A Sealed BARGAIN.

Wentworth sat in a small room at
the theater, which he had appropriated
as his own. It led directly off the box
Office. He was glancing owe a heap of
press clippings when the door opened
and Merry walked in.
Good morning" There was a sur
prised glance on Enoch's face while he
spoke.
Andrew nodded a response, then he
drew a package of manuscript from his
pocket. Wentworth's eyes turned on
him curiously while he 1attened it out
on the table before him. No unneces-
sary courtesies passed between them.
Il rewrote the scene as YOU sug
gested," said Andrew carelessly.
THAT was good of YOU" In his sur
prise Wentworth showed an impulsive
friendliness. He stretched out his
hand for the manuscript
There was no cordially in Merry's
face. He glanced quietly through the
written sheets.

lace. "Oswald's been asking for it this

How Do You raIk2

Are you in the habit of making
many gestures when you talk? An
Italian Psychologist maintains that as
an orators gestures are involuntary,
they afford a test of his sincerity. For
instance, if the speaker plays with his
watch chain, he is on his guard, and
his utterances r not entirely frank.
Should he sway his body from side to
side, it is a sign of versatility and Of
an active mind; while a constant repe.
tition of the same gesture is held to
indicate that his heart is in the sub
iect and that he is sincere.

a little fork or crotch of the limb close

AOUlTERATION OF SEEDS.

According to an act Of Congress
tie Department of Agriculture is re-
CURED TO examine samples Of seed
and rcport as to their genuinesness.
Ia carrying ont the provisions Of the
act the department recently made an
alySls CT 1921 samples of seed, such
as grasses, clover, alfalfa, etc, and
OF that number 1877 were found to be
adulterated or misbranded, together
with the names Of the seedsmen by
whom they were sold or offered for
sale.
Another instance came from Ken
lucky. Four hundred and thirty-eight
samples Of bluegrass seed we're fur
nished for examination. Fifteen or
less than four per cent were found
to be either adulterated or misbrand-
ed One sample was a mixture Of
redtop. timothy, Canada bluegrass and
Kentucky bluegrass.
Fer the farmers to purchase only
first class seed it is necessary %
have examinations made frequently
and should they be found defective
those engaged in their sale are for
hidden to place them on the market
under pain Of a heavy fine In this
manner grass seeds can be kept
practically free from adulteration, and
produce good crops. Otherwise the
farmers would be wronged and their
money uselessly spent
By this act many farmers have
been able to purchase pure seeds
| and those who have been guilty Of
| adulterating them are practically out
! OF the markets.

NOT THE REAL REMEDY.

Fred l.. Feick, representative of
western railroad men, a million or
more, was recently in Washington
pleading for an advance in railroad
freight rates. Eie said 100000 rail
read men in the west are out o.
now brakemen and glad to find emf
ployment; wages have been cut 10 to
20 per cent; the idle men represent
100000 people; at $500 per day it
means $1,O00,O0O day, $30,0OO,OOO a
month and $30OO00,0OO a year En-
gines and cars are stored tracks are
deteriorating and State and Federal
laws are being violated.
This is sad story. Conditions in
the east are fully as bad as in the
vest But will an increase in rates
give relief? 1t is scarcely possible.
Suppose freight rates are increased,
will this remedy the trouble? 1t is
impossible to believe it will be more
than temporary.
There is deeper cause. There
is lack Of freight, else the roads
would be hauling it at the existing
rates True it might not pay large
profit, but if it was possible to haul
freight at existing rates for many
years and make money, why not now?
There have been increases in rates
Of wages, but not sufficient to cause
severe losses. Five per cent, the In
crease desired, would not produce
freight. On the contrary, 1t might
have an opposite effect. If the rate
Pioneer press. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1882-19??, 1914-06-20

should be SO high as to deprive the
shipper OF profit, shipment would not
be made
The real cause Of the trouble is
the large increase In imports and
the large decrease in exports During
April there was a decrease of more
than $37,O00,000 in the value OF ex-
ports and an increase of more than
$27 100000 in the value Of imports
This means a net loss for the month
OF $10,00O,000. That is, in order to
square the account for the month, we
must pay foreign nations that 100000.
600. The actual loss for the month
is $64,000,00O, equal to $768, 100000
year and a balance Of trade against
us Of $120,000,000 a year. This is
the drain that is closing factories.
reducing wages, discharging men and
bringing poverty into the homes OF
the people. 1t is the Democratic

JUDGE A. c. DAYTON
FILES HIS ANSWER
Denies Every Charge and Offers
Many Affidavits in Support of
His Contention
Especial to The WORLDLY

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
Judge A. G. Dayton arrived here to-
day, accompanied by his son, Arthur,
and filed with the house committee
Of the judiciary his answer to the
charges preferred against him in the
impeachment proceedings.
He makes general denial Of each
and every one Of the charges, and
has affidavits in support Of many Of
his denials. One Of the papers filed
is a letter from Theodore Roosevelt,
stating that he was appointed wholly
without solicitation by anybody be-
cause Roosevelt had learned to adj
mire and respect Dayton.
He also said in the letter that Day
ton had nothing to do with the in
vestigation Of the conduct Of Judge
Jackson by the department Of JUS
tice, which was made by direction Of
Roosevelt.
The house committee decided today
not to further consider the Dayton
charges until Congressman Nicely
has had a chance to be heard by the
committee. Mr.. Nicely is away for a
few days so that matter will not
come up just yet.
