One of the claims made for the new

strongly upon the luxuries, thus MAX
ing the rich who ,consume them, pay
more for them, while at the same time
ii greatly reduced the rates on the nee
essaries, the things that the great mid
die class use, thereby reducing the
prices upon them.

whether this was true or not. 1t listed

Avenge Drowning of Miss Curveau.

TACOMA, July 31.-An entirely new
construction was placed by the police
on what has been supposed to have
been the accidental drowning of Miss
Margaret Curveau while rowing with
John Flynn Sunday afternoon, by the
discovery today that her undercloth-
ing was badly torn. Mrs. Louis Cur
veau, the girls mother, declares the
garments did not have a rent in them
Sunday morning.
The Curveau family now firmly be-
lieve that young Flynn murdered the
girl, and probably the most dramatic
incident that ever happened at Ia
coma funeral took place over the re-
mains of Miss Curveau. Louis Curveau,
the girls father, and E. Curveau, her
brother. shook hands over the casket
that held her body and together. In
voices broken with grief. solemnly
vowed vengeance against the man
who, they believe, murdered the girl.

when Evelyn the fair, the demure, the

nearly 3,250,ooO.06o pusnels of corn
Those familiar with these reports will
tell you that the government estimate
is always under rather than over the
figures. The greatest yield of corn
known in this country was in 1905,
when the crop was less than 100000
900 bushels
This is the way the government
makes it's deductions: The average
price of corn last year was a little
more than so cents bushel Corn for
December delivery is now selling at
IS cents bushel. Figuring the value
of the present crop, this price would
make it's value total the vast sum Of
more than $4,000, 100000 Put in an
other way, corn alone will make the
American farmer not far from $780,
100000 richer this year than he was
last year. When this estimate was
shown to an expert broker in New
York city he remarked: Great heav-
ems! There isn't enough loose money
in the world to corner that crop"
Wealth in Wheat.
All things considered, the estimate
on the wheat crop is more interesting
than that on corn Winter wheat is
short owing to the drought of last fall
and throughout the winter and to
blight in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and
Michigan as a result of heavy rains
during the blooming period. Besides,
the acreage is largely short of that
harvested last fall Irregular wheat
conditions exist in the southwest,
where nearly % per cent of the winter
wheat crop is raised. The winter
wheat crop is made, and more than
two thirds has been cut. Spring wheat
in the northwest has the best promise
in years With no damage to present
prospects the increased acreage and
heavy stand can yield more wheat than
in any recent year and more than suf-
ficient to offset the decrease in winter
wheat
The entire wheat crop of the year.
according to the government estimate,
will be at least 664,6O2, 900 bushels, and
experts in values predict that it is not
likely to fall below s1.1O a bushel for
a long time to come This means that
nearly $SO0,000,0O0 worth of wheat
will soon be on the way to the eleva-
tors Last years harvest was $780,
600, 900 On this basis the American
farmer will have $1e9, 100000 more to
spend from the wheat source than he
had the year before.
Following corn and wheat come the
smaller grains-oats, rye and barley.
In these the soil has also produced
bountifully The estimates on the
crops for this year are 1852, 100000
bushels as against zoos, 763, 900 BUSH
els in 1908 The estimate on oats is
1000 600, 900 bushels, on rye 31,500,000
bushels, on barley 100000 bushels.
Government experts figure that the
American farmer will get over $4,000
600 more for his crop of oats this year
than he did last. Last years crop
brought 1921, 100000. Only about
1900, 900 bushels of oats are exported.

RALPH HAMLIN
NEW PRESIDENT
POPULAR YOUNG DEALER IS
PUSHED UP A NOTCH
Leon T. Shelter Newly Elected Vice
President and w. x. CoWan
Will Hold Purse
Strings

Ralph G. Hamlin is the newly elected
president of the Automobile Dealers
Association of Southern California. The
selection of Mr.. Hamlin occurred at the
regular annual meeting of the associa-
ton last Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Hamlin is one of the best known,
and, incidentally, one of the best liked,
men in the entire local automobile field.
He is young man who has made a
business of making a success of his
business, and, as the local agent of the
Franklin car, has pushed himself to
the foreground by dint of strong quail
ties of mind and heart, which have fin
ally resulted in his selection TO the
highest position in the gift of the as
sociation of which he has always been
an active member. He succeeds w. E.
Bush, the local agent for the Pierce
Arrow ear. who has done wonders, with
the aid of his associates, in bringing
the association to the highest standard
in it's history during his occupancy of
office.
Leon T. Shelter, also an active mem
Der of the association, was selected 3
vice president; while w. K. Cowaa,
the Rambler representative, succeeds
- a
urer.
The really hard and oftentmes most
thankless work of the association goes
to j. S. COnwell, as secretary who was
appointed TO temporarily fill that posi-
ton at the time of resignat ton Of II. o.
Harrison.
Mr.. Conweu doubtless loses more
sleep in thinking out new subjects for
the good of the order than any other
member, is an enthusiast wherever he
is put, and his administration of the
routine details of the organization un-
doubtedly will result in many eulogies
being passed upon him before the ex-
piration of his term.
These officers, together with three
other members of the board Of direc-
tors viz w. E. Bush, Earle c. An
thony and Don Lee, will direct the
affairs of the association during its first
years as a regularly incorporated body
