SEPTEMBER WHEAT
TOPS Sl.5O MARK
Liverpool Advance and Soar
ing Prices at Winnipeg
Boost Buying Power
CAUSES DAMAGE
Canadian Prospects for Aver
age Crop Anything But
Encouraging

Minneapolis, July 17-September
wheat topped the $1.50 mark in the
peak price for the current bull
movement was 9 5-8c above yes
terday's reactionary close. An ex-
cited advance at Liverpool and
soaring prices at Winnipeg, where
heavy buying was stirred by re-
ports of temperatures ranging
around 100 over the dry western
provinces, brought broadening buy
ing power into the local pit.
September wheat reached
S1.52 7-8 near the close and finish
ed at $1.52 3-S to $1.52 1a.
Winnipeg prices climbed 914c to
1O1ac, October reaching $1.67 3-S,
and Chicago prices ran up SC to
&c, September hitting $1.49 7-8.
Hedging against heavy southwest
ern receipts checked the leading
market early but with trade the
heaviest in years priced doomed
toward the close.
Liverpool was due slightly lower,
but opened higher on Canadian
news and continued Try weather
in Argentina and Australia. Close
in the English market was 7-S to
5 7-S higher for the day.
Reports from Chicago crop ex-
perts continued to note lowering of
already poor crop prospects.
B. w. Snow, dean of the Chicago
experts, was in Minneapolis on his
way to Chicago after completing
an inspection tour covering a large
part of the Canadian west. "The
Canadian crop is very short as a
whole" Mr.. Snow said. "Only a
few limited districts promise to
make two-thirds of last years
yield. It is a question whether the
western provinces can produce
more than 3OO,O00,0OO bushels
against the official estimate of
507, 100000 bushels last year, and
trade figures indicating that act
ual production was $4,000, 600
bushels.
"The entire trouble with the crop
was lack of moisture last fall and
through the winter and spring. The
four days beginning last Saturday
brought high temperatures and
considerable wind, which did more
damage than any other factor this
year. With the ground abnormally
dry the plants got no moisture
through the roots to replace that
absorbed by the heat. Southwest
ern Saskatchewan, west central
Saskatchewan and the north two
thirds of Alberta, except the small
area in the Peace river country,
are hardest hit, the crop being
more than cut in half"
Advance of 5 3-4 cents was scor-
ed today by September rye, which
advanced to $1.15h, and Septem-
ber flaxseed scared 11h cents,
reaching $2.88. Other grains were
comparatively quiet.

New Trucks Are Added to
Help Reduce Washboarda
Highway Department Adds More
Motor Equipment-Will Aid
in Fighting Snow.

Fifty-six new heavy duty trucks
are being put into service by the
maintenance division of the Min
nesota Highway department this
month, as another step in the mot
orization of maintenance work on
the state trunk highways. The
trucks are of five standard makes.
They will be distributed. among the
sixteen maintenance districts.
The new trucks are painted a
bright orange, to make them con-
spicuous and help to prevent acci-
dents. Each truck is equipped to
pull grader tor smoothing g!c;ei
roads. Push snow plow in winter
and haul gravel and other material
needed in highway maintenance.
Special lights are provided for use
in snow plowing work.
Highway maintenance at the
start was all done by team patrols,
but motorized equipment was in
troduced gradually and last year
more than half of the system was
maintained by power machinery.
The new trucks will permit fur
ther extension of motor mainten-
ance, although teams will still be
used on some of the routes with
lighter traffic.
An equal number of old trucks
was traded as part payment for
the new units, but most of the old
trucks were of type too light for
snow plowing and grader work.
The new equipment will help to re-
duce the washboards which are
produced by heavy traffic on un-
paved roads in summer and will
assure quicker opening of snow
blocked highways next winter.

Gasoline must now have special

Tribute To Late Hiram Finley

The subject of this sketch, Hiram
Finley, son of John and Deborah
Finley, was born Dec. %, 1888, and
died June s, 1929, aged 81 years,
five months and s days. He was a
veteran of the Civil war, being of
patriotic instinct and rearing. When
the call to arms for preservation OF
the union was sounded by Abraham
Lincoln, he enlisted as private as
one of the $4,000 volunteers, and
was assigned to the 9th Ohio Cavalry
in October, 1862, under General
Sherman, and participated in the
dramatic and historical march to the
sea. His military record is a glor
ious one and worthy to be cherished
along with his superiors in the niche
of fame carved for the old Buckeye
state by her heroic sons. On re-
ceiving his discharge he returned
home and won as his bride Miss Le-
titia Woodward on June %, 1865.
To this union were born seven chill
dren: Will, Guyman, oklahoma;
Howard, Texas: Charles, Sayre, with
whom he made his home during the
past several years; Fred, Los An
geles, Calf; Gertrude, Ethel and
Mrs. Morgan DeVore. The three
daughters and their mother preced-
ed him to the better land. He also
leaves three brothers: John, SCOTS
Bluffs, Neb.; David and Albert, Nor
gan county, Ohio; II grandchildren
and IS great grandchildren who
mourn their loss. The deceased was
converted and became affiliated with
the Methodist Episcopal church, Lo-
Gust Grove in 1888. Later he help |
ed build the Fairmount church to
which he transferred his member
ship.
Funeral services were held in !
Deerfield church and interment !
made in the cemetery adjoining. He |
was man of rather unusual intelli- |
genco, full of honor, ripe in expert |
ence, and securely entrenched in the |
hearts of his fellowmen, active, |
spirited. interested in the affairs of |
the day, charming in his command |
of English and in personality. With |
him it was always spring with It's |
bursting buds and songs of birds
June, with its radiance and buoy
ancy, it's sunshine and flowers. he |
lived long, laughed often, and loved |
much: he filled his niche and finish
ed his task; he left the world better |
than he found it; looking for the |
best in others and giving the best |
he had; whose life was an inspira- |
tion, whose memory will be ben
ediction always. And so we do rev.
erence to him who grandly typifies |
the more than $4,000 of Ohio cit
izen soldiers in the war of the re- |
bellion. The superb soldier, the no. !
bic citizen, the kind husband and |
fathert Let him lie with the people |
who We're his people, in the soil for
which he fought to make it free, |
under the flag he loved so well. |
Taps are sounded. lights are out. |
