heavy yield of tame and wild hay.

JIM BECK WAS

Was Willing TO Take $500 In Cash for
His Driving Mare, but $1,000 In
Notes Did Not Look Good 10 Him
Still Has the Mare In His Own Sta

Himself.

Because he believed in the old ad-
age, "a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush," Jim Beck, local horse
dealer, according TO his friends, Is
ahead a fancy little driving mare, for
the sale of which he had bargained
with w. r. Clemens, the agent of the
four Idaho stockmen who secured
stock from practically every horse
man in the northwest on the strength
OF worthless notes.
Beck was approached by Clemens.
who understood he had an animal to
sell. He had.
The price was s200-and It was CIV
ing her away.
Clemens looked the animal over. 1t
was.
Beck nearly tainted at this turn,
unknown in the classics of "hoss trad
ing" He wondered what Clemens
thought she was worth.
The Idaho agents modest appraise-
ment was $1,000.
Near-faint No. 2 on the part OF
Beck. Possibly she was, but he would
take the $500 just the same.
She was standard bred, wasn't she =?
She was.
Then Clemens had a buyer who
would give a thousand for her.
Well. Clemens could just have $500
out of that thou"
Certainly the millennium had come!
Such an easiness. 1t was like getting
a near-beer jag.
Clemens made good-that is he
produced the buyer. Beck threw near
faints Nos. to 23 inclusive in rapid
succession-for the buyer was just
keen to take the animal at a thous-
and. The thing was too easy. Beck
had to stop and shake hands with
himself He pinched himself to learn
If he were really alive, and hadn't
died and landed in some horse-trad-
er's heaven.
Just then Clemens called him aside.
The man was a bit hard up just now,
but he'd give his note for the money.
Clemans had credentials showing that
he was perfectly good-oh yes, per-
fectlyl
He would be glad to wait for his
commission. Beck could take the
buyers note for the thou and give
Clemens his note for $500 to fall due
just after the other. Then the buyer
explained just how he happened to be
short, but how easy 1t would all be.
1t was easy; too easy; too darn
easy.
Beck felt a little ashamed to be
mixed in such deal. He was asham-

said, but | wanted the money just
now. 1 tell you-you get me 5000
cash and Wen let the future take care
of the rest. In fact, there needn't be
any rest. I'll take 5000 for her any
day, and you won't have any trouble
getting that on your note"
Perhaps not, but the buyer didn't |
get 1t. Neither did he get the mare. !
And now Jim Beck is glad that he
wouldn't think the millennium had |

CHINESE MERCHANTS ARE
FINED FOR BOYCOTTING

Hongkong.-The registrar general
has imposed fines on all Chinese
shops in this city which have dis
played signs advising their customers
not to purchase goods Of Japanese
manufacture. 1t is stated also that
the municipal officials have advised
the city merchants to purchase piece
goods imported from Japan.
This action OF the officials Is deeply
resented by the populace, and already
efforts are made to establish an or
ganized resistance to the decision Of
the registrar. Letters of appeal,
couched in inflammatory language,
have been sent to the pres urging the
collection Of fund with which to
flight China's battle" but the papers
have not published these misslves, as
they have been advised by the gov
ernment against saying anything to
stir up feeling over the boycott.
The action Of the government Is
likely to promote enmity among the
Chinese.

Comet Grows Rrlghter.

A bulletin issued by Harvard coll
lege observatory says that Prof. f. B.
Frost, director of the Yerkes observ-
atory, calls attention to the recent in
crease of brightness of Warehouses;
comet. He writes on october 29:
"The comet on that date was visible
to the naked eye, and three or four
degrees Of tail could readily be seen
in a small field glass Three spec
trum plates were obtained at Yerkes.
Two of these had exposures Of one
hour. No continuous spectrum was
preceptible on the date mentioned.
Hence the important inference Is
reached that the comets light was
very largely intrinsic. Seven bands
were very conspicuous as knots on the
plate"

WHAT IS TURKEY WHEAT?
Kansas Millers Wants State Board to
Formulate Definition.

A delegation of about 35 Kansas mill
part OF the state and from Shawnee
grain commission today in session in
the governors Office in an effort to
get the commission to make some rule
or regulation defining what Kansas
Turkey wheat really is or should be.
7. J. Smiley, of Topeka, presented the
grain mems case to the commission,
declaring that there was a range OF
Ave to eight cents in the price of Tur-
key wheat above that of ordinary
wheat. He wanted the commission to
formulate a definition of Turkey wheat
that would be accepted by the grain
inspectors and be a standard in the
Kansas City market.
There was a difference of opinion as
to what per cent of dark and what per
cent of Turkey wheat should stand for
the regulation No. 3 wheat best quality,
some favoring 80 per cent Turkey,
while others held out for 100 per cent
Turkey.
The commission finally asked Mr..
Smiley and other members of the dele
cation to prepare a schedule or defini-
ton of what they wanted and present
1t to the commission. The commission
stated that the same question came up
last year and was settled by leaving
the matter to the grain inspectors to
determine as the wheat came in. The
commissioners also declared that Il was
their experience that the range in price
of Turkey wheat was a wide one at all
times of the year.
The commission is spending the az
ternoon on the question.

BONDS ISSUED TOO soon
Why Auditor Nation Wouldn't Regis
ter Wichita Securities.

The refusal of State Auditor ]. NJ.
Nation to register the $4,000 issue of
internal Improvement bonds for the
city of Wichita was for the reason that
the bonds were issued by the mayor
and council on the same day that the
notices Of the amount of their assess
ment for these improvements were
sent to the Wichita property owners.
Now the law gives these property own
ers thirty days in which to come In
and pay the entire assessment at one
time If they want to. and thus save
the interest on ten or twenty year
bonds. The Wichita officials did not
give the required thirty days notice,
and as many of the property owners
did come in and pay up their entire
assessment in this case. it was neces-
sary to retire 80 bonds of $500 each
from the issue. All this is contrary to
law and the auditor holds that the city
will have to make a new bond issue be-
fore it can get them registered at the
state auditors office.
