Broomh aIPs Report.

LIVERPOOL, Oct 1S.-Market az the
onening was affected by weakness IN
American cables yesterday and the
pressure on Manitoba spot and values
were 81 lower. Further pressure was
given as result of continued rains in

crop conditions are generally favorable.
Following the opening the market
showed unexpected firmness with
shorts nervous and offerings lighter

was attributed to good buying report
cd for American account. Cargo Of

People 6g1bo Are
Fault Finders
1T IS A HABIT WOMEN ES
PECIALLY SHOULD BE.
WARE OF FORMING.

HAVE you ever met both men anc
women who perpetually found
fault?
They did not do this consciously
perhaps. nor from bad temper, but be-,
tause they had simply drifted into the
habit
And, indeed, it is habit OF the worst
Eind, this way of being overcritical, Of
looking at the bad side of things all
the time. I
With the man 1t usually takes the.
form of faultfnding at home, and it is.
really up to his wife to cure him of it,
before he becomes too much of o.
GROWER.
This may be done by the perfectly
simple expedient of firmly refusing to
stand for it," The woman who meek
ly submits to faultfindings and nag
gings will have to do so all her DAYS.
1t is mighty bad habit for a man
to come home for dinner and notice
everything that goes wrong instead of
being pleased at the agreeable features,
of home
Such man deserves to have none.
The habit of being faultfinding is apt
to show in woman's attitude toward
| AAGA AAA0AAuS. koll6 D6COEl0S HAacLInS III
| her demands upon them and over
critical of their ways, mannerlsms and
mental attitude toward her
She becomes in the end positively
| morbid, and every unanswered letter,
every silence, every Indifferent ex-
preston, caused, perhaps, by a sick
headache, has to be explained away
! by the friends of the critical one until
friendship with her becomes the worst
kind of. a bore
Women who become overcritical are
always seeing the faults in their
/ friends, never their virtues. Is It Won
| derful that after awhile they have
none to love them?
/ The eye that detects a button I'M
fastened or q glove ripped at first
glance is usually slow to see becom-
ing hat or pretty pair of shoes, and
people certainly get tired of being
picked to pieces instead of compli-
/ mented.

interesting Law Case.

On interesting suit to recover fire
insurance money has been instituted
at Fergus Falls, by the Elks lodge OF
that city against DR.. and Mrs. j.
E. Metcalf to recover certain insur-
ance money. DR.. Metcalf owned
the Wicklund restaurant building on
Lincoln avenue west, and the Elks de-
sired to purchase it together with the
adjoining lot for site for their new
hall. During the month of June, they
took an option in the name of HI. E..
Weber, DR.. MetcaIf agreeing to sell
it to them for $4,000 provided they
purchased within sixty days. Before
the sixty day option had expired a
fire occurred in the rear Of the build
ing, which damaged it to some ex-
tent Or. Metcalf had it insured, and
collected 1924 insurance money. When
the Elks were ready to take up the
option and make the purchase, they
demanded that this amount be de-
Quoted from the agreed price, on the
ground that that much value had been
DESTROYED. The demand was refused
and they then made a formal demand
that the building be repaired This be-
| ing also refused, they paid the $4,000
under protest, secured a deed and have
| now brought suit for the recovery Of
the 1924 insurance money. DR.. Met
calf claims that the insurance was q
! personal contract between himself and
| the company and had nothing to dc
with the option 1t is said the point
at issue has never been ruled upon
by the supreme court of this or ans
other state.

SAVES CLAY The
EXPENSE OF TRIAL
COUNTY ATTORNEY JOHNSON IS
GETTING BOUQUETS TODAY
FOR PLACING MURDER CASE IN
NORTH DAKOTA WHERE TT
RlGRTFuLLY BELONGS.

The man who is getting the bou-
quets in Moorhead today is County
Attorney Johnson who was alert
enough to raise the question of juris--
diction in the matter of the alleged
murder OF Sam Ballidge. or Baltz, on
the south bridge last Saturday night.
1t was absolutely determined yester-
day afternoon that the alleged shoot
ing Of Ballidge, by Pete Lou, or Vako-
vii was done on the Fargo end of the
south bridge, at a point which was
west of the bank of the Red river on
the North Dakota side.
Attorney Johnson says the evidence
to show the crime was committed on
the Fargo side of the river was over
whelming and that the case, with the
evidence presented would not stand
the question of jurisdiction in the
Minnesota courts moment, II the
question was raised and it most as
suredly would be.
After the proper showing had been
made the prisoner Vakovil was
moved from the Clay county jail to
the Cass county jail in Fargo and
later the body of his victim was de-
livered to the authorities to be held
subject to instructions Of the coroner.
Attorney Johnson says that in his
opinion the case is absolutely one of
murder in the first degree and he can
not see how the defendant can escape
facing that charge. It Is need
less to say that the authorities OF
Moorhead are very much gratified that
they have been relieved of the re-
sponsibility of an important and cost
ly prosecution, not to mention the obi
UNI. County Commissioners Sullivan
remarked today, The county attorney
has been alive to the interests of the
countq in a distinctively proper manner
and in this one case he earned his
salary two or three times over"

CHOOSING A VOCATION.
Boston Has a Plan With Great Posi-
Utilities for HELPING the Boy.

