But Trade Still Iunctire

Slightly higher prices in Japan and
an increasing number Of sales there,
according to recent cables, have made
the holders Of raw silks in this country
more firm in their price quotations
but as yet have not resulted in a re-
turn to normal trading. Manufacturers
Of silks are still waiting for some in
dlcatlon concerning the volume and
quality trend of future business.
Some manufacturers report few
more orders for fall goods, but as yet
future buying has not materialized in
sufficient quantity to give the manu-
tacturers any definite line on the trend
business will take.
Liquidation by some of the larger
loobers is in process and is being re-
1iected in some quarters of the retail
trade by special offerings of silks
said to have been purchased from
wholesalers at greatly reduced prices
Popular response to the price cuts is
still to be determined, according to the
manufacturers.

COITONS--Retailers Looking
For Goods at Lo,cer Prices

Many retailers who have followed
the movement of general price cutting
have moved their stocks of cotton
goods to such an extent that replen-
lshment is necessary. but they are
making extremely low bids for new
merchandise. 1t is felt that either
buyers or sellers will have to revise
their Ideas Of prices before much of
movement in finished goods takes
place. Some concessions are being
made by holders Of sheer fabrics of the
printed and novelty variety, mostly
IN the cheaper grades. Because Of
thelr seasonable character such goods
must be moved soon or carried over
INTO next year, and carrying over stock
IS ABOUT the last thing that any factors
IN the trade, from manufacturers.
through to the jobbers and retailers
are planning on doing.
lew sellers Of bleached goods have
reduced prices In conformity with the
new price basis established in gray or
diminished goods, but the staple estab-
llshed lines of bleached materials are
still held at former prices. In justi-
hcatlon OF this position, selling agents
for mills making branded fabrics as
sert that their prices have never ap-
proXlmated the peak reached in gray
goods some months ago

ENTERTAINMENT
LIBRARY BENEFIT
Rusty Hinge Musicians VIII
Give Entertainment for a
Very Worthy Cause

The Rusty Hinge musicians, COM
posed entirely of local talent, will
give an entertainment at the high
school auditorium next Friday eve
ming, the 18th, for the benefit of the
school library.
Those in. charge Of the program
say they have three objects in view.
The first one is to bring together as
much of the local talent as possible.
This is for their own personal good.
The second object is to furnish some
wholesome, elevating and inspiring
entertainment for the community.
This is for the public good. The third
object is to deepen the general in
terest in the public school, and to
create more enthusiasm in the school
itself, and, primarily, to enlarge the
library. There is no public fund pro-
vided for this purpose, and the il
brary is woefully lacking. Every cent
will 60 to the library fund. Those
obtained through this entertainment
taking part on the program are CIV
ing their time and talent gratuitious-
ly and cheerfully with the sincere
hope of bringing some pleasure to
those who attend and of contributing
something to the educational advan-
tages of our future citizens.
The following is an outline of the
program to be rendered:

MAKES him MAD
Dempsey's Manager Fails to
Get Hearing From Carpenter.
Now Afraid Frenchman Will
Refuse to Fight Champ.
HENRY L. FARRELL.


New York, July s.-With Jack
Kearns and Francois Descamps both
in town. the Dempsey Carpenter fight
seems no nearer a reality than it was
a month ago when the F'renchman
steamed up the bay Grating in broken
English-'Lead me to him.
Backing up several unanswered
challenges, Kearns hurried to New
York to call the Frenchmen's hand
before they leave Saturday for France
He could not get in touch with the
European champion or his manager
yesterday. He is to try again today.
While Dempsey was in court, the
French manager, apparently. forgot he
was under contract not to perform for
any one but Cochrane, the British pro-
suddenly remembered and said if
Kearns wanted to fight he would have
to go to London.
London nothing" Kearns said.
Here I am, the manager of the
worlds champion. practically running
the challenger out of the country for
a Highland now he says to come on
over to London"
Voicing the sentiments of many men
close to boxing affairs, Kearns ex-
pressed the belief today that Carpen-
tier was running away and would not
return to America
IF 1 can get Descamps in a con-
ference I'll throw down the papers
with my name on them for a fight any
time and tell him to sign or admit
that he doesn't want to fight" Kearns
said.

CORN'S VIGOROUS GROWTH
Week of Rain and Hot Sunshine
Made Ideal Conditions for KAN
sas Crop.
(By S. D. Flora, Q. S. MeteOrologist.)

Ideal crop growing weather pre-
vailed over most of Kansas this week
according to reports of 100 correspon-
dents of the Weather Bureau with
100 degrees and higher in many places,
abundant sunshine. and copious rains
over the southeast quarter and north
eastern counties. where they were
most needed. The central and west
ern counties had very little rain, ex-
cept a few local showers. were gener-
ally we'll supplied with moisture al
ready in the soil. except a few in the
north-central portion and in Reno and
northern Sedgwick counties, with one
or two other dry spots in the western
third.
1t was fine for ripening wheat and
for wheat harvest, which is now prac-
tically finished in the south-central
and southeastern counties and about
half done in the northeastern coun-
ties. West of the central line of the
state harvest is getting well started
with headers and combined harvesters
and threshers in general use. but it
can hardly be said to have started in
the extreme northwestern county. In
spite or the recent heavy rains and
high wind. wheat is standing up well
in all sections. Grasshoppers are
troubling in the southwest, but their
damage is not considered serious yet,
Oats and barley harvest is follow
ing wheat harvest closely in all parts.
Threshing has begun over most of the
eastern half of the state and will soon
be in full swing.
Corn made a vigorous growth this
week and has a fine, healthy color.
1t is from 4 to feet tall in the south
eastern and southcentral counties.
where it is beginning TO tassel. l to 4
feet tall in the northeastern counties
and inches to feet tall in the north
western. So far there has been plenty
of moisture for corn. except in the
lined dry spots already mentioned, but
the crop is rapidly approaching the
most critical period of its growth,
when it must have more moisture to
continue development Much has been
laid by in the southern counties and
a few early fields elsewhere.
The week was favorable for pota-
toes and truck crops in the east third
of the state. but rather dry elsewhere
as these crops need more rain at this
time than corn. Alfalfa made a slow
growth generally Rain would bene-
fit pastures in the western half of
the state
