WHEAT PRICES ADVANCE.

1.-The advance in freight rates ON
June "a will, in justice to the farmer.
necessitate an advance in the price
of wheat at the principal Mississippi
valley and eastern terminals OF a few
cents a bushel," says Herbert Hoover,
United States food administrator, In
a telegram to Mr.. Herreid.
"The advance will be worked out 80
as to equalize as far as may be pos
sible the loss that the farmers would
otherwise incur through the increase
in rates.
"Details of rate advances will prob
ably not be known until June 25th, at
which date we are assembling a com.
mittee Of traffic experts to consider
what actual advance in prices Is
necessary in compensation.
ut is impossible to complete such
a plan for a few days after the above
date.
ut is our intention, so far as the
peculiar character Of the rate advance
enables us to do, SO to work out q
plan that 1t will leave the farmer in
the same intrinsic position that he
was in before that date"

ISLAND AND NEW YORK
Been Made to Meet the De.
mands Of Every Class.

Long Island Is the safety valve and
salvation of New York. 1t is hard to
see how the big city could get through
a summer without this hundred miles
Of breeZe-swept sand, which 1t can
reach in a few minutes by bridge or
tube or ferry, writes Niksah.
1t Is a matter of endless admiration
how Long Island has been made to
meet the needs of New Workers. Of
every taste and income. 1t has cheap
beaches, where anyone may get a swim
for a quarter, and exclusive beaches
where $4,000 a year Is regarded as
poverty. 1t has sport beaches full
Of cafes and music, and quiet beaches,
where old ladies knit on shady porches.
1t has millionaire suburbs from which
the many are ingeniously excluded;
and middle-class suburbs with their
neat little cottages. looking like ad-
vertisements out Of paint catalogs
stuck primly in the middle of correct
little lawns; and suburbs for those
who have just enough money to get
out Of town In the summer. Most Of
these latter are situated In the lagoon
district between Rockaway beach and
the island proper. They stand on stills
In the shallow water, in the midst Of
wide green salt meadows. They are
implanted. for the most part, but
tanned into soft grays and puppies by
the sea air. They are alive with chill
dren and stout fishermen with long
poles decorate all the wharves, while
the narrow channels between the
houses are full Of rowboats and little
launches. There Is more picture and
color in this bit Of Long Island than
In all the rest of 1t put together.

Worlds Champion SpeIler.

Prof. David Jones, the worlds cham
pion speller, retired on a well-earned
pension after schoolteaching for so
years In Missouri. notes an exchange.
For SO years the champion issued an
annual challenge to all corners to
spell against him. Many tried to
wrest from him his title, but lone sue
ceeded.
His record is $4,000 words correctly
spelled straight off the reel at n sit
ting without a single mistake. Pro
fessor Jones defeated In spelling con-
tests heads of universities, famous
teachers, scholars. authors, and profess
sional proof-readers. and his sideboard
is loaded with silver cups and other
similar trophies, won all over the u
try at the once popular spelling
bees" With him spelling is an art.
just as music or painting or sculp-
ture is an art with others. He pounces
on and treasures a rare and difficult
word as eagerly as an enthusiast does
on q scarce and elusive, butterfly.

MORE WORK FOR BUSY BEES
Artificial Comb, Patented by q Woman,
Enables Larger Output by
the Honey Producers.

Undoubtedly the most important in
vention ever produced by a woman was
the machine for making artificial comb
foundation for beehives. The idea was
originated by Frances A. Durham, who
patented the contrivance In 1881, says
a exchange.
To produce material for comb build
ing is for the bee very expensive. 1t
uses up at least ten times as much OF
her gathered products, bulk for bulk,
as is required for honey making.
Hence the obvious economy OF provid-
ing her with a ready-made comb OF
beeswax turned out from a machine.
Another advantage is that all the
cells Of the artificial comb are made
Of worker" size, so that the eggs laid
In them by the queen bee (the mother
Of the hive) produce workers only and
no idle drones.
The workers build up the cell walls
on the "ground-ioor" pattern fur
nished for them. and (barring those
used for brood purposes) fill them
with honey. Being relieved Of the
bother and expense of making their
own comb foundation, their output Of
money is proportionately augmented.

Rinos and Moons Of Saturn.

