 Through

 The trio took of about 3.30 o'clock and the flight was towards Danielson. On the return journey to the landing field the engine of the plane sputtered and went dead. The auxiliary failed to give service and there was only one thing to be done and that was to land.
 Scarcely Alarmed
 Pilot Green saw an open field near the Putnam town farm. steered the plane to this open spot and brought it down gracefully. All would have been well had not the land been soft. This let the plane down damaging the landing gear.
 Pilot Greens first consideration was for his passengers. He found them uninjured and scarcely alarmed at the situation which had confronted them in the air. The trio proceeded to the River road where they were given a lift Co the starting point by q passing motorist. Mir. and Mrs. John son there stepped into another plane and took another ride aloft, this time without mishap.

WHEAT PRICES ARE
STILL DECLINING
Crop Predictions and Foreign
Demand Drives Quota
ton to 81 3-4
CORN DROPS TWO CENTS
Reports Indicate Large Wheat
Surplus in All Parts
of World

Minneapolis, July 30 = Wheat
prices continued to skid downward
Wednesday again, reaching the
lowest levels since 1914, as result
of gloomy predictions of world
wheat crop 2OO,0O0,O00 bushels
larger than last year and an ex-
treme lack of demand from for
eign buyers.
Minneapolis July wheat closed at
81 "a cents, a drop of 2 "a cents
from Tuesdays close, and a long
way down from the closing price of
$1.46 year ago. September wheat
touched a bottom of 83 "a cents,
but rallied slightly to close at "a "a
as compared with the 87-cent clos
ing figure Tuesday. December wheat
touched 88 and closed at 88k.
Similar drops occurred on all pri-
mary Markets. July wheat struck
a bottom of SO 3-8 cents a bushel
in Chicago, rs cents in Kansas City,
87k cents in Winnipeg, and was
only two cents above dollar a
bushel in Liverpool. Final quota
tons were at or fractionally above
these prices.
Corn lost ground also, dropping
1 1-8 to cents a bushel, but the
July option of the coarser grain
closed around cents a bushel
higher than wheat for the same
month, in contrast to the usual 80
cent or SO margin that wheat usual
ly maintains over corn. In Chi
cago, there was almost no rally at
the close of the market, July corn
finishing at IS 7-8 as compared
with the 1894 finish for July
wheat.
All reports indicated there is
large surplus of wheat in the world,
with large quantities of last years
crop still awaiting sale to ultimate
consumers and with elevators being
crowded with incoming shipments
of new cereal. In many places
farmers are reported to be feeding
wheat to livestock in place Of the
more expensive corn.

Federal Officials to
Urge Postage Increase
Raise to Two and One-Half Cents
An Ounce on First Glass Mail
Recommended

Washington, July 28-Convinced
that an increase in postage rates is
the only feasible way of lifting the
worlds biggest public utility tout
of the>red," postal officials are pre-
pairing to press their advocacy of a
higher charge for carrying first
class mail.
When Postmaster General Brown
submits his annual report to con-
gress in December, the enactment
of legislation authorizing the in
crease is to be his most urgent rec
ommendation. The postmaster gen.
eral believes a rate of 21s cents an
ounce on first class mail would bal
ance the departments budget for
the present.
Assistant Postmaster General Til
ton, generally regarded as the finan-
cial expert of the department, said
today an increase in the rate on
letter mail is the only solution of
the deficit problem. I'VE see no
other way out" Tilton said. IF the
public or congress sees one, we shall
be glad to have them point it out.
Last years postal deficit amount
ed to $50,0O0,000. Triton estimates
it will run over sec, OOO. 900 this year.
The present loss in handling the
mails is now charge against the
general funds of the treasury.
Brown and Tilton are of the opin-
ion the postoffice. department as
public utility should be self-support-
ing, the cost Of operation to be
borne by those it serves rather than
the tax-paying public.

