CANOE Travellers
PASS THRU OTTAWA
ON WAY T0FLOR|DA
MR.. AND MRS. w. E. HALL START
LONG JAUNT TO SUNNY SOUTH
ERN CLIMATE TO ESCAPE JACK
FROST AND OLD MAN WINTER.

Two thousand miles or more in a
canoe with the mercury bobbing
around the zera mark is the trip Mr..
and Mrs. William T. Hall, an ambi-
tious Chicago pair, set out to make,
leaving Chicago Tuesday with a final
destination of Jacksonville Fla.
The young couple arrived in Otta-
wa about II o'clock Wednesday and
paused for a few minutes in the
shadows of the Illinois river bridge
to cook and eat their noon day re-
past Although they were only here
a few minutes that was all the time
it took a few inquirers to gain all
the facts of the couples journey.
According to their own story on
Sunday, Dec. TO- they started talking
about the trip and by o'clock that
night they made up their minds to
take the trip. Sunday night they
spent bidding their friends good bye
and Monday was spent in getting
ready for the big trip. Tuesday morn
ing they bade farewell to the Windy
City and started for Florida, the land
of the warm sun. The first day is
hard on any travellers and the portage
around the dam at Marseilles made
them a little late in arriving here.
From Ottawa they continued on
down the Illinois river and from it
they will float into the Mississippi
Thence they will paddle out into the
gulf of Mexico and around Florida
to Jacksonville, where they can spend
the large share Of the early 1928 win
ter in the same territory as the mill
lionaires who come overland in luxur-
iOus pullmans
The canoeists were not heavily Ia
den with baggage for two small bun
dies in the center of their sixteen
foot craft was all the baggage they
carried. They say it is not necessary
to visit the towns on their way for
they need to purchase but few sup
plies as most of their livelihood will
come from a II gauge shot gun that
lay in the bottom of the boat
They don't carry tent. Two fur
lined bags are their places of re-
pose during the cold nights.

LESSON FOR THE FARMERS IN
LITTLE DEAL in WHEAT

There is good deal of food for thought
for the farmers of the country in the testimony
given during the week by J. Leonard Rep
logic before the federal trade commission,
which Is investigating the manipulation of the
wheat market.
Mr.. Replogle, who is head of big steel
company, testified that he was at Palm Beach
In January, and, acting upon the suggestion
of a resort acquaintance, bought 100000
bushels of wheat at $1.03 and $1.o4. Before
May 1 he had dispos I'd of his purchase ar
prices ranging fr5in $1.13 to $1.4o and
his profit on the little flier was between
$500, 900 and 100000. He said that he
bought the wheat outright and did not deal
in margins Asked how he financed such
transaction while at winter resort, he said
he kept, a balance Of several millions with
his brokers' all the time, and that he simply
placed his order with them. He insisted that
he knew nothing of any wheat ring to manipu-
late prices and that he was acting solely as
an individual upon the advice Of friend,
as he knew absolutely nothing about wheat.
1t is stories such as this that made Con-
gress feel some kind of investigation
necessary and that has convinced the farmers
that something is wrong when men sitting on
a hotel veranda can make more profit out of
wheat In three months than whole county of
working farmers can make in q year.
The farmer seems to be getting into the
saddle so far as congressional Representatives
ar concerned, and it is not unlikely that they
will soon be in position to demand remedy
for wrongful diversion of the profits of the
tillers of the soil.

prevent trouble from that source with her