The most distinctive feature Of
Saturn is his unique system Of rings,
writes Albert D. Watson in Journal Of
the Royal Astronomical Society Of
Canada. These are in the plane Of
Saturn's moons, with the exception OF
the outermost moon, which is appar-
emily retrograde in motion. The rings
consist Of meteOrs.
From the center Of the planet to
the circumference Of its outer ring
there are, first, the $500 miles of the
radius of Saturn. From the surface
of the sphere to the inner margin OF
the inner rings is 1900 miles. This,
which is known as the crepe ring, is
1880 miles in width and runs into
the middle ring which is 1900 miles
wide. Outside the middle ring Is a
space Of 1000 miles before the outer
ring, 10000 miles wide, is reached.
Saturn has ten moons, only one Of
which (Titan) is larger than ours. The
first four. like our own and some Of
the moons Of Jupiter, have been prov
en- to turn always the same surface
towards their primary. AS no excep-
ton to this rule has been found, it Is
likely that it obtains in the cases Of
all moons.

A POOR AN

"The kaiser himself is just as good
an American as She" says the editor
of the Bowdle, Is. d. Pioneer in
speaking of a woman in a neighboring
town who remarked that "she and
her family had not gone without
white bread so far and didn't intend
to do without it nj matter how long
the var lasted"
The Bowdle editors remarks as
they appear in the issue Of his paper
dated June 6, follow:
"The remark made recently by a
woman in a neighboring town to the
effect that she and her family had
not gone without white bread thus
far and didn't intend to do without 1t
no matter how long the war lasted,
must have a sweet sound to the
mother whose son is in the trenches
to save the land that produces the
wheat that makes the white flour for
the aforesaid woman and her family.
Would that there was some way to
separate the sheep from the goats
and to turn such people over to the
tender mercies Of the rapine hordes
OF their friend, the kaiser. The kaiser
himself is just as good an American
as she, and the hogs, hens, and horses
that eat the substitutes that she threw
to them are more patriotic and more
entitled to the respect Of decent peo-
pie"

SCHOOL MONEY TO LOAN

The department of School and Pub
lie Lands of this state, have school
money to loan on first mortgage loans,
the interest being 5%c. This is the
cheapest money that can be obtained.
Tht loans can run for a long time, as
the state does not care to have the
money, as long as the interest is paid
promptly.
In securing a loan from the Perma-
nent School Fund, there will be no
commissions to pay, all that is re-
CURED is to make an application, file
same with the County Auditor, and if
the loan is approved by the County
Board. the money will be ready, when
an abstract showing a clear title TO
the land is furnished by the borrow
err. The interest being SCI payable
semi-annually.

Such testimony is complete-the

I found it almost impossible to
s~traighten up. l used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they rid me of that trouble
entirely and | haven't had a pain or
an ache since using them"
NO TROUBLE SINCE
On October 16, 1917, Mr.. Iverson
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me
of a bad case of kidney trouble and
I have had no return Of it. l am al.

Tragedy OF Childhood.

Nothing is more despicable than to
deceive a child in any way. Their plas-
tic young minds receive and hold i'm
pressions that we can never eradicate,
try we ever so hard. In spite of all
the grOwnups car say the little ones
never feel the same love and respect
for those who have deceived them.
Even careless funmaking may leave
the scar which nothing can quite eradi-
cate. Do not break a promise to a
child, and do not lie to 1t. even in fun,
for the great tragedy Of childhood is
to lose faith.

The Tailor Who Paid Too Mu,

Asfhor of do Something! Be Somehmngr'
WAS buying a cigar last week when a man dropped into the
L shop and alter making a purchase told the proprietor that he had
started a clothes shop around the corner and quoted him prices
with the assurance OF best garments and terms.
After he lief. the cigar man turned to m and said:
"Enterprsng fellow, that, he'll get along"
But he won't" replied, "and, furthermore, III wager you
that he hasn't the sort of clothes shop that will enable him to-"
counter.
His theories are wrong" l explained; hes relying upon word
OF mouth publicity to build up his business and he can't interview
enough individuals to compete with a merchant who has sense
enough to say the same things he told you, to a thousand men, while
he is telling it to one. Besides, his method of advertising is too ex-
pensive. Suppose he sees a hundred persons every day. First of all,
he is robbing his business of its necessary direction and besides, he
Is spending too much to reach every mar he solicts"
II don't quite follow you"
We'll, IS the proprietor of a clothes shop his own time is SO

There is not a newspaper i'll town the advertising rate of which is
LOO per thousand circulation, for a space big enough in which to
display what he said to you"

It's only "the man who hasn't looked at it that way" who hest
tatcs for an instant over the advisability and proftableness of news
paper publicity.
Newspaper advertising is the cheapest channel of communica-
ton We established by man.. A thousand letters with one-cent
stamps, will easily cost fifteen dollars and not one envelope in ten
will be opened because the very postage is an invitation to the waste
basket.
If there were anything cheaper rest assured that the greatest
merchants in America would not spend individual sums ranging up
