Loss E stim a ted a t $4,100 On B u ild in g A n d S tock

Shortly after 4 o’clock Monday morning the fire siren summoned the fire department and about half the town to the Community grocery store in Chatsworth where fire broke out.

After about 45 minutes the fire was extinguished but considerable damage was done to stock and building. Dense smoke rolling out of the store entrances kept the fire fighters baffled for a time

i but finally the new fog nozzle, used for the first time, enabled the firemen to crawl into the smoke-filled room and get at the

! seat of the fire.i The fire was confined largely | to the west central part of the s building and started either in or | near the desk. It seemed to be [ burning fiercely just over the j metal ceiling and holes were cut in the roof to get water into the fire.,

The fire was discovered by John Gelmer, who also discovered the fire in March which gutted the Baldwin and theatre buildings. Mr. Gelmer was coming up town at 3:45 to do janitor work at two business places he looks after and smelled smoke three aijd a half blocks away. He came on to the business district, located the fire and informed the central tele­phone office which turned on the siren. Had the fire not been dis­covered until later in the morn­ing when the public is up the chances are that the fire might have been as bad as the March fire.

Both the building and contents of the store were insured and the companies carrying the risks were advised by phone and before noon Monday an adjuster was here to

J adjust the losses. The building 1 belongs to Mrs. Raymond Ger­bracht of Brook, Indiana. She

| was notified by phone and came I with her husband and family at once to look after the loss.

The loss on the building was es­timated at $2000 and on Mr. Dan- cey's stock at $2100.

The adjuster authorized a con­tractor to estimate the cost of re­pairs on the building, including the plate glass windows, all of which were cracked by the heat.

He stated that he would return in three weeks, at the end of his vacation, and determine the los9. In the meantime, we understand, the store will be closed.

Pliny Dancey, owner of the stock, stated that his loss was covered by insurance. Much of the surplus stock was in the rear room and wras not damaged by fire but suffered some from wa­ter.

Mr. Dancey’s hobby is his rec­ords and invoices. He knew within a few dollars of the value of the stock damaged and carried in the building. He started in bus­iness in 1918 in the building where the fire occurred. He had every invoice and every expense item in his files. Some of the older ones were burned because his safe would not hold all the records but he probably knew’ as well or bet­ter than any other merchant in this locality just what he was do­ing.

------------- o-------------FLEW ERC'OUPE TO PURDUE UNIVERSITY FOR FIELD DAY

F. L. Livingston and H. W. Hab- erkorn flew to Purdue University Monday to a field day demonstra­tion staged for farmer flyers. They made the 160-mile round trip without incident and witness­ed several demonstrations. An estimated 500 planes were at the meet. An organization was per­fected last March to promote bet­ter flying conditions In local com­munities.

LAN NON RECALLS "GOOD OLD DAYS" OK iiAHKBALL HERE

State Representative James P. Lannon, of Saum-min, longs for the "good old days" of baseball, when teams such as the Chicago Cubs and New York Giants did not disdain to play an exhibition game or tw'o with teams in this vicinity.

"Oh, for the good old days of the Saunemin Stars, the Kemp ton-Cabory team, the Frank L. Smiths of Dwight, the Pontiac Pastimes and the Flanagan Red Sox. "Them" were the days, when, with but few autos, we filled the parks. It was then that the Sau- ncmin Stars played the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the Champion Cubs team really made them play ball.

"After the Cubs won the cham­pionship after the great Merkle boner, they met the Saunemin boner, they met the Saunemin team in Pontiac with the Tinkers to Everes to Chance combination

working. Three-fingered Mordecai Brown pitched a part of that game. Great was the interest in baseball at that time.

“It was then that the great 'G' Huff of the University of Il­linois wrote to E. R. Smith of Saunemin, stating that Saunemin had furnished more athletes to the U. of I. than any place in the state outside of Chicago. The letter is still prized highly by Mr. Smith.

"We had fUghter, Carrithcrs, Brooks, Farr. George and Coonie Shapland, Lefty Watts, Beyer. John and Sam Lannon, Charles Ridinger and many others who wrote baseball history back in the days of 1907 to 1912. Nothing is being done, however, to revive hard twill at Saunemin."

