Figures Big Saving In
Quantity Cement Purchase
Commissioner Babcock Believes State
Will Buy at 15c to l30c Barrel
Under Contractors Prices

Good roads fund savings of from
$4,000 to $150,0O0 this year will
result according to Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
through purchase by the state direct
of about 100000 barrels of portland
cement for 1926 paving and other
construction on Minnesota trunk
highways.
Bids recently opened in public and
taken under advisement ranged
around $1.S0 a barrel, plus freight
delivered Iat various highway con-
struction Jobs. Mine concerns sub
mitted proposals, the majority being
direct from the mills.
Commissioner Babcock placed the
state saving ait between Is and 80
cents barrel and said it probably
will aggregate $4,000 under the
estimate possible. 'The state is buy
| ing now ON the lowest market-ten
cents barrel below the normal level
and that is certain saving from
the price contractors would pay later
when contracts are awarded" said
Mr.. Babcock. "Then the state is sure
also of taking advantage of the dis
count of 10 cents a barrel for cash
payment, a thing which less than half
, the contractors did, and of avoiding
some commissions and other items.
I am confident that not less than 10
cents barrel will be saved and there
will be other gains by quantity buy
ing. h
Although the call was for prices
on 100000 barrels, the commissioner
said the actual purchase probably will
be nearer 50O,000,' that being the
approximate amount needed for per-
manent highway improvements in
prospect for this year 90
Highway engineers said that aside
from the cash saving, the state pur-
chase of cement is expected to afford
other advantages, such as eliminating
any incentive for contractors to use
less than specified, assuring cement
of highest quality through mill in.

PUBLICITY ARTIST

Sinclair Lewis is the boy who
knows how to get lot of free adj
vertising. He was down in Kansas
City the other day and told the fac
ulty of a Methodist college that the
yell of the students of that institu-
ton was rotten" and that there was
need of better instructors and less
class. yells.
Then he took a poke at the town
pride which has two million dollar
memorial monument for the soldiers
who went over and licked Germany,
by telling them it was teutonic
specimen of architecture, and would
look much better in some Germany
city than in Kansas City.
These remarks were sent all over
the country, which of course was
Sinclair's object in giving voice to
his caustic comments. Had he com
plimented both the college and the
|vcity, it would not have been given a
line in any paper outside Kansas
City.
His story of his northern trip a
couple of years ago, begins in Col
Tiers in February. He made the
start with his brother, DR.. c.. b.
Lewis of St. Cloud, but quit when
it was half over, but the doctor fin
ished the whole journey, and made a
diary record of the expedition, which
to the doctor was very enjoyable.
When Sinclair started to write OF
the trip, he drew on the doctor for
his notes. Sinclair will get several
thousand dollars for the story, and
the doctor will have the pleasure OF
buying a copy of Golfers and read
ing the elaboration of his record in
Sinclair's readable style. Cloud

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-LR1-Wheat to-
day finished at the lowest closing price
level reached here in weeks. One of
the reasons given was a sharp down
turn in the Winnipeg wheat market
together with reports that the Cana
dian growers pool was selling and that
unofficial Canadian crop estimates had
been increased Chicago closing quo
tions on wheat We're unsettled at IL
cents to B cents net decline, with
corn showing 1s cent to u cent ad
vance, oats * cent to rs cent down
and provisions ranging from 10 cents
off 20 a rise of two cents.
Pronounced weakness in the wheat
market here followed price bulge
that accompanied reports of heavy
rains over northern Argentina, where
harvesting is under way. Evidence,
however, that the Buenos Aires market
was unaffected by the rains led to
skepticism here as to any i'll results.
A consequence was much selling out
on the part of operators who earlier
had purchased because of the Argen-
tine advices indicating a wet harvest.
Additional pressure to sell wheat
here developed later in the day, ap-
parently good deal on account of
talk of the Canadian pool unloading
With but little demand here in evil
dence toward the last, Chicago wheat
prices dropped rapidly and the close
was at virtually the days bottom fig
ures. Reports at hand indicate that
Canadian wheat is piling UP fast, g.
100000 bushels increase for the week
including low grade wheat to an un-
usually large extent. In addition.
crop estimates from railroad sources
indicated 4O5,O0O,OO0 bushels yield in
the Canadian prairie provinces, a
larger amount than :he recent govern
ment forecast. Wet weather falling
off in receipts and notice of material
reduction of the yield of corn in the
leading surplus states as compared
with last year tended to strengthen
the corn market. Oats were respon-
sive to wheat weakness.
Provisions averaged lower, reflect
ing the course of hog values.

Dealings in the general run Of
stocks were somewhat restricted by
the maintenance of n 5 per cent rate
for call funds, although this was re-
garded as merely temporary stiffen-
ing incident to inid-month financial
settlements. A revival OF pool opera
tions was suggested by the execution
OF large buying orders for some of the
popular industrials in the final few
minutes of trading. News of an i'm

the signal for a spirited demonstra-
tion in Baldwin, which lifted the stock

Oddly enough, Spot attracted little
attention here. He was on a leash. of
course, and the scattered tables helped

Panton was sure that the barman
gave Furneaux a sharp glance, and
| just as quickly decided to look at any

4 John by saying in response to the re-
quest for brandy:
| Are you a new member"
| II suppose So" said John.
What's your name?"
John Panton."
Hell it is." snarled the man by
Johns side.
This individual had been slouching
against the counter, resting his ell
bows on a zinc slab and digging his
clenched fists into his Jaws, but he
whirled around now with an animal
like alertness. his arms dropped and
his right hand passed beneath his coat
in the direction of hip pocket.

a curiously authoritative way.
1t was Spot who brought about a
real crisis. He stiffened and growled,
and was ready to spring, so Panton,
knowing he would be obeyed, said
!"T'chun!'

dropped. but the familiar comma nd
had an extraordinary effect on the
surly fellow who resented Panton's
presence so thoroughly. For a second

/ head was lifted, his hands fell, and
his heels nearly clicked. Then he re.
membered.
"'Tchun, YOURSELF" he cried. almost
in falsetto. "Some blistertng nerve
you've got, Panton, butting in here
and calling an old soldier to atten'
tion!'
Johns right fist clenched. Just in
time, Furneaux broke in:
"You two seem to know each other"
he cackled cheerfully. 'The war is
over now. Let bygones be bygones."
John swallowed both his wrath and
the insult.

in most casual way:
