there were 1000 votes cast in the

the Clinton Advertiser.
THE friends OF Fred White are going
ahead with their petitions for the rea-
son that only six weeks remain in
which to complete them. If Mr.. Con-
molly should happen TO decide to run
for senator, it is probable the Fred
White petition would not be fled, thus
leaving the field open for the Third
district Congressman to get the sena-
torial nomination. notes the Daven-
port Times and concludes that this
uncertainty and indecision in the dem
ocratic ranks is good evidence OF the
conviction among democrats that Sem

PLANNING TO HASTEN
ANTITRUST MEASURES
Senate Would Permit the President
to Leave Washington at
Early Date.

Talk of early adjournment Of Congress
today centered about the desire Of SEN
ators to put through the Presidents trust
bills as quickly as possible SO that Con-
gress could wind up its labors and go
away There was strong desire shown
to make it possible for the President to
get away from Washington and from his
labors in view of the death Of Mrs. Will
son.
The President has repeatedly stated that
he intended to stay in Washington with
Congress and work here as long as the
senators and representatives remain. Many
of the congressman feel. it is said. that
they should expedite the measures under
consideration. not only for the good OF
the country, but also out Of consideration
of the President at this time.
1t is not considered possible, how
ever, for Congress to adjourn before
September l. The Clayton antitrust
bill and the Rayburn security bill re-
main to be debated and passed by
the Senate. Also, in view of the
European war, emergency measures
may be necessary at any time and
these may delay adjournment. Already
the leaders are talking about putting
through an internal revenue tax law
to make up the loss which is being
brought about in the governments rev.
enues through the loss Of tariff on i'm
ports.

that the English quotations were off in
consequence of improved prospects of

larger than has recently been the case.

Continued dry weather had bullish
effect on corn. There was brief but
decided sag. though. when wheat was

lowed by the wiping out of all the

Oats were governed principally by

Europes war has also, II is claimed,
caused an advance in the price of sugar,
dried beans of all kinds, -four and some
other staples. In the wholesale houses
of the city the sugar advance so far has
been three-quarters of cent pound,
making 1t about 10 per cent higher than
12 per cent and the driers refuse, it is
said. to quote prices for future deliveries.
The advance on flour has been about
10 per cent, but there seems to be con-
adorable doubt whether this will stand,
owing to the bumper crops and the fact
that unless vessels can be found to trans
port the grain to Europe 1t will have to

aour Instead Of being higher in price will
be lower.
A vet the advance In beans and flour
has not affected the retail business of the
city TO any extent. but sugar has ad-
yanced a cent a pound in many stores
since last week.

terer, the mischiefmaker. should have
been so fooled and frightened by an old
suit. Was there ever such joke before?
All the rest of that day he chuckled to
himself as he thought about it. He
awoke in the night to laugh about it.
Early the next morning as he was get
ting ready to occupy his old seat where
he could watch that fascinating old coat
tail he heard the voice of Sammy Jay.
Right away an idea came to him. He
would play a joke on Sammy Jay. Yes,
sir. that Is what he would do. Sammy
is just as fond of eggs as is Chatterer.
Sticky-toes knew this. So at the first
opportunity he called Sammy Jay over
to him.
DO YOU want some nice fresh eggs?"
whispered Sticky-toes in Sammy's ear.
Sammy looked at him suspiciously. "Of
course, l do; you know that without
asking" said he.
Then Sticky-toes, still whispering told
him about the home of Cresty the Fly
catcher and that he was quite sure that
there must be eggs there. But he didn't
say a word about the old suit of Mr..
Blacksnake Oh, my. no, No. indeed
You see, it was all a joke on the part
of Sticky-toes. He never. never. never
would have breathed a word about that
nest II he had thought that any harm
would come to those eggs. Sticky toes
isn't that kind. But he felt sure that
no harm would come to them. He re-
rnembered the fright Of Chatterer when
he saw the tail of Mr.. Blacksnakes old
coat and he knew that Sammy Jay is no
braver than Chatterer. So all the rest of
that day he sat where he could watch
the entrance to Cresty's home. and all
the time he chuckled to himself az he
thought of what he was sure was going
to happen. 1t was a great joke he had
planned The only trouble was he had
no one to enjoy 1t with him.

II you could have seen sticky-toes as
he sat in the tree where Cresty the Fly
catcher had made his home you would
never have suspected him of being
croaker. No, indeed! He was laughing
until there was danger of splitting his
sides.
"Ha. ha. ha, ha. ha. Ho. no, no. no.

hands to his sides because they acneo
from laughing SO long and so hard.
You see, 1t just happened that he was
sitting in that particular tree when Cresty
and Mrs Cresty brought home the old
suit of Mr.. Blacksnake which he had
thrown away when he got his new one.
Sticky toes had watched Cresty and Mrs.
Cresty tear the old suit to pieces and
take it into the hole where they were
building their nest He had noticed that
Mrs. Cresty had left the tail OF that
old coat hanging outside the door. and
it gave Sticky-toes an uncomfortaoie

didn't, and day after day he watched
that tail of Mr. Blacksnake's old coat
futtering in the wind and just couldn't
keep his eyes of 1t.
He was watching it when Chatterer the
Red Squirrel came climbing up the tree
intent on a dinner Of the eggs he felt
sure he would find in Cresty's home. He
knew nothing about tnat old suit Of Mr..
Blacksnake. and SO when he suddenly
found the tail of 1t wriggiing almost IN
