WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK
UNUSUALLY PROMISING
Big Event in War or Enormous Export
Needed to Revive Outside
Interest in Market

Chicago, Sept H.-That there will be a
record-breaking acreage sown TO winter
wheat this season seems a certainty.
Whether or not the efforts OF the farm
ers will result in the expected bumper
crop next summer cannot be foretold. and
this will not be a factor this year. Up
TO date the trade has not been inclined
to pay much attention to the increased
acreage, and It is not likely that this will
be much OF a factor while conditions
continue TO be abnormal. II Is true that
war influences at the present moment
have become stale. but this Is due, to
a large extent, to the fact that neither
the allies nor the Germans have scored
any decisive victory to date.
The lack Of outside interest at present
can be laid TO the general public's dis
appointment in the action OF the war
news on the market II will take some
big event in Europe or an enormous ex-
port demand to bring back outside inter
est
Last week saw a letting down in the
movement of wheat from the country,
the receipts at primary markets totaling
Il, ,79O, 900 bushels compared with ls.bS2Ooo
bushels the preceding week and n,l22,0 900
bushels the corresponding week last year.
Reports from the southwest declare that
at the present price of wheat. farmers
are getting from eighty b eighty-five
cents for their grain. and that they are
not disposed to sell at this figure, hav-
ing had a taste Of dollar wheat.

WHAT'S A SUFFRAGIST?
ANTS Wish To KNOW
Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge Says They All
Look Alike to Her. Whether They
Be Conservatives or Radicals.
SUFFRAGE TRUST BREAKING UP

| Who are the conservative" suffragists.
and who are the radical suffragists? In
| what way can q suffragist ever be con-
sidered as conservative?
/ These are two of the questions which
Mrs. Arthur N. Dodge, president Of the
National Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage, would like to have answered,
according TO an Official statement from
her yesterday afternoon calling atten-
ton to the fact that dissentions in the
suffrage ranks make II certain that the
| fight for votes for women is doomed to
| failure.
"on the one hand" says Mrs. Dodge.
I'VE see the Congressional Union, head
| ed by Miss Alice Paul, declaring indis-
| criminate war against all Democrats be-
| cause a Democratic Congress has refused
to amend the Constitution. On the other
| hand, We see DR.. Anna Shaw, president
OF the National American Suffrage As
ISOLATION, repudiating all connection with
the Congressional Union and even go
/ ing so far as to announce that the union
is not q member OF her national assocla-
tion.
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president Of
| the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association,
returned two weeks ago from q tour Of
nine States and made this interesting
] announcement:
81 found that there Is a general break
ing up and going to pieces Of the "suf-
frage trust" There seems to be q feel
ing in the States visited against II.
The bars OF suffrage exclusion are be-
ing let down.
Mrs. Trout's remark about the suf-
frage trust is interesting, to say the
least. Who are the conservatists in the
suffrage ranks? Are they Anna shaw's
followers, who subscribe to DR.. Shaw's
peculiar and somewhat startling matri-
monial views? Are the disciples of
Alice Stone Blackwell. whose teachings
on feminism. are decidedly novel? Are
they represented by Inez Milholland? Or
are the radicals under one OF these ban
ners, or in the membership OF the Con-
gressional Union?
''It might clear the situation IL the suf-
fragists OF the United States could ex-
plain Just where they stand in politics.
The truth Of the matter seems to be
that the country Is confronted with the
spectacle OF several bands or groups OF
women quarreling among themselves, un-
able to determine whom they shall op-
pose or what they shall advocate, max
ing speeches that contradict each other,
and altogether creating a confusion
which, in its final results will wreck an
altogether futile propaganda"

LOOP OVER WHITE LOT
Famous Aviator to Do Some Hair
raising Stunts this
Morning.

Lincoln Beachey. the daring California
aviator. arrived here this morning to give
the President and Congress an exhibition
OF the most daring feats OF aviation ever

White House with his machine upturned.
To prove that he Is not taking his name

so that when he makes the revolution
his name will be seen from the ground.
Mr.. Beachey declares he Is not seek
ing notoriety. nor does he want Congress
to buy his machine; he merely wants
to show them that flying can be made
as safe as walking. with q good machine
and a thorough knowledge OF the art.

