sponded to these in her most grace
full manner.
The Raeford chapter had also an
ticipated entertaining her visitors at
| this time with special music render
ed by the Flora Mcdonald orchestra,
but weather conditions were such
that they, too, were unable to be
present.
After the roll call a very inter
esting and instructive address was
given by the State president Of the
U. D. c., Mrs. Thrash, the chapter
being fortunate in securing her pres
ence at this time.
The reports of delegates from Wis
iting chapters were then heard, the
Chicrea chapter of Dunn receiving
especial greetings from. Mrs. Town
send as this was the first time it had
been represented at a district meet
ing.
After a few matters of business
were disposed of the election of dis
trict leader for the coming term
was taken up, Mrs. L. T. Townsend
being unanimously reelected to that
office.
The ladies then adjourned to the
armory, where lunch suited to
tempt the most fastidious as well as
the most substantial appetite, was
served by the Raeford chapter.
AS a finishing touch to the occas-
ion, cream was served to the entire
delegation with the compliments of
the Sons of Veterans Of the town of
Raeford.

OATS ARE LOWER, TOO

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Trains of empty
brought about lower prices today for
corn. The market closed weak, u to
~ cents down. with January. 1908,
and May, 1.lSh to Lisa. Oats de-
clined y to l cent net, and provisions
fell IS to s1.05.
Reports from stations where one or
two empty cars a week has of late
been the rule sent word today that an
average of a dozen cars had been made
available. AS the cars thus supplied
will not run east of Chicago the be-
ginning of a genuine accumulation of
corn seemed reasonably assured. In
this connection easern demand
was being filled from the record crop
in Delaware. Maryland. New York and
Pennsylvania. Under such conditions
a little strength which unfavorable
weather developed in the market at
the outset gave way late in the day to
decided bearish sentiment and to an
accompanying material setback to
values.
Assertions that 100000 bushels of
oats would be delivered tomorrow on
December contracts did a good deal to
relax the oats market Moreover, bet
terment of the car situation attracted
much notice.
Holders of lard attempting to unload
today disclosed that provisions

Jesuit was a swift drop in prices.

for breakfast. And after that he and
Billy Bunny started on again on their
journey Of adventure, and by and BY,
after they had crossed two bridges and
coasted down maybe three and q half
hills, they came to an old mill which
was kept by Mother Miller with
dusty white wings and big black eyes.
And as It was very hot, Billy Bunny
stopped the Luckmobile and he anu
Uncle Lucky went over to the dam to
watch the water turn the big mil

Mother Miller. "for the waters very
cold and yeu might get the measles.
And then speckled trout poked his
head out Of the water and said:

And It's lots OF fun to swim about

IN HOT WEATHER.

yesterday was real corn weather. hot
and dry, the kind of weather that
makes corn and SETS every one worry
ing whether We hadn't ought TO have
good soaking rain. When II gets
good and hot we always begin to worry
over rain. When the weather report
says rising temperatures for central
Iowa, no relief in sight we start a
period OF resignation to crop failure
Not that it ever fails but because we
certainly seem to enjoy specializing on
what we'd do If ever an Iowa corn
crop should fail. So pretty soon we
shall hear corn can't stand it much
longer; corn IS firing bad on low
ground; this keeps up we won't have
half a CROP We produce that stuff as
seasonably as We do corn and oats.
Now the fact is that it wasn't SO
blamed hot yesterday by comparison
with other days in other years Last
summer when the mercury perched at
104 on the front porch it might be
said to be roosting high, but yester-
day, why man, yesterday was just good,
honest, necessary Iowa corn weather.
