Wheat Prices Go Lower :
 As Bears Spread Gloom

Chicago, Aug. co.-Wheat prices averaged lower today during the early dealings. Bearish estimates of the spring crop yield in the Dakotas and Minnesota were a factor. Opening. quotations, which varied from un- changed figures to ic lower, with September 1.27& to 1.2s and Decem- Der 1.32A to 1.ss, were followed by a material setback.
 Warmer temperatures led to a pro- nounced drop in corn. After opening at 1c decline to kc gain, December 1.165 to 1.17, the market showed slight general upturns, but later re- ceded 2c or more under yesterdays finish
 Starting unchanged to 1ac higher December SIX to 57S, oats rose q little further and then went below yesterdays latest figures.
 Provisions were without significant change.

The More Dawes Talks the Happier the Democrats Says Commooee About Acceptance speech.

Springfield, H.. Aug! 20.-William Jennings Bryan, commenting today on the acceptance speech of Charles c. Dawes, republican nominee, who is opposing his brother, Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska for the e-presidency, declared that "the more Mir. Dawes speaks the happier the democrats will be-"
 'He is exhibit A of what reaction ary policies mean" Mir. Bryan added.
 His speech Is just the material that the democratic party needs the most at this time. He and Mir. Cool idge represent the reactionary senti- ment of the nation but Mir. Dawes is more out-spoken In his beliefs than the president Mfr. Dawes says what Coolidge thinks.
 MT. Dawes represents the policies that have brought into existence . party like that led by LaFolletts. He will convince all progressive voters that 1t would be disastrous for the country to elect . republican ticket. In such an event congress would turn democratic for sure to protect the ns- tion from the reaetionary elemsefsLS

 Group movements have been one of the most interesting features of re- cent stock market sessions. Specu- lative interest has shifted from one group to another and frequently some groups would be advancing while others were reacting. but rarely have there been opposing movements on important stocks within the same group. A notable exception, however. is the Pan-American issues which have displayed strength while other oils were heavy, but this probably due to rumors of important develop ments affecting the Doheny interests.
 Coppers and shippings have been the first to discount the expected benefit from the adoption of the Dawes plan. Mail Order and Farm Implement stocks have advanced in reflection of higher grain prices which mean increased purchasing power for the farmer. Textiles, feathers and rubbers have responded to higher commodity prices. Public utilities have been strong on reports of in- creased earnings and super-power de- velopment plans.

MEN MIXED
UP in CHECK
THEFT MONDAY

When Dwyer C. Hayes Of the Bair
Oil Company, came to pay a bill to
DR.. Barber last Monday he gave
that gentleman a check from his
company endorsed by him. The check
was made out for slightly more than
500. and was soon missed by DR..
Barber. The loss was reported to
the Sheriff's office, who. found the
check to have been cashed by the
Aero Oil Products filling station by
G. l.. Woody.
Theft of the check was then traced
to an honor convict from the PEN
itentiary who had been working
around the Barber premises. Since
payment on the check was stopped
as soon as it was missed, the Aero
company is suing Mr.. Woody for it's
face value, and Woody is trying to
reimburse himself by collecting from
the penitentiary prisoner, one Curtis
who gave Woody $50 commission for
handling the paper.
No criminal charge has been filed
against either Woody or Curtis as
yet, and it is believed that settle
ment will be made outside the
courts.
