EMBARGOES DELAY
wheat SHIPMENTS

Asked whether the c. & o. lines
were open to the receipt of wheat for
Baltimore on Saturday, the local agent
said: Il find no reason for refusing
shipments OF wheat over our line to
Baltimore today
The fact is there are so many points
and gateWayS embargoed just now,
that agents are not advised fully as to
what they can or cannot do, except
by referring to the higher-ups. besides
conditions are changing from day to
day.
Conditions are unchanged on the
Pennsylvania lines. Some wheat Is
filtering into Cincinnati, depending on
billing and destination, but wheat for
the long haul east is not being taken
via Columbus or Pittsburgh, from any
central western point. How long this
condition will exist is a railway prob
lem depending on the clearance of
cars at point Of congestion, also as to
conditions of traffic at seaboard load
ing wharves for export.
The Eikenberry elevators at Camden
report the taking in Of considerable
Number 1 wheat, also Of number 2
More than 5000 bushels We're received
on Friday, and two cars are to be
shipped out to Cincinnati on Satur
day.
Mr.. Eikenberry says that so far they
have had all the cars needed, but have
none in sight after today, and If none
received soon the elevators will quick
ly fill. Railroad refused two cars fol
the east on Friday, there being ar
| embargo on wheat to go through Col
umbus. This is in line with the clos

At five o'clock this afternoon I blew
into Mother Edmonds' house wee
bit weary from my recent labors, but
It's such. glorious WEAKNESS, this
kind that attacks you after a day of
the work you adore. It's a slow, ex-
otto languor, like no other, that steals
insiduously through your whole being,
rendering you totally unresisting, and
floatingly numb IN every limb (some
description that. You stretch out on
any couch or bed that happens to be
handy, and drift off into the great
spaces peopled by silver silences most
soothing. Nothing disturbs you, and
yet you are vaguely conscious Of all
that is going on about you, despite the
fact that your eyes are closed, and
your spirit in communication with the
hushed corners of the world.
Mother Edmonds must have realiZ-
ed just how l felt, for she made me
stretch out on the chaise lounge and
rest without talking for half an hour
before we had tea. 1t was sweet Of
her
While 1 was lying there, awake as
l thought, l suddenly heard a low,
familiar laugh, and looked up to see
Cecil bending over me. He lifted me
up and took me in his arms, as though
I belonged to him, and kissed mo hard
upon the mouth. I kissed him back,
and felt on fire. Then he held me
tighter than ever, and his grasp hurt
my arms cruelty, and l cried out. And
then Jack rushed up to US and struck
at Cecil, and I cried out loudly
and awoke to find Mother Edmonds
bending over me in a concerned man
ner, and calling my name.
1t had been all a dream, but the
thought Of it made me feel queer for a
long time, after awakening. Mother
Edmonds told me that I had signed
my sleep and then groaned. She
said that must be very tired indeed

LIBERTY HEARING SET
FOR FIRST OF week
BY SERVICE BOARD

The public service commission of
Indiana will hold a hearing beginning
at 1870 p. m, Monday, in the court
house, Liberty, in the matter Of the
petition Of the Liberty Light and Pow
er company for authority to increase
its rates for electric service in the
towns Of Liberty, Boston and West
College Corner.
On Monday Of this week the COM
mission approved, after hearing here,
the petition of the city of Richmond
for increase in rates charged by the
municipal utility for electric energy
supplied to the people and industries
Of Richmond and also to the Liberty
Light and Power company
The petition Of the Liberty Light
and Power company sets forth the
fact that rates and charges made by it
are dedicated initially upon the rates
and charges charged 1t by the Rich
mond electric plant, and that with an
increase in such rates, it becomes
necessary for petitioner to increase
its rates to the several communities
served.
The commission has made the new
rates here effective as of August 1,
and is expediting the hearing in the
Liberty Light and Power company's
petition so that the order may be
issued effective as of that date.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young girl and until Of late have been
keeping company with a boy two
years older than myself, We were
supposed to be going together steady,
but several times he went with other
girls and talked about me to them and
then came to me and talked about the
other girls.
Whenever I would tell him how he
was acting he would either lie out of
it or say l was jealous. l think a good
deal of him as he has always acted a
gentleman around me, but I don't want
him to think he can run over me.
At present we are peeved at one
another, as I told him l didn't care
to go with him. Please tell me what
your advice is. BLONDY.
I believe your decision was a good
one. Now consider the matter settled
and forget about him. You are mis-
taken when you say he always was a
gentleman when with you. He was
not a gentleman when he talked about
the other girls. Such a man cannot
be trusted and does not know the
meaning Of the word "friend".

