 President Mccullough made the se- rious address of the evening, explain ing the meaning of Rotary and out lining it's principles.

 Industriously he searehed-to no avail.

 He had observed the girl giving the stone back to Dick Calardin. He had no idea that the stone had beeif again returned to her. 90
 Dick stirred and moaned little. Kismet grew alarmed l Perhaps the white man had, been badly injured? Who could tell? i It was time to take hurried de- l parture.
 l But he could not resist taking a further peep at his fallen enemy
 He approached the bed. He turned the light on Dick. He found the young mans eyes wide open, fixed on I hir.

By Associated Press .

Chicago, October 20.-Bulls had some advantage in the wheat mar kct the greater part of the time today, owing more or less to pre- dictions which were current that a general railroad strike would yet be avoided. Upturns, however, were not well maintained. Prices closed un- settled at the same as yesterdays finish to 14c higher. Corn gained ssc to Fsc and oats ss @ 1Sc to 5sc. In provisions the outcome varied from 25c decline to 15c advance.
 Inasmuch as the prospect of dis astrous complications from the threat ened railroad strike has been perhaps the chief depressing factor in the wheat market of late, developments s indica ting that a settlement might be reached led to a little more conf dence regarding the buying side. Talk of important probable reduction of winter wheat acreage counted also as q stimulating factor. On the other hand. though. hopes of a better ex- port demand proved to be illusory, and Canadian wheat continued to get the preference from Europe.

Iron and Steel World
 Has Eyes on Reduced Rates In Freight Soon

Cleveland, O., October 20.-(Spe- clai)-The Iron Trade Review says today
 beiief in an early reduction of freight rates considered fundamental to revival of iron and steel industry mas been strengthened by deyelop- ments of the past week. Those events following close upon 2S per cent re- auction in iron ore rates of a week ago have brought producers and con sumers to highly expectant state.
 plsturbing effects on trade arising rom present unsettled condition are minimized In growing demand that the issue of relief from excessive transportation costs, now crystalized on basis of national welfare. shall se settled definitely at this time. Threats of general railroad strike, accordingly, are bringing little alarm to industry. even on the most vul- nerable side of fuel supplies. and a few protective measures are being stimulated, while new business in iron and steel is less vigorous this week. Mill and furnace operations continue to rise as a result of orders previously accumulated. The Steel Corporation has about 45 per cent of its ingot capacity engaged this week, the best record in some time
 Leading independent mills in the Plttsburg district are on a 50 per cent basis for the first time. Inde- pendent Mahoning valley steel mak- CTS are running this week at 63 per cent. which Is the peak level of the present year.
 Finishing mill activities vary greatly. Possibility of lower rail prices for 1922 delivery depends on the amount and scope of freight rate reductions.' It is not likely that mills will be willing to cut their price un- til rates on raw materials Of manu- facture are back to the level that prevailed before August. 1920, when an increase of 40 per cent became ef- fective.
 Practically stationary condition of the Iron Trade Reviews composite market average of l4 iron and steel products Is shown. This week the av- craze is s35 50, against ss5 46 last week and s35 .52 two weeks ago. Reports of European pig iron hay ing been sold to pipe makers in Del taware river district below s19 de- rvered have caused some concern among eastern producers. It Is now learned that the recent sale of 1,oot tons of Swedish low phosphorus iror was made to an eastern buyer con siderably below American equivalent
