Wheat Market Presents
Encouraging Prospect.
LITTLE WHEAT BEING OFFERED
Farmers Have Not Yet Determined
Yield and Look Backward to Six
bit Wheat Soon.

Though quotations made by local
wheat buyers today were some three
cents better than the ruling price of
the past week, there has been little
of this seasons crop offered by grow
ers so far The reason advanced by
one dealer for the reluctance of farm
ers to offer their crops at this early
date is that harvesting is just fairly
on throughout the valley and the
yield is yet hardly determined. Bet
ter prices are believed to be in store
later on and this is the one potent
reason why so little wheat has ap-
peared On the market.
Bluestem was quoted at 50 and 70
cents today, wheat on board, and
club would probably bring IS cents,
though the best price quoted today
was 641a cents on board. The only
sales made public so far was some

The pumbbeli Fruit.

The new dumbbell fruit. which first
came to London two years ago. has a
curious history. In 1886 . young far
mer named Jeffreys quarreled with
the girl he was about to marry. A
week before the marriage day he
sailed for India, and. after drifting
about for some years. finally settled
In a small island OF Ceylon. The poor
fellow had consumption and knew that
he could not live long, so he existed
quietly, amusing himself by cultivat-
ing fruit trees. He produced several
curious varieties, among them the
dumbbell fruit. He lived long enough
to see this in full bearing and to know
that 1t was q great success. Then. in
1898, he died. His heirs have 4 gold
mine in the twenty-acre orchard he
planted Of this strange fruit. It has
the shape of q Siamese twin peach,
and flavor between that of = peach
and q pineapple.

Little Harry was very eager to see

the ordeal Of spending an afternoon
there. She would not refuse to take
the child, but she used all her powers
Of argument to dispel his desire to go.

would be stiding She offered him q

But Harry was obdurate. The glow
ing posters Of the circus had done
their work For weeks he had seen
dancing elephants. trick ponies. and
daring bareback riders in his dreams.
Now he must see them In reality.
Finally, In desperation, his mother
said: Remember, Harry. God doesn't

fellow. for he looked very sober
~You can't expect God to take care

Harry pondered the situation . mo-

Running to the window, he waved his
hand at the sky. and called out:
