"A Penny Saved Is So
Much Earned"

What you save is far more important than whatyou
earn Some people can do with $25 that which others
can hardly accomplish with twice as much One is
prudent and thrifty buyer the other is reckless and
extravagant.
Carelessness in buying, while sometimes uninten-
tiona is due to lack ofmethod, observation and know
ledge.
The best way to buy to best advantage is through
reading the advertisements appearing in THE JOUR
NAL every week They contain the latest and most
important merchandising news; they feature the most
reliable products they enable you to buy atthe lowest
price for which the article be sold consistent with
quality.
Read THE JOURNALS advertisements closely and
constantly The habit will save you not only pennies,
but in the course Of year will save many dollars for
you. A penny saved is much earned J"

THE MARKETS
The Grain Market.

4 UNITED Press Leased Wire Seryice.l
CHICAGO, Jan. IL Bullishness
was the prevailing tone in the wheat
market this week, DESPITE the inf'''-
ences that tended in the opposite d.
rection There was an irregulariry
and yscilla.ion in prices, but the gen
eral trend was upward.
The week began with a visible sup
ply showing an increase Of 2,174,000
bushels, compared with $4,000 bushel
decrease the corresponding week in
1912. Another bearish factor was the
large Argentine crop. Then, too,
there was the liberal snowfall in the
winter wheat country.
All these factors were offset, how
ever, by the opinion Of traders that
the light accumulations at terminal
points in a period of heavy receipts
pointed to a scarcity next spring.
Much the same reasoning prevailed
in corn trading, which also went up.
In addition the strong western de-
mand for feeding withdrew much
grain that would otherwise have come
to Chicago and this held the market
up.
Oats pretty generally followed the
other cereals. although there was a
much more bearish tone there. The
bears hammered hard but could not
resist the movement of the market in
general. There was a slight decrease
in receipts early in the week.
Provisions closed weak, with indi-
cations for poorer market next
week. Receipts have been heavy and
confidence light and there have been
no upward influences at work.

by John Often, Santa Fe locomotive

the reader must know that the large

as the railroad man tell It:
Two passengers on the Santa Re

then exclaimed to his friend:

striking feature of the weeks market
was the combating influences OF last
months liquidation and the depress-
ing character of the news from
Washington. While the former was
most effective in keeping the list I'M
der strong control the United States
supreme courts rejection of the plan
for dissolving the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific combination exerted
counter-influence that tended to
produce a sagging or at best a dull
market In addition there was a bear
ish note due to the activity of the
money trus. committee at Washing
ton
The money market was noteworthy
for the ease of money for temporary
use. This, together with statistics
showing increasing stocks of copper
metal on hand and the swift. transit
ton from a shortage of freight cars
in mid-December to a surplus at the
beginning Of January, suggest the pos
sibilty Of a contraction in trade being
on the way. Europe, too, n.inued
to show uneasiness in regard to the
outlook for future relations between
the powers due to the Balkan Turkish
deadlock in peace negotiations. With
the latest word from London that
there Is no prospect for an amicable
settlement between the Balkan allies
and the porte, the international mar
ket should react smartly mex. week.

Washington. June 17.-WhiIe the' war department was seemingly reH- cent about confirming the story, it was said to be true that American troops in the Hawaiian islands are turning the crater of an extinct vol cano into modern island Gibraltar. According to the report which came through private advices received at Boston from Honolulu, big American guns will soon peep from the rim of the volcano and prove effective in de- lending the United States naval base. Ammunition, food supplies and other necessaries are being stored in the crater, guns are being mounted, 8 wa ter supply has been arranged for and gardens have been planted on the mountain slopes to provide food. The communication to Boston further said that Americans living in the Hawaiian islands, including the troops, are very anxious over the Japanese situation.

 THE AUTO SIREN Many people were around town com p1aining yesterday because they were awakened at the hour of 3:30 o'clock in the morning by the auto-chenadcal siren which was sounded by the fire men on their way to the fire on Ave
 nue A at Avon park The people, most of whom live in the southern part of the town and along Main street said that the siren was sounded from the time the machine left the truck house in the Center until it reached the fire. It was stated that there was no need for this and that it would have been time enough to start to blow the siren when the ac6line was within few blocks of the fire. Haf the people of the town were aroused by the harsh cry of the siren when there was no need for it.
