! lance 1t presents q most attractive pic
ture. From miles away in the desert
one can see the green mass of Bagdad
floating in the atmosphere and as one
approaches nearer along the dreary,
dusty track, its colored domes and
| gilded minaretS can be distinguished
showing above the palms and trees.
AS one enters the town most of this
is lost to sight and one finds oneself
in narrow winding street. The walls
on either side are usually very bare.
Every now and then one passes a
door, sometimes plain, sometimes quite
ornate with jolly brass door knockers.
Above, from the first floor are pro-
jecting Oriel windows, these, too, vary
ing from plain brick and timber to
carved wood Of great richness-with
pierced screens, often of very beauti-
fuI design. But be they plain or fanny,
they cast pleasant shadow on che
road beneath and incidentally block
out from view except for d glimpse
here and there, the dOmes or minarets
which were so noticeable from outside
the city walls.
Out of the maze of these narrow
streets one would never emerge had it
not been for the kindness of the Turk,
who very thoughtfully cut a broad
road right through the center of the
town in commemoration of the fall of
Kut. Now, in our day, we use it for
the main stream of traffic.
But the most charming feature Of
Bagdad is the river front and this
alone is sufficient to compel ones adj
miration for the city. Basra in COM
parison is all mud and shipping.
Amara is pretentious with a row of
buildings of uniform design facing on
a promenade, which reminds one too
much of a terrace on the front" of a
small seaside resort. Kut is pic
turesque too, but designed on scale
BETTING its size and Importance, and
with its mosques and public buildings,
the palms and the trees and more es-
peclally the numbers of delightful riv-
erside houses. with their verandas and
balconies and their exquisite little gar
dens overhanging the river, Bagdad
has a character and a charm all its
own.

CHICAGO PRICES DOWN

ON BOARD OF TRADE.
All Grains Take a Drop-Pork Falls
$3.50 a Barrel, Lard and
Ribs Slightly.

Chicago, Aug. Gold High Cost of
Living was dealt the heaviest blow in
many a day when President Wilson,
congress and the Chicago city council
made combined attack and sent
prices of several commodities on the
board of trade tumbling,
Pork fell $3.50 a barrel rye 10 to IL
cents, corn Az to III, and lard and
ribs slightly.
A factor in the sudden decline was
the order to release $132, 100000 worth
of army supplies to the people.
Another factor was the report the
government, thoroughly aroused over
the unrest due to high prices, had
planned TO fm rish millers with grain
at a less price than 1926, the guar
anteed price of the 1919 wheat crop,
and confine them to a nominal profit,
so the people may have cheap bread.
That the people are aroused is
shown by the speed with which they
overwhelmed Postmaster Garlic with
orders for the army supplies, to be

and no definite instructions, his mail
was flooded with orders and letters in

Washington for instructions.
In the city council, Alderman Ed
ward F. Cullerton offered a resolution
that all dealers in foods be required
to mark the price on a plain sign, so
none can be deceived.

In sections of the country where

In a recent investigation by the

that this difficulty can be almost en-

taken from standing plants and never
allowed to dry out, by the use Of a
lower temperature than has been Gus
tomary for making the termination
