FARMERS AND sPATs

Representative Williams Of
Illinois defends the rights of
farmers to wear spats. The
Constitution gives them this
privilege, he says. There is
Jealousy because some farmers
do wear spats, he declares.
That real dirt farmers wear
spats will be news to many
people. Never saw one and
never expect to see one wearing
spats. How would a cute pair
Of fawn colored spats look after

But I'm sure they're not as rare
Az dirt farmer wearing spats.

Between two green and lovely lands,

For love thrills through the very AIR,

dogs barking was positively shock
ing"
Judge schuldt gave Beach until
next Wednesday to part company"
with his dog. or pay a fine.
"But / love my dog" Beach
pleaded, 'and he Is so attached to
me that hate to lose him." The
court was adamant.
1.-THE time is, soon coming when sll
dogs win be barred from the Dis
trict," Judge Schuldt said.

compared with s,727,7O9 last year and
9,51S,946 two years ago, made bull
ish impression on sentiment in the cot
ton market at the opening today.
First prices were firm at an advance
of % to SIS points and by the end of
the first hour active months showed
net advances of so to 65 points, De-
cember selling at 20.07 and March at
20.36.
The advance encountered a good
deal of Southern selling and realizing,
but offerings were absorbed by active
covering and fresh buying. which was
accompanied by comment on the gin
ming figures as tending to confirm the
smaller estimates of the crop.
The advance later extended to 20.2S
for December and 20.55 for March, or
about 80 to SO points above yester
days closing quotations. In the case
of December contracts this represent
ed a recovery of Sc points from the

CHICAGO. October 25.-Wheat val.
ues scored an early advance today in

and by cOnf1rmat ton that European
import requirements this year will be
liberal. Besides. North American ex-
port business overnight was said to

ditional gains. Corn, oats and provi.
sions were likewise firmer. Corn start.
ed at 'h off to Il up, sagged a little
and then rose all around to above yes
terday's finish.
Despite considerable selling on
northwestern account, wheat dis
played relatively strong tone much
of the time today. In this connection
special notice was taken of acknowl-
edgement from a leading British au-
thority that breadstuff needs abroad.
Germany and Italy in particular,
promised to be on large scale Es-
Inmates were also at hand that Aus
tralia would furnish a surplus of
only 50,000,000 bushels compared with
1t0,0O0,000 from the previous crop.
1t was pointed out today that the
European rye crop was nearly 1885,
100000 under the five-year pre-war
average and that the United States
rye crop is almost negligible in con-
trast with the European shortage.
According to current trade gossip,
Germany alone may import an amount
equal to the entire United States
surplus of rye.
