Life Mission of Wrappers

In some localities growers have
found it profitable to wrap certain
kinds of their fruits before packing.
Suitable paper of light grade is usen
for this purpose, and If the stock is
"fancy," each wrapper has printed on
it 10 fancy label bearing the name of
the brand, where and w whom grown.
The cost Of these wrappers is very
slight, and they not only serve as a
means OF advertising fancy produce,
but they improve the appearance of
the whole package.
Further than this, the use OF wrap
pers has tendency to prolong the
keeping qualities Of the fruit. One
or more peaches or apples in a pack
aye may begin TO rot. This condition
causes liberation OF moisture that,
unless checked. will spread and cause
decay To develop in other specimens.
When each fruit is wrapped the paper
abs0rbs certain amonnt of this
moisture, thus checking for a time
the spread of decay. Wrappers are
also an aid in keeping fruit firm and
snug in the package.

KEPT WEDDING
SECRET A YEAR

st. Paul, July S0.-A marriage that
has been kept secret even from the
parents OF the bride and bridegroom
for more than a year came to light
yesterday when Miss Dollie Brandt left
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. e
Brandt, sos Iglehart avenue, to take
up life as Mrs. William FL. Taber, 675

Wis, and were married by County
Judge Otto w. August, in the presence
of only two witnesses. The parents al
no time. they say, have made objection
to the marriage. Mrs. Taber has beer
living with her parents and her hus-
band with his mother, at SIS st. An

broke the news to their families, and
went to housekeeping.

Duluth Cash Close.
Duluth Flax.
July Sept


Chicago, July 3O.-Wheat: The firm
ness in the Liverpool market was in
sympathy with our higher closing last
night; also the advance in Paris, due
TO covering by shorts on light nearby
supplies and fears of small deliveries.
The market ruled rather weak during
the greater part Of the session, owing
to more favorable news from the
northwest. Reports of black rust were
conspicuous by their absence, and the
weather In the northwest is clear and
cool. There was a moderate rally
from the low point on profit taking,
but the undertone of the market was
not very strong. With the movement
OF winter wheat so large, and the
harvest Of spring wheat SO near at
hand, we are inclined to think prices
Hhe market may have rallies from time
10 time on reports on takings of cash
wheat for export. This country has a
large surplus to sell and now is the
on we viii have to compete with Rus
wia and other countries.
Corn: The corn market during the
greater part OF the session ruled weak
Pm reports OF scattered rains through
Kansas and Oklahoma where needed.
Longs were free sellers but at the de-
cline there was more or less profit
taking by shorts which caused a rally,
all OF which did not hold and the un-
dertone Of the market is one Of weak
ness. The immediate course of the
market Will be governed by the amount
Of precipitation in the southwest. If
the drouth is effectualIy broken we
look for prices to drag lower.
Oats: There was only a moderate
trade In oats today and the market,
after ruling frm early on covering by
shorts on reported better eastern de-
mand, later eased off on profit taking,
The country movement is increasing
and receipts are expected to run very
large next month. With Increases
supplies, we are inclined to think