LC.-LES" ARENDS— ■■ ■- —Government In Business

Less than a month ago, a little item was found tucked away In the real estate section of a Wash­ington newspaper. The item dis­closed that the Federal Housing Authority had accepted a bid of |106,000 for the factory develop­ments at the Arthurdale Home­steads, near Reedsville, West Virginia. Previous to this an­nouncement it was learned that a $176,000 bid for the living and community units of the same pro­ject had been accepted. For those with short memories, Arthurdale was the clarion cry of the gov­ernment housing advocates back in 1935. This experiment con­sisted of 166 homes, a factory, community and school buildings, which cost $2,744,724.09 and it was financed by the Federal gov­ernment at 3% for a period of 30 years. By that time, the govern­ment planners predicted, Arthur­dale would be a booming com­munity and would show private builders how to opera It* on behalf of the public welfare. The rec­ords show that the average cost per home in 1935 was $7,649.24 and the recent selling price was $2,335.13, the difference, of course coming out of the taxpayers’ poc­ket. Arthurdale was but one of 42 government financed projects. According to testimony heard be­fore the House Agriculture com­mittee, these experiments cost a total of $65,808,271.60.

SilverCongress has lieen fighting and

bickering over the price of silver. Sliver, like other Items, Is in short supply. It Is estimated domestic production will fall about 30 to 45 million ounces short of filling requirements of the 185 million ounces needed this year. Uncle Sam has over one-quarter of a million ounces on hand which is much more than needed for coin­age. In the past, Congress has granted the government authority to sell such silver to industrial users at 71.11c nn ounce, but such r.uthority ended last December. So, silver state Senators have put up a long and hard fight In an

or ladies and girls willing to $ | effort to fix the price of silverat 90.3c wh'ch price finally was to rise to $1.29. After several votes by both the Senate and House, a compromise was reached fixing the price at 90.5c. One might well wonder why such a big fuss was stirred up about the matter, but few people realize the essential need of silver for many industrial purposes. Without sil­ver. the motion picture Industry might have to fold up and pic­tures used in papers and maga­zines would be out, besides the fact that jewelers want and need silver for their business.

C ongress Q uitoA tired and weary Senate and

House of Representatives now closes the 2nd session of the 79th Congress. Legislation of utmost importance has been handled dur­ing the past two years. Only time will answer whether Con­gress has acted wisely or unwise­ly In dealing with major bills. With each Incoming Congress, the problems seen: to become more weighty. This can in part, be ac­counted for because of the late war, our international affairs and the growing tendency toward bur­eaucratic control over the lives of our citizens. More and more the idea has developed that Opcle Sam must look out for the wel­fare of his people rather than the people looking out for Uncle Sam. Congress, during the late years, has been sitting in almost con­stant sessions. Serving in our national legilative body Is now a year-around Job whereas up to 1935, sessions were offtimes com­pleted In four or five months. Since 1946 is a campaign year, ev­ery member is anxious to get home to see his constituents and to do some campaigning. Many questions will be asked and an­swered between now and Novem­ber 6th. This writer hopes to thoroughly cover his district to visit and talk with as many con­stituents as possible and stands willing to discuss any legislative problems and answer all ques­tions if able to do so.

Looks like somebody could figure out a plan to take care of them. The womens’ clubs have bought some playground equipment but even the children do not relish playing in high weeds and grass.

------------- o-------------Burglars Visit Piper )ity Business Houses

Last Week(Today’s Piper City Journal)

Two Piper City business places were burglarized last Thursday night or early Friday morning, probably the latter .after Night Watchman Charles Seward had completed his rounds and gone home at four oclock.

Soran’s Cafe and the Merritte Haase tavern were the two places entered, the entrance to both places being made from the rear. At Soran’s Cafe the window screen was removed and the win­dow pried open. The thieves seemed to be interested only in securing cash and here they raid­ed the cash register .taking about $61 and also seemed to know where to find an extra box con­taining $19 of C. I. P. S. funds, which had been collected during the day. Except for a few car­tons of cigarettes nothing else was taken there.

Entrance to the tavern was gained by breaking in the door of the Herr machine shop at the rear and then the door leading into the tavern. From the cash register they took a sum of $43. They added several bottles of wine to their haul but quantities of other liquor were untouched.

Sheriff Crowe was called from Paxton Friday morning and made an examination and took some finger prints but to date no trace of the thieves has been reported.

By G. L. JordanProfessor, Agricultural Economics

(Prepared July 25)Considerable fluctuation can be

expected in the prices of farm products during the next few weeks. Prices of major food items including meat, poultry, eggs, and milk, can not be put under price control before August 20. Other food items may come under price control immediately. The reaction to passage of the new OPA bill by the House was a rather dras­tic decline in stock prices and most commodities, but nrices of cattle and hogs moved upward on curtailed receipts. However, it is likely that price ceilings will be restored on livestock and live­stock products a t a figure below present levels, that grain market­ing controls will be retained until fall and that the prices of feed grains may decline further as a result of the bumper corn crop in prospect and the reduction in livestock numbers.

