This column presents Prof. A.
B. Hurt, popular principal of the
Nathan's Creek high school, as
the Ashe county champion key
ring carrier.
Hanging on the belt on his
right side is key-ring that has a
total of % different keys on it,
ranging from tiny little keys that
look as though they might unlock
jeWelry or perfumery box to huge
pieces of meal that should be ade-
quate to open most any door in
a Jail.
Eyes, l use everyone of them,
either at my home or at the
school house." he declared when
questioned about the unusually
large number.
In addition to that, 1 also car
ry my car keys on another ring
and have three other keys be-
sides" he said.
THAT explains something that
has been mystery to me-" GWyn
Price stated when informed about
the colossal number of keys car
rled by his friends and fellow Ro-
tartan. Il never have been able
to understand why he is the big
gest eater in our club and yet is
not fat or a very large man. :"
John Reeves made another
timely observation in connection
with the key-ring oddity. Il was
heard that mans worries could
be measured in terms of the num-
Der of keys he carried" John
asserted.
Without further comment. we
present Mr.. Hurt as the cham
plcn keyring carrier.

Wheat Market Slips
Lower as Traders
Watch Europe
Slow Pace Indicates
Little Change Seen
In TongIe Abroad
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

Associated Press Market Writer
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Wheat prices
were permitted to slip fractionally
lower today while the grain trade
marked time and dealers watched
European cables for the latest war
news.
Weakness Of prices of securities
and the lackadaisical action of the
grain market indicated that brokers
saw no definite change in the mud
died European picture: Sinking of
another British battleship and war
like dispatches from opposing sides
could arise no enthusiasm for either
the buying or selling sides of the
market.
Wheat dipped as much as q cent
at times and closed ls-ss lower
than yesterday, December 83, May
82A as. Corn was H-5s lower, De-
cember 494-5s May 52b So; oats
and rye ls-l4 off and lard to IL
lower.
Some selling, aside from that in
spired by stock market declines, was
attributed to cash or elevator inter-
ests while mills were reported buying
sparingly and there was some
spreading between here and Kansas
City. Winnipeg prices were off al
most a cent at the close. Some short
covering was in evidence before the
final bell here.
Weather was dry over the South
western winter wheat belt and there
was no prospect for additional mois-
ture relief in the near future al
though the weekly forecast sug-
gested some rain might be received
by the end of next week.
