NEW YORK, July 23.-Poor pros
poets are developing into splendid
financial results so far as the grain
and livestock growers of the country
are concerned.
Wheat has had a sensational ad.
vance just when the farmers were in
position to SELL That means actual
cash profit in the farmers pockets
provided he takes advantage of the
opportunity. Corn also is following
wheat up and livestock is high and
likely to go higher. This means that
the farmer who markets his corn in
the form Of meat has a profit in front
Of him.
There Is a widespread theory in
agricultural circles that prices always
go down when the farmer wants to
sell and go up when he has sold. This
year, wheat growers have chance to
sell on an advancing market. Whether
they will do so or not they alone can
decide. Many Of them did not sell
last Summer until prices dropped
not afford to sell. This is held &C
countable for the huge amount of
wheat from the 1928 crop still in
storage.
The causes Of the wheat advance.
according to the conclusion today of
the Farm Belt Corn Dailies, recognized
authority on Midwestern conditions. are
reduced crop in Canada and some of
the Northwestern Spring wheat States
and reduction in some of the other
surplus wheat producing countries.
The price has amounted to between
so and so cents above the low of the
crop season and the present price Is
profitable.
The Farm Dailies estimates the wheat
crop now at 833, 1863 900 bushels which
compared with a final yield of 902-
100000 in 1928 and 878,374,000 in

Paton's Digest has the following to
say in regard to the law, which Is pro-

Of 1909:
Without going into its underlying
history. the purpose OF the law In ques-
ton was to prohibit the issue or circu-
lation Of instruments in sums less than
81, designed to be used as fractional
currency. and it was never intended to
apply to checks on banks, given in ordi-
nary course of business, primarily for
the purpose of payment rather than
circulation"

Considerable interest was aroused
among local bankers in a report pub
lished In The Star July 10 to the effect
that Henry Ford, in issuing a 2-cent
check had violated a Federal statute
passed in 1909. Publication of this re-
port caused a search of banking laws
and the suggestion was made that the
statute be repealed In the interest OF
financial institutions and business men
who sometimes find 1t necessary to is
sue checks for less than 81.
Thomas P. Hickman, vice president
and cashier of the Franklin National
Bank, was one of those who took an in
tereSt in the matter. He consulted
Paton's Digest, where he found that
checks for less than 81 are not pro-
hibited by law when issued in the regu-
lar course OF business payments.

How ever, MT. Ripley is wrong Presidents Tyler, Fill more, Johnson and Arthur not elected Presi- dent They succeeded to that position from the -Predency and became respectively the tenth thirteenth seventeenth and twenty Presidents Therefore, must substract five from the thirty one list of Presidents to give the number of men actually elected President Twenty-six is the answer.
 Presidents Roosevelt and Coolidge succeeded to the Presidency from the Vice-Persidency but subse- quently each of them elected President, and were respectively the twenty-sixth and thirtieth cupants of the Chief Magistracy
 While President Hoover is the thirty-first Presi- dent and the twenty sixth person to be elected President he is only the twenty-fifth occupant of the White House. President Washington never

 And in flash. the Little Black Clock had turned the time back and had taken the children to huge pumpkin field.
 "We1l sit nearby" the Little Black Clock said, and listen to what is going on. If we're too near we may disturb the pumpkins at their great meeting"
 So the Little Black Clock and John and Peggy sat at the edge of the field and watched ar d listened to the meeting of the many pump KlnS BaCNereu tleIe.
 None had come from away. It was entirely local pumpkin meet ing, but there were many, many pumpkins belonging to the field and they were all talking.

It football which England for so many ceituries sought to prohibit and, if American liquor laws seem particularly humorous to them new The American Historical Review publishes facts which may serve to remind the British how seriously their ancestors regarded what now is approved and established form Of play.
 The information is distributed at time of year when, each Saturday, great throngs in this country fill the college amphitheatres As now play ed in the United States, football is rather diff ferent game from Rugby, and entirely unlike the football against which the Mayors and Sher11s of London inveighing from the fourteenth century onward That, under the name of soccer or "old Gaelic" continues to be played, but the football game wherein the ball is carried part of the time by the players is most widespread Yet the devotees of all forms of the sport will recognize as definitely ancestral Barclays lines written in 1514

Queen CharlOttes Rich.

It seems to be the lot of a new country or d new district to be more or less the prey of all the richer countries or richer districts and to su11er thereby Take the Queen Charlotte Islands as all example. There they had the finest stand oi Sitka spruce on the continent and they still nave A considerable amount left. This valuable timber is all taken away to be manufactured. In the past everything the islands had has been taken away but of late canneries have been established there to take care of their fish which have been an advantage to the place.
 Just as Prince Rupert has had to fight every inch of the ground to secure any recognition, so Queen Charlotte Islands will have to do likewise Gradually as the islands settle up, transportation will improve and conditions of living will improve Some day those islands will have most important place in the development of Northern British Co., umbia and Prince Rupert people should study them and give every possible encouragement. We fancy we sec a new era of development about to dawn there.