What's in a Name
MADG
(Copyright)

The numerous names which come
from the Persian word for pearl,
Murvarid (child Of Light, include the
very charming Madge. 1t made its
first appearance as Margarite and
named the virgin martyr who became,
before the 9Th century, the recipient
OF the allegory Of feminine innocence
and faith, overcoming the dragon.
Though the legend was Greek, it did
rot flourish in the Eastern Church,
but Cremona laid claim to the maid
ems relics and Hungary, in its first
Christianity eagerly adopted the name.
Curiously enough it reached Scot
land almost at once and from there it
went to Norway with the daughter Of
Alexander III, whose bridal cost the
life Of Sir Patrick Spens. 1t nearly
came back from Scandinavia with her
child, the Maid Of Norway, but the
Maid died on the voyage and her
name reached England through
France and Germany.
There were many English forms of
this pearl-name'. Marguerite was the
general favorite, though Margery ran
at a close second. 1t is from the
latter that Madge is descended. 1t
found great popularity in England but
it remained for it's appearance in this
country to mark the zenith of its
vogue.
The pearl is Of course Madge's tails
manic gem. The Persian notion that
pearl is formed from a drop of dew
on which the moons rays shine, i'm
bues this gem with the power to be
stow it's charm and its exquisite
purity on its wearer. Monday is hel
| lucky day and her lucky number.

Big CROP OF WHEAT
IS FACTOR IN PRICE
DURING LAST week

CHICAGO, H.. July 24-Optimism
in regard to big yield of wheat this
season despite black rust has helped
to ease the wheat market.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
quotations this morning were ~ cent
lower. Corn showed gains OF 1sc to
45sc and oats varied from half cent
decline to &c advance.
Official estimates that the Kansas
wheat crop would be 100000 bush
els larger than had been expected last
month was regarded by many traders
as more than an offset for whatever
damage might be done by black rust
in the northwest. Later, too, there
were forecasts by a leading expert
that regardless Of rust the spring
wheat yield would total as much as
300, 100000 bushels.
Winter wheat was figured by him
at 550,O00,O0O bushels. Timely rains
in western Canada together with
stoppage of export buying for Great
Britain tended further to unsettle the
confidence of bulls.
Persistent buying on the part of
big elevator company was largely res
ponsible for the strength of corn. Be-
sides, there was talk that corn re-
ceipts would soon be greatly curtailed.
Rapid harvesting made the oats mar
ket weaken.

HUrS and
MyStery
BY PALAIS ROYAL

II every person who contem-
plates the purchase OF furs
would choose the store they pat
ronize as carefully as they
choose the furs they buy, there
would be little question about
their receiving value received"
for the money they expend.
Far too little attention is or
dinarily given to this tremen-
dously important point. Unfor-
tunately, integrity is not to be
found on every hand-price bait
and style talk usually being Of
fered in its stead
By this 1t is not meant that
style and price are not vital fac
tors in getting full value for
ones money, but let it be en-
phatically realized that they are
decidedly secondary to quality.
which always goes hand in hand
with integrity.
The written guarantee of an
unreliable store is not worth the
paper on which 1t is penned. but
the word of an honest dealer is
value-insurance worth while.
Nor does it necessarily follow
that the dealer of integrity does
not have bargain values. Rather
on the contrary. it is in his store
that the real bargains will be
found; for what he sells will
wear, and therein lies the test
of whether a garment is good
value or bad.
1t Is also important to remem-
Der that, besides integrity, your
dealer must have a complete and
thorough knowledge of his bust
ness il his integrity is to be of
any value to you, for he might
ItlA SOup IN inc
in the world, that the fur he is
showing you is this, that or the
other thing, when he, himself,
has been fooled in purchasing it.
1t takes mighty keen Judge of
furs to distinguish between the
real and some of the clever imi-
tations of today. so make sure
your chosen dealer, besides be-
ing honest, knows his business
thoroughly.
