BETWEEN $3.50 AND $2.75.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 30.--A govern
ment fixed price of from $3.50 to $2.75
per bushel probably at a Chicago ter
minal, was predicted by Col. G. Fl
March, Litchield, Mimi, public safety
commissioner, on his return from
Washington. where he and other mem
bers of Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota conference were heard
by Chairman Garfield of the federal
price fixing committee.
The Minnesota delegates urged that
the price be fixed on the Minneapolis
terminal, as the biggest in the coun-
try, and where wheat is normally &c
below quotations.
Il shall be very much surprised if
the price is fixed lower than $780,
the colonel said.

The Prodigal's
Return
But He Was
A Substitute
By WILLARD BRAKEMAN

49,
When Sam Bartlett at sixteen went
away from home without bidding his
parents or his little sister Ethel good
by, not communicating with them aft
erward. he wrecked the comfort of
the family. His mother died within
few years, and her death left the old
man desolate indeed. His eyesight and
his hearing were both impaired. His
daughter Ethel. poor girl, had a hard
time with him. To read to him was
difficult, since she was obliged to shout,
and he could not see to read himself.
Ethel loved her father, but it was
natural that she should wish for some
thing more inspiring than taking care
OF broken down old man. She was
but eleven years old when her brother
went away and fourteen when her
mother died When at times she would
have a temporary respite from the
care Of her father, like many another
girl, she would dream of the prince
who would come to marry her and give
her the comforts of home that would
be her own-and his.
One morning there was knock at
the door Ethel was upstairs and did
not hear the summons. 1t sounded
again and this time loud enough for
Mr. Bartlett to hear. He went to the
door and opened 1t. There stood
young man..
Il am looking for the home Of Mr.
Bartlett" said the stranger. "Have
struck the right house?''

qualty OF the peDDleS anu Oh tne
binder.
In general, 1t has been found that
satisfactory gravel will conform the
following limits as to percentages Of
fine and coarse material:
1. Material retained on a X-inch
sieve, 55 to rs per cent.
2. Material retained on a A-inch
sieve, not less than Is per cent.
3. Material (clay) passing a 200
mesh sieve for the surface course, 8 to
10 per cent.
A. Material (clay) passing a 200
mesh sieve for the foundation course,
10 to 10 per cent.
The sand should be at least twice
as great as the clay content; and the
sand and clay, when thoroughly mixed,
should be sufficient to All the voids be-
tween the larger gravel particles.
The percentages given above usually
will conform with this requirement.
A satisfactory mechanical analysis
Of a gravel sample along the lines In
dicated above frequently may be made
In the field by first separating the
coarse material from the fine by e
of a A-inch mesh screen and then
washing the clay out Of the fine ma
terial, as described In the discussion

THE NECESSITY OF GOING OVER
 DETAILS

While allowing the difficult details of Squad movements to sink into his mind, the new soldier would do we'll at this point to look back over the ground he has traversed. He should refresh his mind, so far as necessary, upon what he has previously learned, and he will at once discover differ ence between his present grasp of military facts and their requirements. The more he learns, the more reason able, necessary and Illuminating be- comes that which he has already learned.
 For example, the new soldier who has been taught how to execute Squad Right" does not need the same amount of explanation for the necessity of discipline and obedience as at the beginning. He realizes by this time that no squad movement would be possible unless each indi- discipline. He does not have to be taught the reason for learning to stand properly, since he sees that no Squad could come to the position of Attention and dress its line in prac- tical military fashion unless each in- dividual first came to Attention. This does not mean that the new soldier and even the partially trained, soldier will not find it necessary again and again to go over the details of how to perfect himself in these essentials, but 1t Is doubtful whether he would here after have to be told why.
 He has learned how to stand how to step-forward,~ backward. sideways, the half-step-and Mark Time. He has learned how to face in any direc- tion-Right Faee, Left Face. About Face, and the Half Face, which creates the proper angle for the Oblique March. He has learned how
