young blonde girls, one II and the
other Is, from their homes in
Glenmont, Md,
Anxiety over the case was in
creased among Montgomery county
residents near Glenmont when the
mother of one of the girls, Mrs.
William Hull, revealed her daugn
ter, Dorothy Leidleich. II, has
been ill for some time.
The other girl, Anna Atwood

Mrs. Frank Atwood, who live
next door to the Hull family
opposite the Glenmont School
Mrs. Hull said her daughter

exactly ta!lying to the descrip-
tions of the missing girls stopped
in a store IN Alexandria Saturday

FROM CANADA UP
But Exports of Farm Prod
ucts to That Country
Almost Same.
By the Associated Press.

A sharp increase in Canadian farm
products imported by the United
States in July compared with the
same month last year, while farm
products of this country exported to
Canada were nearly the same for the
two periods. was reported today by
the Agriculture Department.
The study showed that both exports
and imports of non-agricultural COM
modities increased in July compared
with the previous year.
Imports of Canadian farm products
by this country in July were valued
at 1885 900, an increase of s4,978,-
600 over July, 1885, or lo2 per cent.
Exports of farm products by this
country to Canada were s4,016. 900 in
July. an increase Of $4,000 over 1885,
or three-tenths Of l per cent.
Canadian non-agricultural exports
to this country for the month were
SIC, $50 900. a gain of s2.ol1 900 above
the 1885 total. or IL per cent.
Commodities other than farm prod
ucts exported by this country to
Canada also showed a gain. They
were $25,945. 900. or $2.823. 900 more
than for 1885, an increase of IL per
cent.
Commenting on the failure of
American farm exports to increase
along with non-agricultural products.
the Bureau Of Agricultural Economics
said drought losses had caused an up
ward movement of prices OF these
goods in this country that impeded
exports and encouraged a flow of
Canadian products.
1t said exports Of American farm
produce on which Canada had re-
duced duty under the reciprocal trade
agreement had gained s691 900. or 4s
per cent. but this was mostly offset by
a decline in exports on which the duty
was unchanged of $667 900, or u per
cent.
Breaking the Canadian farm ex-
ports into the same classes, the study
showed a gain of $842,000 or 235
per cent for the reduced duty products
and s4.136,000 or 90 per cent for
the others.
Seven months operation under the
reciprocal trade pact were reported
to show these totals for the two
countries:
Exports by Canada:
All commodities, $l90,554, 900, ar
increase of 6.884, 900 or "a per cent
above the same months of 1885.
Non-agriculture products $144,-
5000, an increase of $24,848, 900 or
81 per cent.
Agriculture products $45, 7s9. 900 an
increase of $12,036,oo0 or SO per
cent.
Exports by United States:
All commodities exported $204,-
906,0 6,000 an increase Of $26. .707. 900
or IS per cent.
Non-agriculture products sl75,-
$4,000, an increase of $2l, $4,000
or IA per cent.
Agriculture products $29,434, 900,
an increase Of $4.e77, 900 or 20 per
cent.

Mrs. La,,dOn Meets
Social Emergency
Caused by Husband
Impromptu Tea SOlues
Problem, Caused BY
Nominees Delay.
BY the Associated Press.

.
TOPEKA, Kans., September l9.-
Mrs. ALI M. Landon proved equal yes
terday to a social emergency created
inadvertently by her husband-even
though 1t caused temporary drought
in her supply of AFTERNOON tea.
A group Of Young Republican,
100 men and so women-were sched-
uled to meet the Governor in his State
capitol offices. Mrs. Landon had in
vited the women for tea at the execu-
tive mansion.
But when Gov Landon left a down.
town speaking engagement and started
for the capitol he was tracked
into a conference.
The Young Republicans waited
nearly two hours and at the mansion
Mrs. Landon kept the tea pot boiling
patiently.
Finally Mrs. Landon phoned the
capitol and suggested to Miss Kath-
ryn Ford of Chicago and State Sem
ator J. Kenneth Bradley of Connecti-
cut, Young Republican leaders, tina,
both men and women come to the
mansion for tea"
Both groups acquiesced. But the
household staff had not prepared re-
freshments for 100 extra men. So
the word was passed quietly around
mo tea and cookies for the men"
Shortly afterward Gov. Landon ar
rived.

GOLD CONTRACT
UPHELDBY COURT
Metal or Its Equivalent Must
Be Paid, Kansas City
Judge Rules.
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, September 19.-
Federal Judge Merrill E. Otis, ruled
today that the Emery Bird Thayer
Dry Goods Co. of Kansas City, must
pay the Boston Ground Rent Trust.
sl0.l58.75 quarterly ground rent under
clause of 99-year lease stipulating
quarterly payment Of l39,320 grains
of gold.
Evidence was presented that the rent
was paid by checks, each for $4,000,
until devaluation of the dollar by
President Roosevelt. The lease was
executed April IL, 1890.
We do not suppose" District Judge
Otis memorandum opinion said, that
in days of old a debt of so golden
guineas would have been discharged
by a payment on rs because, if so
we're paid. the lord of the manor
would have exacted 25"
Judge Otis held that when, by
operation of law. it became impossible
for the dry goods company to deliver
gold. it became its duty to deliver
lawful currency of the United State"
in an amount equivalent in value to
the amount of gold specified in the
lease or give up possession" of the
property.
Injunction Had Been Sought.
The dry goods company had sought
to enjoin the Boston Trust from at
tempting to collect more than $4,000
in United States currency as quarterly
rent, contending that the Government
would pay no more than that for the
stipulated amount of gold.
Testimony disclosed that the dry
goods company made quarterly rent
payments of $l0,158.75 from January
/. 1894, until January /, 1885, and
then demanded that the lessons re-
turn S20,793.75. which it contended
were excess payments.
The lessons refused and, as a final
step, demanded delivery of actual gold,
offering to accept it in England.
ANY statute or regulation which
purports to compel the lawful pos
SCISSOR of gold bullion Tor any other
property to surrender it to the SOW
ereign for anything less than just
compensation is clearly void and with
out effect" Judge Otis opinion said.
"A's obligation to deliver a stipu-
lated quantity of gold to B certainly
is not satisfied by the delivery of one
half that quantity merely because. if
the whole quantity were delivered, the
sovereign, without right, would seize
half of it.
Horseshoe Won't Serve as Horse.
I'VE do not suppose that in days
OF old a debt to tenant of so golden
guineas would have been discharged
by payment of Is because, if so
were paid, the lord of the manor
would have exacted IS.
I'VE do not suppose that If Missouri
farmer is bound by his contract TO
deliver a horse to his neighbor he car
fulfill his obligation by delivering a
horseshoe on the theory that if he did
deliver horse Robin Hood would steal
it, leaving horseshoe as souvenir.
Compensation by one party to an
other party for failure to deliver a
given quantity of gold agreed to be
delivered in a contract between the
parties certainly is to be measured oy
the true value of the gold and not By
a fictitious, artificial value"
Attorneys for the dry goods company
said they had not decided on their next
steps.
