(feathered variety

A chicken (feathered Variety
breaks into print in the New York
paper, in a dispatch from Davenport,
Iowa The headline writer in the
New YORK sheet finds the limitations
of column rules too narrow to admit
OF the word Davenport, SO naturally
he turns to the best known city in
the world, and writes his caption
thusly:
broadway or Keokuk, Chickens
Chicken"
Here's the story under a Daven-
port date line:
More remarkable than the tale OF
the goose that laid the golden egg is
the story Of the chicken that ate a
$500 diamond out Of ring.
H. L. Walbourne recently pur-
chased $50 chickens and put them In
coop behind his shop. While IN
loading the chickens he struck his
ring forcibly against the coop; loosen
ing the stone. Unable to find # in
the coop Walbourne followed with 4
wholesale slaughter Of fowl.
The missing diamond was found in
the crop Of the fftieth bird killed.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept I'll
Elimination of profiteering by moral
force"-a huge revolving fund placed
/ in the hands of the president by CON
gress with authority to purchase sup
plies to prevent extortionate prices
was suggested by Governor James n.
Cox here today.
Cox previously suggested that this
method be used to prevent sugar
prohteering, but has decided it could
be extended to all commodities. Cox's
view is few purchases would have to
be made, but the moral force" OF
the president having such power
would eliminate profteertng.
1T would go like the musket be-
hind the door, he said.
The Mexican question was expect
ed to come to the forefront as Cox
travels eastward across New Mexico
and Arizona tomorrow and he is pre-
pared to meet it by referring to the
democratic platform. His personal
view is the United States should CO.
operate with the present regime in
Mexico in its effort to establish itself
firmly, and formally recognize 1T when
proof has been given of ability.
The democratic nominee now Is
directing an attack ON that part of
the republican press which is taking
order from the senatorial oligarchy

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Liberal re-
ceipts with a light demand caused a
sharp drop in grain futures on the
Chicago board of trade today. Wheat
led in the decline, dropping from six

crop weather for corn caused a gen.
eral weakness in the trading in that
grain. Provisions dropped with the
grains.
December wheat opened unchanged

close. March wheat was up ~ at
