Germany's population has grown iS0 per cent in a century.
 The goose step of the German soldier was adopted with an object that of making the peasant conscripts more sure footed in a charge.
 In Germany it is said to indicate good luck if a spider spins its web downward toward you. If the opera ton is reversed that means misfor. tune.
 In Germany the prefix "yon" means court worthy" It is granted by the sovereign, who alone can raise man from the rank of a citizen to that of a gentleman.

feet to-day on prices here. Just at the
close announcement was made that
vessels had been chartered to carry
100000 bushels OF wheat from Chi

were firm at to 25s above last night.
Corn advanced %4c to &c net; oats
finished l-16th off to y up. and pro-
visions with a gain of sc TO 12l2c.
Bullish cables lifted wheat the in
slant that trading began, and the fact
soon grew apparent that foreigners
were buying at brisk rate on this side
of the Atlantic both old and new crop
supplies. Fine rains and increased
rural sales of wheat TO arrive here
caused only brief reaction. Offerings
of all active months were promptly
taken by strong houses in touch with
the seaboard. Meanwhile, special at
tention was given to word from Liver
pool that supplies were not meeting re-
auirements, Argentine offerings being
very small. with prices for India car
goes rising and already as high as
S20l bushel.
Dululn expects ucCledse tHls "eeh
OF 100000 bushels in wheat stocks
there. Seaboard clearsnces of wheat
and -four for the day reached 1927 900
bushels.
Corn, although sluggish at first,
joined later in the strength of wheat.
Domestic cash demand was fairly good,
with shipping sales of $4,000 bushels.
The seaboard reported 100000 bushels
sold to Europe. Favorable weather
made oats easy. Shorts we're about the

FOR BETTER RETURNS FROM
TRUCK.

Readers will be interested, as we
were, in the article by Mr.. Jas. P.
Bowman on the question of securing
fair treatment from commission mer-
chants to shippers of truck. He sug-
.gests three ways of meeting the diff
Guilty. The first two are probably too
expensive at this time, in view of the
comparatively small quantity of truck
shipped In fact some trial has al
ready been made here of the first
method suggested.
AS to The True Democrats Show
ing up" the sales, we should be glad to
do so if exact data were furnished us,
whether favorable or unfavorable to
the shipper 1t could be published as
a market report, without comment,
and could not be construed as libelous,
If all data were published, good as well
as bad. However, organization and CO.
operation would be necessary, so that
the reports would be regular and sys-
tematic. The truckers should get to-
gether and arrange to make regular
reports of all returns from their ship
ments. The True Democrat would
publish same, free of charge.
