Il hope you don't have to come
any more"
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Youngvorst,
residents of the Industrial home,
Moline, spoke in unison as the re-
porter left after having inquired

Youngvorst apartment to inquire
about the condition of Lucas Young
worst, then aged S. Jacob was hit
by an automobile at~Sixth avenue
and Fourteenth street early last
evening. Lucas had the same sort
of experience, slightly more than a
year ago, at Fifth avenue and Four
teenth street. The boy in last even
ing's accident appears to be not in
jured seriously. He incurred scalp
wound and number Of bruises
Lucas wavered between life and
death for a number Of days.
The car which struck Jacob last
evening was driven by Lloyd Busse
an employ of the Moline Moon COM

ing developed after tho break reach

days close and 1t continued on
rumors Of black rust in Nebras-
ka, and some indications Of . pos
sfble wet harvest In other sections.

first hour wiped out the initial
losses, July touching 1.37A. but at
that point the market showed .
tendency to sag.
Rust reports persisted and the
sentiment turned bullish, the close
being near the top OF the session.
July wound up at 1.3SA, to 1.3S1l
and September 1.23A to 1.24.
In the corn pit recent extended
hedges changing between July and

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago. ILL.,, June 11.-Violent
changes in prices have made the
wheat market stormy this week.
but have largely Offset each other.
Depression in foreign exchange and
uncertainty about domestic anti-pit
Legislation finally outweighed bull
ish factors. Compared with a week
ago. wheat this morning was &c
to nc lower, corn down SIC to
4kc@4&c, and oats off 3Mc to
3Ac@3Hc. Provisions gained soc
to SOC.
Severe breaks in foreign exchange
had a direct tendency to shut of
export business in wheat during
the week and to bring about offers
to resell on the part Of Europeans.
On the other hand, private domes-
tic crop estimates were Of radi-
cal bullish nature, and were later
confirmed to a notable extent by
the Washington report. Misgivings
about wet harvest and possible
big railroad strike added to anx-
iety among traders who had been
looking for lower prices. Instead
of undergoining tumble. the mar
ket scored a steep advance to near
ly the topmost point yet this sea
son. Then values made a sudden
back somersault. Disturbing re-
ports about proposed action OF the
Illinois legislature antagonistic tc
the wishes of Board Of Trade mem.
bers was largely responsible. but
the bears put new stress also or

Of export call.

The oats market was depressed by

Burglars last night forced an en-
trance into a private garage owned
by Charles P. Larkin, 2204 Third

newspaper ADS
SOLD MANY LOTS
Real Estate Valued 1t $esO,O 900 Dis
posed of in Duh Season Within
10 bays.

How newspaper advertising, plus
real sales effort sold a quarter Of
million dollars worth Of real es-
tate, is told in the current issue
Of the National Real Estate Jour
nal.
The achievement was the more
remarkable because it was accomp-
lished in the middle of winter when
for the average realtor prospects are
cold both physically and metaphor
ically.
Furthermore, this selling stunt
was completed within 40 days with
a corps of three statesmen and .
sales manager. -
The Roland Park company Of
Baltimore having sold all the
houses on their list, made up their
mind to sell lots. It was decided
to make advertising the mainstay
Of the plan. A series Of full page
ads were published in the papers
of the city, gotten up very attrac-
lively, containing plat of the de-
velopment, showing areas at that
time occupied, areas not yet Occu-
|
ture improvement 1s
Prospective purchasers were Civ
en- an excellent idea of the Local
ton of the vacant lots, and the
| fact was brought out that not much
land remained. and that those who
wished to settle in that locality must
hustle. A clear idea of the value
of the lots still available was Civ
en-.
Full Page Ads.
The first ad was run for severe.
days, or until it was found that in
quiries were dropping of. BY way
of keeping track of the pulling
powers of the ad careful record
was kept of the number Of inquir-
les received each day. When in
quiries gave evidence Of slowing
up, the ad was changed, and anoth-
er full page took its place. A little
later the size of the ads was re-
duced somewhat, some being three
columns wide and some four col
umns.
AS a result Of the campaign,
which for advertising alone cost
approximately s1O,s0O, As buyers
purchased Al lots. OF these As
buyers, 10 were new prospects. The
remainder, rs prospects, had in
various times in the past been So
licited. As attesting the pulling
powers of the ads. it is interest,"
ing to note that some of these PROS
poets were as much as 1--WE years
old.
What makes the sale all the more
remarkable is the high value of the
lots. Apportioning the total sales,
$427,0 among the Al lots makes
plain that the average value of q
lot was just over 5000. A fair
proportion Of the purchasers paid
for their lots outright. Most of
them, however, took advantage of
the financing plan Of the company
which allowed the payment of 10
per cent down and the balance at
the rate of $40 per $1,000 Of the
purchase price every month, thus
:. giving the purchaser 1881 months
to complete payment.

Ohio TOWN LOSES
FAMOUS WATER TUB
Place Where "Copperheads'
Were Ducked During Civil
War Is Smashed.

The historic water tub at North
Fairfield, o., which furnished pure
spring water for more than sixty years
to human beings, horses and dogs, Is
no more. ~
A few days ago, careless stranger
drove heavy automobile against the
structure at full speed and damaged
it beyond repair. Incidentally, the
wrecker got thorough wetting.
The tub was 10 feet in diameter and
about 3 feet deep. The water comes
from spring a half mile from the
village. 1t Is forced by a hydraulic
ram which has been giving the best
of service since the water system was
established.
The tub had become fixture In the
village. 1t not only afforded the best
water, but it served as a general meet
ing place. At North Fairfield it is:
"Meet me at the tub" instead OF AT
the fountain"
In Civil war times, number of cop
perheads We're ducked there and high
school students have made similar use
of it,
& The hydraulic ram is an Interesting
contrivance. 1t operates automatical'
ly on the principle Of the vacuum and
comes about as near being perpetual.
motion machine as anything. The ram
is made of iron and is In the shape OF
an inverted pear.
