NEW YORK, March 16.-Mrs. ILL
liam r. Sire, president of the Wom-
ems Democratic Political League and
Of the Society for the Aid of Mental
Detectives, filed a suit for separation
in the supreme court yesterday
sgainst Clarence ID. Sire. She asked
aIimony OF $4,000 year. Mrs. Sire
complained that her husband lis n
great obstacle to her in her political
activities, and that since 1912 has
attempted not only to say where this
pIaintiff should go during tho day
time, but also as to what time she
might go out, how long she might
stay and what she might do while

Mrs. Sire added that, although Mt
Sire "harassed and annoyed her so
as to impair the state of plaintiffs y
health and shatter her nervous sys-
lem," he would not permit her to
discontinue her club and society con-
uections, which she offered to do.
This attitude on the part of Mr.. Sire
showed the absurdity of his conduct
said Mrs. Sire.
"This plaintiff" said Mrs. Sire,
~not only has the usual social life OF

actively interested in politics ard
also for many years has been great

the time of the plaintiff." For nine
years, Mrs. Sire complains. her hus-
rand has interfered forcibly to pre-

INFORMATION REGARDING
CANADIAN WHEAT PRICES

The following explanation of the
difference between the prices of
wheat quoted in Canada and the
United States, will be of interest to
many wheat growers:
Spokane, Aug IS. 1921.
Editor Herald:
Our Mr.. Burdick was talking with
you recently and informed us that
you wanted TO know why wheat at
Fort Williams sold SO much higher
than wheat at Chicago.
Answering this. will say: The price
on marquis wheat at Minneapolis is
the same as at Fort Williams. Alder
Ia points are almost due north of the
center Of Montana and the old freight
rates were only l 8 cents per bushe
to Fort Williams against 80 cents pei
bushel from this territory. The pres
ent rate on wheat from Washington
and Oregon points to Minneapolis il

EARLY "REMINISCENCES
OF CITY AND COLLEGE

Continued from first page)
/ for new field, a personal investtga-
/ ton was made in August, 1883. At
/ ter noting the great possibilities of
/ ture, and the splendid prospects for
the future growth of Pullman, ar-
engagements were made to establish
a paper. The first issue of The Pull
man Herald was dated November s,
1888, and since that time the paper
has continuously championed the in
terests OF Pullman and contributed
in great measure to its growth.
The first problem of a civic nature
taken up by The Herald was a light
ing system for Pullman. 1t advocat-
ed that the town should be lighted by
the erection of two street lamps. ore
at the O.-W. r. & n. depot and one at
the corner of Main and Alder streets.
and through its efforts the CITY
Dads finally agreed that if The
Herald would erect the lamps the
municipality would furnish the oil
and keep them lighted. Pursuant
to this agreement the lamps were
erected in the fall of 1889, and the
first lighting system of Pullman es-
tablished. This system functioned
until the fall of 1892. when a flour
mill was erected and an electric
plant connected Herewith by Ne
Kenzie and Baird.
In the spring of 1889 The Herald
issued a special editions setting
forth the merits of the town, and pre-
dicted, among other things, that
Pullman would have a population of
1900. A conscientious subscriber
who had ordered the paper to be
sent to friends in the east demanded
that these subscriptions be cut off
the mailing list and, on inquiry as
to the reason for this request, he
stated that he did not propose to be
party to misleading people by false
statements, and when asked as to
what statement he referred to he re-
piled that it was in reference to Pull
man ever having population OF
1900. 1t was pointed out to him
that there was no time stated when
that would be. He then replied that
it never would be, and that the editor
either knew when he wrote that
statement that it was false. or if he
did not know it to be false, that he
did not have sense enough to run g
paper. OF course this closed the ar.
gument.

there was reason for us talking as

46 cents per bushel, which of course
prohibits the shipment of marquis
wheat from this territory to Mime
apolis.
Minneapolis is a hard wheat or
marquis wheat milling center and
this accounts for the high premiums
that are paid at Minneapolis for this
grade of wheat. Marquis is spring
wheat and there is very little of the
old crop left and the new crop is just
being harvested.
Chicago is a soft wheat center and
great deal of the Kansas and Ne
braska wheat finds its way there.
This grade OF wheat in Minneapolis
would not be worth over $1.24 today
against about $3.50 for marquis
wheat.
