Crops and the Stock Market
Ienry Clews in his Saturday review

Crops and the stock Market
Henry Clews in his Saturday review
says in part:
I'VE are now entering what is usually
the dull season in the stock market ow-
ing to the vacation period. and a DISPOSE
ton to await more definite prospects con-
corning the growing crops. The situa-
ton of the latter is more favorable than
has been generally represented. Warm
weather and beneficial rains during the
past week have materially benefited
both wheat and corn. The shrinkage in
spring wheat, estimated at about $4,000,
900 bushels, was, of course, an unpleas-
ant factor. Thanks to the larger acre
age of winter wheat and generally fair
condition this loss may be partly re-
covered. Something of vastly more i'm
portance is the prospect for corn, which
is very encouraging, the outlook being
for record-breaking crop of 3,2o0ooo,-
COO bushels or over. Since the money
value of the corn crop is between two
or three times that of wheat, the i'm
portance Of big yield of corn can easily
be understood. Last year our corn crop
of 2272, 100000 bushels was valued at
s., 653 100000. Our wheat crop Of 7S7,0o0,oO0
bushels was valued at $730,O00,000. while
our cotton crop of a little more than TO-
600 900 bales was valued at $S5o,00O,000; an
unusually >high figure. 1t will thus be
seen that corn is worth more than the
other two crops combined, and twice as
of
corn crop therefore. such as is now
promised, affords most important basis
of encouragement. 1t should cheaper
meat products, and give the railroads
large freight traffic. But the crop has
still several weeks to run, and is al
ways exposedto danger from early frost.
THE outlook for the stock market is
still somewhat confused. Securities dur
ing the last six months have undergone
a tremendous shrinkage. discounting in
advance the depression in trade and in
drstry which is now foreseen The stock
exchange always discounts such condi-
lions in advance, and then starts out to
Anticipate business improvement while
business is still passing through the
midst or depression. One reason Ior
such an anomaly is that money at one
time required for legitimate business OPP
erations subsequently finds more profit
able employment in cheap securities. For
investors the present is unquestionably
an attractive opportunity, because many
sound dividend payers are selling below
intrinsic values considering monetary
conditions. But caution must still be
used in all speculative operations.
Through elements of panic may be en-
tirely lacking, confidence has received
hard blows, and the weak spots have not
yet been entirely eliminated. There Is
bear party also of considerable influ-
ence which might also prove an element
of strength in event of forced recovery.
A conservative policy, therefore, is still
the only one to be followed, and the
prudent operator will be satisfied for the
time being with moderate profits"

I warded his reinstatement to the
president with the request that he
sign 1t and place John Brinslee back
in his old position.
Would he sign 1t? Yes, when John
Brinslee could give him back the
| vanished years of his life with the
fulfilment of his youthful dreams;
when he could repay him even in
part for the loneliness and misery of
twenty years. Then and not till then
would he sign it.
He threw the paper on his desk,
and a little white box hitherto un-
noticed brushed his hand. Mechani-
caly he opened it and shook from its
satin bed a spray of white lilac. He
fell heavily into chair and his head
| sank forward on his outstretched
| hands. He remembered his promise
and she had remembered it, too, but
surely no human beating heart that
had suffered as he had for twenty
years could be expected to relinquish
| this cherished dream of revenge for
buried romance. And still the lit
tie spray of fragrance pleaded silent
ly for its own and finally won. With
trembling hands and eyes that saw
not, Edward Brewster signed his
name to John Brinslee's reinstate-
ment
The shadows of twilight quietly
| fell in John Brinslee's Office; the
room was deserted save for the bowed
figure sitting silently at his desk. 1t
| was not the attitude of triumphant
man, rather of one who had failed.
And yet, in his hand he held his rein
statement, besides the knowledge
that he had bested Edward Brewster
| in battle of wits.
When Brinslee had felt the web OF
his enemies drawing closer around
him wild plan had flashed into his
whirling brain. He knew the ro-
nance of the white lilac, and one day
message had gone from his Office to
his old home in Lindenlea: Send me
spray of lilac from the white bush
by the fountain"
The flower had arrived and been
sent on it's silent mission to Edward
Brewster, and the reinstatement
signed by the great flnancier had
come back almost Immediately, and
yet John Brinslee felt himself crushed
and humiliated by the deception he
had practiced.
As If acting on a sudden impulse
he arose from his desk and tearing
the paper before him into pieces
threw it on the glowing flames. Then
he squared his shoulders as one who
accepts a heavy burden, and passed

People can live in temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, By
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts,
treated with little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount of butter, and one
cup of wellmade Postum.
By this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car.
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested Is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food.
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort Of the user.

HISTORIC TEXAS POST.
Where the Experiment Was Made
With CameIs For Crossing Desert.


The destruction by fire of Camp
Verde on the morning of March 26 re-
moved from Southwestern Texas a
landmark of more than passing inter-
est to many people, not only In this
section. but in various parts of the
United States.
The old house, located on Verde
Creek, eight miles from Centre Point
and thirteen from Kerrville, was the
last remaining building of Camp
Verde military post. 1t was built In
1857 and was originally the officers
quarters of the garrison. Construct
ed of concrete, with walls two feet
thick, and all the finishing lumber
freighted by OK wagon from Indian
ola, the nearest shipping port at that
time, the building cost the Govern
ment $14,000.
Camp Verde post was established
as a station from which experiments
could be made in using camels to
cross the desert to California. In
1857 a consignment of forty camels
was brought from Asia Minor and
Egypt on the United States steamer
Supply to the Texas coast and event.
ually to Camp Verde. Twelve Amer
ican camel drivers accompanied them
and a caravan master. To the latter
the Government had guaranteed a
salary of 800 month for the re-
mainder of his life, and he was still
drawing 1t up to few years ago and
may be even now.
A large caravansary was built for
the accommodation of the camels and
we'll dug and fitted up with sweep
for drawing water after the ancient
Egyptian fashion. Traces of both the
corral and we'll are still in evidence.
The experiment, however, proved i'm
practical, and while the camels were
kept there eleven years, no use was
made of them, and in 1868 they were
sold and sent to Mexico and Califor-
mia.
Many United States prisoners of
war were kept at Camp Verde by the
Confederates until their exchange
could be effected During its occu-
patton by Federal troops many distin-
guished visitors had been entertained
there, General Robert e. Lee and Jos.
e. Johnston as Lieutenant-Colonel,
being among these. Following the
war the post was again occupied by
United States troops until 1870, when
it was formally evacuated. Later a
company of State Rangers were sta
toned there, but eventually 1t was
abandoned altogether and became a
stopping place for any wayfarer who
cared to seek shelter in passing by.
The hospital, barracks. stables and
other buildings, by pillages and fire,
were gradually destroyed and obliter-
ated.
In 1875 Camp Verde became the
property of Judge John A. Bonnell, OF
Ohio, in the possession of whose fam
lily It has since remained.
i The walls withstood the fierce on
slaught.of flame and rise above the
ruins, but old Camp Verde is no more
