Instead of chaos resulting from a

embarrassed and virtual certainty
that bankruptcies would ensue, the

to maintain its record of never having

In addition to the relief extended

The Armour sales of wheat were
supplemented by Simultaneous disposal
of 600 600 bushels of corn and an
equal quantity of oats
These sales were afterward GOV

It was Of supreme Importance to a hero
whether or not he could make the heroine

portance to the heroine The romance
was all founded ON sex; and yet sex was
hardly mentioned. Our heroes and hero
ines still marry; but when they consider
sex at all, they are apt to consider it
bioloKically, not Economically. We, an q
public. are more frankly interested In sex
than ever; but we think OF 1t Collectively.
and little brutally, In terms OF demand
and supply. And so we get often the
pathetic spectacle of the hero and hero
Inc having no time to make love to each

less, Is good thing; but beyond doubt,
IL has cheapened passion. For passion
among civilized people Is a subtle thing;

imaginings; and can bring human beings
to salvation as well as to perdition. But
when 1t Is shown to Is as the mere, prov
