But in this case, as l said to you
at first, there's so much in this if
there's anything at all, that there's
no use splitting hairs over it," He
receded rapidly from the position he
coveted but saw he could not hold.
1--WE ought to begin work at once.
Er-Mr. Rawn, do you happen to have
any present need for any money-per:
sonally?"
"No,' answered John Rawn calmly,

organization is completed, and be-
gin my work as president Of the power
company, l shall be glad to go on the
payroll, of course. l should add now
that I expect Mr.. Halsey to be my
general manager in the mechanical
department"
''In regard to salaries,'' said the
president, hesitating, I'VE might rough
ly sketch out something"
"My own salary will he hundred
thousand dollars year." said Mr..
Rawn quietly. 81 don't think we
should ask Mr., Halsey to work for
less than five thousand. Do you, gen

There shall be no haggling, gentle
men, no haggling," said the president
blandly. "It shall be as Mr.. Rawn
euggests.'
That's the talk" drawled Acker-
man. "I'll tell you, Rawn, come in
tomorrow. Well get the patent law
yers and our corporation counsel, and
begin work on this thing"
That was all there was about it, the
proceedings being wholly prosaic and
commonplace. Mr.. Halsey found again
his newspaper, again wrapped up his
machine therein, took it under his
arm, and hesitatingly turned toward
the door, the palest now, and most un-
happy of them all. He had denied his
own frst-borD.

like her mother, part ground-squirrel,
and secretive-should also disappear
little by little, and they also had gone.
In some way, only the women knew
how, they all had had enough to eat,
80 far as that meant actually Reces-
sary food: but the entire Rawn family
were a gaunt and haggard, as we'll as
a wearied and anxious quartette, when
finally they gathered about the little
machine out Of the woodshed. Their
play was on one card and the card
was turned What was it?
In the most commonplace way In
the world, and quite as though he had
always done this very thing, Mr.. Hen
ry Warfeld Standley, president of the
|. & D. A. Railway Co., warned in ad-
vance by Mr.. Rawn's telephone, came
to the door himself Presently the
three, Rawn, Falsey and the president
of the company for which both so long
had worked, sat at the long GLASGOW
cred table, where lay many papers.
The president pushed a button and or
dered the attendance Of Mr.. Theodo-
sius Ackerman, the general traffic
manager; so that now they made four
in company.
Very little was said, but after
time young Halsey nervously removed
the newspaper from his little machine,
and displayed it uncovered on the
table, a ribbed and coiled and toothed
little model, showing file marks here
and there, and resembling nothing in
particular in the world. Young Hal
sey, tacitly elected spokesman by
Rawn, cleared his throat as he ad-
dressed the president Of the road, for
whom he still felt naught but awe.

can take right out of the air-with

as we'll as the primary current wired

Halsey spoke very calmly, yet the
hands of the president of the road,
resting on the edge of the table, trem-
bled slightly. The fighting red had
disappeared from the face of the G.

deathly ILL., He was, however, the
first to recover. "Well, why don't you
burst it, then?" he exclaimed savage
ly, hopping at his forehead.

a package of Sovereign cigarettes.
These pins carry out faithfully tbs

to their pleasing novelty, the DAT

pins is merely fading away fast.
The gift of these "Daffydill

with each package of Sovereign Gig
arettes, which costs five cents, is
made to insure their wide trial, be-
cause of tho belief on the part of
the manufacturers that smokers

CONCERNING HOLDING OF
WHEAT FOR HIGHER PRICES

Some facts of particular interest to
the wheat raisers developed in the
recent investigation by the state
board of utilities of the petion made
BY the railroad companies to raise
the minimum car load to $4,000
In discussing the question of car
shortage which is one of the princi-
pal elements to be considered, the
facts as noted below developed. Not
particularly applicable to conditions
in tbs year CT short crops, but which
are of interest to the average Kan
sas wheat raiser. The statistical por-
ton of the report is furnished by
the U. S. board of agriculture and is
reliable.
Considering shrinkage and extra ex
pense of handling the figures have a
tendency to prove that the holding
of a crop under ordinary conditions,
fails to be profitable to the producer.
The opinion, handed down by Chair
man Martin, touching the matter
with which the article deals, is as
follows:
1T is a matter Of common know
ledge that the farmers generally de-
sire to sell their grain from the ma
chine When We have abundant
crops the great quantities Of grain
give the carriers what they call a
peak load There are numerous
reasons why the farmers desire to
dispose of their grain immediately az
ter harvest. Some Of them need the
money. others have no adequate bins
and still others believe it is more
profitable to sell their grain than II
hold it. Whether it is more profit
able for the farmer to store his grail
than it is to sell it from the machin'
was discussed at the hearing by nu
merous witnessed, some holding on
way and some holding the other way
It was claimed by some Of the othe
witnesses that the price OF whea'

nesses that the farmer can store b

MARKET REPORT.

Kansas City Stockyards, July A.
Cattle receipts were better distribut-
ed through last week than usual and
dealers say it benefited prices. They
would like to see cattle come in that
way every week. Grass cattle, which
have been selling rs cents to $l.5O
higher than year ago, declined 10
to % cents last week, while fed cat
tie, both steers and she stuff, which
have been selling 80 cents to a dol
lar lower than a year ago, got a sea-
sonable advance of 10 to rs cents.
Stockers and feeders lost their gain
Of the first of the week. Quarantine
cattle acted independent Of the gen.
eral market and sold rs to 40 cents
higher all around. KILLERS have got
ten a line ON how the grass quaranr
tines are killing and are not afraid OF
them. Supply here today is 1900
cattle, including 226 car loads Of quar-
antine cattle, and receipts were lib
eral at other points. Fed cattle are
about steady today, top steers $3.50,
grassers 10 to 20 lower. Corn crop
conditions are generally satisfactory
and country buying already shows
signs Of being heavy this fall. Illinois
and Iowa buyrs thereafter to 60
around the markets this fall and buy
their cattle direct from owners in
the country, hoping thereby to escape
competition from the killers on the
markets, which will be keen on al
fleshy animals this fall. Bulk Of fec
steers today $3.50 and upwards, gras'
ers $500 to $S.25, quarantine steers
$3.50 to sS.15, stock steers $3.50 t
