RETAILERS ARE
BUYING FREELY
Wholesale Dealers Say Poo,
Crops Do Not Discour-
age the Merchants.

In spite of the prospects for a poor
crop in North Dakota this year,
wholesale dealers of Grand Forks re-
port that retail merchants throughout
the state are ordering practically as
freely as in former years, thus show
ing their confidence that business will
be brisk during the winter.
One wholesale firm reports that
sales to country retail merchants may
be slightly lower this year, due to the
poor crop, but that the difference is
negligible. Other firms report that
no difference in the size or variety of
orders is noticeable.
This action on the part of retail
merchants throughout the state in
placing their fall and winter orders
would indicate that they are confident
the business will be good this winter
regardless Of the poor crops.

PRICE OF, GRAIN
SUDDENLY DROPS

Chicago. Aug. 14.-Radical down
turns in grain and provision prices
took place today. Breaks we're largely
against high cost of living. Corn fell
8A cents a bushel to. 1.83; September
delivery and pork fell $2.35 a barrel.
Heavy selling vas the order Of the
day. Lowest prices prevailed near
the end Of trading. The initial weak
ness showed first in the hog market,
where supplies from the country were
again plentiful. Later it developed
that rural offerings of corn were more
liberal than has been the rule Of late.

HARD TO TRACE ITS DESCENT
Story Of the Standard Yard and It.
Origin Must Be Accepted With
Some Reservation.

The picturesque story Of the rela-
tfon between the length Of Henry LIS
arm and the standard yard which the
lord chancellor will disinter from the
walls OF Westminster palace is one
we should all like to accept, writes
a correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian. But the historical stand
ards have changed so often that there
must be many gaps in the chain Of
descent. II the yard and the pound
are as described they must be exact
copies Of the less romantic standards
Of the board of trade, which date from
no later than 1884 And why prosy
VfctOrians should have buried them in
q wall IL hard to understand. The
oldest standard in existence. 50 far as
l know. is the yard Of Henry VII.
which should be in the Jewel house.
but as 1t has only 1898 inches 1t
Is no longer good measure. Parlia-
ment had a standard troy pound and
q new yard constructed in leo. They
were deposited with the clerk to the
house Of commons. but in the fire of
1884 the pound was lost and the yard
injured. This yard was then lost sight
OF until 1891. when it was placed in
the lobby of the clerks residence. to-
gether with a standard stone of IA
pounds.

The principal of certain Indiana

time and all was quiet. Then one day
came the usual fight and. of course,
the inevitable lining up for tie

Before I punish you. I want yo1
to tell me what you were fighting
about this time" the principal told
the recreant ones.
Oil were silent. but finally the least
fighter spoke up. "Well, the boys up
at that building teased us and said
that we had the skinniest principal In
town. and we told them you weren't
skinny at all. but slender. and then
they began fighting.
Needless to say no one got thrashed.

However beautiful the French
dresses and gowns may be, the fact
remains that the American coat suits
outstrip them in style and beauty also.
Perhaps this is because no other woln-

saucer shaped, is here, out of which

closely around the throat and at the
TOP has wider piece SO made that 1t
stands. out and away from the face In
saucer fashion, 1t is often lined with
i shade contrasting well with the color
of the coat.
Much embroidery is to be used, we
hear, and buttons, too, and flying pan
els to give length. Indeed, some OF
these panels are most interesting, for
they float away apparently without
rhyme or reason from the top Of the
coat, but are really stOles to throw
around the neck and shoulders to give
extra warmth. Now and then they
are fitted on the underside with pock-
cts Of fur for the hands.
The pocket seems to be the supreme
ornament and is often huge patch OF
fur or tiny slit In the side Of the
skirt or the coat. Whatever: the coat,
cape wrap or one-piece dress may 9TH

is there somewhere. The vest will
