~ UR good intentions are some-
times misinterpreted and we
fad ourselves placed In most
embarrassing positions be-
cause we have tried to do that which
we thought was right. that which
would be of help to our fellow man.
All of which concerns a happening
that took place on a Georgia avenue
car. A nice and quiet hammered
young man paid his fare, walked
down the aisle and took a seat. Back
of the seat he occupied sat a very
charming young woman. The car sped
on for several blocks when the young
lady evinced great interest in the
traveller in front of her. She glanced
stealthily around to see If ony one
was looking and timidly extended her
shapely hand until 1t almost rested
on the collar of the young mans
coat. an instant later she drew it
back only to extend it once more.
this time a little nearer his collar.
The young man got the reflection of
the pretty hand and well rounded arm
in the glass and he commenced to
squirm. His gentle "shimmying'' only
caused her to be more insistent. A
blush crept rapidly DER his cheek;
he gulped; beads of perspiration
stood upon his brow-those in the
rear of the twain snickered. Was the
vamp about to lose her prey? The
young man arose hastily and took a
seat in the front of the car. Grins
became giggles. giggles- became

was scarlet. She arose with a defiant
toss of her head and approached the
young man. His face was the color
of a California sunset but there was
no escape; he was to be devoured, his
time had come. With tight, set lips
and a look of determination in her
eye she once more reached forth in
the direction of his collar. Like a
man about to be guillotined he met
his fate bravely, but her only object
was to pick off a caterpiller that had
cApbed to the summit of the piece of
linen. She arose and swept. with a
defiant glance. every one in the car.
She pressed the stop signal and
alighted. still blushing furiously, but
with a consciousness of knowing that
she had accomplished that which she
had set out to do. History will record
that there is at least one very bash
full man in our lovely city.

CAN'T FIX PRICES
Government Can Only Go So
Far, Says Wallace.
Plan Would Cause OverprOduc-
ton and Surplus.

Mcpherson, Kan, Oct. 25.-Gov-
ernmental fixing of prices on farm
products is impracticable, Henry c.
Wallace, secretary of agriculture, de-
clared in an address here today in
which he reviewed efforts of the pres
ent national administration to i'm
prove agricultural conditions.
Government cannot successfully
fix prices on farm crops" Secretary
Wallace said, unless government at
the same time exercises arbitrary con-
troll over production and is prepared
to take care of surplus crops grown
Government can see to it that the
farmer has the credit facilities he
needs. Government can see to it that
the markets are open and that the
farmer gets fair treatment. Govern
ment can collect and pass on the
farmers information as to crop pro-
duction, probable demand, foreign
competition, and the various things
which influence prices. That is about
as far as government can safely CO..
Prices Are Too Low.
Wheat growers of the northwest
and southwest, the secretary said, are
suffering severely now because of low
prices. and especially because wheat
is their one big cash crop.
Declaring that wheat growers in
general are not getting the cost of
ued:
Suppose congress should pass a
law fixing the price of wheat at a
point which would cover the cost of
production and give the farmer just a
fair profit. How would the govern
ment enforce that price? Either it
would have to buy the wheat at tha
price fixed, or would have to let the
farmer keep the surplus wheat on his
own farm and loan him practically as
much as the price fixed.
Scheme Would Break Down.
Now, if production the following
year were not controlled, farmers
would be greatly encouraged by the
profitable price fixed and would SOW
more wheat, thus piling another big
crop on top of the surplus. More
than this, the price would encourage
farmers in sections where wheat is
not now being grown to grow wheat,
because the price would be higher rel
atively than the price of corn and
oats. That would result in a very
large winter wheat crop in most of
the corn belt states, which would add
still further to the surplus. In the
end the whole scheme would break
down of its own weight and the
farmers would be worse off than they
were before. The one crop wheat
farmers would be especially hard hit"

FEED YARD TO MARYSVuLE.
Grand Island VIII Make Change From
Hanover, Report Says.

Marysville, Kan, Oct. 25.-Accord-
ing to railway information received at
division headquarters here, from Han
over, the st. Joseph 81 Grand Island
railway is removing its large feed
yards from Hanover to Marysville.
The company has for years main
tanned yards at Hanover with a
capacity of fifty carloads of stock,
and used them almost daily for what
ever stock had to be fed in transit
on account of the time limit being up
before it could be hauled to its desti-
nation.
1t is understood the yard pens and
feed racks had to be renewed and the
railway decided it would be better to
locate an entirely new yard at Marys-
vile, which is the division headquar-
ters and more centrally located. This
means loss to Hanover, as the yards
not only employ several men, but it
meant good, steady sales of supplies to
the railway by feed and hay dealers,
which will now swing to Marysville.

OPEN WAR ON TRANSFORMING
Major Leagues May Keep Players Off
the "CoaI Oil Circuits"

New York, Oct. 25.-The business
of transforming. over which Babe
Ruth and Judge Lands went to the
mat at catch weights no later than
last fall, is likely to be ruled right out
of baseball when the major leagues
convene in December.
The privilege is being abused in a
manner hardly favorable to the best
interests of baseball. Ball players
from nearly every major league outfit
have identified themselves with all
manner of fly by night enterprises and
are making their way around the coal
oil circuits, according to information
received in official circles here. 1t is
also limited that not a few of the stars
are giving the sunrise quite a play.
In consequence, some of the base
ball played by them has not savored
of major league standard and in gen
eral a base impression is gained in the
territory involved.
A determined war on the rule,
therefore, is promised at the Deem
Der meeting here.

There has been decided drop in price

would indicate that, if present receipts
continue, Western markets will show an

an advance in the price near Thanksgiv-
