Editors Resent Womsn's Demand That
Society News Be Omitted.
Montclair. n. 1.-THE declaration of
Mrs. Charles Il. Van Week that the
goings and comings of the socially
prominent should not be chronicled In
the local newspapers on the ground
that the announcements serve to at
tract thieves has set the whole town
talking. There is much speculation as
10 whether Mrs. Van Weeks dictum
will be accepted.
Mrs. Van Week states that the pres
ent practice OF society should be stop
ped and that the information be given
TO the police instead. Mrs. Van Week
explains that she was moved to her
suggestion because the local police
found copies OF the local newspapers
I'm houses that-had been entered. OPP
posite the item telling about the de-
parture of the householders a mark
had been placed.
The police favor Mrs. Van Weeks
idea. Inasmuch as the society news Is
the mainstay OF the local newspapers,
their editors are indignant. The whole
town Is talking.

TURN HAMBURG SHIPS.
Compasses Affected by Lying For a
Year Alongside Iron Pier.

New York.-Six American
line steamers tied up at Thirty-third
street, South Brooklyn, have been
turned around by order Of the marine
superintendent to regulate their com
passes. which had been affected by
lying for a year alongside an iron pier.
The hauling Of the ships into the har-
Dor and warping them back into their
berths stern first created comment
along the water front In South Brook
lyn, with the usual dash to sea rumor.
Captain Jaegar, who has charge Of
the ships. said the magnetism from
the iron pier had affected the COM
passes and caused the needles to devi-
ate from the north.
He said the vaterland. tied up In
Hoboken. was equipped with gyro-
scopic compasses. which were not sub
ject to magnetic influences. Other
steamers are made fast to wooden
piers, which do not affect the COM
passes.

took with him Storkensen and Ander-

~perienced men in the party; six of the
best dogs, a sled and a load OF more

~Stefansson and the others did not re-
turn to the north coast of the North
American continent. On Stefansson's
failure to return to the mainland two
whaling captains were tent to Banks
island, but there was no trace OF
S~tefansson or his party there. The
whalers brought back word hat the
Ice had broken up earlier than usual
and that Stefansson, IL he sought to
reach Banks island. had been pre-
vented by open water.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 19.-Cattle re-
ceipts were moderate for a Wednes-
day, some As cars or 1000 head. as
against 1913 a week ago and LAG
the corresponding day a year ago.
Falling off in receipts had a bene-
fetal effect Oh the market for prac-
tically classes of killing cattle. Trade
tone was active and prices strong to
a dime higher on both steers and
buthcer stock, while a steady outlet
vas provided for bulls, stays and veal
calves.
Release for stockers and feeders
was somewhat broader than on the
previous day. Fresh supply was linn
tied and. as dealers had a fair call
from the country yesterday, they
needed a few to sweeten up their
holdings and the useful kinds show
ed a slight touch of strength.
Trade on hogs opened out much
the same as on yesterday. Under the
influence of a little competition from
packers, shippers picked up a few
loads of the choice lights at prices
that were regarded as steady paying
as high as $40 for several punches.
After first rounds, however, it was a
slow. draggy deal at a decline of 10 q
zoe. bulk of the heavy mixed and
packing grades selling at a spread of
from $3.50 a GAO.
Quite a big run of sheep was sched-
uled to arrive today. but the train
did not arrive until after the noon
hour. General conditions surround
ing the market at present are bearish
and declines of rs a 40c are quoted,
as compared with late last week.

Treasure Found.

On Wednesday, oath ultlmo, John
Reedy and Albert Barb in digging a
post hole on Mr.. Mark Rush's place,
near the road to the Triplett power
house, and not far from the ante
bellum school house, struck tin can.
which contained thirty-four silver
half dollars. The coins bore dates
from 1919 to 1886. They were we'll
preserved.
Who buried them will probably
never be known.
The parties finding them divided
the coins with Mr. Rush. Many of
them are now held by different parties
as souveniers.
A small stream known as the still
house run, passed near the point
where the money was found.
There is a tradition that there was
q still house on this run, in ancient
days, when there was still hoGee on
nearly every stream and even upon
the town lots in Woodstock. 1t May
be that the proprietor of one of these
still houses, when there were no banks
IN which he could deposit his money,
selected cosy fence corner and there
buried his extra change. Had he put
it out to the usurer, his seventeen dol
lars by this time might have iucreas-
ca to S272 90 or more.

primary muscles and pay little or no
attention to the auxiliary muscles,
An important factor is the effort to
overcome the backwardness caused by

illustrations as in the growing of
more and better corn, and the learn
ing of the names Of birds and trees OF

injured, and of making themselves
generally useful wherever assistance

Spiritual development is made by
means of bible lessons, and the friend

help in the forming of moral and re-

The field of work extends over the
