HIGH PRICE.
Wheat That Sold for $lC0 per
Pound.

The highest paid for wheat was that
paid to Il. p. McCaslin, a scientific far
mer and experimenter OF Indiana. He
raised only eleven pounds Of the new
variety and sold FIVE pounds for $500.
This amount was paid by u wealthy
Tennesseean from Tullahoma, after u
personal inspection OF the wheat while
growing, under an agreement TO furnish
additional capital sufficient to raise the
wheat on a large scale. Mr. McCaslin
received many handsome offers for the
entire crop, including one of 1000
cash, but he refused TO sell at any price.
This remarkable wheat Is an acct
dental hybrid, being a cross between
the Geuesee Giants and the Fultz, and
Mr.. McCaslin has given it the name
Hoosler Giant. The Hoosier Giant is a
square, smooth-bearded wheat, with a
pearly red berry, partaking more
strongly of the properties Of the Fult2
than OF the Genesee. The distinctive
and valuable feature OF this wheat, how
ever, is its wonderful stoolipg capacity,
which is beyond comparison with any
other variety known. In this respect
it is unlike either of Its genitors.
Mr.. McCaslin has no hesitation in
saying that the wheat is capable of pro-
ducing from so to 100 bushels the acre,
with proper care and propitlOus weather.
The stooling qdality Of this wheat ena-
bles it to winter we'll 1t has rank
stalk, and has habit peculiar to
bearded Russian wheats--that of lying
Nat upon the ground, like moss as soon
as up.
The wheat will not be put on the
market for several years.

and the face be merry to influence the
listener.

ones own jokes" said the before-men-
toned young woman, who was quite
aware of her fault in this respect, but

The other day was talking to a man
whom had met only once or twice be-
fore, and in my efforts to entertain him

There is a life line for the sick, as well as

chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak

invigorate the liver and promote the as

the food The Golden Medical Discov-

FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE
PRELIMINARY MEETING HELD
LAST NIGHT.
Committees to be Selected and An
other Meeting to be Held
Friday Night.

The meeting of the Fourth of July
Committee called by Mayor Land to
make the preliminary arrangements
met last night at the City Trustees
room about twenty of the committee
being present and more arriving after
the conclusion of the brief session.
Mayor Land, in calling the meeting
to order, said it's object was to make
arrangements for having Fourth OF
July celebration that would eclipse
anything in the past. Last year being
during the war, everything was in
favor of it. This year will be Dewey
year and he felt that every effort should
be made to make it a memorable one in
Sacramento.
Nominations for Chairman being
called for, Mayor Land was elected
unanimously
S. Luke Howe was elected Secretary.
Elwood Bruner said that there was
never en- opportunity to make a better
showing than this year. and an eff
fort should be made to make the cele-
bration a better one than last year.
which would then be the best one ever
held here.
District Attorney Baker held similar
views.
C. H. Holmes thought that as no one
had had time to formulate plans, it
would be well to select committees to
arrange the work, and plans could be
presented to the committees.
On motion of S. Luke Howe, the
Mayor was authorized to appoint COM
mittees and that he be granted suffi-
cient time to do SO.
The motion was carried and Mayor
Land suggested that as it would take
two or three days to act intelligently
in the selection of committees, it would
be well to meet on Friday night.
The suggestion was adopted and the
meeting adjourned till Friday night.
