World Wheat Bins Groan;
Shipments May Be Larger

The world wheat market is bur-
dened by heavy stocks which are
largely the result of restricted de-
mand in importing countries, says
the bureau of agricultural econom-
les, United States Department of Ag
riculture, in its report on world
wheat prospects.
Shipments of wheat and flour from
July through mid-December, from
the principal exporting countries,
have totaled 261 100000 bushels as
compared with 355,OO0,OO0 bushels
in the corresponding period last
season.
This low level Of shipments, the
bureau continues, has left the prin-
cipal exporting countries with some
what larger stocks of wheat as of
December ], 1882, than they had
on December /, 1881. Total stocks
available for export and carry-over
from the old crop in the United
States. Canada, Australia and Ar
gentina are estimated to have been
about 745,00O,0O0 bushels on Decem-
Der l compared with 70S,0O0,0O0
bushels on December ! last year.
Also, the new crop of both Argen-
tina and Australia is estimated to
be somewhat larger than last year.
World shipments, it is expected,
will be larger during the second
half of the crop year because sup
plies of wheat from the large Eu-
ropean crops in 1882 are being re-
duced, and although some countries
have such large crops as to make it
unlikely that they will import sig
nificant quantities, other countries,
says the bureau, will have to de-
pend more largely upon supplies of
foreign wheat.-Missouri Farmer.

$150,000 Is Not
Going to the Dogs

Observation-Disclosures of
$150,000 estate that should have
gone to the dogs was ordered in

The huge estate was be-
queathed to "Shep," numbering

Fred Fl. Forester of Denver, six
years ago.
Shep lived luxuriously for two
years, then died.
Under terms of the trust the
money administered by the Col

welfare, was to go to homeless
dogs of Colorado.
The board has built three dog
drinking fountains in Denver and
assisted the Dumb Friends

money had been invested in a

The very attractive long gloves pic

openwork stitch is their charm.
They are crocheted of fine white
mercerized cotton and of course
they wash perfectly. which carries
with it the promise Of being i'm

Chain Sale Scheme
Under Eye of u. S.

selling organizations was a long
drawnout job. he pointed out that
each concern had to be investigated
individually, given a public hearing,
and then frequently the case had to
be carried through the courts.
Here's how it operates: The par
ticipant buys an article for $3.50 and
10 cents in stamps and then sells
four articles at the same price, max
ing a commission of S1.25 on the
fourth sale. Thereafter the agent
sells three other articles, making
S3.75. His three customers sell three
each and the original participant
gets S33.75 in commissions and the
others are ready to start their profit
sharing. BY the ninth step the to-
tai commissions amount to more
than $4,000 If the chain remains
unbroken.

friend, Giovanni Raho, who volun-

busy. Barrel after barrel of the
strong red wine for which Bucci was
noted gurgled into mortar.
The result was beautiful YER

the eleven youths working through

up the walls of a two-story struc-
ture that just concealed Don Fran

During the night the vapor of the
boiling wine gave the eleven
youths the equivalent of an all
night alcoholic jag and though they
had refrained from touching a drop
of the liquor they staggered drunk
enly as the night wore on.
