Recently Secretary Morton tricked the

channels He arranged that hgufes

sion with brokers. which Indicated that
the forthcoming report for March would
show that the supply of wheat in the
United States was l5i. 10000 bushels. soon
afterwards he learned by telegram from
Chicago that spectators there were pre-

Wnnderfnl Growth.

No suburb of Richmond is so progress
sive as the beautiful little town OF
Barton Heights. Since the opening OF
spring improvements are being nlane II,

sign is varied and the structures are OF
handsome proportions. The, rule strictly
adhered to of having ample iots LOT Ies I-
dences and good-sized front yards gives
10 Barton Heights peculiarly attractive
appearance and makes IL especially de-
sirable as a residential locality.
The little village of two years ago
has sprung into a suburban city of 100
inhabitants almost as IL by magic.
The improvements are of that sub
stantial character that presages in1ch
greater growth, and the conveniences are
far ahead OF other suburban settlements.
Nearly all the residents OF Barton
Heights own their own homes. and by
special arrangements with MIR. Barton
they are able to pay for them on easy

and when called to stand up 70. sen.

Jones apparently did not take any in

close. Then he loaned forward and lis
tened intently. As the words hang by
