Here was a young American called
upon to rescue damsel in distress,
and incidentally to accept 100000
for his services. Wilbur's mind was
hadn't been there before. For few
nights the eggs went ungathered and
the pigs went grunting supperless to
bed.
Then something else occurred to
Wilbur. Things were not happening
in the commonplace Kansas way. So
he drove to town and walked into
an office. on the door of which hung
ms IRA c. SNYDER
ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR
Having known Mr.. Snyder most of
his life, Wilbur entered and laid the
strange propos ton before him.

again, are they. They've been pulling
that old gag for fifty years, and I
thought they had about given it up.
Well, I'm glad you came to me about
it, young man. Wen just put 1t in
an envelope apd send it to the United
States district attorney at Topeka"
Wilbur opened his mouth once or
twice as If to speak. then turned, left
the office and motored slowly back to
the cows and chickens. Visions of
gold and SpanisL maidens in distress
went up in smoke-and very thin
smoke, at that, like the smoke from
the exhaust pipe of his motor car.
AL F. Williams, federal attorney for
the district OF Kansas, smiled hope
lessly, like a man who has been in
vited to a banquet and discovers that
he hasn't a clean shirt in the drawer.
U. S. ant Do a Thing.
Cant do a thing about it, he de-
clared. Cant get 'em for misuse of
the mails, because they're not in this
country. It's a big game. all right, and

that several high Spanish officials

them.
you'll note in the letter the boy
was told to bring $4,000 or $4,000 in
gold or United States banknotes. be-
cause it is hard to get a foreign check
cashed in Spain. And there must be
great secrecy. Yes, it sounds fine,
all right. But if the boy had gone over
there they. would have gotten his gold,
and perhaps his friends would never
have heard from him again. It's too
bad, but all we can do is to warn
people to be on the lookout for such
stuff"

kemaIists Are Sorry America Has
Turned Against Them.

Constantinople. Nov. II. - Much
, criticism is appearing in the Turkish
newspapers regarding alleged propa-
seanda in the United States against
Turkey. The Anatolian news agency,
official mouthpiece of the Angora gov
eminent, declares this campaign is be-
ing conducted by American mission
aries and relief workers who, it al
legged. are attempting to b. ing about
war between Turkey and the United
States.
I'VE remind all impartial and con-
seieutious Americans" says the
agency procurement, that the ma
tionalist government has accorded
every facility and hospitality to these
people. and now we find to our great
sorrow that they have turned against
us.
1T is unnecess-- : to say that all the
statements they have published are
calumnies- They have caused deep
resentment on the part of Turkish
people and officials toward Ameri-
cans

PROFITS TO LABOR
Ford Would Sell Certificates to
Rail Employees.
Base Interest Payments on
Dividends. Is Plan.

Washington. Nov. 1s.-Henry Ford
applied to the Interstate commerce
commission today for authority to put
into effect on his railroad. the Detroit,
Te'edor & IrontonA a system of profit
sharing somewhat similar to that eff
tective in his manufacturing plants.
The commission was asked to ap-
prove an issue of $1.00O,0OO in invest
ment certificates. which will be sold to
employees for cash in denominations of
SEQ. $500 and $1,000. These certifi-
Gates will bear no fixed rate of inter
est. but the money received from their
sale Will be invested in the railroad
itself or in other enterprises, as the
management may decide. and at the
end OF each year an amount ranging
up to a limit of 25 per cent of the
uted to the employees holding invest
ment certificates
No Guarantee of Interest
No guarantee will be given the en-
ployes OF any definite interest return,
the application said, nor will the COM
pany necessarily devote the entire 25
per cent of net earnings suggested as
applicable to the certificates in any
one year. The emploSe, however, will
demand. and thirty days notice at any
time.
E. G. Liebold. vice president of the
railroad, in an affidavit, explaining
the plan. said that the Detroit, Toledo
& Ironton now had 2225 employees
earning an average OF $1S5 per month.
From experience in the other Ford en-
terpr.ses it was assumed, he said, that
one-haif of them would take the GER
tffIcates.

Chicago. Nov. 1S-WHEAT-Whea values
took an upward slant at the start today, the
deferred deliveries touching a new high for
the season, during the early dealings. The
early strength was ascribed to liberal buy
ing of May wheat, which advanced readily.
but the best figures were not maintained
due to scattered profit-taking. Resting or
ders to sell May wheat at $1.1S were strong
ly in evidence and there were not sufficient
buying to carry the price above $117h
The market was rather nervous. The
opening, which varied from unchanged fig
ugres to CSC advance with December 81 201A
to 81 .2O9s and May $1.1715 to $117%, was
followed by slight decline and then some
thing of a general rally.
The close showed a net>Eain of nc to sc,
with December $1209s to $1.2OA, and May
Sis to $1.1S1s.
CORN-Corn and oats were in sympathy
with wheat, selling in corn was easier to
trade than the buying which was somewhat
scattered, while the selling has been by sew

Chicago. Nov. Is.-New high price rec
ords for the season blossomed in every
kind OF grain this week. The wheat market
in particular responded to enlarged specu-
latfve purchasing based more or less on
opinions prevalent that as a result of I'M
der-production Il nothing else, European
countries would be big buyers all thru the
crop year. Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning was SIC to SIZE high
er, corn up 1%c to SIZE and oats 1Ac to
2@2Ikc, with provisions varying from 15c
decline to 45c advance.
With many flour mills working at full
capacity, and with the corn market show
ing decided independent strength, bearish
news touching wheat seemed to make but
little impression. For example, rains and
snow beneficial to the winter crop failed 20
check the upward swing of the market, and
so likewise did increasing arrivals at
primary eenters.
Corn and oats derived their chief
strength from urgency of feeding demand
in wide sections where the corn crop was
shortened by drought.
Reduction of stocks of lard here had
considerable effect on provision values, but
was counterbalanced by weakness of the
hog market.
