'"Well, ye see," said the officer thoughtfully, "it would be deefficult for me tae spot them; but I'll tell ye what I'd dae if were you"
 "What? asked the preacher eagerly.

 The Tribune calls attention to the fact that in the early history of the state the foottrule measurement of wealth and importance there was wheat, and that measure is retained in the minds of many in and out of the state.

BOND VALUES SLOWLY WORK
 WAY UPW ARD
Employment Of Idle Cash Reflected In Buying
 Of Securities
(yY' Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Moderate re- eovery in bond prices last week was attributed to the influence of easy
 money. With the peak of the crop movement passed and commercial bor- rowing fairly well stabilized, surplus funds again flowed back to Wall street. Employment of this idle cash was re- flected in renewed accumulation of ln- vestment securities and slow but steady upward movement in prices. :.
 Absorption of the German loan and several hundred million dollars addl- tional financing in the early part of the month severely taxed the market digestive capacity and offerings were withheld last week to provide a short breathing spell. As result the vol ume of new bond issues totaled only about S65, 100000, compared with more than $150,000,000 in sthe preceding week.
 Big Issues Pending
 The excessive ease with which the in yestment community absorbed new of ferings and a flood of inquiries from insurance companies for high grade bonds brought indications that the cur rent week would see a resumption of financing on a large scale. Offering or a $50, ,OOO, 900 Swedish loan will mark the first important piece of foreign busl- ness since the German bonds were launched. Other prospective issues in ciude $25 100000 Brooklyn Edison 5s SI0. .0O0. GOO to S15, 5,OOO, ,OOO Illinois Cen tral equipment notes and perhaps $lo,- COG, GOO Central Leather bonds.
 Although negotiations for the pro jected French loan still are in nebulous form and offering of the issue here is not expected until after the election, bankers reported that inquiries for the bonds already were beginning to pour in. The favorable reception for the is- sue indicated in the United States is expected to aid the sale of a French internal loan, which will follow.
