LONG A PRIVILEGED CLASS
Prerogatives Of Spanish Grandees
Placed Them Almost on an
Equality With Royalty.

The name Spanish grandees is given
to the higher nobility Of Spain-dating
from the Thirteenth century-who at
one time enjoyed almost royal privi-
leges. They held their honors by In
heritance, were exempt from taxation,
and could leave the kingdom, and even
enter the service of a foreign prince
at war with Spain, without mourning
the penalties of treason. In addition
they had the right to remain covered
in the presence Of the sovereign and
could not be summoned before any
civil or criminal tribunal without a
special warrant from the king. In ma
tional assemblies the grandees took
precedence of the titled nobility.
Ferdinand and Isabella greatly cur
tailed these peculiar privileges, and
Charles v limited their number Of
families to 16 and reduced them to
dependent condition. Their dignities
and prerogatives were totally abolished
by Joseph Bonaparte, but these were
partly restored By Ferdinand VII on
his accession to the throne.

THE CHURCH MOUSE


T TITLE MISS MOUSIE lived all
- alone in one corner Of the big
church. that is, she did until one day
she spied Mr.. Tim Mouse wandering
about the church.
How did you get in here?" asked
Miss Mousie. "This is my church and
no other mouse has ever lived here"
Then Mr.. Mouse told fib. Il came
in to call on you, Miss Mousie," he
replied.
Mr.. Mouse had come in through a
hole he found under the church steps
and after wandering about in the
church had decided that it was very
nice place to live, no traps, no pussies
and plenty of space to run about.
"How trim and smart you look In
your gray clothes" said the clever Mr.

old Freyr Of Teutonic mythology.
Freyr meant "free'', which is loosely

idea was personified into god of very
high rank, who later was disintegrated
into a brother and sister, called Freyr

Freyr named the sixth day of the

Palm Beach suit suitable anywhere
in extremely warm weather When he
had to stick to his heavy dark wooden
suits then there may have been reason
why he should go in shirt sleeves but
with the Palm Beach coat this is not
necessary. Moreover 1t is quite pos
sible for him to wear an unstarched
shirt and belt strap, thus eliminate
ing the necessity for suspenders, and
this get-up passes muster for almost
any informal daytime wear in summer.
Remember, too, that it is far better
to wear negligee soft collar and to
wear it fastened than to wear a stiff
collar undone at the necIxband.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"HoosIER"

WHILE Indiana IS known
Wv throughout the country as
the "Hoosier State" the origin
of the term "hoosier" is lost
somewhere in the strange
changes which came over the
Hfnglish language as spoken in
this country during the early
part of the last century. When
the number of uneducated per
sons and the different national
tiles which comprised the
United States at this time Is re-
membered, it is not strange that
some words slipped into the col
loquial tongue without proper
parentage.
Etymologists, however, are
about equally divided as to
whether "hoosier" is a contrac-
ton Of the phrase who's thereY
commonly used as a challenge
among the early settlers of the
Middle West or whether it comes
from "Husher," frequently
heightened to "hoosher," nick
name for the lumbermen who
were skilled in hushing or still
ing their opponents during an
encounter. The word "whooser"
appears in American literature
as early as 1859 and appears to
be derived from the Scotch
''whush" or whisper" possibly
with the added American mean
ing connected with the lumber
men, many of whom settled In
the section now known as In
diana.

FREQUENTLY heard statements to
the effect that business in general
in the United States is not good and
that a decline is setting in are not
borne out by reports from Washing
ton on the transportation of freight.
Here are some Of the facts and fig
ures:
For the third consecutive week and
the fourth time this year, loading Of
revenue freight exceeded the million
mark for the week which ended on
June %, the total for the week being
1902, 740 cars. Freight loading so far
this year has been the heaviest in his
tory.
The total for the week of June %
was an increase of 136,419 cars over
the corresponding week last year, and
an increase of 227, 293 cars over the
corresponding week in 1921. 1t also ex-
ceeded by a wide margin the CORE
spending weeks in 1918, 1919 and 1920
Loading of merchandise and miscel-
laneous freight amounted to 581, PA
cars. While this was a decrease Of
lib cars under the preceding week, it
was an increase of 16,0S5 cars over the
corresponding week in 1922, and an
increase of 112,449 cars over the cor
responding week in 1921.
Loading of grain and grain products
totaled 33,958 cars This was an in
crease of 55 cars over the week before,
but a decrease of 4,172 cars under the
same week last year, and a decrease
of 5,141 cars under the same week in
1921.
Livestock loading totaled 29,251
cars, a gain of 100 cars over the pre-
vious week. While this was a decrease
of 662 cars under the corresponding
week last year, it was an increase of
1918 cars over the corresponding week
two years ago.

X RAY SILVER, Washington repre-
NJ sentative Of the American Farm
Bureau federation, has a scheme to
double the price of wheat, and has put
it up to President Harding and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace. This de-
sirable-for the farmer-thing can be
accomplished, he says, if, with the aid
of the new warehousing and interme-
date credits act, the farmers are au-
thorized to store on their farms a
minimum of 200000,000 bushels of
wheat as a means of avoiding putting
on the market an excessive surplus.
In his telegram to Secretary Wallace,
Mr.. Silver said GAS we have in pres
ent crop and carry over, approximate
Iy 1000 100000 bushels of wheat, with
home consumption of five bushels
per capita or 550,OOO,OOO bushels, and
seed needs of 100000 bushels more,
and possible export outlook of only
15OOOO,OO0 to 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels, can
you not get the President to advise
the farmers to avail themselves at this
time of the new warehousing and in
termedlate credit acts and withdraw
from the visible supply for this year