On the basis of conditions on July 15, com production estimates for 1946 were placed a t 3,341 mil­lion bushels. Production for 1945 was 3,018 million bushels, and the ten-year average, 1935-44, was 2,608 million bushels. An increase of 42 million bushels since July 1, was also made in the wheat es­timate, largely as a result of an anticipated increase of nearly 34 million bushels in spring wheat production. For Illinois the es­timated production of corn is 488,-376,000 bushels compared with last year’s production of 391,390,- 000 bushels, and winter wheat production is estimated at 21,522,-000 bushels compared with last year’s production of 25,456,000 bushels.

The Department of Agriculture has announced that there will be no wheat marketing quotas and no wheat acreage allotments dur­ing the 1947-48 crop season. The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 provides for such quotas when the total wheat supply ex­ceeds normal wheat consumption by 35 percent. Although a bump­er wheat crop is expected, the total supply will be held down by the present low levels of wheat stocks. A normal year's domestic consumption and ex­ports plus 35 percent is now cal­culated at 1,239 million bushels.

Commercial hatchings of chicks during June were the smallest since June 1937. The output was 70 percent less than the large hatch in June last year and 53 percent below the June 1940-44 average. Production of chicks during the first six months of this year was down 19 percent from the same period last year. The number of young chickens on farms July 1 was 15 percent below a year earlier but one per­cent above the 1905-44 average.

Even if price controls and sub­sidies are reinstated, unit re­turns to dairymen in the remain­der of 1946 are practically cer­tain to average higher than a year earlier, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The ceiling and production pay­ments will doubtless be maintain­ed at a rather high level in order to Induce a high level of milk production.

Wage rates of hired farm work­ers in the United States on July1 were eight percent higher than a year earlier and the highest on record, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Since April 1, wage rates have risen 10 percent and stand at 331 per­cent of the 1935-39 average.

The T. P. & W. railroad has placed two mixed trains on their road to carry passengers. These trains run in the evening between Peoria and Effner.

A SICK republic, like a human invalid, passes through a crisis in the course of most any protracted illness. After the crisis, the pa­tient rallies toward recovery or rinks with alarming haste toward the end. Whatever is to be done after a crisis must be accom­plished with dispatch, or it is too late. The English gove passed through a crisis approx: mately a year ago. *

Since England’s current admin­istration proclaimed itself owner and operator of the coal mines, Britain has been viewed popu­larly as Socialistic — one of the collectivist nations. Not all the individuals in the Empire are so­cialists. Large elements are not. But this large minority is being forgotten. Curtains are being drawn. The crisis is over and England has gone /r/r.Now We NOW the ailment that Hfve It prostrated John Bull

has been communi­cated to Uncle Sam. The symp­toms are unmistakable as un­dulant fever; wave upon wave of collectivist power, with a show of growing intensity. Our govern­ment has taken over our coal mines from their owners because of work stoppages through strikes '— strikes by the best paid group of mine workers on earth.

I think perhaps the workers ought to have had an increase in pay, which *they no doubt could have obtained without striking. Nevertheless, they struck and government took over the busi­

ness long enough, at least, to close a new contract giving a raise of $1.85 a day per man and a royalty of 64 a ton on coal to? lve their union a “welfare" und. The new “welfare" fund

has no relation to the union's sick and accident fund, already large.

Early THIS contract will raise Signs the price of coal 254 to

304 a ton and build up the “welfare" fund at the rate of 25 million dollars a year. The Senate has approved the execu­tive department’s right to impose this contract on the mine owners when they take their property back. This is an attack of the undulant socialism.

Government can now control the cost of coal to the owner of a mine. By fixing labor’s wage, a ruler can make coal production cost whatever suits his fancy. Government already can control the price of coal to consumers. The neck of the coal industry is In a legal nut-cracker and gov­ernment has the power to choke it to death at will — that, or take it over entirely. I

With the sanction of Congress, which I hope never comes, federal officials can do to any industry what they are doing to coal. Each assault on freedom will be one more attack of the dread disease, undulant socialism. It works like the fever which, scientific men say, can be cured in rare instances if vigorous treatment is begun in the early stages.

