WELLNEAN TELLS OF
WALL STREETS FUTURE

Here is another shot from
Walter WeIlman, the staff corr
respondent of the Chicago Rec
ord Herald: s'Down town Gin
New York; they feel so sure
OF the election of Taft that they
are already discounting that out
come on the stock exchange.
Unless they get big scare be
tween now and November 3-which
is quite possibility election day the
discount will be complete and stocks
will be so high that they are almost
sure to fall little instead of rising
higher upon the event itself. On
the other hand, if there should be
an upset and the wrong man were to
win, Wall street would simply go
crazy. 1t would think the end of the
world was at hand. Values would
prove to be bottomless pits. Down
town they would be using hundred
dollar shares to light five-cent cigars
with. For several days this wearing
of sackcloth and ashes, this wailing
and lamcntation over a ruined coun-
try, would continue. And then all
would pass as quickly as ii came. like
a summer storm. Wall street would
soon make up it's mind that the coun-
try was safe, after all, and that ev-
erything was not going to the bow
vows. In sixty days stocks would be
back to their ante-election level. And
by the time the next big national
campaign arrived Wall street would
know all about it months ahead of
everybody else, as usual

Mississippi and Louisiana" The
Captain is as familiar with all the
agricultural conditions of the three
states named as he is with the al
phabet and tho farmers of Illinois

How Do You Read Your Newspaper.

How often reader picks up The
Manchester Democrat, or any other
weekly publication, scans its col
umns Of news, and throws it aside
without further thought? A story
of its composition aud how the week
is spent might beinteresting.
The local page of a paper might
be taken for an example. The 10
calls" sdch as are cleaned by repre-
sentative Of the paper, average one
hundred and fifty to an issue, which
means that rs per cent of them have
been secured through personal inter-
views, and in this manner it is dem
onstrated that the people of the town
are closely identified with the paper.
The reporter notes the circumstances
of the local" and afterwards the
matter, such as it usually appears in
printed form, is written out on a
typewriter, and given to the bus;-
ness manager for correction or
authority for publication. The copy"
then goes to the foreman, who gives
it to the compositors, providing the
work is by hand composition.
1t may be surprising to know that
there are 152 letters and characters
of type. which the compositor must
know to be an expert. and nearly IS
characters, or letters, are used on the
average in the makeup of the paper.
The line is set in what is called a
stick" which is soon filled and emp
tied into q galley" which, when
full, is proved up" that is, the
proof reader is given copy of the
matter for correction, after which
such errors are justified and the type
placed in the .chase" on the day the
newspaper is published, when the
forms are locked and taken to the
press, where they are deposited on
J the ''bed" of the machine, and g.

mercial club, which had charge of
soliciting funds for the 4th of July
celebration made the rounds the first

The commercial club does not meet
again until Tuesday evening, June 9th,
but all arrangements for the celebration
will be well under way by that time.
1t has been suggested that good

have lined up against the local boys
that afternoon but it rained. Arrange
ments were made in the evening for
the visitors to remain over until Friday

day but again old Jupiter Pluvious,
the rainmaker, was in evidence.
After this delay everyone wanted to
see contest between the two teams
and some of the sporting fraternity
raised the sum of $50 to be played
for Saturday afternoon.
They played for it. The weather
Saturday was ideal for baseball and a
good sized crowd turned out to wit
ness the contest. Umpire Wilbur Z.
Moore called play ball. the locals
took the field and the game was on.
Robinson, the first man up for the
visitors, got his elbow in the path of
the ball and went to first base. He
eventually scored. After that, until
Vollmer went to bat in the fourth in
ming, it was 'one, two, three, side
out Bonner, Vollmer's pitcher,
circled the bases in the fourth inning
and Brown, the local thirdsacker,
frightened things up by doing the same
when it came his turn. From that
time on Vollmer couldn't do a thing
but make it interesting for the home
bunch. In the 5th, 9th and 9TH innings
neither side scored. The VollmeI

inning but our boys did, bless EN-

Agent c. w. Mount, of Lewiston,
were in the city Monday. The
gentlemen are making trip over the
prairie country to secure data relative
to the probable tonnage which will be
shipped from this section of the coun-

to the O. R. g. n. inasmuch as the
company is to share in the tonnage
from the prairie through a joint own
ership in the line now building from
Culdesac to Grangeville.
