thing OF sensation by declaring himself

rank among French literary men. He was
born in Paris in 1874. and his father heinz

that he was literally bred to literature.

COOPERATIVE STORES FAIL.

Reports of failure of the cooperative
stores started by groups of indignant
consumers as protest aaginst high
prices are beginning to come in. One of
the latest to give up the ghost is the en-
terprise started a little more than a year
ago by employees of the United States
treasury department. Unfortunately
many of those who went into these
schemes to save money will end by losing
instead
The trouble is the same in most in
stances of failure as that reported by the
treasury outfit. The members did not
cooperate fully, and it was found impOs-
5iblc to compete with chain stores oper-
ltcd by experienced dealers.
1t is unfortunate for those who saw
IN cooperative buying and selling the
solution of their woes that they have
,ome a cropper, but perhaps they can
console themselves by the philanthropic
attitude that their united attempts UNI
loubtedly were of influence in breaking
he commodity market.
The subsistence of these schemes is
one more evidence OF returning normal
business conditions. wherein the Gus
toner and the merchant stick to their
Individual lines but refrain from undue
attempts to stick each other. After all
the reputable merchant has his rightfu
place in the scheme of things. While
| he public has learned certain ways Of
restraining him in his efforts to profteer
It has also learned, in its efforts to sup
plant him, something of his problems ant
the service which he renders to society

Swatting 4 Wild Rumor

Elmer Gibson. Sheriff elect, has been
the victim of a wild and false story cir
culated during the last few days, start
ing apparently in rothing more than a
baSeless rumor. The story was to the
effect that both Mr.. Gibson and Sheriff
Jeff Bartell had been arrested by federal
officers on liquor selling charges. and
had been taken to Tacoma. The story
was absolutely without foundation and
of so wild a character as hardly to war
rant denial had it not been that it had
circulated so widely.-Hoquaim Wash

And soon the friends that used to

With laughter clear,
And wealth OF cheer,
Come focking back to comfort

.DURANT FEATURES
ON CURB MARKET
Traders Link Selling with Ac.
emulation of Studebaker
On Big Board.

NEW YORK, July l2.-There was
disposition in some quarters to
couple the transactions in Durant
Motors on the New York curb with
the continued accumulation OF
Studebaker on the stock exchange
and those holding this view believed
that an expected announcement in
regard to the relations of the two
companies was a factor in causing
Durant Motors, traded in on the
New York curb, to move up to the
new high record of IS, in the early
dealings today. 1t was suggested
however. that the movement in the
stock might be based on the state
ment that the company will make
its first deliveries OF cars next
week. Outside of the trading in
this stock the market on the curb
was dull and generally heavy with
the important changes to lower
prices Glen Alden coal was again
in supply, selling at 34k to 33ss
and Phillip Morris sold down from

VOLUME OF BOND
TRADE DECLINES
Lessened Activity in Liberties
Almost Entirely Re-

NEW YORK, July PA reduction
in the volume OF trading in the bond
market today was due almost en-
tireIy to lessening activity in the
Liberty group. The demand for
corporate issues was just enough
greater than the offered supply to
permit Of a fractional advance over
a broad list of issues. Featuring
the days trading was a greatly in
creased inquiry for great Northern
Is at prices which ran as high as 80
This is the highest prices on record
and compares with a low Of 81 last
week and all original price Of 9eiz
when they were offered in eNchang"
for the new Burlington collateral
Gus. The latest available report
stated that investors had expected
the joint 6Ls for almost the entire
amount of Great Northern IS autho-
rized. This issue is more popular
among investors than the Northern
Pacific 6zs which were also offered
in exchange for the joint 6iEs. The
Northern Pacitic issue was intended
TO supply the needs Of saving banks
and other institutions which require
legal bond. Burlington collateral
sl2s were fairly active today and
again touched their high Of SSi=.
Liberty bonds and Victory notes
moved within an extremely narrow
range. Foreign issues were quiet
