At a small gathering my two chill
dren were the leaders in an old game,
which very few persons know in this
age. They and two confederates con-
stituted the Hutchinson Family. The
others left the room and were intro
duced individually to the Family, who
stood in line.

stranger, bowling. How do you do!'

There is much laughter and fun in

Butter Market

Chicago, Sept. l7.-(AP)-Hot
weather is curtailing butter pro-
duction, and storage butter is being
more freely used. AS rule, prices
have advanced to l IL cents
higher than a week ago.
Fancy butter is in light supply,
and with demand fairly active, re-
ceivers effect a ready clearance of
arrivals every day. As the week
progressed, demand for medium
and lower grades improved, SO that
ut no time was there any guam
tity Of these grades available.
A large percentage of the butter
stored during June, July and
August shows a profit to the own
ers at this time, as buyers gen.
orally are willing to pay as much
for the storage goods as for the
fresh.

What the total liability of the
