DUTCH SHIPS WILL
CARRY GRAIN OVER

Holland has decided to send 10000
tons of shipping to South America, to
take back the remainder of the
100000 tons OF grain allotted to the
Netherlands on March 81, at the time
America took over the Dutch vessels
in United States ports, it was an:
nounced at the Shipping Board.
Because of the submarine menace
Holland had been reluctant to risk
her ships to take back the grain. She
had secured $4,000 tons from the
United States, and the remainder has
been waiting at South American ports
for several months. Because of the
"change in the military situation" it
was stated, the Netherlands govern

NEW YORK, Sept: 11.--Nearly all

gains in the early dealing at the open
ing OF the Stock Exchange this morn
ing. There was q noticeable decrease
in the supply as prices moved upward.
The most Importance was attached
to trading in Liberty bonds, the sec:
ond As advancing from 94.46 at the
close yesterday to es, while the third
AIS rose from 90 to e7.10 and the
second AIS advanced to es.
The strength of these bonds was
due to the request made by the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury for Congress
sional action to make these issues
exempt from taxes for a time The
Liberty SIS declined from 101.40 10
101.
The steel stocks were active and
strong, Steel common moving up y, &c
no. Union Pacific was q higher, at
124b, and Reading was up n. at SS u.
The early advance was not main
tanned during the rest Of the fore
noon. The higher prices brought N
moderate supply, causing general
recessions in which all the early
gains were entirely wiped out
Distillers Securities was a weak
feature, dropping 1% to 54h. with
the selling in that stock OF q liQut-
dating character.
The railroad stocks were fairly
steady. Trading in the Liberty bonds
continued active, with sharp reac-
tions from the early high level. The

FIRST TO ADOPT POSTAGE STAMP
United State. Was Seven Lears Late.

United States Was Seven Lears Late.
Brazil was the first country to take
up the new invention, which Sir Ro-
land Hill, Kinderminster. England, in
duced the English government to adopt
in its present form, in 1910. Russia
adopted the postage stamp next in
1915: then Switzerland, in 1916, apd on
March 3. 1S47, the congress of the
United States authorized the issue Of
postage stamps in the form we now
know them.
Stamped envelopes were the form of
postage used first. and they were used
first 10y NJ. de Valayer, who owned a
private post line in the city Of Paris.
Over a century later, in 1858, NJ. de
Chamouset, also owner Of a private
post, issued printed postage to be at
tached to letters.
In Spain, in 1915, and in Italy also.
stamped covers for mail matter were
tried; but 1t was not until 1910 that
stamps, as we know them now, were
put into use. The denominations in
the United States were at first scent
and a Decent stamp. but a reduction
Of rates in 1851 on postage gave new
set of stamps, which were valued at
one, three, five ten and twelve cents,
respectively.
Postage in the United States was
based first on the zone system. Before
1S45 the postal rate on letters varied
from six cents for carrying a letter a
distance Of 30 miles to % cents for car
rying a letter over 400 miles. In 1S45
a reduction in the postage was made to
five cents for 300 miles or less and 10
cents for any distance above that.
In 1851 the rate was fixed at three
cents for each half ounce and fraction
thereof for every 5000 miles and six
cents for any greater distance within
the United States. In 1883 the postage
was reduced to two cents for a letter
Weighing half ounce and less and
provided its destination was not over
5000 miles. In 1885 congress decided
that two cents was sufficient to carry
a letter weighing an ounce and less to
all parts of the United States and
Canada.-Kansas CITY Star,

man were Implicated he could not be-
tray one without betraying the other.
And If the business down there in the
corral were lawful, then he must think
of some other means. At any rate, the
thing to do now was to make sure.
The two in the corral came out and
closed the gate behind them, and the
first man kicked apart the embers Of
a small fire and afterward busted HIM
self with the ground, either looking for
tracks or covering them up. They
came q little way along the side Of the
bluff, mounted and rode up toward
where the lookout waited. And one Of
them rode a dark bay and was slim
and tall and wore a gray hat.
Ward glanced at Rather standing
half asleep with reins dropped to the
ground. He reached out, took the
reins and led the horse farther down
under the shelter Of the ledge. Rat
tier pricked up his ears at the sound
Of those other riders, but he did not
show enough interest to nicker greet
ing. He was always self centered
beast and was content to go his way
alone, like his master.
Ward stood up, where he could see
the rim of the bluff over the ledge of
lava rock. He might get closer view
and see who was the lookout, and he
might be seen. For that contingency
he kept his fingers close to his gun.
He heard their scrambling progress.
Now and then one of the horses sent
a little rock bounding down into the
canyon, whereat the cattle in the corral
moved restlessly around the small in
closure.
They came closer after they had
gained the top. Ward, leaning against
the dull gray rock before him, heard
the murmur of their voices. Once he
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1918-01-21

caught the unmistakable tones of the
man he would like to kill. ".Ill keep
cases and git him." Plotting against
some poor devil, as usual, Ward
thought and wondered IL the man knew
he lived in this part Of the country. If
he did, it might easily be-
"1'n keep cases some myself, you
reptile" he muttered under his breath.
You won't get me again, II that's
what you've got in mind"
They went on, and presently Ward
was looking at their backs as they
rode over the ridge. He stood for
some time staring after them with
what Billy Louise called his gimlet
look. He was breathing shortly from
the pressure he had put upon his self
control, and he was thinking, thinking.
The silence came creeping in on the
heels Of the faint, interrupted sound
of their voices. Ward took q long
breath, discovered that he was grip
ping his gun as though Ills life depend
ed on hanging to it and rubbed his
numbed fingers absently After min
ute or so he mounted and rode down
to the corral.
Five dry cows and two steers snort
ed at his approach and crowded against
the farther rails. Ward gave Rather
u touch of the spurs, rode close to the
fence and stood in his stirrups while
he studied the bunch.
"Hell!' he said when the inspection
was over and dropped back into tho
saddle while he gazed unseeingly at
the canyon wall. 1t was a very real
hell that his mind saw-a hell made
by men wherein other men must dwell
In torment because of their sins or the
sins Of their fellows.
Seabeck's brand Vas big v, bad
brand to own, since 1t favors revision
at the hands Of the INSCRIPTIONS.
These cattle were Seabeck cattle, and
their brand had been altered. For tho
right s. mt Of the v had been extended
little and curled into 6. so that in
time the brand would stand casual in
spection as Y8 monogram-Ward's
own brand. The work was crude, pur-
posefully crude. The v had not been
returned enough to make It look fresh.

would make it stand out fresh brand
for long time in case Of delay in
the proceedings, as Ward knew per-
fectly well.
So he sat there and looked over the
fence and saw himself convicted
'rustler." There was the evidence all
ready to damn him utterly before a
jury. They would be turned loose on
the range near his claim, and they
would be found before the scabs had
haired over. It was good time for
rustling. Roundups were over for the
winter, and the weather would con1ne
range riding to absolute necessity.
OF course the work was coarse-so
coarse as to reflect against his intelli-
gence-but when brands are worked
over and the culprit has been caught
the law is not too careful to give the
prisoner credit for brains.
