gests that the Father Go to Work

Provision for the care of the four chill
dren of William and Martha C. Pinkham,
who since June have been residing In
shack lin Chelsea, not far distant from
the National Home barns, was a matter
that gave Judge Lancaster Of the munich

children are eight. four and two years
and seven months

and notified Mrs Hunt Of the case, so

ST. LOUIS TO SEEK
PRICE ADJUSTMENT

St Louis, Aug. S1.-The Merchants
Exchange Of St. Louis. it was learned
today, is preparing to protest against
the St Louis wheat price as fixed by

ground that the St Louis rate-two
cents bushel lower than the Chicago
basic price, and three cents higher
than the Kansas City price will dis
criminate against this market. The
advantage to the two rival markets, it
was stated, would be great enough to
divert all but 100000 bushels Of the
