son of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Emmons,
had probably the most exciting ride
of his lifetime on Saturday when
he piloted a runaway horse through
several streets and came home with
out a scratch. This latter part II
the stroy seems miraculous. A horse
was standing nearby Wilburss
home when he climbel into the bug

got out on the main avenue, Will
bur applied the whip and soon was
under full swing. Down Railroad
avenue, through Church street and
opposite the home of Judge Kirk
patrick Wilbur figured that he had
enough and jumped to safety. The
runaway turned into Willow street
and crossed the railroad and turned
into the property of Charles Thomas
where it suddenly stopped. Wilbur
soon followed the animal to the
starting oint all f1ustered at the ex-
element he had created and was
found unframed by his parents and
citizens who had seen the beginning
of the wild ride.

BY GEORGE II. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy News)


Perth Amboy News
WASHINGTON, July % The
Republicans are going 20 get a
sound thrashing in New Jersey in
1924, in the opinion of Representa-
tive Isaac Bacharach of Atlantic
City, dean of the Jersey delegation
in Congress, who is frank enough to
admit 1t in conversation and in
writing.
The coming defeat can be direct
ly attributed, Mr.. Bacharach as
serts, to the administrators de-
voting its attention to the Harding
world court and other far-off inter-
national affairs, instead of giving
the people cheaper coal and cheaper
sugar and satisfying them regarding
prohibition.
While in Washington Friday, Mr..
Bacharach gave quite free express
sion to his belief that the people of
New Jersey are thoroughly disgust
ed with the Harding administra-
TONS continual chirping about
world courts. International affairs
and entirely abstract questions
while ignoring the zeal ills beset-
ting the people.

ADVANCES IN PRICES DUE
TO HOLDING BACK OF GRAIN

Slight advances in wheat prices
that characterized the grain markets
in the opening weeks of the fall SELL
ing this year were partially due to
TIE holding back of grain on the mar
ket of the southwest, according to
Bruce Lampson, manager of the Colo
RADIO Wheat Growers association. in
a speech at Longmont last Thursday.
"The fact that wheat took on
firmer tone in spite of the harvest
season is direct illustration Of just
what holding back from dumping
will accomplish" said Mr.. Lampson.
Members Of the cooperative associa-
tions have been responsible for hold
ing millions Of bushels from the fall
market. Other farmers who have hesi-
tated to sell at the low prices also
have helped the move.
Consequently, the market showed
the result of not being flooded. In
normal falls, when wheat is dumped
in large quantities, the price has fall
en-. This year, with wheat being held
back, the price rose. Late market re-
ports indicate, however, that the mar
kets are being piled up. The unor-
ganized farmer is selling, and the
market is liable to buckle-up under
his load of wheat almost any time"
