eiSsEE PETITION IS
 CIRCULATED TO TAKE
 TAX OFF SOFT DRINKS

BISREE. July 25.-The local soda emporiums are trying to get up a large petitioni congress to eliminate the tax on this line of merchandise \ multitude of people all over the country are annoyed by the 10 per cent federal tax on soft drinks and on ice cream sold at the counter, those behind the petition say. While it is true that the tax amounts to a few pennies, yet to those of limited means who want 10 indulge in these mild lux uries, the addition of these pennies to the COS; works a hardship. the mer- chants say.
 Ii would be more equitable. they contend, to let the popular delicacies go free of taxes. and, to make up for loss Of revenue from them by an increased tax on real luxuries-ex- rensive things which can better be dispensed with. Those who can af- ford to indulge in expensive luxuries far better can afford to pay a war tax.( even though at a stid rate, than those who are called upon to pay a penny or more tax on soda fountain beverages, is the argument of the men circulating the petition.

Beans make big drop!
One good old food staple is on the

The humble bean promises to
again appear on the poor mans
table.
While most other foods have tar
ried at the high price levels to which
war conditions bosted them, or
have settled back only slightly prac-
tically all kinds of dried beans are
astonishingly cheaper than they
were last year.
Here are some of the figures given
out by the bureau of markets:
Since March Of last year whole
sale prices of New York pea beans
have tumbled $6.25 to $6.75 a hum
dred pounds; Michigan beans fell
off $3.50 to S625; California whites
dropped $6.25; white California
limas declined $3.50 to $3.50, and

sues to Establish Greater
Volume of Trade.

NEW YORK. March 1S.-Stocks
fiuctuated over a wide range OF val
ues today with sentiment generally
mixed. Texas Oil. Mexican Petrol
cum and Studebaker furnished a
great part of the volume Of trade
all establishing new high marks on
the present movement. After two
hours Of decided strength selling or
ders appeared causing a good reac-
ton in the entire list.
This was probably due TO profit
taking by people who believe the
advance had gone far enough for
the present. Despite the heavy &C
emulation of stocks the past week
there is no indication of any tight
ening in call money rates. in fact
there seems to be plenty Of funds OBJ
tainable for stock market purposes
The undertone appears strong but
market gets in a over-bought condi-
ton at times, the breaks which oc-
cur from time to time put the list
in a better technical position to re-
spond TO any good buying or good

While in the army, Mr. Jordon
received a letter saying that his

wrote his mother telling her to get
the girl and keep her until his re-
