PATTEN WINS IN
WHEAT STRUGGLE

rotary of Agriculture Wilson, declar-
ing the latters estimate of available
supplies is a joke, and lecturing re-
porters who, he alleges have been
more entertaining than accurate in
their stories.
AS to talk of removing the tariff on
wheat as a slap at manipulators, Mr.
Patten was for It,
I'm in favor of removing it right
now, because We'll have to do SO inside
of ten years, at any rate. 1t would not
affect the price of wheat penny for
the markets of the world are on a
parity right now. Take off the duty
on corn, oats and livestock, too. for it
will not be long before we have to
import them. 1 have said this before,
and Jimmy Hill has been preaching
it to the farmers along his railroads
for the last three or four years.
"As to Mr.. Wilson, he is absolutely
incorrect There was not 143,0O0,oO0
bushels on farms March 1. 1t was
nearer 100,0O0,00O. My information is
better than this, and I know what 1
am talking about.
But don't take it from me; go to
any big trader who pays out his money
for accurate information on which he
risks his capital. They say 1 have
corner in wheat. / have not
THE wheat I have would not feed
the world for one day"
The weeks place in speculative his
tory is due to the practical passage of
the so-called May DEAF and the
active engagement of bulls and bears
all along the line concerning the
proper price for July contracts for

THREE TRUNKS OF LAcEs AND

Federal Authorities Refuse to Accept
Offer of $4,000 to Settle Case,
Although Duties Are
Much Less
tBy Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, April H.-Miss
Nellie Grant, daughter of Jesse p.
Grant and granddaughter of former
President Ulysses S. Grant, and her
aunt, Mrs. John E. Mason of San Fran
cisco, have been unable to throw any
light on the plot now being Investigated
by the New York customs officials to
smuggle about 100000 worth of French
gowns and rare laceS into this country.
On the assurance of the two women
they knew nothing of three trunks he'd
at the New York custom house in their
name the trunks were opened and the
valuable shipment was confiscated be-
cause the goods had not been declared
for duty.
NEW YORK, April 17.-An offer to
pay $50, 900 to the United States govern
ment to settle the smuggling cases
which the customs officials are now in
yestigating has been made to Collector
William Loeb, jr., of this part. The
offer was refused. The information is
made public today by Harrison Osborne,
counsel for Mr.. Loeb.
His Pocket Is Limited
Mr.. Osborne said Collector Loeb had
decided that there should be no conf
promise with the smugglers.
Mr.. Osborne added two attorneys,
who declared they did not know who
their clients were, had appeared before
the collector with the offer to COM
promise.
The attorneys stated their services
had been engaged by men who claimed
to represent the men who owned
the property recently seized by the Gus
toms officers. The proposition Included
a proviso that the government should
surrender the seized goods, amounting
in all to about $4,000 worth of French
gowns and laces.
Commenting on the offer, Mr.. Os-
borne said: while the government
would profit by the offer, the collector
and myself decided that under no cir
cumstances should there be compro-
mise with those responsible for Snug
Cling the goods. There is principle
involved All the power of the treas
ury department and the office of the
United States district attorney is being
directed to the arrest and punishment
of suspects"
1t was announced that the goods
would be sold at auction.
Besides using the names of Miss Nell
lie Grant and Mrs. John e. Mason, Mr..
Osborne said the smugglers had ship
ped trunks full of goods to this city
addressed to a woman of Pottstown,
Pa, and another of Minneapolis. These
women are believed to have no knowl-
edge of such use of their names.

curtail the production and shipment of

with the difficulty of securing choice
pieces, Oriental rugs of real merit must
reach the highest prices in the history
of the rug business, as the demand for

Six Wonderful Bible Keys, by
Pastor Russell Of Brooklyn.

By now our readers doubtless feel
well acquainted with Pastor Russell
through his sermons, which we pub

three hundred Of the leading Ameri-
can and Canadian journals
We are advised that many Of our
readers already have the Pastors cele-
brated books in their homes and are
using them effectively. to their de-
light and Intellectual and spiritual
profit. 1t must be so, since there are
in circulation about three millions of
copies of the first volume. "The Divine

them a wide circulation. This brings

to warn all that it is unnecessary to

veniently they will be pleased to sup

Some Still Remember "BiII Arp"
Such will be interested in the
Southern Philosophers" review Of
the first volume of Series l. He wrote
some time before he died.
1T is impossible to read this book
without loving the writer and ponder
ing his wonderful solution of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all our
lives There is hardly a family to be
found that has not lost some loved one
who died outside the church-outside
the plan of salvation, and. if Calvinism
be true, outside of all hope and inside
of eternal torment and despair. We
smother our. feelings and turn away
deny the faith of our fathers, and yet
can it be possible that the good mother
and the wandering child are forever
separated forever md forever?
Il believe it is the rigidity of these
teachings that makes atheists and inf
dels and skeptics-makes Christians
unhappy and brings their gray hairs
down in sorrow to the grave-a lost
child, lost soul!
This wonderful book makes no as
sertions that are not well sustained by
the Scriptures. 1t is built up stone by
stone, and upon every stone is the text,
and it becomes pyramid of Gods love,
and mercy, and wisdom.
There is nothing in the Bible that
the author denies or doubts, but there
are many texts that he throws a flood
of light upon that seem to remove
from them the dark and gloomy mean
ing. I see that editors of leading
journals and many orthodox ministers
Of different denominations have en-
dorsed it and have confessed to this
new and comforting light that has
dawned upon the Interpretation of
Gods book Then let every man read
and ponder and take comfort, for we
are all prisoners of hope This is an
age iof advanced thought. and more
thinking is done than ever before-men
dare to think now. Light-more light
is the watchword."

HE LIKES SUCH SURPRISES

It's an old saying: the best advertise
ment is pleased customer.
1t happens to us continually in this
way: A man buys Devoe for his house
he has painted it once in three years for
dog's-age. and thinks he knows what
he wants-buys 30 gallons, and has 10
left.
He sees right off that 20 Devoe is as
much as 30 of anything else. He likes
that it comes quick; it is surprise;
and he tells of it. The best advertise
ment is pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There isn't
sign that his house needs paint; he don't
paint it. Next year he don't paint it.
This comes slow: it is a surprise; but he
has got used to it. Still the best adver-
tisement is a pleased customer.
