Of the public utilities. Trading was
again in large volume.
Banks called about $15,0O0,O0Q in
loans around the middle of the day,
but there appeared to be plenty Of
funds available at the renewal fig
ure of 3k per cent. Wall street was
agrecably surprised by the drop of
more than $2O,000,00 in federal re-
serve brokers' loans.

mon advanced to new peak at III,
on buying influenced by predictions
Of quickening demand from the au-
tomotive industry when the uncer-
tainty regarding the new Ford car is
cleared up. The buying Of General
Electric was based, in part, on the
unexpected retirement Of the COM
pany special stock.
Violent advances took place in sew
cral specialties. Vulcan DEFINING

Pan American issues were again
heavily sold. Pierce Arrow pre-
ferred broke four points and Radio
Corporation sold down two in the
early afternoon.
The closing was stsong. Fresh
buying brought out on large scale
in United States Steel, General Mo-

which eclipsed their previous best
figures. Heavy accumulation also
was under way in Allis- Chalmers,
American Smelling, Chrysler, Wool

half pounds, grown near Bismarck,
was brought here today by w. B. Fall
cOner.
The beet is eight inches in diane

1T can't be beat" was the comment
of number of people who saw it.
Mr.. Falconer also brought with him
a head of Chinese cabbage. Unlike
the common cabbage. this vegetable
grows upright, something like celery.
1t is much used for salads. This
type Of cabbage is something new to
Burleigh county, but the size Of Mr..
Falconer's sample would indicate Il

LOST?
Down in Tennessee, a small group
nf inn
ing lantern, CROPPED their way through
a winding cave. Every once in a
while they hallooed Justify. They
were seeking one Lawrence Ashley.
reported to have been lost therein
for week. Presently came news
that Mr.. Ashley had found his way
out of the cave. They gave up their
search.
Now comes a state official Of
Tennessee to claim that Ashley
was never lost In the cave, but
that the whole think was n fake.
for the purpose Of publicity.
You see, Ashley owned the cave.
To date, the matter hasn't been
settled, but if it was a publicity gag,
it was decidedly we'll executed. Mr..
Ashley got columns Of space in news
papers all over the country. There
probably will be a lot of people who
will want to see the cave where he
was lost" So he will make money.
There il no reason in the world
why such a scheme couldn't be
worked in North Dakota to ad-
vcrtise our Bad Lands. OF course,
losing only one person in the
Bad Lands isn't such 4 trcmend-
Gus thing, but If things could be
arranged SO that a whole cxcur-
sion party of say, several hum
drcd, could lose itself for a week
or two, this section Of the state
would get some fine advertising.
Here is good reason for extend
ing a pressing invitation to President
Coolidge to visit the state. Think of
the excitement should he and Mrs.
Coolidge let themselves be lost! We
would be stealing some Of South Da-
kota's thunder.
But inasmuch as Mr.. Coolidge
isn't coming to North Dakota, VIC
must bide our time. Maybe some
day there will he a president who
likes to fish for catfish. In that
case. no better place could be
chosen than the western part of
the state. And the losing" game
could be worked rs sort Of
sidelfnc.

!. In an action on an insurance
poiicy containing the following pro-
vision, viz:
''This policy contains the en-
tire contract Of insurance, except as
it may be modified by the company's
classification of risks and premium
rates in the. event that the insured is
injured after having changed
his occupation to one classified by
the company as more hazardous than
that stated in the policy, except or

event the company will pay only such
portion OF the indemnities provided
in the policy as the premium paid
would have purchased at the rate
within the limits so fixed by the
company for such more hazardous oc-
cupation."
The real question is, not so much
rs to whether or not the insured has
abandoned the occupation stated in
the policy, but whether or not at the
time Of injury he was engaged in an
other and more hazardous occupation.

WHEAT PRICES
CLOSE STRONG
Best Prices Made in Late
Trade Today-COrn and
Oats Follow Wheat

Chicago, Aug. 26.-<P-Absence of
selling pressure coupled with support
from houses with export connections
confined to dips served to keep wheat
inhighcr ground throughout the day.
Best lr'ccs were made in the late
t"ade. ExpOrt sales were smaller, al
though exceeding 100000 bushels of
wheat. Corn and oats followed
wheat.
Wheat closed strong at a. net gain
of rs to Is cents; corn advanced l
to l y cents; oats were y to q cent
higher, and provisions unchanged to
10 cents rise.
Farmers are expecting between 80
to 40 bushels of wheat per acre if
frost is delayed another 10 days, in
the territory between Calgary and
Red Deer, Alberta, according to ad-
vices current today. The crop, al
though late, is very good. Rain to-
day, along with cooler weather, is
unfavorable for the ripening grain,
but indications point to more favor
able conditions.
The crops in the three prairie
provinces are maturing rapidly, with
cutting already started and should be
general next week, according to re-
port from the Bank of Montreal.
Considerable lodging of grain has
occurred. especially in Alberta, the
statement says, while frost and rust
are reported from sections in Sas-
katchcwan and Manitoba.
About 30 per cent Of the crop be-
tween Aberdeen, S. D., and James
town, N. D., is durum, all matured
and nearly all harvested, with little
pct Aor or m ar
expert at Aberdeen. The average per
acre there, he said, will be Is BUSH
els.
Cold nights recently have held
back the growth of corn, according to
Minneapolis advices. There have
been good rains which will benefit
the crop but several days of warm
weather are necessary to mature part
Of it, the balance being SO late that
there is no hope for it at all, except
to use for silage.
