Experts declare that the rye crop of Mime

Ions per acre, with corn grading No. 4, 4 few

Mr.. Qvale's "Musketeers" recently made
brilliant dash into the Polish section of the
city and returned to camp with such galaxy
of "Z's" that the last letter of the alphabet
on every daily paper linotype machine
looked like it had been struck with switch
engine. Hop around little, Qvale, and per-
haps you will hit more gallon marks and not
so many half pints.
A gentleman at Hugo, Mimi, anxious to
assist in pushing the prohibition barge along,
took the civil service examination for posi-
ton on the enforcement squad but before his
commission arrived, he was arrested when
agents found six gallons of giggle lotion and
SO gallons of Hienie's delight in his cellar.
Most of them wait until the sheepskin be-

A St. Paul man, growing weary Of life,
leaned his head up against the muzzle of a
folty-odd howitzer and short-circuited the
mechanism with his trigger finger. The re-
suits were astonishing. He cracked his crown
sheet until it looked like birdseye view of
the Midway Terminal tracks but missed his
brain by several inches. He was either bum
artilleryman or his gray matter wasn't locat-
ed where he thought it was. Sure, he'll live!

holders of wheat tended to emphasize
at times the bearish influence Of

the other hand, reports from Ger
many said deliveries of wheat from
German growers had been reduced to
insignificant proportions and that
rye flour millers in Germany were
using foreign rye almost exclusively
Friends of higher prices for wheat
were giving some attention also to
scattered complaints of lack of snow
protection for domestic Winter
wheat. 1t was contended that sup
plies of wheat in this country would
be so moderated during Spring that
any mishap to the growing crop
would necessarily have unusual
effect.

ing Virginia Beach was also con-
sidered. as q splendid new hotel Is to

company received orders from 33 rail-
ways for Al new interlocking plants
having Il total or 2,046 levers and for
new automatic block signal installa-
tons on 1914 miles of line. Orders
for automatic train controls in 1926
covered the equipment of 80 complete
engine divisions. SO far this year the
company has received orders for
equipping six more complete engine
divisions. Orders for block signals
have also been most encouraging. The
directors have just declared a quar-.

$3.50 on preferred stock.

EDITOR MooRFs OBSERVATIONS
New York Age)


"The Richmond Planet printed the
following unique advertisement as
reading notice at the bottom OF
news column on the first page:
Some people complain about life
but they praise death when the re-
mains are handled by Funeral Di-
rector ..... His increasing pop
ularity is caused by prompt service
ard up,to-date Equipment. Phone
Evidently the praise must be
voiced by the survivors, so that
leaves the opinion Of the principal
ac'or in the ceremony matter OF
conjecture Probably there will be
no rush OF suicides in Richmond to
give support to this glowing testt-
monial."
