Thrift.

There is maxim I abhor (abhor's
a stronger word than hate); 1t makes
me very mad and sore and quite in
clined to fight with Fate. "Oh! Time
Is money" some folks say, the folks
who have keen business brains,
economists who spout all day about
mysterious loss and gains. No!
Time is not the same as dough, ye
wizards of mere merchandise. You're
wrong. Economists, / know, despite
the fact that I'm not wise. Time is
not cash, fut Freedom. yes,-a free
dom for the souls fine Highland
Time Is Love and Happiness, and
rosy dawns and star-strewn nights.
We money earn that we can get some
food and clothes. trivial thing, per-
haps a bracelet made of jet-of
course, cash buys the wedding ring!
But Time Is such a gentle nurse; 1t
makes 1T possible to feel the beauty
of the universe; and Time-not cash
our grief can heal!

Velvet Tams for Autumn Use

Organdie tams have been edged

 The campaign continued its highly picturesque tone up to the final min utes, with Eamonn DeNalera's young son lending his shcill treble to hls fathers support, A dramatic tone is also derived from the peaceful vote hunting by republican leaders who have only "come out of the bush.' in 9 manner of speaking, a short time ago.

PRICES BREAK IN.
 GRAIN MARKET ON REALIZING

CHICAGO August 25.-Heavy re- alizing. the result of more general selling induced by the late weakness at Winnipeg, brought about a break in grain prices in the final half hour today, but wheat managed to hold most of it's advance. At the finish wheat here was II @ 7sc higher, with December $1O7Q1.O7A and May $1.12% Q11214; corn was off AQ 9sc; oats a shade to 7se lower, while pro- visions gained 10 to 22M.
 After steady start, wheat futures underwent a moderate setback on light local selling, then advanced sharply above the previous close, on buying much of swhich was by earl fer sellers An upturn in quotations at Liverpool which was attributed to the sharp advance on this side of the. Atlantic yesterday, did much to lift values here in the early dealings. Reports of probable serious lmpalr- ment to the Australian wheat crop, because of excessive rains, also had bullish effect, as did a prediction of thunderstorms for a large part of the grain belt. Such storms, 1t was said, would check threshing ot wheat and oats.
 Buying became more general to- ward the finish. however, as a re- suit of setback in October wheat at Winnipeg. This delivery, al- though selling at an advance of more than 26c early broke sharply and closed at unchanged figures.
 Corn and oats were largely iat- fected by the action of wheat and closed easy.
 Ewing of lard by brokers, thought to Q acting for packers, gave firm ness to provisions.
