Wheat Continues To
Make Record Prices

Chicago, Uct. 2o.--Wheat continued
to break records on the board of trade
today and for the second time this
week seemed to threaten the high
water mark set in 1898 when Joseph
Letter cornered the market. Wheat
for delivery next December sold at
one time at $1.71A and, although the
closing price was two cents under this
figure, the tensity Of the situation
was not relieved.
Another advance in the price of
-four was reported at Minneapolis and,
according to a dispatch from Column
bus, O., the National Master Bakers
association announced that 10 bakers
filed during the three summer
months because of the high price Of
flour.
In Chicago, B. H. Dahlheimer, presi-
dent of the Master Bakers association
of Chicago, announced that the asso-
citation would meet Monday to start
a campaign through congressman to
obtain an embargo on the export Of
wheat and flour until the domestic
situation is relieved.
Mr. Dahlheimer said that at the
present rate Chicago, which recently
was called upon to pay six cents for
Bounce loaf, would have to endure
still another raise.

Tracv's Third Addition Sale of
Lots Was a Complete Success

The sale of lots of the Tracy's
Third addition to Valley City that was
conducted by the Home Realty & In
vestment Co., of Emporia, Kan, was
a success in every particular. Every
one Of the 70 lots were sold, and it is
a conservative estimate to state that
in the spring from Is to 20 houses will
be erected on lots in the addition.
These homes will be modern and o.
the very latest class of houses.
In addition to the 70 lots sold one
was given away. There was no string
attached to the gift. All that was nee
essary to have chance to draw the
lot was to register and 90 out to the
site and deposit your ticket. The
drawing was held at the Office of the
company in the Wiese & Podratz Pr
ano CO. building Wednesday evening
at o'clock. The judges were H. f.
West, Ed Jacobson and S. Varco. The
method of drawing was to deposit the
numbers and draw so from the total,
the last one drawn to be the winning
number. No. "a was the fiftieth drawn
and was held by w. D. Hone, who was
declared the winner. John Tracy was
present as attorney-in-fact for the
owner Of the property and delivered
the deed for the free lot.
Considering the short time the sale
was on it must be admitted to have
been remarkably successful. It estab.
fishes the fact that good real estate
in Valley City can be sold at fair
prices when business methods are
used in conducting sales. This sale
