1t is with much satisfaction that in
making our quadrennial report we are
able to present an exhibit of sales and
earnings which surpass those of any
other four years In the long history of
file Book Concern. While the profits
of the last fiscal year are not quite
equal to those of the previous year,
the slight falling off in net earnings is
more than accounted for by the reduc-
ton in the hours of labor in our manu-
featuring department during that year
from a nine to an eighthour day, with
no reduction in the scale of wages.
The total sales during the quadren-
NAL have been s4.i75.019 showing an
increase over the previous qnadren-
mum of $577.327 The net profits have
been s735.999. and increase over the

ADVANCE CHECKED|WHEAT WEAKENED
In Some Strong Stocks-Reading Con-
spicuous Factor-Union Paci-
fic Causes Disappointment.

New York, May THE advancing
tendency of prices was partly checked
today, or broken in upon, by reactions
in some recent strong stocks. Others
continued to rise, but without the
dominating effect on speculative sen
| timent exercised by the movement in
Hartman issues. Reading was a con-
| specuous example. That stock was
carried back to the previous high
level of the year and slightly above
but encountered repeated set backs
at about that stage of the advance.
The moderate reactionary tendency
of prices was not attributed to any
important new developments but
rather to technical conditions. There
was some disappointment that no ac-.
tion was taken by Union Pacific au-
thorities towards the sale of the in
tended bond issue. Failure to obtain
quorum of directors for the meet
ing which Wall street expected would
be due to the necessity for the pres
ence of the president of the company
at another important meeting. The
assumption that this other important
meeting had to do with the efforts
making amongst railroad officials to
bring about an advance in freight
rates directed attention to that topic,
which is an important one in view
of the speculative element. Belief
that freight rates were to be advanced
has been a notable influence on the
recent strength of stocks. Money con-
ditions We're little changed. Some |
is given to coming treasury
withdrawals which call for the sur
render of $2O,000,0 900 by the banks, by
of this week. Little effect |
is looked for from this or from the
additional surrender of S25,000000 |
called for later in the month, owing |
to high level of New York bank re-
serves and steady payments by
United States treasury because of
deficit in revenue income.

I. c. Brown, 3 wealthy farmer
living near Galatia, Kas., boasts
of that part Of the great wheat belt
as being the very choicest part of
the whole state. When Mr.. Brown
settled out there settlers were far

as they are now with fine farm
homes. we're then an open plains
country. Speaking of some of the
incidents of the early days. Mr..
Brown said: "On a cloudy day it
was a little risky to start out across
the country to 20 to any place.
Without the aid of the sun a per-
son would wind about, and would
just as likely as not come back to

At present everything::..looks pro-
