LOVE AUCTION
lisa FAILURE
Parents Estranged by Act of
Girl Who Offered Self to
Highest Bidder

Milwaukee, July 21.-tR-Her
parents estranged, perhaps perma-
nently through her efforts to pro.
vide for them in comfort the rest of
their lives, Beatrice Albert. once
known as the auction girl, has de-
cided to dismount from the block. v
Il have definitely decided to
withdraw my offer to marry anyone
who would give my parents $4,000
for their maintenance the rest Of
their lives" she said, today. "be-
cause as a result of my first bar
gain my father and mother are
separated. perhaps forever"
Miss Albert. the 19-year-old Siren,
Wis, girl created sensation six
months ago by offering herself as
the wife Of the highest bidder. To-
day, however, back in Milwaukee
where she has lived with her family
for two months at the expense Of w.
w. Goynes, postmaster Of Soldiers
Home, she said she had changed her
mind.
Money Not All
"My parents happiness" she said
sorrowfully. "can not be obtained
with money alone. Back in their
two-room frame home in Siren they
were happier than they are now in
comparative luxury"
Her father, feeling that Miss Al
bert should marry Mr.. Goynes, with
whom the family has lived for three
months, refused to leave Milwaukee
and Mr.. Goynes' house. The two
men, on the best of terms. are plan
ming long fishing trip together.
Mr.. Albert is adamant and declares
he will have nothing to do with his
daughter unless she "does the hon
orable thing" and marres Mr.. Coy
mes.
Her mother, on the other hand,
just as set against Mr.. Goynes as
her father is for him, refuses to al
low her to reconsider the offer of
the elderly postmaster.

WHEAT SWINGS
DOWN ON NEWS
Spring Crop Reports Continue
Good; Winter Receipts Are
Heavy

Chicago, July 21.-tP)-Influenced
largely by forecast Of widespread
cool weather suspicious TO-. welfare
of the spring wheat clop, wheat
values underwent a sharp setback
today. Houses with connections
northwest led the selling. and Chi
cago December delivery touched a
new low price record for the season.
Export demand today for wheat
from North America wa; slack,
greatly in contras, with activity
shown on the day before.
Wheat closed heavy. 1Bc to 3bc
net lower. corn 12c to lhc off, oats
at Sc decline to lsc advance, and
provisions uncha yed to &c down.
In connection with selling from
the northwest and with weakness of
the Winnipeg wheat market today,
reports at hand here
said the Canadian crop was making
good progress and that throughout a
large part of the prairie provinces
eighty per cent of wheat is headed.
1t was added that moisture is plen-
ttful for the filling Of the crop, and
that the weather has been holding
rust development in check.
Arrivals of newly harvested win
ter wheat southwest continued today
to be reported as of record breaking
large volume. For example, Kansas
City had LIPS cars against 9S5 a
week ago and compared with 400 on
the corresponding day last year. An
other big total was at Hutchinson,
Kansas, which reported today an
aggregate Of TO cars.
Weakness in wheat had depressing
influence on corn futures. Corn
trade. however, was largely local.
Chicago corn receipts today were 300
cars, and cash prices 1c to 1}ac low
err. Deliveries here on July con-
tracts today were 100000 bushels.
Country offerings continue light.
Weather was generally favorable.
Oats prices were heavy owing to
weakness Of other grains.
Provisions became easy, sympa-
thizng with a decline in hog values.

STOCKS HAVE
A DULL DAY

New York, July 21.-fR)-Ex-
IRENE dullness characterized today's
brief session of the stock market.
Price movements again were inde-
cisive, due to the failure Of pools to
attract an outside following and the
absence Of any concerted selling
pressure.
The optimistic tenor Of weekly
trade reviews was offset by fears Of
further credit stringency when the
remaining federal reserve banks
raise their rediscount rates to five
per cent, and banks are called upon
to finance the fall movement of
crops.

tein lighter.

Known to HooSierS

A number of Indianapolis per-
sons with summer homes at north
ern Indiana lakes either knew or
heard much of Diamond joe ES-
posito. He had en- elaborate Italian
villa at Bass Lake. near Knox. Ind,
where he and his family spent much
time each summer
A dozen or so children, either
those of Joe's or numerous rela-
tives, romped about the place, the
most elaborate of the hundreds
around the big lake.
Diamond Joe" always was
watched with a bit of awe by other
"cottagers." He never left his
grounds without two bodyguards.
They kept their guns hidden, but
everybody felt that the two dark,
silent men always were ready for
business.
Diamond Joe" put up mo park
ing" signs all along the front of his
place and every one knew he meant
it. Whenever a stranger in the
territory happened to disobey the
signs, the guards would view the
stranger from distant vantage
point If satisfied that he was in
nocent of designs upon Diamond
Joe, they would permit him to re-
main. but if there appeared to be
any cause for suspicion, they would
step out to the parked car and in
variably the stranger would drive
on Immediately.
Two or three times last year
strange cars with unidentified men
cruised about the lake, giving the
cottagers a thrill.
