Pansy was too furious to be afraid.
With all her might she struggled
to get away from his arms and the

just out for dinner. In the midst of

He turned quickly. Then he stood
surveying the speaker with surprise.

different from the Pansy he knew
There was an almost tortured air
about her. Her face was set and
white: there were deep, dark rings
under eyes that were limpid pools Of

Hello. old pal, what has hap

Pansy did not stop to answer him.
With impatient hands she led him
away from the crowd of listening,

GIVE FARMERS
!, PROFIT MARGIN
BYsy. G. R0YLE.

fCopyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
New York. Aug. 3l.-Farmers all
ctef the County are complaining
htterly over sthe smaliness Of the
rtturns their crops are bringing
them. They declare. with some
tasis in fact that grain and other
PRODUCTS OF the soil at present
pricss are at IN unwarranted dis
count ~ compared with products
Il the mines,. mills and factories.
Their complaint. however, justi-
fed, gives no promise Of bringing
relief. The farmers OF the nation
are slated to- wind up with q fairly
successful year In 1922. That is,
they will be able to get themselves
oht Of debt for the first time in the
two years since the period OF de-
preston started, and have a fair
margin Of profit remaining for the
purchase Of necessities and some
sltxuries. There,will be few sedans
purchased by the agriculturists
this fall but q, good many will be
able to aiYords new fllvvers. This
prediction was-approved and con-
firmed today by,a half dozen bank
efs in various sections who are in
close touch with agricultural COM
nunities and who are helping
finance the movement Of the crops.
The cause for the present dis
satisfaction Of the farmer lies in
the export situation, according to
these financieas. This country, they
said today, couaa and would absorb
even the big bum per crops raised
this year, but not az extremely high
prices. The difference between a
big year and q fair >year for the
farmer lies in the amount Of his
products shipped abroad. The
European demand depends largely
on Germany and the. financial con-
dition OF that country must ,become
worse before it is better.

ANOTHER DELAY
IN THE CASE OF
MAYOR SKINNER

Especial to The August

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 31-Judge Louis
FitzHenry in federal court at noon
today announced he would take un-
der Amusement a motion Of coun-
sci for Mayor Charles P. Skinner
for dismissal of the contempt
charge entered against the defend :
ant as a result Of his having torn
down from a post in Riverside
park, Moline, a copy of the Rock
island railroad strike Injunction.
Mayor Skinner was represented
in court by Attorney c. E. Dietz.
who fully reviewed the facts of the
Riverside park incident as related
by Mayor Skinner. Several hours
were devoted to argument Of tho
motion to dismiss.
Mayor Skinner makes no denial
of the charge Of removing the post
ed injunction. but held that in do
ing so that he sought merely to
take precaution against a possible
demonstration by the strikers who
were gathered in the park on that
day for a mass meeting to discuss
the merits of their grievances
against the railroad company. The
mayor felt that the appearance of
the injunction would tend only to
aggravate the men.
The decision Of Judge FitzHenry
is expected within a week or 10
days.
