was a bullet wound in his temple.
Another loaded revolver was

Ten feet away, on dressing

dressed to Miss Harlow, his bride
of two months. 1t read:
Dearest dear: Unfortunately
this is the only way to make good
the frightful wrong have done
you and to wipe out my abject
humiliation. I love you. Paul.
"P. S.-You understand that last
night was only a comedy"

A LITTLE juggling of wheat by the Grain
Sterilization Corporation leaves the cor
poration with just as much wheat as when
the Juggling started, yet the corporation
profted the wheat growers obtained from Is
cents to 80 cents more for their wheat this
year than the Liverpool price and the millers
maintained hard-won foreign market.
These highly advantageous results were OBJ
tanned through the operation of the so-called
mill export plan, according to review of the
situation presented to the Federal Farm Board.
The scheme, in brief, was for the millers to
buy wheat from the carry-over stocks from
last year. although the price was higher than
for this year. This wheat, after being milled,
was exported as -four and sold at a loss in the
foreign market. Then, in turn. the millers
stepped into the market for this years crop,

bought an equal quantity of wheat Of the same
grade at the lower prices and returned it to
the Grain Sterilization Corporation. The
corporation, after receiving the new wheat, re-
paid the millers in full for their original pur-
chase.
BY this scheme, 100000 bushels Of wheat
were exported as flour which would not have
been handled under the higher prices Of last
years crop. Naturally, the millers pro1ted by
the deal and at the same time maintained
their grip on their foreign market The farm
ers benefited through the sales of 100000
bushels of this years crop at the higher price
prevailing here over the Liverpool Market

in Barker Hall, Y. w. c. A. Building. Because
of the popularity of the lecturer and interest

ception to its rule and opened the lecture to
the public for nominal fee
Thomas Craven has had q varied career, but

American Mercury, the Forum, Dial and New

sion. He is, in measure, an iconoclast, but
he has the courage to think for himself and his
thinking is by no means revolutionary. Mr..
Craven has recently returned from lecture
tour to the Pacific Coast, and has addressed
distinguished audiences in some of the leading
art museums of the country en- route.

he route is heavy, expensive con-
,truction may be undertaken to
save a mile or nalf mile, while if
traffic is light, a slightly longer and
less costly route may be chosen.
Both local and long distance traf-
&c must be considered.
Sometimes the survey shows the
cost of the project greater than
anticipated, and the plans may be
filed away until more funds are
available. Or a -esurvey may be
ordered. Frequently by running
several lines and selecting the best
route, the saving in construction
costs will be many times the cost
of the survey.
In addition to engineers assigned
to location work the year around,
others who supervise construction
in summer make location surveys
in winter. Making a survey and
preparing plans for construction
project requires several weeks,
sometimes months. The depart
ment aims to keep its plans and
surveys well ahead of actual con-
struction. Then If added funds
come in, for instance through spec
ial federal aid, the time when this
money can be put into needed road
improvements and jobs for the I'M
employed, is materially reduced.
The law requires, however, that
call for bids be advertised three
weeks, and after bids are opened 1t
takes a little time to complete the
contracts and get equipment on the
Job.
