LACK Of CARS
WHEAT PILED
on THE GROUND
LIMIT PASSED ON STORAGE CA
PAcITY - 1900 MORE CARS ARE
NEEDED TROUBLE CAUSED
IN EAST.

Oklahoma City, Aug. S.-Although
the wheat market has continued high
for the past week, the movement Of
Oklahoma grain has fallen off consid-
erably since the big rise in prices
came. Grain buyers Of Oklahoma
City say this is due partly to the fact
that cars cannot be had fast enough
and partly to the belief that the wheat
is bound to go very much higher be-
fore winter.
The car shortage has become very
serious recently. Reports have been
coming in to local offices that in some
sections of the state buyers have been
piling the grain on the ground. This
has been done in the Alfalfa county
towns, more than any other place.
Elevators in many towns have shut
their doors and are refusing to take
the grain except on contract for fu-
ture delivery.

1900 Cars Needed.

It is estimated that 1000 more cars
are needed to handle the Oklahoma
crop than are available now.
That the problem of getting freight
cars TO carry the grain is more SER
ious than ever before was the opin-
ion expressed yesterday by L. C. Will
liams of Wichita, Kan Mr.. Williams
is commercial agent for a railroad.
Some railroads are denying that
shortage in cars exists, but there is
no lodging the question" Mr.. Will
liams said. "How long It will last is
uncertain. but It is safe TO say that
very few more cars than are now in
use over the western lines will be
set free wit, IN sixty days.
Cause Traceable to East.
"The trouble comes from the fact
that so many cars are being used as
warehouses in the east. Terminal fa
cilities are filed to the bursting
point. The movement Of war cTpplios
has taken up all the ship room and
other lines have had TO wait, Count
less thousands Of tons Of al manufac-
tured goods are stored in the ware
houses, and these not being large
enough. goods have been left in the
cars which carried them to the east"

EVEN THE ANIMALS

In a shop recently a well-known
actress, who is noted for her peren-

of alligator skin. The shopkeeper,
who had none of that particular sort,
brought out instead some smooth
leather. "And you tell me this is al
Tgator skim" objected the actress.
'eWhy, where are all it's wrinkles
"Ah, madam" replied the willy
dealer, who knew his customer,
wrinkles are out of vogue. The cor
rect alligator bag is made from the
skin of an alligator that has been
massaged."

This Is the word that is going the

China will have a cabinet, a pre-
mier and a congress-" said General
wudan today. "If the power rests
with the premier we win not see so
many internal squabbles as before,
and the political fight will rest In the
selection OF the premier, not the presi-
dent. China will need a strong man
as premier, and the National party
believes 1t can furnish man who viii
be able to handle the situation.
with q congress elected, and the

gress, the political fights which would
tend TO prevent the upbuilding OF
China will be eliminated. DR.. Sun Yat

rfosity by finding out all her perfec-

There is always something new; a
handsel for the real traveller.
So the books of men like Haw-
thorne, Emerson, Howell and others
who write of much travelled places are
more interesting than the books which
are filed with adventures in Borneo
or Yucatan.
The endeavor of certain persons to
find new fields is an evidence of their
superficiality or want of sincerity.