Selected Short Subjects

A crowd, estimated a t about1,000 persons witnessed a fire fighting demonstration in Chats- worth Tuesday night. Two stockades or temporary buildings wciq erected on vacant ground, w tst of the Livingston elevator, and these were saturated with oil and set afire. When the fire was well started, the village fire siren gave the alarm and both the regular fire truck and a high pressure fog fire fighting truck, both manned by Chatsworth fire­men, made the run from up town. The regular truck had to make hydrant connection a block east of the fire. Both arrived a t the scene of the fire about the same time and within two minutes of the alarm. The fog fire fighter went into action first as no hy­drant connection was necessary and before the regulars had their hose ready for work, had the fire practically extinguished, using only 60 gallons of the 535 gallons of water in the true*.

The heavy rain Tuesday after­noon made it necessary to use considerable gasoline and fuel oil to saturate the buildings but the demonstration was a success. After the fire had been almost extinguished, more gasoline was thrown on one of the buildings and the fire allowed to gain head­way again. When the building was well destroyed, the fog spray was again turned on and the fire smothered out a second time. Built Far Farm Fires

This new style fire truck is prana rily designed ar.c intended for use on farm fires where there is a lack of water. The truck carries 435 gallons of water, with a pump that will develop 850- pound pressure, producing a fine spray or fog that quickly smoth­ers the fire. The manufacturers, a Lansing, Michigan, firm, claim that the truck carries enough water to put out any kind of a fire in an eight-room house and that it will also extinguish any hay mow fire in which the roof has not fallen in. No chemicals

we used. At the demonstration it was claimed that less than 60 gallons of water were used.Truck Costs 16,500

An effort is being made to or­ganize some kind of a country fire district around Chatsworth and purchase one of the new trucks. The cost will be from about $6,500 to $8,000 depending on the size and equipment. The truck shown in Chatsworth costs about $6,500 but one a trifle larger is recommended. The basic cost is around $4,250, then the chasis costs from $1,100 to 2,000, then if ladders, spot lights, an extra gasoline engine and hose for refilling the water tank are de­sired, the cost may run up to $7,000 or $8,000.How Cost is Met

There are three methods being used to pay for trucks in other places. One is to receive dona­tions from farmers. The second is to form a district and tax land to pay. This requires an elec­tion and approval by voters and occasions considerable delay. The third is to lay out a fire district, figure out the number of acres in the district .approximate the cost per acre and ask all farm ownesr to pay according to their acreage. This plan it is estimated would cost land owners here from 10c to 25c an acre for their farms. If the truck is kept in town and used in town for fires the town people will be expected to pay toward the purchase of the truck. Farm fires would have first call; that is the truck would respond to a farm fire even if at a town fir;* when the call came from the country.

Fire fighters making country calls would have to be paid as they are at present. The Plain- dealer is toid that the insurance companies have or will pay this expense.

It is now up to the farm folks to decide whether they want this modern fire fighting equipment or not and if they do, what plan they prefer to pay for the truck.

Engfish War Bride Joins Husband Here WednesdayJ. C. Brown Drives To Mattoon to Meet WifeMrs. Cameron Brown, of Eng­

Two Reunions,Are Held Sunday In Marsh Park

Two family reunions were held in Marsh park, Fairbury, Sunday, at which many local people were in attendance.

The annual reunion of ex-Mis­souri residents drew about one hundred people from surrounding town and even from Lutesville, Missouri.

Before the sumptuous basket dinner was served, Evert Bess, of Monon, Indiana, pronounced the invocation and during the day friendships were renewed and the crowd was dismissed with songs and prayer to meet a t the same place on the fourth Sunday in July, 1947. The same officers were re-elected for the coming year. They include J. H. Bess, of Chatsworth, president; Lester Perkins of Fairbury, secretary- treasurer.

At the same park, the same day the annual Meisenhelder reunion was held with 64 persons present, who also spent the greater part of the day visiting and partaking of a fine picnic dinner, served caf­eteria style. Before leaving ice cream and cake were also served. The 1947 reunion will be held the fourth Sunday in July a t the same place.

Officers for the coming year were chosen as follows: President, Mrs. Wendel Chrisman, Chats­worth; Secretary, Henry Meisen­helder, Pontiac.

William A. Robbins, Pontiac, has filed suit for divorce in circuit court against Jewel E Robbins, Pontiac. He charged desertion, and asked custody o f the couple’s one child.

It seems possible that the teaching of man­ual arts may have to be tempor­arily dropped as instructors seem to be very scarce.
