In the Villas County News on
July 23rd, 1924, appeared an
article which wound up as
follows:
1T promises to be rather
a lively campaign before cleo
ton and undoubtedly many
figures as to county expendi-
lures will be shown publicly.
With two tickets in the field
there will be a lively contest
after the primaries in Sep
TENDER. 1t is stated that
there will be showings made
that will throw a boomerang
into the ranks of some indi-
viduals.
Politics is a strange bed
fellow. Pet it and try and
be it's friend and it will give
you the worst form of hydro
phobia; slam it in the jaw
with cold figures and it will
cringe, tuck it's tail between
its legs and fade into obliv-
ion or something like that.
Anyhow the promise h a S
been made that there will be
some fun before election and
the public will watch de
velopments.
If the county needs purg-
ing let it be ''purged'.

 NEARLY A CENT
Drop Due To Belief Un- favorable Crop Condi-

NEW YORK, June 4.ABelief that last months unfavorable crop condi- tions had been discounted and that con tinuanee of the present better weather would promote a rapid recovery in yield prospects were chiefly responsible for declines of nearly cent a pound in the cotton market today. There was liquidation from the start and many stop orders were uncovered OH the break which carried October contracts off to 25.83, or 97 points net lower and 167 points below the high price touched. on the publication of the government crop report at the beginning of the week. Last prices were the lowest of the day, with the market easy at net losses of 91 to 100 points.
 The market opened easy at decline of 17 to 28 points in response to weak Liverpool cables and favorable wealth CT map. Covering appeared from time to time during the day, but rallies met increased offerings. The tone, how ever, was generally weak. or unsettled, with liquidation becoming more active and general in the late trading.

WHEAT CLIMBS TO HIGHER LEVEL Values Are Lifted By Broader Speculative
 Demand

CHICAGO. June 4.-Broader specu- lative demand based partly. on higher quotations at Winnipeg and partly on bullish opinions about farm legislation gave a decided upward swing today to the wheat market. Closing prices for wheat were firm at 5sc to 2hc net gain, July $1.05h to $1.05A and September S1.06B to $1.07, with oats showing 4 @Bc to- 11ac advance and provisions 12@15c down. f,..,
 Wheat began to climb almost as soon as business began. With dry weather complaints coming from the American and Canadian northwest and from the Pacific coast states, the Chicago mar ket quickly responded to strength shown at Winnipeg where July delivery went 10 larger premium over Chicago, de- spite buying here and selling there. Besides, in some quarters the defeat of the McNary- -Hausen bill was taken as motive for greater confidence on the part of numerous buyers who were said to have been awaiting what was described as normal functioning of the market aside from the legislative factors.
 On the other hand. moves today for enactment of substitute farm bill at Washington seemed also to have a de- cided stimulating effect.
 Highest prices of the day in the wheat market were attained after re- ports became current that a draft of the proposed substitute farm measure had been submitted to President Cool idge. Gossip that exporters were buy ing at Winnipeg and that a good ex- port business likewise was being done in domestic wheat had considerable effect.
 Unfavorable weather. including frost i,' some sections of Illinois, did much to lift the corn market. In oats, ship ping call was brisk
 Provisions were easier in line with hog market declines and slowness of export call for lard.

GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO. June 4-Todays was a broad and active market, with the northwest credited with early buying and the east later. Selling was scat tered, with pressure from hedges much lighter than expected. Cash was up with futures. Seaboard reported 25O. .000. Manitobas worked and said there were persistent reports of gulf wheat having been worked, but combinations were not to be had. Winnipeg was strong and higher. Minneapolis was steady, with stocks there showing 100000 bush els decrease for four days. Rains over the domestic and Canadian spring wheat sections were said to have been inade- quate. There was no selling pressure and limited buying encouraged by strength in wheat sufficed to bring about fair uptuIn in corn. Cash con tinued good, and this also proved help full. Crop reports told of backward conditions, with wire worms doing con siderable damage in South Dakota. Oats were more active. Sound demand, re- gently so urgent at river markets, was said to be making It's appearance here. HI. & B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Co.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, June 4.-The cotton market was reactionary today from start to finish, due almost entirely to more favorable weather conditions. July opened 24 points down and traded eventually at 28.72, or S7 points below the close of Monday. New crops de- veloped even greater weakness. October declined from 25.70c, 30 points off at the opening. to 25c right at the close. December dropped from 25.43c at the start to 24.75c, both the active new crop months showing net losses of an even 100 points. The close was at the low est, showing net losses of s7 to 100 points:
 While there were rallies of 10 to IS points at various times, they were In every case short lived, as the selling proved heavier than the market could readily absorb, except at a steady de- cline in values. Tn start was $15O a bale lower on new crop months and a trifle less on July, the only remaining old crop month. Liverpool cables were poor, the English market being de- pressed at the weakness shown ;, by American markets following the low government condition report of Mon day.
 The initial decline was due to a gen eral belief in the prevalence of more favorable weather. The map when post GU conIlrmed this impression, as 1t showed fair and warmer weather In the western and central portions of the belt and moderate rains in the east. The official forecast also pointed to fair weather in the greater part of the belt, which added to the bearish feeling.
 Even the unfavorable weekly weather report showing poor crop conditions, ex- cept in the southern portions of Geor- gia and South Carolina, had only a rlfNVVNA NAraA Anrs rsfl t-.s.- selling. Advices that the situation in the dry goods market showed improve nlent with larger sales of piece goods and some mills resuming full time had but brief sustaining influence and the market was weakest in the final trad ing, the last transactions showing the lowest prices for the day.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS, June 4.-New crop values lost 100 points and July s7 to- day as a result of a selling movement brought on by sunshine and warmer weather over the western and central belt and forecast of generally fair weather overnight. The map showed general rains and cool weather over the eastern half of the belt, and the weekly review was one of the most unfayorable issued this season for the western and valley states. Sentiment somehow has turned to the selling side largely on the theory that higher tenn peratures and sunshine point to a per- manent change in the weather for the better and to improvement in the crop outlook. Smallness of outside buying and general slowing down of business were contributing factors. The map it. self, according to the best private read CTS, gave evidence of the formation of another cool wave in the far northwest, which may bring more unfavorable weather into the bell in a' day or two. If It does, we are apt to witness a considerable covering movement.-Fen- ner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, June 4.-Cotton broke nearly a cent today because of good weather, favorable forecast and weak technical condition of the market, due to long cotton held over Mondays re- port. The offerings came from all di- rections. Liverpool and London were large sellers. The chief support ap- parently came from short covering on the decline. The weekly weather re- port was bullish from beginning to end, but 1t did not save the market, as Oc- tober broke 40 points after it was post ed. The market will probably soon be- come oversoId and be in shape to kick back sharply on any pnfavorable turn

BONDS REGISTER
 MODERATE GAIN
Sentiment Improves On Approach Of Congress
 siOnarl Adjournment

NEW YORK, June 4.-Expanded investment buying, reflecting an abund- ance of money and the improved senti- ment created by the forthcoming ad- journment of Congress, brought about moderate advances in bond prices to- day. Four liberty bonds issues slowly forged ahead under the impetus of steady accumulation.
 With the danger of adverse legisla- tion against the railroads minimized in the waning session of Congress, obliga- tions of the carriers displayed a firm tone. Gains of point or so were re- corded by numerous issues, including Reading General 4h's New Haven convertible 6's "Soo" 5's and Chicago and Eastern Illinois 5's. West Shore As reached a new high level for the year at S1%.
 Influenced by the sharp rise in the stock, American Waterworks 5's bounded up two points to the years best price at 90. Other public utilities issues also were in demand, particular ly in outside" trading. Virginia Carolina per cent certificates strengthened in response to the fore closure proceedings taken to protect the bond holders. i
 Bankers who previously have han dled financing for the Bolivian govern ment indicated that new loan for about $5,000,000 would be placed on the market this week. Offering of the bonds, which probably will bear eight per cent interest is expected on Friday at price of 95. Listed Bolovian bonds were active today around the years best levels. New York City's S67 ,300,0O0 stock and bonds were quickly subscribed upon being offered today.
