middle Of next February.
THE apple crop was by no means
what we world like to have seen it."
said Mr.. Wright in speaking of the
fiuit crops and harvest in Connecti-
cut, "but the peach crop was all right
and there was goodly harvest of
pears, some OF which were being pick
ed as ! was leaving a few days ago.
THE tobacco crop of the Connecticut
valley was splendid. At first it was
thought there would be no tobacco
crop at all, this being one of the driest
seasons for years, but the rains came
just at the right time, and when they
were most needed with the result that
we are having a mighty fine tobacco
crop.
What about business conditions in
the east? Well, they are peculiar

factories were running night and day.

tact just the same.
II was much pleased to get home
again, and must say. was astonished
at the excellent condition I found
things here, for I had heard just the
reverse. The Red river valley looks

BroomhalI's Report.

Liverpool, Aug. I9.-The wheat mar
ket opened under some pressure and
values were u to % lower The steady
American cables were offset by the
weakness in Winnipeg and less conti-
mental inquiry. Following the opening
the market further declined a to x

induced by the increasing Danubian
offers, lack of outside support and
some continental reselling. Worlds
shipments for the week are expected
to be heavier than week ago with large.
increase on passage to the continent.
There are more favorable reports being
received from Argentine and new Eng

At midday the market was easy "a to

shipments were larger than fOrecasted

forward shipment. This led to some

THE SOLDIERS Wall.

The following poem was written by
one of the members of the N. ID. Ma
tional Guard while in camp at Sparta.
Wis
In the wilds of bleak Wisconsin. in a
wilderness of sand,
With the sickly oaks and underbrush
about on every hand.
There's a lost battalion stranded
there to vegetate and rot,
The outside world forgotten and by
the world forgot
Around us forest fires rage, the air
is parched and dry
A blood red sun glares daily from a
dismal smoky sky
Mosquitoes, flies and rattlesnakes
help weave charming spell,
If we had barrel of brimstones, we
could start first class hill.
II seems an age since we left home, to
seek this goddess land,
A hundred miles of dusty roads, and
a hundred more of sand
Our blistered feet and worn out shoes,
the story meekly tells.
We hiked two weeks to get here, and
into Hades fell.
The flies all carry corkscrews, the
mosquitoes all wear spurs,
The rocks are full of copperheads and
the sand is full of burrs,
The grass is full of rattlesnakes, the
air is full of fleas,
And the damned incinerator's lend
their fragrance to the breeze.
The gentle breezes murmur, as they
blow and blow. and blow,
Then sand goes flying through the air
like. Minnesota snow,
1t grinds itself to powder and Sits
about like flour,
And would keep your rags in color
If you washed them every hour.
The hospital corps is on the ground
with pills and knives and splint.
They bury men at midnight to keep
them out Of print,
They practice on the new recruits
and lay them safe away.
And when the cruel war is DER they'll
divvy up their pay.
Farewell to North Dakota, goodbye to
old Fargo,
Wen never see our home again our
steps are getting slow,
So when your children pass this land
where heroes fought and bled,
You find slender column raised to
the unknown dead.
Too far gone to sign.

Women Who Are
Invited Often
For Week Ends
THEY DO NOT BELONG TO THE
SELFISH sIsTERHooD AND
KNOW HOW TO MAKE
THEIR COMPANY
DESIRED.
Photo by American Press Association.

WHY is it that some women are in
vited out so much during the
hummer time that they hardly have
one week end at home?
1t is because they know the secret of
entertaining others. No selfish woman
is ever in great demand. You don't
make hit with your hostess by look
ing out for your own pleasure and
comfort all the time by always appro-
priating the softest cushion and the
most shady corner.
The women most In demand In sum-
mer cottages are those who know
how to perform little services for the
hostess, who understand the art of
effacing themselves occasionally and
not talking all the time The girl who
offers to stay home with book when
she sees the carriage win be crowded
is sure to receive the appreciation of
the hostess, who will make a mental
note of her willingness to oblige and
sgesolve to invite her again.
Instead OF telling so many jokes of
Pier own the clever girl will laugh at
! those of her hostess and say some of
the nice little things to the latter
which we all think, but most of US are
too lazy to say. She will make herself
pseful around the house and will be
careful not to make extra trouble for
:he servants
She Will not be late for meals nor
have them brought to her room, and
she win not give dresses to be pressed
sc, thus disturbing the order of the
kitchen
Above all, no woman who ever wants
to be invited again will forget to write
promptly her bread and butter note
ester she reaches home While the
e@tquette book may say you have ten
Aays to do it In, the average hostess
pRefers to hear from you the minute

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Lattar.

Chicago. Aug. 1s.-Wheat: The
market opened X to Y lower and
ruled dull all day General duhness
in trade and lack Of export demand
caused some selling by tired holders.
Cash sales since yesterday are report
ed at over 100000 bushels, most of
which, however, was not for export.
st, Louis wires cash wheat cent low
er with fair demand. Kansas City
reports cash market weak. Prices are
apt to sag lower until the demand
becomes large enough to relieve the
pressure of present supplies.
