CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
r CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Wheat for December
delivery passed the dollar mark today and sold
at s100h. The advance was caused by
lively export demand and fresh reports or
damage in Western Canada. At the close
the price showed net gain of cents COM
pared with final quotations of yesterday. Corn
was up NE Oats we're 1z6c higher. Provisions
were &C to TIC lower
The market was weak early in the day on
selling by commission houses, but during the
last half of the session sentiment became very
bulish and prices advanced nearly 2 cents
from the low point of the day. The chief
cause for the improved demand was the re-
port from Western Canada that large part
of the wheat crop had been ruined by unfavor-
able weather.
Another bulish factor was a report that sixty
boatoads of wheat had been taken in New
York for export Aasharp up turn In oats
also strengthened the wheat market. The clos
ing was strong and close to the highest point.
December wheat opened Nc lower to Nc higher
at sSM@99%c, sole off to 9Shc, advanced to
s1.00A and closed at s1.00M
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 100000 bushels. Primary receipts were
S9S 900 bushels. against 1,092000 bushels on the
same day last year.
Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 49S cars. against 4s3 cars last week
and 523 one year ago. The corn market
was active and irregular.
The market closed strong. December opened
unchanged to BGAc higher at 56as@56hc to
56%c, sold between 55Z and 571c and closed at
57d57hc Local receipts were 1893 cars, with
ITO of contract grade
An excellent speculative demand. which was
based upon strong cash market caused q
strong feeling in oats. December oats opened
at 561kc and closed at 56Ac. Local receipts
were $50 cars. Liquidation in the October
holding of provisions caused weak market
in all deliveries. At the close January pork
was down 27h@25hc. Lard was SC lower at

Road Maintenance.

Some have an idea that the perma-
nent roads, SO called, will or ought to
last forever without any repairs be-
cause they cost SO much to build.
With that same kind of reasoning we
would have Il right to expect that Il
modern thrashing machine that costs
several thousand times as much as the
old fashioned fail ought to last forever
without cent expended for repairs.
And that, while a violin that costs So
has to be tuned and have new strings,
one costing thousand dollars should
never need new strings and should be
ways stay in tune. A good road is
worth. for business or pleasure. sew
eral times as much as bad road, and
some portion of this we can afford to
expend in keeping 1t in good condition.
The permanency Of the road depends
upon its being kept in perfect repair.

making touring delightful. Every point

spent by the tourists in towns and vii

Good Roads Magazine says that
while some Of the finest scenery in ths
world is to be found in America. the
fact that we have not yet built roads to
make it accessible to tourists results
in a great loss each year to this coun-
try. So much value is attached to se-
curing the patronage of tourists that
foreign governments spend vast sums
in improving their roads as an at
traction.

The lyre Bird.

The largest and handsomest of all
the song birds is the Tyre bird Its home
is in Australia where its song Is heard
morning and evening. 1t is heard
oftener in winter than in summer.
The chief beauty of the Tyre bird is in
the plumage of its tail. which is ele-
CANT and in the form of an ancient
Tyre. While singing the Tyre bird
spreads It's tail over its head like a
peacock and droops its wings to the
ground. This bird is not only fine

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Improving a county's Highways Sent
Price of Land Up,


Bradley county, Tenn. covering 325
square miles of territory. had an as
sessment valuation equal to 50 per acre
and an average tax rate of S1.65 per
500 when agitation in favor of good
roads began there. After a long and
earnest struggle the advocates of i'm
provement were able to carry by a
small majority measure which pro-
yided for the issuing of bonds for 800.
600, to be used for improving their pub
lie thoroughfares. Opponents of the
scheme fought it in the courts and thus
held back the work of advancement,
but the courts decided that these bonds
would be valid and ordered that they
should be issued
Warned by the hostility which had
SO delayed their work, the advocates Of
good roads began cautiously to carry
out their undertaking in such way as
should make converts if not warm
friends of their opponents. Competent
engineers We're engaged to plan and to
direct the work, and the most efficient
machinery was bought, every part of
the work was done in the best way
practicable and every care taken to get
the best results for the money.
Before half of this $4,000 was spent
all parts Of the county clamored for ad.
ditional money for road Improvement
of all their roads, and there was little
if any opposition to providing for IN
issue of $1S6o00 worth of bonds for
this purpose.
A result of this was that lands which
could not find buyers at So to $40 ar
acre so long as the roads We're either
dry. dusty and rough. steep and badly
aligned or wet. muddy and stony were
easily salable at SO to $50 per acre
even before the work Of making the
roads good was completed. Another re
suit is that the county seat has gained

Catching h ;.
= Butterflies.

To catch butterflies
you must reach out after
them. AS a rule you
won't catch many in your
hand. You must use a
net. 1t is the net that
scoops them in.
A hand reach in
catching butterflies is no
better than a handbill in
catching business. 1t is
the net that counts.
The net is the news
paper. This reaches out
to all the people and
scoops them in. Expert
ence of several genera
tions has shown that the
newspaper is the best
business bringer.
Take, for instance,
this paper. Most peo-
Pile take it.) An an
nouncement in this pa
per goes into the homes
of the people whom you
must reach if you get
the business you are
after
