A narrowing tale of sea was told

the morning the lifeboat from the

HIGH PRICE MAY STAMPEDE

With every indication that there
will be plenty of cars at all points to
handle the wheat crop Of the North
west, the regional advisory board OF
shippers and railroad men concluded
their conference here at 4 o'clock.
Tuesday afternoon, to steam off back
to the Twin Cities and Chicago at
7:20 In the evening on their special
train. The next regional meeting Will
be at Duluth. October %.
As soon as the board session ad-
journed. the joint grand transporta-
ton committee held a brief caucus
and decided to meet August 2 at Min
neApolis to deal with the remaining
problem Of the four states Of Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota and
Montana In the movement OF grain
during this harvest.
This Is the committee which will
try to keep grain moving through the
leading terminals. Duluth : Superior,

the general chairman OF the board.
The situation is p%crplcxing and con.
fusin1 to the men who. like Chair
man Mosher. are authorities on ship
ping problems. especially shipping
problems connected with grain and
livestock movements OF the North
west. They are not certain what to
expect.
May Ignore Storage Plans
Chairman Mosher said In converse
ton that when the Montana regional
meeting was held at Billings. the
present situation was not foreseen.
Then there was a surplus in the cle-
yators and prices had dropped to the
dollar point. There was no incentive
tor farmers to rush their grain to
market to be seen at that time. NOW
Canada's crop has been shot to pieces

acting business. The executive ON
mittee was instructed by the motion
to arrange to transact Its proceedings
in some way conforming with an
early start.
Prorata ALLEGATION Retained
The principal action at the after
moor session was innocent looking
but full Of meaning. It was decided
to continue operating under the pres
cnt a rules instead of adopting the
Kansas Missouri change. This at
fccted a ALLEGATION to elevators.
Under the old rules the farmers and
cooperative elevators will continue to
get cars at harvest on the basis Of
their percentage of prior business.
Under a so : 50 ALLEGATION. the line
elevators would have got more than
what the farmers and co-ops consider
them entitled to in car quotas. It
was suggested that the Kansas-Mis-
souri, territory try out its rules for,
say, five years, then it will be time
to consider whether to follow in the
steps Of that area.
After going back to the Auditorium.
following the luncheon, H. G. Taylor
reported On general traffic conditions.
For the week ending Saturday, July
Is. he said. a loadings had totaled
l,O64. 632. an increase Of a quarter Of
a million over the former record
week Of the same date in 1926.
May Lack Refrigerator Cars
r. c. Miller. a federal grain inspec-
tor Of Minneapolis, made an appeal
for correct loading OF wheat cars, so
that samples could be judged more
truly.
Chairman Moshcr made q talk on
the possibilities Of the new farm stor-
age laws Of Montana and North Da-
kota. He said insurance men striv-
ing to base new insurance on the plan
were skeptical of its practically.
L. w. Kube, of South st. Paul. said
the outlook was good for cars for the
next livestock season.
w. D. Beck. Of Chicago. spoke Of
a possible pinch in refrigerator a n
for shipping potatoes. He said the
potato season would conflict with the
California fruit season. but he as
sured the conference that ordinary
box carr would not be lacking to
piece out the needs of the potato
growers. Marketing of the potato
crop promises to be q rush this year.

That is the situation the joint grand
transportation committee will have
to handle II It occurs.
Europe Key to Any Jam
Foreign buyers may have been re-
lying on 4 hand : to : mouth buying
policy. said Chairman Moshcr in con-
versation after the session, but with
Canada's wheat prospects vanished
and bad news from abroad as to
wheat In. the European countries.
there may be q sudden demand for
export wheat from the present ter
minal points to which wheat has
meant . desperate commercial stu
alton.
European wheat buyers are Begin
ming to realize the situation. in the
opinion Of Chairman Mosher. and he
Is inclined to think that they will be
In the American market soon for
supplies. He said he would not be
surprised by q wheat movement to
Europe within 80 days.
That would simplify the work Of
the joint transportation committee,
as the available storage and han
ding space OF possibly 40 per cent
would be increased by the outflow Of
the old wheat and permit the recep-
ton Of any unusual flow of the new
crop from the Northwestern farms to
market.
Relief II Farmers Store
Another possible element of relief
to the terminals would be the holding
Of wheat on the farms for still higher
prices. according to Chairman
Mosher. With a half crop Is many
farms will harvest. the temptation
will be great to venturesome farmers
to look for better returns on their
otherwise disappointing crop. The
situation has suddenly resolved itself
into a possibility of the farmers
realizing more on their decreased
production than II they had grown a
bumper crop.
The old problem Of the surplus
that has always played havoc in ex-
ira good years has been solved from
another angle than equalization fees
and bounties. The only real law
regulating the business Of the farmer
in the opinion of economists. is
operating, and that is economic law.
The board dealt with the economic
situation through the warm session

comfort crept in at all points. It

Then Molly suggests q compan.

as l never could pray for myself"
And that night Molly knclt by her
apple green bed, and buried her head
in its taffeta coverlet and prayed for
Jack.
In fact, she made something Of a
bargain with God. If He would let
Jack meet Mr.. Billings and get the
contract, she would never be irrever-
ent again, and never SO much as
mention co%mpanionate marriage. .
"And I'll try very hard, God, to be

Next day she was posing with a
group in caps and gowns for a COM

graph messenger rode down the hill
to College Green on his bicycle.

him. "I'm expecting a WIRE"
The boy consulted the yellow en-
velope in his cap.
"Miss Molly Burnham," he said.
Molly tore it open idly. More

Molly tried to keep the joy out of
her voice.
"It's horrible of me-acting so
glad" she confessed contritely. "Bc-
cause my aunt's dcad-and she was
an awfully nice woman. Only l
hardly ever saw her.
"She was a millincr, in a little

Molly swallowed a lump in her
throat, and repentant tears stung
her eyelids.

"Well." Rita Melnotte laughed.
"We're squirming on the pickets of

Rita was matter-of-fact
