HEAVY SELLING
OF WAR STOCKS
Wall Street Reducing Speculative
Holdings-M0s of Last Weeks
FaYOrites Advance.

New York, aug. 2.-There was a
tendency today on Wall street to re-
duce speculative holdings Of war
stocks, which showed the effects OF
heavy realizing sales.
The shares which under normal con-
ditions are the mainstay Of the market
were we'll taken, with material gains
among q large number Of representa-
tive issues.
Bonds were irregular
A fair degree of strength developed
in the early trading today, but the
accumulation Of orders over the week
end was not large and the opening
was the quietest Of any Monday morn
ing for several weeks. Most of the
favorites on last weeks advance were
higher, although beayiness appeared
in CrucibIe Steel, which fell back
.I&. Bethlehem Steel, Air Brake,
Chalmers, Baldwin Locomotive,
Can and Republic Steel gained about
point each and coal products four
points.

Fish Peddler Suicides-After laying
open an artery in his wrist and watch
ing the blood flow freely from the
cash, Edward Bohde. a FISH peddIer,
placed rope around his neck in the
barn at the rear OF the home of Fred
erick W Koch, 1740 West Sixth street.
Friday night The body dangling from
the end of the rope was found by Mr..
Koch Saturday Depressed business
and his inability to keep out Of debt
was the reason for his rash act. it was
explained. Rohde had been deliberate
in his plan to Kill himself. He had
been talking with friend sometime
before it and declared that he intended
10 end his life. For months Dohde
had been living in the barn. He went
to the place, evidently placed the rope
around his neck and slashed his wrist.
Growing weak, finally, from the loss OF
blood the body fell forward and the
moose around his neck frightened. The
body was in this position when found
by Koch. For several years Rohde
had been making his living by peddlinE
fish. He owned a horse which he kept
in the Koch barn and recently had been
sleeping in the barn himself Before
taking up this business he was en-
ployed by the Peoples Light company.
About 3 year ago he suffered the loss
Of one Of his legs. Rohde was over 81
years OF age, He was born in Ger
many, June S, 1864, and came TO Dav-
export d number Of years ago.

plentifully supplied with benches and
tables for picnic parties. Such a play
ground is especially necessary in fac
tory towns. Employers like to locate
where their employees will be con-
tented, and the workers will have
some place to spend their spare time,
their Sundays and holidays. Tennis
tournaments could be held at specified
times during the summer, to which a
small fee could be charged to be ap-
piled to the upkeep of the courts. The
baseball grounds could be used as a
league field, thus encouraging friend
1y rivalry between the home team and
those of nearby towns. Factory
owners and merchants should be asked
to contribute to the upkeep of such a
playground on the principle that call
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy" They will receive the inter-
est on their investment in increased
efficiency among their employees and
a greater ease in securing and holding
good workers.

Young people grow tired of a small

Progressive towns which desire to hold
their young people r adopting means
to interest, entertain and keep them
contented. One method is the play
ground. Every town, big and small,
should have one. It should be a pub
lie park, where everyone could go at
any time. The city should pay for it's
upkeep and it should be we'll kept. A
portion of the park should be set aside
for the little ones, with swings in it,
slides and whirligigs. The older young
men and women should have tennis
courts, baseball grounds, croquet
courts, ETC., and the grounds should be

WHY THEY
LEFT HOME

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside, the national farm paper pub
ished at Springfield, Ohio, a contrib
utor writes an interesting article
showing how motor cars effect farm
life. He tells the story of a prosper
Gus farmer in eastern Kansas who had
two children a son and daughter
both of whom left home and took un-
important positions in cities. Their
reasons for leaving home are present
ed in the two following letters which
they wrote to their mother:
II wanted pretty things, Mother,
wrote Mary, a year after she had quit
the old farm home. Everything was
sc old fashioned at home, and you and
Father were so busy you wouldn't
have the house fixed any different"
Sims letter is a little longer, and
more detailed:
"The other boys had a chance to get
out around the country, even to drive
to Ottawa now and then, behind a
good team or in an auto, but you know
as we'll as I do, Mother, that Mary and
I had no such chance. The trouble
was it was all work and money-get-
ting. When crops were good, Father
got more stock and machinery. He
didn't get the things we craved, the
things that would have kept us on the
farm. l can remember when Bert

WET WEATHER
AND CORN

Wet weather often causes shallow
roofing of corn, especially where the
land is level. Deep cultivation is
nearly always detrimental to the corn
crop and will be especially so in a sea-
son like this. The trials in the best
depth to cultivate corn at the N. d.
Experiment Station resulted in yields
of 81 bushels in favor of shallow
cultivation. Similar results have been
secured at the Iowa and Illinois Elk
pertinent Stations.

Jackson's father bought an auto. I
would make fun of it today. It wasn't
much more, l guess, than a gasoline
stove on a truck, but it ran and it took
the whole family all over the country,
to picnics, for pleasure rides on hot
nights, to town on business, or for a
lark. I used to stand and watch it go
by when I was blowing or working
around, and while I guess it was only
a "~one-lunger", and wheezed and
smelled frightfully, it looked awful
good to me then. But would Father
hear of us getting one? Not on your
life"

of butter from Siberia have been i'm
ported into California. Few Ameri-
cans are aware of the immensely of
the immensely of the dairy industry
in that vast region stretching from
Russia to the Pacific, and from the
Chinese Empire to the Artic Ocean
a domain as large as three Canadas.
This Siberian butter was pronounced
about second class. Some of it sold
on the eastern markets last year for
"a cents a pound.

Young American singers who were wont

from his office in the Century Opera
House an announcement of his intention
to open a conservatory under the name
of the Aborn Glasses for Operate Train
ing. Mr.. Aborn's experience in opera has
covered period Of thirty years. during
most OF which time he has been his own
stage director. During the two seasons
of the Century Opera Company the actual
stage management and direction were
