speaker FRIDAY evening at campaign
gathering around the band stand. Mrs.
Schoenfeld introduced the speakers.
Mrs. Blaine could not be present, and
her place on the program was taken by
Miss Zona Gale, the authoress. Her
speech occupied about Is minutes and
was in the nature of a prelude to the
address of Mrs. La Toilette which
lasted for more than an hour and a
half. She reviewed the political situa-
ton in the state and the nation, and
urged the hearers to vote straight the
La Toilette ticket in the coming pri-
mary. A large audience from Edger-
ton and vicinity followed the speakers
with respectful attention.
DIR. Garfield, candidate for u. S.
senator at the September primaries,
spoke from the band stand last Thurs
day night to several hundred people
who for an hour listened to the discus
sion of the problems of the day in our
economic, political and international re-
lations, and outlined what in his mind
were the best remedies for a solution
of these problems. Cool heads, broad
sympathies, recognition of the welfare
of the whole, unselfish and courageous
defense of the fundamental principles
in our government, and sober judge
ments are required to bring stability
and prosperity to the nation and sup
port to tottering world, were the
underlying thoughts of the address.
The speaker was introduced by Mr.. G..

TODAY'S BEST STORY
I'm BILLY'S SERMON

Oh, the principle Of love Is what
is going to move the world! We
don't miss them until they are gone
many of them. Like friend of
mine out in Iowa-he was very
rich farmer and his little boy-he
didn't pray, didn't think anything
about God-and his little boy was
sick. He called his father to the
bedside one time and said.
"Pa, If ! die, please don't let 'em
bury me in the graveyard over on
the hill. The weeds are so high
and the owls are~o over there and
Pm afraid. Pa, IT die, bury me
down in the pasture under the big
elm tree. You do come down there
sometimes to see the hogs and cat
tie"
And Jim, the little fellow, died
and they didn't bury him in the
graveyard up on the hill where the
weeds grew so high and the boot
owls lived. They buried him under
the spreading elm in the pasture.
They put little picket fence about

ADVICE TO MOTHERS
FROM SUNDAY'SLIPS

Now, listen to me minute.
Say, ! think that the fool nothe.
who will allow a sixteen-year-oId
sissy-now you hear me! think
that fool mother that will allow
a sixteen-year-old sissy to float
around town and joyride and hit
the cabarets till two o'clock in the
morning with a counterfeit sport
with weak jaws and weaker morals,
puffy eyelids, green vest, pair of
spats on--oh, she's opening the
door and inviting sin and disgrace
to cross her threshold.
If you don't know what kind os
company your daughter keeps o.
what time of night she turns in and
hits the hay, | want to tell you that
your roar when the tongues of Cos
sip get busy will sound about as
pathetic as a Wheeze on Jews
harp.
And the fool girl who insists on
spooning with every manageable
young fellow of her set ought to be
backed into the. woodshed and re-
ieved Of her over-supply of affee-
ton with a pair of slippers laid on
across both hemispheres.
I'd rather that daughter Of mine
would kiss blind hog through a
barbed wire fence on Friday night,
the thirteenth of the month than to
change partners three nights a
week with the lights turned out. =

In the works of benevolence? How

you on the street and asks you for

them off and give them to him and
go home clothed in sunshine.
That doesn't mean If some lazy wop
that never worked in his life asks you
to get out of your automobile that
you climb out and let him get in and
drive away and you hot-hoof it.

trying to show-the spirit they should
manifest, and live.
Now don't want to say anything
to despise scientific charity-its bet

I'll tell you, you don't try to save
him. Love will save him. Love is

SETBACKN WHEAT ON PROFIT TAKING BY MANY HOLDERS
Nv Associated Pres.

Chicago. November s.-wheat under went a sudden setback in price today on profit taking the part of holders. Clos ing quotations were unsettled, MQ1c net lower. with December s1.161a 41.15ss and May s1.13S 41.13h. Corn finished %G%c off. oats down h9Ac to %c, and pro- visions unchanged to 57c higher.
 Favorable conditions for realizing sales in the wheat market were apparent from the fact that the greater part of the news was of a bullish character. with prices showing an upward tendency and with an absence of any aggressive oper ations on the bear side. Export buying of 500. .000 bushels of Durum and 200, 900 bushels of rye here was one of the favor able developments which helped to lift values.
 Government estimates that more than 50 per cent of the domestic wheat crop had been marketed up to September 30 counted also as a bullish influence, being contrary to general belief that farm mar ketings this season had been held back to an unsual extent, but. like other fac tors failed to sustain the wheat market in the face of profit taking.
 Corn and oats were mainly governed by the action of wheat. Besides, corn was af- fected by reports of lessened car scarcity and by talk of increased rural offerings.
 Provisions averaged higher in e-wlth the hog market and as a result Of foreign buying of ribs

 There was a great deal of realizing and considerable scattered southern selling, but it was absorbed on moderate setbacks. while the buying continued with the mar the afternoon. This promoted by the bullish average of southern spot advices and reiterated reports of an improving ex- port demand, while commission house buying generally was encouraged by the continued trade buying against call cotton in December and January.

New Orleans, November 3.-Further wide advances in the cotton market today carried prices into new high ground for the season most months trading above the 24c level. December rose to 24.4sc. Advances were well maintained and the close was strong at 24.4oc for December. At the highest of the day the trading po- sitions were AZ to 65 points over the close .ts yesterday; last prices were at net gains on the session of Al to 55 points.
 While the rise was in reality continu- ation of the bull campaign that was started some time ago. much of the ex- citement and buying of the day was due to a private bureau estimate of S,l4Oo0 bales ginned to the first of November ac- companed by estimate Of 9,4400oo bales as the total crop this season. The trade generally had been looking for around s500,000 bales the probable ginning to the first of November. which, 1t was generally thought, would be about s5 per cent of the total crop-l0. COOL bales being favorite crop guess. The private ginning figures were known to few traders on the opening and the day started off with rush of buying. It was soon S2 a bale up on the most active months and the gains constantly were widened during the day, with only minor setbacks. Mill takings for the week of 3S500 bales considered large. but did not cause much buying because they compared with the very large takings of 427, 900, bales this week last year.