Little Falls andily
Taken Into Camp
Local Golfers Entirely Too Strong
On Home Course-Glenwood
Here Sunday

The Sank Centre golfers got re-
venge on the Little Falls crew Sun
day for the rough manner in which
the players from this city were
treated in the tournament held in
the Morrison county city few
weeks ago.
Little Falls only brought enough
men for six foursomes. The Nassau
system of counting was used these
being the most points by which a
foursome could win-one point for
each nine holes, and one point for
low totals. Sank Centre scored IA
points and Little Falls three.
Norbert Frank was medalist with
low score of 70, four over par for
the 18 holes.
The visitors are used to grass
green's but they were delighted with
grass greens on the local course.
Groundkeeper Will Smoth has the
green's in the very best condition
of any time since they were INSTALL
ed.
Glenwood will come to this city
Sunday for the return match.
Sank Centre has a score to settle
with the Pope county gentlemen.
Perhaps they can do it Sunday.
Play will start at 200 o'clock.

suit of the Little Falls tournament,

Opening Dance at Fair
Grounds Was Success
Marvellous Cement Floor and Splen-
did Music Fine Combination
Next Dance Aug. It'll

The new dance floor at the
Stearns County fair grounds, Sank
Centre, was properly initiated last
evening with an opening dance
which was attended by over 200
couple.
This floor was constructed of
cement. People were somewhat
skeptical as to its dancing qualities.
j. J. Costello, who had charge of
the building of the floor, has done
a marvellous job and the dancing
surface is as smooth as the most
particular dancer could wish.
There is no dust, and the 60x90
surface gives sufficient room to
accommodate large crowds without
congestion.
Bailey's orchestra furnished the
music for the opening dance and
soon demonstrated that the COM
mittee had used excellent judg-
ment in booking them for the OPP
ening dance.
Those attending last evenings
dance insisted that another dance
be held before fair time. On check
ing up with the leader of the or
chestra it was found that they
had an open date Thursday eve
ming, Aug Z. In order to meet pop
ular demand Bailey's have been
booked for this date, Aug. Z, for
another dance.
The crowd last evening was ex-
tremely orderly and very inform
al. Each one was there for the pur-
pose of having good time and
none were disappointed.
If you like to dance keep Thurs
day evening, Aug. Z, open and at
tend the dance at the Sank Centre
Fair Grounds and you will not be
disappointed.
The committee has been ex-
tremely fortunate in the selection of
the orchestra for the first dance
night of the fair Oscar Danielson
and his organization, from Mime
apolis, famous for their programs
over WCCO, have been booked for
the evening Of Aug. IL and Is.
Jack Hardy's band, Minneapolis,
will furnish the music. The orches-
ira for the last night of the Fair,
Aug. IA, has not been booked as
yet, but the public can rest assur-
ed that it will be one of the best
known playing in Central Mime
sofa.

BURGLARY TRIED
AT THREE PLACES
Offices of Steiner Lumber Co.,
Farmers Shipping Associa-
ton Entered Tues.
TOTAL LOOT IS SMALL
Chief of Police Undecided
Whether it Was Work of
Tourists" or Locals

The city was given little taste
of racketeering Tuesday evening
when three places of business were
burglarized.
Every indication points there
was more than one in the party.
Entrance was first made in
to the N. P. section houses where
ten gallons of gasoline was stolen
and a spike maui and rail cutting
chisel was taken. The first place
entered was the office of the
Steiner Lumber Co. Admission was
secured by the cutting of screen.
Nothing of value was secured but
practically everything in the office
was turned up side down. The safe
in this place of business is always
open but, there is never any funds
left at night to tempt itching fling
ers. At the Steiner office a crowbar
was added to the robbers tool kit.
The crooks then went to the Of
flee of the Harland Flour and Feed
Cd, An attempt was made to force
an entry into the office. They were
apparently scared away before they
succeeded, part of the tools wewre
left at this point.
The last place entered was the Of
flee of the Farmers Shipping As
ISOLATION. The dial was knocked off
the safe and they were evidently
frightened away again before they
succeeded in getting any loot.
A check-up of the money losses
indicates that the actual money
stolen is well under so cents.
Chief of police Miller is working
on the case. Clues are very meagre
and it is doubtful wheather he will
be able to ascertain whether the
burglary attempt was made by
travelling tourists" or local talent.