Cleveland Leader: Boston has an
institution based on a novel but very
practical idea, which seems to be gain
Ing in popularity. 1T is known as the
vocation bureau. For some time it
has been pursuing its work in a quiet
way, and now 1t has become strong
enough to call a national convention
for the purpose Of discussing its aims
and the means to carry them into eff
feet in a wider field. This confer
ence will take place in November.
The vocation bureau Is an organiza.
ton of men and women formed for the
purpose of cooperating with business
men, parents, teachers. young people
and the community as a whole in
stimulating young men and women to
consider seriously what vocations they
are best fitted for, to prepare for life
occupations Systematically and to fol-
low them with intelligent and pro-
eressiye aims. One of the bureaus
most important activities is the gath
ering of the beet available information
about the demands of various occupa
tions and the conditions of success In
them.
The immense possible valte OF this
work is apparent. The average par
ent knows little about rhe require
ments and possibilities Of any voca-
ton. aside from the one lie is engaged
in and some Of those related to Ii. The
boy or girl knows less. How often
does IL happen that man, after hs
has established himself In his life
work, discovers q vocation he had her
fore then known little about for which
his abilities and temperament are bet
ter adanted? II il - Impossible FOR
him to change. there ahides wish him
thereafter feeling of deep sissp-
pointmcnt.
The Boston plan also has nuch
merit from tho economic viewpoint.
Hts successful application would do
much toward eating down the great
waste in effort incidental to the tram
sition from school 10 work and from
job to Job. The vocation bureau
seems to AFFORD q practical means OF
meetings /, resl need.

WHEAT OUTLOOK
ABROAD is GOOD
PROSPECTS FOR AVERAGE CROP
or GRAIN m FIELDS OF
SOUTH AMERICA.

Washington oct. 18.-Reviewing the
condition OF the foreign wheat crops,
the United States department OF agri-
culture in it's monthly crop reporter.
announces the promise of good yields
in the southern hemisphere Although
a deficiency of about 95,000,000 bushels
is reported In Europe, in comparison
with the highest record the crop prom
ises to be the second largest the con-
tinent has produced. The report OF
the agricultural department says:
Now that supplies to be expected
from the European and North Ameri-
can wheat harvests are fairly known,
attention on world markets is concen-
trating with more than usual Interest
on crop conditions in the southern
hemisphere, particularly upon those OF
Australia, Argentina and British In
dia, whose winter and spring harvests
are to Europe important sources Nof
supply ait a season of the year when
surplus stocks in exporting nations OF
the northern hemisphere are likely to
be depleted. Reports indicate the ag-
ricultural situation in each of the three
countries, with one possible exception,
of good promise.
Australian wheat is growing on
probably increased area, and the pres
ent outlook is for a full yield. In Ar
gentina prolonged drought in the north
ern part of the grain belt has done an
understandable damage, but through
out the central and southern parts
vegetation is reported f1ourishing. LII
British India seeding is being. erected
under assuring conditions. Excepting
possibly Argentina, present appear
ances in the principal producing coun-
tries of the southern hemisphere in
spire hope for, repetition of the ex-
cellent results of last season.
THE just completed European wheat
harvest has given smaller cumulative
results than last year. and, owing to
exceptionally wet harvest weather in
many of the states an unusual pro-
portion of the grain lis of inferior quail
ity. Last year the total yield of Eu-
rope, according to the best available
estimates was 1870 100000 bushels and
constituted a record exceeding the
highest previous yield (19O6) by 16O.-
100000 bushels. This season, notwith-
standing bounteous harvests in the
Danubian and Balkan states, the total
European crop, principally because OF
disastrous results in France and de-
creased production in Russia, has fall
len SD000,000 to 100, 900, 900 bushels
short of last year.
"Oncial returns from seven states,
which in 1909 produced 81 per cent OF
the wheat crop Of Europe, compared
with 1909, follow:

Modern public 4iehwaymen.

Judge: The people OF the city are
not the only ones who pay money for
the building and Improvement of
streets and highways that never is
spent on the roadways. And this con-
dition in the country gave John VIM
tiers a chance to say one OF his occa
sional good things. 1t was town
meeting. The people of his village
could not understand how the money
appropriated for roads had vanished
with such negative results, and some
of them attended this meeting Of the
selectrnen 70 discuss the matter
A stretch OF road along Winters
property was in VIGOROUSLY bad con-
dition, although he declared he had
paid literally to have it put in good
order. There was general interest
when he rose to make his statement
before the meeting.
"Id just like to say one thing he
drawled, regardless of the fact that he
had interrupted an indignant neigh

whatsoever. but I'd just like to ask this

faces of the 'highwaymen' and later
in the Improvement of the before
