cents lower than last year for wheat

the part Of the farmers to sell, il is
believed that a small proportion Of
the crop viii be sold at the present.
It has been estimated that scarce

sold so far this year, while last

The grain contracts for this year.

cisive in stipulating, the terms and
character Of grain to be sold and
delivered.
Although in 1911 the contracts
we're characterized as buyer and
sellers contracts. few grain pur-
chasers compelled their patrons to
sign. This resulted in considerable
litigation in this locality and loss to-
some local grain firms. This feature
is one Of the pronounced factors in
the 1912 grain contracts; the seller,
the buyer and the buyers agents
signing the agreement.
The bidding for the crop promises
to be keen. both from the price and
quality standpoint. There viii be
several new firms in the Lewiston
and prairie field this year.

ornate There is pretty and service able black charmeuse at the same store which will be very popular. The straight skirt is accordeon- pleated and full broad effect is obtained in the bodice by the draping. Orange-colored satin makes broad girdle Another pretty model is old-blue velvet. A pointed yoke is made of thin white lace and bright cerise satin is introduced in little collar which surrounds it. The back of the blouse and the skirt have long lines de- veloped in tailor braid and pointed panel in the skirt is outlined at either side with the braid-buttons down one side and corresponding row of button holes down the other. These gowns are not reproduced today in MT. Wells il- lustration, though two more from the same shop are accurately displayed.
 The draped gown is light grey char mouse. The high collar and yoke are a fine quality of white lace. and down the center are sewn eight tiny fiat bows of the satin. The bodice is quite plain and slightly full, with narrow revers and a side opening with big buttons. These descend past the girdle and it's soft bow. halfway down the length of the skirt, which on one side of the front is a plain tunic, on the other is caught up in be- coming drapery to show the fiounce of accordeon pieatjng which makes pretty flare around the feet.
 One of those serviceable frocks that can be worn any time and almost any place is a black and white velvet corduroy whose candy stripe gives it the look of deep gray. Straight down the front is a flat panel on which the fish-scale but tons make the only garniture. little collar of heavy lace lies softly about the neck where a bow of Roman silk gives a touch of color at the throat. The girdle is made of this same gorgeously colored silk and falls in a flat sash on the side front.

Multi -Colored Coats

The coats we found in the same shop are multi colored and of many fabrics. There is the velvet coat, the broadcloth coat and victoria cloth in black, with many types of trimming. The Johnny coat rather short and of striking color motives, black and white stripes and blue and gray and browns, MT. Phillips says are much admired, but, as yet rarely pur- chased by the Birmingham woman who seems to prefer the coat covering the entire length of her gown.
 A straight. long coat of good and sim pie lines appears in the cut. It is fash toned of light champagne color-wool chinchilla, as heavy and soft and warm as it Is light in weight, and as good style as one can find in these new fas- cinating greatcoats. The big round but

A Sheraton desk of exquisite grace and a mirror of wonderfully old period, set in mahogany and bordered in garlands of gold, complete the pictured review of pretty things to be found at Biggs', but there are myriads of others. A quaint bit of furniture called the Tow boy" familiar to our grandparents, was purchased the other day to go Into one of the most artistic homes on the Highlands; above it will be placed a mirror for use as dressing table. There is a dear little sewing table, the sort in use when great-grandmother, lacking machine, used her nimble liz tie fingers for sewing fine seam there are nests of tea tables, five or six in number and graduating in size. and there are scores of other clever and beautiful things.

 Scattering pennies. nickeis, dimes and quarters from a veranda of the Johns Hopkins hospital, Diamond" Jim Brady brought joy to scores of youngsters who know his fondness for children and rally in force whenever the capitalist comes to town
 Unheralded, MT. Brady came to Balti- more early Thursday, accompanied only by his Japanese valet. Mr. Brady was cure for internal troubles, which were treated by Dr. Hugh Young on the cap italist's last visit here in June. MT. Brady came to Baltimore from New York, where he went several weeks ago after a week in Atlantic City. This evening he was dis charged as cured and left for New York city
 Mir. Brady, with Drs. Plagmeier, Nor ton, Young and Geraghty, all of whom arc his friends as we'll as medical advis- CTS, sat this afternoon on the spacious Veranda In front or ward C or the nos pital, and greeted his largesse. The young sters recognized MT. Brady, their bene- factor of a few months ago. At that time he gained the admiration of the 'lxiddies' by distributing circus tickets and great quantity of peanuts.
 Gee" said the first to spy their hero, "the man with the moneys back here again, an he's still got money, I bet"
 Almost as much as a hundred dollars" came the retort from a companion, but I bet he ain't got no circus tickets"
 Before the boys were within 20 feet of MT. Brady there came a shower of coins. In the scramble which followed were at least three typical Fauntleroys, with curls and short white socks
 In a few minutes he was besieged with requests for pennies, and at length one of the youngsters ventured to ask MT. Brady where he had been since he left the hos pitai. MT. Brady then gathered his little friends about him and told them all about his trip to Atlantic City and jolsingly promised them that he would take them ali on an outing next year. Then he showered another handful of coins among them, and, with promise to see them again, returned to his room in Ward c.
