Pursuant to a notice from SecretarylHinton, of the Warren County Union the members of the society who had pooled their wool with the society, have been delivering their product at the old factory on lower Tenth street for days, and on Tuesday a number of buyers appeared to bid on the crop. There were spirited bidding, and the entire pooled crop of wool wai finally disposed of to Mr. Dinkelspiel, of Louisville, at a price ranging from 22 cents to 32 cn, according to the quality. The grade Bhows up remarkably well, and in the opinion of Secretary Hinton, the bulk of the pooled crop will grade up Al with the highest price attached. This is said to be at least eight cents higher than the price obtained in any previous year for the past six or eight years. On Wednesday the bidders went to Oakland, and the same firm secured the output there at the same price. The grading is being supervised by members of the association, and it is assured that full justice will be done to the membcrH of the pool. This sucessful completion in the organization of producers will bennincm tive to them to band together again for their mutual protection. In this connection, it Ib learned that n number of 'farmers of the county have already aold their prospective crops of wheat at a price of one dollar a bushel, whilt "thers are holding their prospects for a rise. One extensive wheat dealer is said have declined an offer at $1.10. Howling Green Messenger.

Early Tuesday morning Snodgretsand Cambron received a telephone coll from Marion to bring down their bloodhounds, "Bud" and "Belle." Nineteen plant beds near Marion had been debtroyed the preceeding night. The bed 'o which they took the dogs was about nine miles from Marion, b'loning to' Charles Wring and taking the scent Bud and Belle led them to a man living only two miles from the bed. Mr. Snodgress returned with his hounds Wednesday morning. No arrest ka been made hut reports are circulating that detectives are working on tie and the hounds furnishes excellent ground to work on. The farmers of that community realize a great portion of their crop sales off of tobacco nnd are determined to discover the di of their beds Morgnnfield Sun. As a result of the above mentioned visit of the blood hounds, n subpoena wa9 issued for Geore Simpl'ins, of that vicirity, who was brought before the officers for investig tion. After he was questioned a warrant whf issued and he was nrrested nnd bound over in bonds of $1,000.00 to nwjiit the action of the grrnd jury. His neighbors Wm. Tyner and George Kirk wre phoned for and readily came to the city and signed his bond after which he ws released from cutody. The editor d oi r ot know Mr but his neighbors with whom we have talked do not believe him guilty and think he will be able to clear himself of the charge. Miss Annie Louise Dean has won the distinction of being chosen valedictorian of the class at Sayre College where Bhe graduates next Tuesday. This is peculiarly gratifying to her friends here, who have always recognized her ability, and is just as it should be, for while the class to graduate numbers fifteen, there could be no brighter mind, nor more enthuiastie worker than Annie Dean. Fh , u vim and enthusiasm in her work, appreciates her opportunities and deserves to be honored just as she has been in this case. equity Arms. The Kentucky people aie beginning to ask where they can dispose of a lot of Equity apples this fall. This is a pointer for Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotos. New York will also probably be in the market with a number of cars. A Tennessee corrispondent wants to know where they can dispose of several cars of early potatoes. The Fruit and Produce Department of the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union at Houston, Tex., wants to get in touch with Equity or organized labor buyers in the North this summer and fall for several hundred cars of vegetables and "garden sass." Tho California fruit growers want to get into Equity in order to do some business in the way of raisins, grapes, oranges, apricots, prunes, etc. It ought to be easy for some of our Btrong county unions to take up the matter and buy a car of mixed fruits at from one-third to one-half less than old prices. For instance, suppose you could buy a box of fine raisins at 6 cents at your door that you could not buy of your retail merchant for twice 6, would it not be quite nice to have a box or two this fall? You are going to be able to enjoy quite a number of luxuries in the future that you had to pinch along without in the past. And somo nice raisins won't come in badly, will they? Suppose the Women's Auxiliary should get busy and cull their hubbies into the school house some night ui.a plank down six or eight boxes of fine oranges arid say: "Pitch in anu help yourselves. And then you and the little ones you all love set to work and ma'ce the floor three inches deep with orange peelings. Oh, mv! It's almost a sin to think of a farmer having anything nice once in a while, ain't it? Equity Farm Journal. ; &&& &&&..&x&&&&&&,m I The Facts of Our Policy and Prices.
