Author Printed Own Book.

Aspiring to be an author, Jonathan
Leonard wrote story of Cape Cod life
and sumbitted it to a publisher, who
promptly returned it, and thereupon he
sent it to several other publishers one
after the other with the same result,
and finally becoming discouraged, at
the age of so he set about to print the
book through his own endeavors and
by his own hands. He purchased a
small printing press and set the type
himself, printed two pages at a time
until the work was completed. Then he
went out and learned something about
bookbinding and bound 100 volumes,
mainly for the purpose of observing the
formalities of the copyright laws. The
accumulation Of volumes was distributed
among his friends and finally copy fell
into the hands of one of the publishers
who had passed upon it before and he
saw the merits of the work and i'm
mediately arranged for another edition.
In the meantime Mr.. Leonard had writ
ten another book and the same pub
Usher has contracted to handle it also.

States July would approximate $780,

wheat later showed little power to rally.
Corn and oats were relatively firm,
corn starting "a off to y up, and after
ward scoring slight general gains, Pro-
visions went lower.
On top of uncertainties regarding
farm relief legislation, and in addition
to flattering domestic crop reports,
lower Liverpool quotations than were
looked for tended to increase general
selling of wheat. Moreover, a statement
issued here by leading trade authori-
ties indicated surprising accumulation
OF world wheat stocks, representing
about 40 per cent of needs of importing
countries for one year ahead without
regard to the volume supplied by 1929
crops.
The estimated total Of world stocks of
wheat expected to be on hand July l.,
approximately $50 900 900 bushels, would
compare with world carry-over Of only
$4,000, 900 bushels in 1925, with 1884,
100000 bushels in 1927 and 245, 900, 900
in 1928. The increases were stated to
have resulted from a world production
during the last few years much in. ex-
cess OF the worlds consuming capacity.