James O'Brien, who was known in
North Arson and had worked in the
woods several years, but men who
were well acquainted with O'Brien
say he is not the man. A man closely
resembling the dead man was given
lodging in the Madison lookup Satur-
day night by Deputy Sheriff R. S. Nc
Kenney, and told the officer he was
going up river to look for work. The
officer was not able, however, to pos
itively identify the man.
The verdict of the jury as read by
Foreman Daniel Steward was that the
unknown man died from natural
causes sometime between 8 A. M.

and before many years there were three

Then came terrible epidemic of Scar

were almost the first victims Then
Henry Dodd was beguiled into an un-

his health, and spent the last FIVE years

who remembered Mary's unloved child

told one another that Mary was born

A shabby cottage in the outskirts of
oaklelgh was all that was left of the
Dodd property, and Mary moved into it,
after her husband died. Those years of
constant anxiety and watching had told
upon her-her hair was almost white,
and her shoulders were bent a little, but
she found work that she could do, and
managed to support herself.

FRANK Nowlton Finds Dead Man

Jury's Verdict, Gives
Natural Causes
LOCAL AND PERSONAL.
NOTES OF INTEREST

1t was grewsome sight that met
the gaze of Frank Moulton and COM
panlon as they were driving toward
their home in North New Portland
"ednesday afternoon. The New Port
land stage road passes through a cor
ner OF the town of Embden at a point
ABOUT four miles distant from North
New Portland as one goes toward
North Anson. 1t was at this point
that Mr.. Moulton noticed the body of
man lying face downward on the
side or the road. Mr.. Moulton and
companion got out and turned the
man partially over and found that he
was dead. Leaving the body the two
men drove home and wired Coroner
n. Il. Gould, who after investigating
ordered the body taken to Lincoln's
undertaking rooms at North Arson.
A coroner's inquest was held at this
place at o'clock Thursday forenoon.
The jury impanelled was: Frank
Donley, Charles Crymble, Scott Jones,
j, A. X. Hilton, Paul Grenier, with
Daniel Steward as foreman.
There Is no clue as to the identity
OF the dead man. His hat and necktie
bore the mark of Boston clothing
houses. In his pockets was found a
comb, cake of soap, two small bottles
OF medicine, a little tobacco, and two
or three other small articles. The man
is feet, 7 inches tall, sandy complex

NEW ENGLANDERS
ARE ARRIVING HOME

Boston, Sept. 3-Bringing home from
Europe nearly 1400 passengers, most
of them New Englanders. whose va
cations were cut short by the war,
the White Star steamship Arabic ar
rived in port today.
The majority of those on board had
thrilling experiences to relate of the
difficulties which confronted them in
getting from the continent to Eng
land.
The unusually large number of pas
sengers made it necessary to provide
temporary quarters in all parts of the
ship, even in those sections usually
devoted to cargo.
In order to avoid possible capture by
German warships the Arabic's lights
were blanketed, but the precautions
were unnecessary, as nothing resemb-
ling a hostile vessel was seen through
out the trip, which was made almost
on schedule time.

DEBATING PLACE OF MEETING
FOR NEXT YEARS. ENCAMpMENT
National Capital Favored for 50th Anniversary CeebaonAd
dress by Command erin Chief-Eections
Are Held in Branches

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 3.-With the
spectacular features Of the 4sth Ma
tional Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic virtually con-
cluded, the selection of a city for next
years rallying ground occupied a
great deal of the aged veterans at
tention today. Much sentiment was
manifested In favor of Washington,
d. C.
1t was argued that the nations cap
ital would be a fitting place for the
next encampment inasmuch as 1915
will mark the 5oth anniversary of the
close of the Civil War and of the grand
reviews of the armies of the North
before President Lincoln. The meet
ing place will not be definitely de-
cided upon, however, until late tomor-
row or Saturday.
Today's program was almost entirely
given up TO the annual address of
COMMUNICATIVE chief, Gardner and
routine business. The latter included
reports of committees and national
officers.
The Woman's Relief Corps elected
officers and the election was marked
by several spirited contests. Mrs. Ssa-
rah E. Fulton Of Rochester, N. Y, was
made president
The report of Oscar A. James of
Detroit, adjutant general of the Grand
Army of the Republic showed that:
"On Jan. l, 1918, there were 1S0,213
members in good standing in the or
ganization and on Jan. /, 1914, there
were 1885, a net loss of sS7S men,
bers, as against loss of 11,119 for
last year. The loss on account of
death is 11,1s7, which is Isl less than
a year ago"
Reinstatements in membership and
new members during the last year
made the annual decrease in member
ship much less than that of the pre-
vious year.
