SCIE1lN TEIST -

tell US that when standing, a mans heart beats eighty-one times
a minute; but when the man is seated, the same heart records
only seveny-one beats to the minute. We know a young man in
Three Springs who was seated on a sofa with a young lady a few
nights since. and when the door opened and her father unexpect-
edy came into thu, room, the young mans heart, so he says-and
not Withstanding the fact, too, that he was not standing-fopped
right up into his mouth and beat so rapidly that it churned his
palate off.
To you young man, no matter where you live, who have passed
through the sofa days and whose heart is beating normal again,
we extend a cordial invitation to you and your wife, to visit our
Store and see the wonderful display of HousefurnShings that we
have collected,
We extend the same invitation to all! We have pleased 9TH

Englishman Says
SO Is Good Wage

Englishmen are exceedingly amused
over the controversy stirred up by the
recent decision of a United States Gov
ernment official to the effect that $25
week Is not enough for any man to sup
port a family on. according to E. G.
Grantland, a retired manufacturer of
Liverpool, England. who is visiting
Washington.
THE contention Is not worthy Of Az
gument,' deCldI ed Nil. Lra.i.I..III ,Oudy.
"Such a stipend Is ample and only the
most extravagant need more than that.
as living wage. Any one can spend
money but there Is a vast difference
between spending and wasting and 1t
is the inclination of the average Ameri-
can to waste money instead of spend
ing it. =,
"In England the average workingman
does not get better than 50 a week.
Thirty shillings a week Is considered
excellent pay for ordinary labor. The
Englishman is much more thrifty than
the average American. Most English
men Of family own their homes and
have money in the bank. They do this
on much less than the average laborer
is paid in the United States. 1t Is true.
of course that most members of the
family help the head of the house, and
boys and girls as soon as they become
old enough go to work. In America, I

Business Dull and Prices Loquer in Wall Street
STOCK PRICES FALL OFF IN A DULL
MARKET OF SMALL BUY
ING POWER.

NEW YORK. Aug. 80.-The market to-
day presents an anti-holiday appear
ance, and is generally dull, and heavy.
Buying power Is limited and hstless,
while evening-up sales are going on for
the approaching period Of rest. AS a
consequence, prices are weak and the
list is going Off slowly. as 1t did most
of the time yesterday. The money
situation is also giving some anxiety,
as 1t Is expected that the present rate Of
31a per cent on call money will be ad-
vanced to 4 per cent next week. While
there is not much stringency in the mat
ter of money, the lines are tightening
somewhat, and traders, 50 long accus-
toned to low rates, feel the change
more keenly than they would a similar
rate at other times.
Several stocks today were posted in
the ex-dividend class, and the marking
off of the dividend did not help the
situation. Shelters was marked down
at the opening 1b share, starting at
Sc and falling away in the subsequent
trading to S55s. Canadian Pacific, which
has been through SO many variations
of late. was marked down from 27Sk to
275 at the opening and lost a fraction
later. National Lead. a comparatively
inactive stock, lost half point on the
The Washington times., 1912-08-30

dividend and half a point in the morn
ing's trading. Norfolk and Western was,
at noon, nearly two points below last
nights closing. Steel lost point on the
dividend and half a point later.
Reading, Union Pacific, and other rails
ran in narrow range, but were frac-
tionally lower. Louisville and Nashville
is two points below last nights closing
and was, during the morning, very
weak. Coppers, which have again and
again demonstrated their strength in the
past few days, were fractionally off.
Profit taking took all the starch out
Of the Tobacco shares, which were not
ably weak at the opening and in the
early trading, but had rally toward
noon. American Tobacco was at one
time 2h points below yesterdays close.
Lorelei lost a point in the opening and
gained a fraction. Liggett q Meyer
lost four points at the opening and
gained a point in the subsequent trad
ing.
In all this spotty condition Of the mar
ket 1t remains dull with transactions at
low ebb. Market news for the most
part was again of an optimistic nature,
and the slump is attributed chiefly to
money, politics, and the approaching
holiday.
Prices remained unchanged during the
first hour of the afternoon with trans
actions practically negligible. The
market had the appearance of marking
time to the end Of the session.

HAVE YOU SECT CORN?

1t is necessary that you test your
seed corn to ..now whether or o you
have seed corn. Seed corn and just
common corn are two different and
distinct commodities this year.
Ordinarily all corn is seed corn, but
last fall something happened to the
crop that rendeoed a great big per
cent of it unfit for seed. Unless the
farmers are very cautious about what
kind of corn they plant this coming
corn crop is going to be another short
one, an it will not be for want of
moisture, hail or floods or other causes
over which you have no control, but
due to the stand you have and which
you can control by planting seed that
grows. Not long since when in Sioux
City we went to a seed house and pric-
ed sound seed corn. The dealer after
telling about the general scarcity and
the merits of that on exhibition ventur
ed to say that it was worth 81. per
bushel. Well, nothing happened. We
just went out knowing that we could
buy better at home. The poorest corr
has some seed ear in it, and most OF
it will grow to a large per cent.
Sc en- dollars a bushel is nearly 10
cents for every ear. Most farmer time
/ is not so precious but that they can
spare the lime and test each ear in
d yidually, retaining those that grow
and disregarding those that do not.
| This is not a very slow and tedious
job and a very profitable one. If you
are not going to make such a test your
self hire someone to do it for you
rather than plant faulty seed. You
cannot afford 1t and the community
will suffer by it.
