COLORED LINEN
IN BIC DEMAND.
MAY Be SHORT
Available Supply Likely to be Ex-
hausted Soon, Importers Be-
lieve-Market Dull,

The shortage of several popular
lines of wash fabrics for the current
summer season has brought out
much stronger demand for COlOred
dress linens and ramies. COlOre1
ratines. which did not sell well earlier
in the season. are also good property
at the present time. Several promi-
nent importers in the linen trade
predict that before the month is over
there viii be a shortage of colored
dress linens, and that within the next
80 days buyers will find stocks. COM
pletely exhausted
Summer weather of the real sort
has brought out an Unexpectedly
large share of the business The
setback suffered earlier in the season
through the remarkable popularity
of ratines is being rapidly overcome
Importers are not doing very much
at the present time in the way Of
new business except in a few cases
where goods are available for spot
or early delivery.
Stock lots Of colored linens and
linen ramies have been sought for
and have found a ready market
Goods on fall order are being charged
up as delivery dates fall due, and
in a good many cases shipments sent
out would be considerably heavier If
the goods were available. Shipments
from abroad are not prompt and
importing houses are forced to wait
until goods arrive even where they
are past due on old contracts.
Women who buy dress linens know
that these goods have now become
an all-the-y ear-arOund article, and
the linen gown made up for sum
mer wear gives excellent satisfac-
ton as a house dress during the cool
months Advices from abroad state
that buyers are hesitating over pay
ing prices current for forward con-
tracts, and are not placing many con-
tracts at present Yarns hold strong
and the chances of seeing lower
prices on the finished goods in the
near future is very remote
Mail advices from Belfast state
that the market has been quiet but
steady and there has been little in
the way of quotable change compared
with previous weeks. Buyers hest
tate to pay the prices current for
forward contracts. and consequently
are only operating in a hand-to
mouth fashion, as necessity compels
them. There is, however, hopeful
feeling.

HEALTHOF COUNTRY
SHOWN BY TRAFFIC

Thanks to decided increases in the
volume of business carried, the rail-
roads win complete the 1918 fiscal
year this month with share earnings
somewhat larger as a whole than in
the 1912 year.
The record yield of agricultural
products last fall was responsible for
a sharp Industrial revival and rail-
road gross earnings assumed record
proportions. AS result many roads
were able to increase their net reve-
nues Notwithstanding the increased
operating expenses.
Reading jumps into the lead among
American roads as the largest share

road alone
Canadian Pacific leads all with
earnings Of slightly under 20 per
cent.
Union Pacific and Burlington will
each earn about 10 per cent, a sharp
recovery from last years results,
though below the 1911 level. South

SO children and six adults were
conducted by Mrs. F. M. Gillette
through a part of Africa which the
French have redeemed from the des-

fore eye and mind filed buildings of

massive architecture and equisite,
delicate handwork in silver and gold

in fact, about every phase and many

Previous Estimates Were for

Topeka, June 21.-The wheat
crop in Kansas is not to be so big
by many millions of bushels as was
predicted, according to j. R. Koontz,
general freight agent of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
with headquarters at Topeka. He
has estimated the Kansas crop for a
series of years and never missed 1t
more than 3 million bushels. His
estimate for this year is between
rs and 80 million bushels. The
early estimates were for 1875 mil
lion. The crop last year was 90
million. "The early outlook was
good" he said. 'It promised to be
the biggest in the history of Kan
sas. But the failure Of rain later
cut down the wheat. In several
counties the result is discouraging.
Rains now would do no good. Kan
sas will have a big crop, but not
nearly so large as was first esti-
mated"

Abilene should allow its streets west

are. Your administration officers
ought to see how the towns west Of

would be ashamed of themselves.
However, the roads through Kansas
are in the best of condition now
Two years of steady work has cer-

good roads now. Motor cars have

hard luck this spring, says the
Chapman Advertiser. A few issues
ago we chronicled an article about
Abner Page falling from the top OF
silo a distance of 80 feet, badly
disfiguring his anatomy, and this
week his brother breaks into news
paper prominence by an accident
that occurred to him while he was
cranking a machine. Friday Ivan
Page was cranking a machine for
Mr.. Sollenberger and the engine
kicked back, the crank striking him
on the wrist with the result that
he is now nursing a fractured bone.

"a PER CEkT HAVE
BOXES FOR MAIL.

According to an official count
made by postal employees, "a per
cent of the residences and business
houses of Abilene are equipped with
receptacles for receiving mail from
the carriers. This Is an unusually
large percentage.
For several years the postoffice
authorities have been urging pat
rons to install mail boxes, since their
presence greatly expedites mail dis
tribution. Technically, unless box
is present, the carrier must wait
until the mail is delivered into the
hands of the person to whom it is
sent.
