Grain and Produce,

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The beginning
OF q new week finds wheat prices rul-
ing somewhat below the level OF the
previous week. The main influences
hayesbeen- the increase in the primary
movement which has gradually ap.
proached the figures Of last year and
last week slightly exceeded them. In
construction with this, the curtailment
81. demand has lent a weak tone to
values; the decline in foreign ex.
change making export sales uncertain.
Added to this is the idea that the for.
etgn demand will converge on Cana.
dian wheat and later on Australian
wheat, each Of which countries have
much larger crop than last year.
This gives rise to skepticism as to
the disposition OF our exportable sur
plus.

You may think it would not get
the business. Well, let me tell you
that Sears-Roebuck and Montgom-
cry Ward & Co. are getting business
in the suburbs, even swell Lake For
est, with only an annual or semi
annual catalogue and no newspaper
advertising at all In this way you
can cut your advertising expense
more than half and give your GUS
toners better prices, and you know
that nothing appeals to the shopping
public like low prices.
1t would be as sensible to divide
your business in several buildings in

your advertising among several pa

uting it yourself. Think it over and

TO CHICAGO WIDOWS. Could
not all the widows of Chicago be or
ganized under one banner? Politi-
clans and judges are always in
hurry to show respect to organiza-
tons. Everybody laughs at widows
as huge jokes, but l claim they are
tragedies. We need wealthy widow
of Chicago, a Mrs. Hartman or a
Mrs. Belmont, to form a widows
protective assn" There should be
no dues, but just an index of all their
last addresses. No widow, whether
grass, sod or college, should be ex-
cluded. All widows are human be-
ings and deserve equal treatment, if
this is free country. Sexual indis-
erection should not penalize woman.
A woman who has gumption
enough to divorce a brute Of hus-
band / admire her spunk. The only
pity is that the law don't allow her
to finish the brute before he spoils
some other woman's life. l do not
mean to antagonize the sexes.
Mismated couples should divorce
and each go their separate ways in
peace, free from jealousies and
grudges. The law should allow mis-
mated couples to divorce before they
kill each other.
All members of the widows club
should be given one vote each. ALI
other women not widows should be
considered honorary members and
active when widowed. With an Or
ganization of this kind a wen-to-do
widow could help out for spell a
destitute widow with IA kids. This
would eliminate so-called investiga-
tors, United Charities and judges of
the courts. The principle of widows
pensions should be reversed.
