market on "Wednesday. A very import
ant announcement will be made in this
report 1t will be the governments es-
innate on the amount Of wheat left In
farmers hands on July l from last sea-
sons crop. 1t will also give the <enal
condition of winter wheat for this sea-
son besides the general average condition
OF corn and the acreage of that crop for
this season. The report Is therefore of
the greatest Importance.
prominent Western banking institu-
ton says IL Is pleasant to turn from
finance and politics to considerations OF
fundamental conditions. which are essen
TALLY sound and satisfactory.
The success OF the Offering Of Kansas
City Terminal Railway notes in London
Is said to be regarded by investment
sources as another indication of better
financial conditions here and abroad.
Investment affiliations note that the
proceeds of the sale OF Southern Pacific
stock by Union Pacific would. II distrib-
uted to the stockholders. mark the pres
ent price Of Union Pacific down to about
llo. and offset any possible reduction OF
the dividend.
Well-informed interests are said to find
considerable quiet long pull buying of
low-prked stocks. such as Great Western.
Erie. Nevada, and Utah Copper.
Floor gossip Is stated to indicate that
the reaction in marlborough metropolitan

Sether with the sudden announcement OF

TO Paris. following the unfavorabIe bank
statement OF Saturday. was supplemented
by so much financial trouble In Pitts
burgh. growing out of the suspension OF
the First-Second National Bank there,
and the receivership for the American
Waterworks Company. that a slump in
the general stock market was to have
been expected from such unfavorabIe
developments
The only surprise is that the declines
did not go much further than the ! to
L. points losses. which most OF the
active stocks developed under the lead
OF Union Pacific.
The situation at present is more in
favor OF a further dragging market We.
therefore. would advise a waiting atti-
tude for further declines before favoringI
purchases again.

ADVOCATE THE
USE OF ALGEBRA
But Bitterly Oppose the Purchase of
Gondolas and ChandeIers
for Own Reasons.

Do you know what you are talking
about?
Lots Of people don't. and you know
that that is not an opera house joke.
The story is told of a school director
who advocated teaching algebra in
the public schools because:
These boys and girls when they
grew up have got to go to work and
most of them will work in department
stores and will need their algebra to
read the price marks. which are all
made in algebra. you can see the let
tiers for yourself"
Another school director placed him
self on record as opposing the pur-
chase of chandeliers for a school. as
he did not believe that anybody could
play on them anyhow and they might
annoy the neighbors il they did
In the humorous history of another
city appears the record of a public
works Official who opposed purchasing
more than two "gondolas" for the park
lake. as he believed that breeding was
possible even IL the climate is not
what the creatures are used to-"
One man asked another what the in
scription "A. d. 1871" on a school
house corner stone meant and received
the reply, Il am surprised at you.
Don't you know that a. ID. stands for
'Amboy District"
You may be able to laugh at each
one of these incidents. but are you
quite sure that you have not made
yourself ridiculous at some time?

about keep Herald dictionary at

ing is of the persistent kind that may
mean something some day when the pur-
pose thereof Is made pubic. Inere Is no
question but that the Gas company is
doing well; no question but the dividend
Will be earned this year, and that II is
a good per cent investment at 90. but

What Boys Want to Know About ;
Nature.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Some posers put by small boys were
mentioned by Mrs. Douglas Wilson at the
annual meeting in London Of the Chill
dren's Country Holiday Fund. Questions
on the part of the children were encour-
aged, she said. but it was sometimes DIFF
ficult to answer them One small boy of
eight propounded the problem. why
does a sIowworm burn up with the light
inside it, Another asked. why does a
snail make a trace line?" and she thought
the difference between thirsty boy and
a sentimental boy could be seen in the
questions of two youngsters. one of whom
inquired. What bird says ginger beer
at the end of his soug?" while the other
asked for similar information as to the
songster which ended his phrases with
Twill you. will you kiss me, dear?'
