GRAIN And PRODUCE MARKET

Cash Demand for wheat Less Active

Ruling Factor.

OMAHA, oct. IA, 1911.
The feeling on the buying side of wheat
mas greatly improved because mills ana
elevator concerns have come into the
market for good round lots this week
| Even without positive damage In Ar
/ gentlnay the mention Of frost in three
cables Is made a Dull feature, and north
west conditions are deplorable, and the
weather is still rainy and foggy in that
quarter. The market looks good TO buy
on after any temporary decline.
II looks like the people who are
friendly to the buying side OF corn are
waiting to learn something different as
70 the quality Of the new crop and the
chances for marketing freely the balance
OF the month. The cash situation con-
tinues strong and renewal of rainy
weather may start a fresh buying force
today and the market showed an easier
tone. The volume OF cash sales will be
the ruling factor. Todays cash prices
The corn market again failed to respond
to the bullish features, new buying force
Is needed and scattered liquidation eased
the market. Cash prices ranged hgIAc

Saving The Sunshine

Most true conservatiOnists will agree
with the Secretary Of the interior in his
condemnation Of those loud takers who
spend their energies in discussing the
wickedness Of waste without at the same
time being willing to assist in any prac-
tlcable plan to stop the evils they so
greatly deplore. We suspect, however,
that few, even OF those good citizens
who believe in the wisest use of natural
resources and who are sincerely eager to
safeguard the public good both now and
hereafter, realize how easy it is to ne
elect opportunities for conservation
which lie at our door, The coal and
forests in Alaska are of vast Importance,
but the discharge Of our duty with re.
gard to them will not occupy much of
our time. A nearer need is to see that
we make the best use Of natural resources
In our own back yards How about
making two blades of grass grow where
one grew before',? Why isn't that Just
as important as keeping the coal or saw
ing the streams or doing any of the
thousand and one things that we indi-
vidualfy can only talk about? Our tru
est conservationists are those gardeners
and farmers who catch the sunshine and
NbSDtebN VIC am anu olllNb lnNblllHtDllN
to keep pace in production with the in
crease of the agricultural population
The need of conservation OF food sup
plying resources is obvious. There are
more people in America every year and
every year the soil if unrepIenished is
impoverished. The area of rich land de-
creases and the cost of living rises.
Conservation of the potential power of
sun and soil is the only reasonable So
luton of the problem of nation-feeding
and just here is our opportunity. What
is for the nations good is also for our
individual profit. The wise use Of the
soil means money in our pockets.
The very greatest product OF land is
derived from intensive gardening"
Through generations OF intelligent selec-
tion and breeding thoroughbred seeds
have been developed whose yield far
surpasses in quality and quantity that
OF the ordinary strains. You can be a
true conservationist if you have sue
cessful garden. Be, sure however, to
start right by planting thoroughbred
seeds. These can be bought Of seedmen
having sufficient capital and experience
to know what they are about and a
reputation to maintain.

A PURITAN SEATTLE

The forthcoming city campaign
in Seattle promises to develop
some bitterness. From the pres
ent outlook, an effort will be
made to enforce the Blue Laws
on Sunday. Not satisfied with
having made a closed town, so
far as saloons are concerned, the
church forces are now after the
theatres and all other forms of
Sunday amusements. A big
howl will go up from the base
ball fans, for a large part of the
population cannot go on any
day but Sunday. Mayor billing
has already stated that he will
not be a candidate to succeed
himself. State Tax Commits
sioner Parish will be candidate
for the office. His resignation
from the state board is expected
daily. Rumor has it that NJ. j.
Carrigan of Seattle will replace
him.

beautifully planned, " said young
Mrs. Westerleigh to the guests,
"and Frank doesn't expect a

day. He will get home from the
office at about seven o'clock.
Then he always goes upstairs to
take off his coat and put on his
smoking-iacket for the evening.
When he is upstairs l will call out
suddenly, oh, Frank, the gas is
eseaping!' Then he will rush
down here, unsuspecting, to find
the crowd of friends waiting for
him"
1t went off exactly as planned.
Westerleigh came home at the
regular hour and went direct up
stairs. The guests held their
breaths while Mrs. Westerleigh
called out, excitedly:--
ooh, Frank, come down quick
The gas is escaping in the par
lour."
Every light had been turned
out, and the parlour wasin total
darkness.
There was a rapid rush Of feet
down the stairway, then a voice
said, Il don't smell any gas"

DON'T KNOCK

All the world knocks a knocker.
This increases the din of the an
vii chorus. Don't even knock a
knocker; don't listen to him.
Where there is no ear, there no
sound is. The knocker will not
knock long where no appreciation
is shown. Knock not, less ye be
knocked. We can find something
to knock in everyone, and every
one can find something to knock
in us. Be charitable to others
and you will show the truest
character toward yourself.
Knocking is the sign OF envy.
