HERE is REALLY GOOD IDEA
Fire Insurance Would Be an Easy Mat
ter if It Could Be Conducted
That Way.

Senator Williams, at dinner at
Yazoo said in condemnation of moot
ed tariff change:
They who advocate this change
know just as much about the tar
itf as the old lady knew about fire in
surance.
This old lady visited an insurance
Office and insured her barn for $500.
The policy was drawn up signed, seal
ed and handed over TO her, and she
put II in her cabba and started out
But hold on. ma am, said the
agent. I must ask you please. for
the first years premium.
THE first years premium said
she. And how much will that be-
There 1t is, ma'am, written on
the policy. said the agent. A small
matter of $24'
Oh, said the old lady, I'm in a
hurry this morning. You just let the
premiums stand and deduct them when
the barn burns down.

What do you know about these PEG,

Scarcely anything. After the
death the old lady's papers were read,
and there were several from a man

an earnest appeal for money. The

Having discovered nothing I re-
turned to the city to be met with the
information that burglary had been
committed on my premises the pre-
vious. night. Some plate and a sum
of money had been removed from my
consulting room. My cabinets = had
been burst open, and many of my
surgical instruments thrown about.
The thieves had entered through one
of the windows, square of glass hav-
ing been removed, and the catch
slipped back. So far the police had
been unable to secure a clue to the
thieves.
Days passed-my money and plate
were still missing, but my mind was

The local corn market was in the
last week decidedly slow in movement

common to some of the other feed
stuffs. Receipts are small but demand
for northern shipments are light COM
pared with former asons This fea-
ture is noticeable from the milling
point and Is attributed to the large
supply of feed from the refuse Of 9TH
err grain and the abundant hay crop,
with late pasturage. Some of the
corn arriving is damp and has to so

THE ATS MARKET.

There was a shipping demand for
oats in the last week and such of the
srain as was suitable to it sold quite
readily when orders found the quality
required. Shipments exceeded re-
ceipts. the latter being small and
amounted to only 161 ears against 1913
cars for the corresponding week a
year ago. Prices are SO far under val
ues Of last ear that producers are
lighter sellers. though the crop Is
larger. Unless pressed for cash or
lacking farm storage they are disposed
to hold for prices more in harmony
with the producers estimate of value.
AS a rule other small grain sells rela-
lively higher and is in the lead in
movement. compared with relative
amounts of each raised. Like corn.
oats is largely 4 feed grain and Of
farm consumption. There its value.
when the price is low. is greater than
when thrown upon an unresponsive
market. Still oats will come along in
larger or smaller stream as attracted
by higher prices or retarded by lower.
