Stereotyped Praying.

old Deacon Jones always prays the
same prayer in public His phrases
never vary. Everybody in the congre-
cation knows when he has reached the
middle and when he Is near the end.
And nobody feels n throb Of gladness
when Deacon Jones gets up to pray.
His sincerity IL beyond question. He
means every word OF that old prayer
or, at least, he did when first he be-
gan to pray 1t. But now it is form
of words. and 1t chokes up his liberty,
even as a six-inch pipe cannot contain
the waters OF flood. Old Deacon
Jones needs a new vocabulary. for his
own sake as well as for the sake OF
lis hearers. II professional writer's
keep Roget's "Thesaurus of English
Words and Phrases" on their desk,
surely Deacon Jones needs some
studied help in making his utterances
really represent his present mood and
experience.

WHEAT UP SEVERAL CENTS
News Of Lifted Embargo at Balti-
more Makes Higher Prices.
LOCAL CASH GRAIN IS ACTIVE
Following the News from Chicago
of Advances Local Market
shows More Life Than ~
Has In Two weeks.

Reports to the Omaha grain exchange
that the railroads reaching Baltimore had
raised the embargo on grain for export;
that Baltimore IL an open port, and that a
plan for insuring safe delivery OF grain In
Europe, the conslenee assuming the risk
and paying the insurance charges, sent
wheat up TO 4 cents yesterday morning
and started dealers to buying, many OF
them taking over long lines.
Omaha prices followed three to five
cents below Chicago and after the first
hour there was more activity In cash
grain than has been noted in the past two
weeks However. the receipts were not
heavy, but there we're large quantities
sold out OF stocks In storage. The Omaha
receipts for the day we're: Wheat. p;
corn, a., and oats. rs cars

up right from the opening Of the market
September closed Monday at sos and no
time Tuesday did II get below S9}s going
as high as s2h For December, 9l-s was
low and sSS high. The May option sold
as high as tl.05as and as low as Si.O2, which
wss one-fourth cent below the close of
Monday night
The grain men are OF the opinion that
with prospect OF open ports for export
and reasonable rate for insuring deliv-
cry In Europe. prices are about as low as
they will get during the continue nee Of
the war and that the prospects, are that
they will go much higher before next
harvest
Omaha daily bee., 1914-08-19
Comparative Prices

1T will be seem" continued Mr.. Hynes,
from these figures. that wheat is few
cents higher at this time than for the
same period last year: corn and oats
this year are actually lower than they
were at the same time iast year. and
this in face OF the fact OF a general
war IN Europe. which. naturally. based
on supply and demand. would call for
considerable higher prices.
ut certainly should be source OF
regret that the producer should not get
some slight benefit at a time like this.
while on the other hand. when some UNI
forescen incident. such as financial dis
nster. takes place and products are de-
pressed. In many instances below the cost
Of production. the question Of reimbursing
the producer for the loss Is never con-
sidered. and It seems to be regarded as
purely natural that the farmer should
dispose Of his products st whatever price
he can get. regardless Of the cost OF
production"

GRAIN EXCHANGE NECESSARY
An Indispensable Factor in Selling

HIGH PRICES ARE NATURAL

Baseless Quotations.

That the boards Of trade over the
country are a necessity; that they IN no

in the most economical manner is the
defense offered by President Hynes OF
the Omaha Grain Exchange In answer
to the suggestion OF the National Assoc

that boards OF trade be suspended as a
means OF curtailing higher prices Of

He points In this behalf to the results

CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

II is a queer condition of civiliZa-
tion that forces the United States TO
arrest about FIVE thousand Mexican
soldiers and civilians, who fee from
the rebel army in Mexico, and force
Us to feed them indefinitely. Why
not put them across the border and let
them look out for themselves Gross
vile. Tenn, Chronicle.
We are very much surprised that
man of the business acumen of the
Crossville editor should write such
q paragraph as the above. President
Wilson's policy all along has been to
get the Mexican difficulties straighten-
ed out without the shedding of Ameri-
can blood. This policy may not be
civilized. but it is humanitarian. Ac-
cordingly when Huerta's army was
forced over the border to escape ami
hilation. what mole splendid chance
was given him to put out of business
bloodlessly the northern army of the
arch leader He could have forced
them back over the border, as the
Crossville man suggests, but anyone
with any mercy in his heart could not
do that. In the Bible we find pas
sage that reads, blessed ara the mer-
ciful, for they shall obtain mercy,
and possibly President Wilson had this
in mind. 1t is much better to feed
these refugees until Huerta's southern
army is defeated, which is only a
question of time. 1t is impossible for
him to continue much longer and ev-
cry day we expect to hear of his fee
ing the country. Supplies are cheaper
than blood at any time, according to
our idea, and this rounding up of
Huerta's northern army, to our mind,
is fine policy, and is humanitarian
in the highest sense. Wilson might
have gone into conflict several months
ago and thousands of American lives
been lost and an immense war debt
saddled upon the country, but he
chose policy which is turning out
successfully, and who grudges the few
dollars that are now spent feeding
these refugeesS

AFTER SEVEN MONTHS
DOC FOUND OWNER

After seven months search little
dog found its owner. This seems i'm
probable, but, nevertheless, it has all
the indications of being true. Will
liam Burnett, of this city, is engaged
in road work for the county and has
been using some of the county prison
ers on the work. One of his prisoners
is Joe Diamond, colored, who was sent
to the workhouse for stabbing another
negro while employed at the Hale's
Bar dam. Diamond had small cur
dog or fyste, which be had to aband-
on, and has now been in Jail seven
months. Last week. while working
neal Kimball, some twelve miles from
the dam, little dog came down the
road alone. The negro noticed the
dog and said, "Yander es my dawg"
The sheriff in charge did not believe
him, and suspicioned some trick, but
as the animal came closer, the man
spoke to it and it flew to him in q
transport of rapture and delight,
Ownership was ISSUED by the apparent
delight of the animal to find Diamond,
and it would not leave him. The an
imal is now kept at the jail, and il
we'll fed It was in pitiable condi
ton, a rack of bones. but now is get
ting fat and sleek, and is the delighr
Of the prisoners. Every evening whel
Diamond is brought in from his work
when nearing the Jail, he gives pc
culiar whistle and the little dog come'
tearing to meet him. It would seen
that the animal had intelligence
enough to seek its master, and hat
been seven months on the job.

We can't say that we admire the
paragraphs in the Dunlap Tribune
headed "Wbitwell in Bad. The fact
is, the citizenship of Whitwell 's as
good as any average town, and there is
really an overpercentage of good, clev-
or industrious and moral people. OF
course there are some blots on civili-
cation, but these are getting some
very extensive advertising just now
because of the vigilance of the officers
and justices, who are determined on
law enfolc cement. Events like those
mentioned in the Tribune have been
happening in Wtitwell for years past.
but did not get the public airing they
should get. The disposition of people
now is to let disagreeable things be
known instead of hiding them and
thus furthering and abetting the
crimes, hence the publicity is increas-
ed. Don't blame Whityell, or hold it
up to odium, but rather commend it
for prosecuting these cases. 1t shows a
distinctive move toward law enforce
ment, which should be encouraged.
