CHARLEY IS ALWAYS oBLIGING

Charles Brown, who rustles bus
mess for the American Hotel or any
other hotel by which he may be en-
ployed, is generally accredited with
being one of the most obliging hotel
rustlers in this part of Kansas 1t
has long been known that he would
do almost anything for the accom-
mediation of guest of the hotel or
for even a prospective guest, but to
just what extent his courtesies would
extend has not been fully tested out
One day last week he met the jitney
as usual and, as he always Is, was
right there ready to take the grips
of anyone who stepped from the
train and consented to a willingness
to go to his hotel. An elderly lady
stepped from the train and Charley
was right there with his reach for
her grip and his kindly words ssHoteI,
1ady2'' which was evidently not heard
by the lady and who also nnisunder-
stood Charley's reach for the grip.
Also, she was expecting someone by
the name of Charley to meet her, for
she asked, t'Arent you going to kiss
me CharIey?''
s'Sure'' said Charley and the oscul-
alton followed.
Just then a younger lady stepped
from the train and seeing what was
going on, exclaimed: @sWhy, that isn't
him, Ma" whereupon the elderly lady
commenced an apology and explana-
ton to Charley and as promptly Char
ley informed her "Oh, that's all right
I got a good smack out of it anyway
I always try to be accommodation"
The foregoing also reminds US thai
old people are not the only victims OF
mistakes made at the depots. About
one year ago a young man of this
town went to the depot to meet 'EDor-
othy." He got Dorothy" all right
but it was not the one he was looking
for.

EARLY MILLING WHEAT
FOUND MORE CHALKy

Milling wheat seen so far this year
is reported to be more chalky than
that harvested inst year and thus not
quite as desirable for flour The per-
centage OF gluten seen in the samples
80 far received Is slightly less than
last year. indicating that 1t will min
slightly less. The absence of rains,
however has tended to leave the pro-
Portion of gluten still relatively high.
Millers are anxious, however, to get
wheat with which to start operations.
Mills in many Instances are known TO
have paid a small premium in order
u get started early, but Portland and
Spokane millers are said to have flat
j. refused any premiums. This state
ment is contradicted in some circles.
however. one purchase was reported
today OF a portion Of crop for inn
mediate delivery for milling. The
premium paid was not divulged.
Farmers are holding their wheat
this year in hopes of a rise In the ba-
sic price. Where last year at this
time wheat was coming into one
warehouse door and out the other in
to cars the condition this year is very
different. Farmers are in no hurry to
get their grain into the warehouses
and when IL does reach there, they are
content to leave II for some time. The
early bulletins issued by NJ. II. Houser
were misinterpretcd by farmers and
they firmly believe that the govern
ment will raise the basic price in Aus
gust.
Dealers. however, are of the belief
that the price now fixed will stand
and that no premiums will be offer
ed. They are unable to so convince
farmers, however, and as a result SELL
ing has been slow so far. Despite
bulletins from the grain administra-
tor for this district that premiums are
hardly a possibility, no exchanges OF
CONSEQUENCE are being made.

THIEVES BREAK INTO
3 BUSINESS HOUSES

For the second time within a month
tho Pendleton Cash Market. sos East
Court, was entered by thieves who es-
cHped with n few pieces Of small
change in the cash drawer and left
tEeir traces by eating cherries and
tantaloupes. The amount taken was
not known this afternoon, although
said to have been slight. The safe
vas untouched.
Two other business houses, the Do
nestle Laundry and the Liberty Mar
ket. were entered during the night
and in the latte case $3.50 in the cash
drawer taken. The money had been
left there for i farmer. No money
was taken from the laundry and at
Eeither place was the safe touched.
Entrance to the two markets was
gained by breaking open locks on the
front doors. while the laundry was
entered through an opening to the
coal bir. Following n fire in the bin
a few days ago the opening was not
sealed up and the thieves made their
way in. The door to the office was
removed by taking the bolts out of the
hinges and the cash register was
broken open, only to be found
empty.

night. Police officers are at work on |
