advices that large percentage of the
French is unmillable, also were given
attention, and so were assertions that
owing to deficit of moisture a crop
failure was inevitable in sections OF
India.
Highest prices of the day in the
wheat market were attained after the
issuance of a statement by a leading
private crop expert that the 1925 pro-
duction of wheat in this country
would be about 2S1 100000 bushels.
This is 100000 bushels less than the
government forecast representing con-
ditions September |. On the other
hand, an increase of $4,000 bushels
in the United States visible supply to-
tad had no apparent effect on the mar
ket, being substantially what was
looked for.
Frost northwest tended to lift corn
and oats, despite reports that the bulk
of the corn crop Is immune from harm.
Prospects of enlarged arrivals Of corn
here before the end of the month, how
ever, forced September corn down to
a new low price record for the season.
All deliveries of rye dropped under
any previous quotations for the 1925
crop No demand was in evidence.
In line with corn and hogs, the pro-
visions market went higher.

Unofficial reduction of the estimated

RAIN HITS FRENCH CROPS.
Hopes of Big Production in Cereals
Gone Glimmering.

PARIS, August 25 (P).-Hopes that
1925 would see the best cereal crop
France has had in Is. years have been
blasted by the persistent August rains.
Instead of the estimated ninety to
ninety-two million quintals, the yield
is not likely to exceed eighty-two mil
lion. "a quintal equals 100 pounds.)
The rain has not only prevented the
grain from ripening, but threatens to
compromise the harvest, because the
crops are so damp that it will be i'm
possible to put them in the barns, and
unless there is Improvement in the
weather, large part will be lost.
Nevertheless there will be almost
enough to satisfy French needs with
out recourse to importation of wheat
from the United States or Rumania.

MADISON, Wis, August 24-At-

that La Follette-Wheeler progressive
ism" could not be used as the title of
ticket on the ballots in the spcial
senatorial special primary September
15. Arthur 'R. Barry of Milwaukee
had announced that he would be a
candidate for the uneXpired term of
the late Senator La Toilette under
the "Progressivism' designation. The
attorney general says there is no such
party in Wisconsin.
THE designation said the opinion,
was used by the independent candi-
dacies of Robert NJ. La Toilette for
President and Burton X. Wheeler for
Vice President at the last presidential
election and there is no such party"
There can be no such party and you
are not authorized to add a separate
ticket on the primary ballot" the
opinion said to the secretary of state,

For fifty years genuine "PhiIlips

ANNUAL SUM SPENT.
FOR AUTOS AT PEAK
Americans Invest 8 Billions,
One in Every 7 Owning
Machine.

Americans now spend eight billion
dollars annually i'm the purchase and
maintenance of automobiles. with
latest figures showing 1900, 900 pas
senger cars and trucks in use in the
United States one to every seven
inhabitants, according to report
prepared by the American committee
on highway transport for submission
to the third biennial conference of the
Internati tional Chamber of Commerce
at Brussels this month.
The widespread use of the motor
car. the report found, has contributed
much to the increase of billions of
dollars in the wealth and resources
of the country and especially the
revolution this development has
wrought in the life of the farm.
Mistakes. Cited.
The report adds however. that mis-
takes have been made in the develop
ment of motor transportation in the
United States.
''The functions which it could best
serve and its rela ton TO other trans
portation factors" the report eX-
planned were not fully understood
at the outset and ii has taken much
time and money to rectify some of
the errors. Inferior highways have
been made to serve where the cost
of maintenance was unecOnomical
high and traffic justified their re-
placement with higher types. Motor
vehicles have been sold by overen-
thusia site manufacturers or dealers
where their use was not economically
justified or where a different type
was warranted. There has been de-
Structive and in some cases disas-
trous competition between the motor
vehicles and the older esta blished
forms of transportation.
Held Valuable Utility.
"But as the development has pro-
ceeded it has become evident that
motor transportation is utility
which can render valuable service
not alone in the definite additions
which it makes in national wealth,
but TO the more far ching effect
which it has upon the social struc-
ture and the standards of living and
nationalism, The motor car has per-
formed a significant function in
eliminating sectional differences and
the manifold uses of modern high
way transportation are welding the
Nation into a homogeneous whole
The development of motor transpor-
tation which has taken place in the
United States will inevita bly, come
In other countries"

Belief in HOrseshOes
Traced to the Druids

The idea that 1t is lucky TO ind a

folklore as a Druidical survival.
The superstition is peculiar to re

and the Druidical places of worship, as
exemplihed by Stonehenge, made their
inner circle of stones a broken or open

The idea that a horseshoe brings the
