Oats.
Oats showed independent strength

oats deliveries from first hand were
likely to fall off sharply.

Higher prices on hogs and cereals

Later abundance OF dema~d coupled
with some liquidation kept the market

The men who went to work on the
Panama canal learned q good deal
about the amoeba, for when they
drank water containing these micro
scopic creatures they developed dis
ease which staggered the physicians,
and one which required months and
months to cure. The popularity OF
the amoeba is that they reproduce
themselves like many other very low
types of creatures. 1 :. :" '''T,ahe NJ

The First Headlight.

The first headlight was carried not
by a locomotive, but by q winged in
sect-the lantern fy. Nobody knows
lust why the lantern fly carries lam
tern. Very likely it is for the pur-
pose Of notifying insects Of Ike spe-
cies and opposite sex Of Its where
abouts. But the contriyance is wholly
unique Of Its kind. The front part OF
the lantern fy's head is extended In
such way as to form hollow, bulb
GUS structure that Tin q dead-and-
dried specimen) has Q paperllke con-
sistency. When the insect flies at
night the papery bulb is Illuminated.
BY what? Nobody can say, except that
it Is a phosphorescent light, and the
nature Of that IS q puzzle to science.

| You state, IF way can not be

| hopeless, IL seems clear on the facts
before us that q revision and modifica-
| tion Of the fabric of rates to meet these

| You seem to overlook two very salient
facts:
First. the purpose Of the surplus
over one thousand million dollars which
our railroads have been permitted to
accumulate during the past twenty-five
or thirty years: and second, the enor-
nous increase in traffic during the past
few years.
.Tt Is true that the cost OF labor and
of railroad supplies has gone up; but It
is also true that there has been such
a remarkable increase In traffic, that
over and above all these added ex-
penses, American railroads as a whole
during the fiscal year ended June 80,
1917. earned net more than IN any other
year, with only one exception, in their
entire history.
THE interstate commerce commits
sion, on June 90, 1917, rendered their
decision in the Is per cent case. The
record showed that the eastern rail-
roads as whole last year earned over
1914 per cent on all their capital stock.
This was net above all expenses. above
all taxes. and above all interest on
bonds and debt. And yet the commits
sion gave these eastern carriers an adj
vance Of approximately $10o.0oo.0oo.
Last year was a phenomenal year and
the commission undoubtedly antici-
pated decline to some extent, espe-
cia,ly during the coming winter.
You can not have a peak year
every year This never has been and
never viii be in any industry on earth.
4 careful estimate OF future earnings
was made by the commission and the
amazing fact has developed since that
decision. that. the actual net earnings
OF these eastern railroads, instead OF
falling below or eaualing. have actually
exceeded the expectations OF the COM
mission. This fact will be conclusively
established Of record.

HAD THOUGHT FOR HORSES
Drivers Regard for Faithful Animals
Proved That His Heart Was In
the Right Place.

A man, who was driving a heavy
hauling wagon one morning recently
in a New Jersey street. stopped his
horses suddenly and hurried across
the street to bakery wagon. His had
been an early breakfast. and now the
pangs of hunger increased as he saw
nice, fat sugar-coated doughnuts.
Returning presently with a five-cent
bag of the dainties, he accOsted one
of his horses:
"Hey, Bill, have one on met"
Bill looked lovingly ut his owner and
greedily swallowed the food.
And Jerry, the other horse, was not
forgotten. But when the driver with
"Old pard, have One," offered him one
he smelled it carefully, but mindful Of
his weak digestion, perchance, rel
fused with gentle shake of his
head.
Bill, still hungry, ate the second
doughnut, while the driver climbed
back on the wagon munching his cake,
wholly unconscious that he had shown
one observer q beautiful trait of char
acter.-Indianapolis News.

They ran we'll, and they ran deter
minedly. Legar. realizing that they
were gaining on him, and further real
izing that he could not keep up his
gait for long, veered suddenly toward
the river, where road-builders' tool
shed stood at the extreme end OF
rock-cut along the cliff-top. Through
the doorway, of this shed he darted,
with his two pursuers, now Joined by
a third officer, not a hundred yards be-
hind him.
He had hoped, in diving into that
empty building, to throw his pursuers
off his track, if only for a few mo-
ments But in this he was disappoint:-
ed, just as he was disappointed In fna-
ing that the shack he had entered pos
sessed no second exit or entrance. And
as he stared quickly about he realized
that he had unwittingly entered a trap.
Running to the far end of the shack,
he sent his wooden arm crashing
through the window, leaped to the sill,
and stared out. Below him lay the
Hudson. Crouching low, h. leaped
out into space and then dropped like a
plummet to the river below.
"We've lost him!" gasped the fore
most of the pursuers, crossing to the
shack and staring breathless through
the shattered window sash.
He's done for," cried the second
man. mo guy can take that drop and
BY God. we're wrong! He's up!
He's striking out for shore!"

Golden was about to reply in the AZ
firmative to this self-obvious statement
when he was interrupted by the en-
trance of his daughter.
But suppose our fugitive" said
the serene-eyed girl as she smiled
down on the somewhat startled police
captain, had enemies who seemed at
the moment stronger than he was and
at the same time found himself in pos
session OF something which 1t was es-

It seem natural for him to 60 where
he'd be least likely to be found?"
The russet-faced captain blinked
stolidly up at her.
When an honest man has some
thing it seems dangerous to hold, he
goes to the police for protection. When

about losing his swag, he beats it to
