finance education, religion and other worthy ob- jects. As most of the high financiering done in Chicago business begins with floating the defici* in the form of “securities,” which are at once credited as evidence of increasing wealth, it may require several weeks for the city to recover from the shock to what it has been accustomed to think of as its financial sanity. : a A dr re It was stated during the week, on what seems reliable authority, that before the close of the year the electric interurban car lines extending East gnd Northeast from ix. Louis into Illinois will connect with those which for several years have been extending West and Southwest in Ohio and Indiana. When this is done, it wil be pos- sible to go from St. Louis by interurban trolley to hundreds of points in Indiana and Ohio, and even into Western Pennsylvania. The great de- velopment of the interurban electric systems is now the most marked feature of progress in the Central West. Though as yet it has only fairly begun, it will probably be possible before 1810 Co reach the Atlantic Voast by trolley from St. Louis, over several systems, through both New York an« Pennsylvania.

This decision is of far-reaching impor- tance in that it tends to the proper solution of this problem.” oppressed consumer to lay down his arms, upon | the theory that the day of equity has come at last. Even though the plans of the equitists suc- ceed to the full, it may still be worth while for society to keep its cudgels handy. ,

. As the lowest bidder, the St. Louis Republic re- ceived the contract for city printing. But it should be noted by the public that, in submitting their bids, the Republic, the Times, and the Star Chronicle merely made affidavit that their circu- lations exceeded 300u, the legal minimum. In con- trast with these statements, which avoided infor- mation as to the actual circulation of the papers, the Post-Dispatch and the Globe-Democrat sub- mitted sworn statements of their actual circula- tion. The Globe-Democrat placed its daily and Sunday circulation during the year at 129,015, but It submitted of its circu- , the Post-Dispatch went beyond that. an affidavit giving the actual figures lation for Sunday and daily.

Power of the Ne w Giant Telescope—A New and Useful Metal—Heat May Be Bottled —Matter One With Energy—Power From Furnace Waste— Growth of Electric Cables. THE WORLD’S GREATEST TELESCOPE. The astronomical world is de ‘lighted because a Cali- fornian has given $60,000 for the construction of an 8-foot telescope, which will be by far the largest in the world, and which is expected to add enormously to our knowledge of the stellar universe. It is to be of the reflector type, one with which only scientific men are familiar. It contains no ‘barrel’ like the ordinary type, but the rays fall directly on a mirror, which throws the image back to be viewed with an object glass from the side. For stellar work and particularly for photography this is by far the best type of instrument,,and astronomers have for years wanted a large one. lt is believed that this instrument will pierce into space many times beyond what is possible with exist- ing telescopes, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. As the fecal length of it will be nearly three hundred feet, it can be seen that its power is to be enormous, so that possibly hundreds of millions of stars and nebulae may be added to those at present known, while it 13 | believed that it will reveal changes’ in.some of the larger and nearer nebulae, so as to give us an idea of the way in which worlds are developed. Also it will greatly add to our knowledge of the moon. It will take four years to complete this instrument. as probably twenty failures in getting a perfect disk of glass may be expected before success is achieved. ALZEN, A NEW METAL. A new metal whic h has attracted considerable at- tention in Germany, and which gives promise of be- coming of no little importance to many prenenee of (the Schiller Building at Chicago, ter represents a stable form of intra-atomic energy. Heat, light, electricity, ete., represent unstable forms of the same ehergy. By dissociating atoms, that is to say, by dematerializing matter, all that is effected is the transformation of the stable form of the ener- gy called matter, into these unstable forms known under the names of electricity, light, heat, etc. Mat- ter, therefore, continuously is transformed into en- ergy. The law of evolution applicable to living be- ings equally is applicable to the simple bodies; chem- ical species are no more invariable than living spe- cies. BOTTLING HEAT TO USE AGAIN. Coal dealers might have cause of alarm, says Fuel, if the story prove true of the discovery of a mechan- ical contrivance whereby he at can be captured after 1: has once been bottled up, and is used over and over again. Before the Zymotechnical Association In J. W. Siebel, In a talk on ‘‘Evaporation and Boiling by Mechanical En- ergy,’ demonstrated that heat which is carried away by vapors of bolling liquid can be returned to the liquid and used repeatedly through the use of a new mechanical contrivance. The new device, now an experiment, Mr. Siebel declared, will be of great val- us to mankind. TO UTILIZE WASTE POWER. More than once it has been proposed that the !ron- masters go into the business of supplying power to outsiders in their neighborhood. In Cassier's Maga- zine Mr. F. E. Junge suggests. that they use it them-

Edward Everett Hale Tells of ace Great Help They Are to the Community in Many Ways, From the Woman's Home Companion. 65 M ¥ sister Lucretia was one of the first women ever chosen to the School Committee in Boston. Before she had been in office three months she told me that any intelligent man who knew the sort of things which were brought to her for advice by teachers and by mothers would say that the presence of one or more women In a School Committee of a large city was absolutely necessary. If you think of it, 4 different exigencies might arise in a month's time where the special suggestion of an intelligent woman would be desirable. “For myself, in my dally work as a parish m.nis- ter in @ great city I find I have no friends or assist- ants who can help me better than the young ladies who have the charge of the different rooms in the public schools. They are feally what in the Egat we call ministers at large. My friend, Mise Maria Symonds, would know, if a boy had no necktle or a ragged necktie that there was a careless moth- er at home, or that there was no mother there, and in the latter case she would supply the va- cancy in her kind care and oversight of Nahum or Typhena, the motherless children. “As I write I remember the instruetion I once Rave to one of the best of my office assistants and what came of it. He had reported one morning that Michael Shea had gone drunk and was sent to the House of Correction for six months. We determined between us that we would find where the family had moved to and would suggest that thus and so should be done for the boys and this that should be done for the girls while there was no breadwinner for the house. Very grand in us! The Christian Church was showing that it could care for what was lost. Yes! But before my excellent curate got around to the boarding house that evening he found that the public school teacher of the school where Nahum ‘attended’ had taken the whole family in charge and made all

Dooley’s curt sentence seems to have a certain bearing upon the proposed plans of the American Society of Equity, which has just now taken a foothold in St. Louis by the establishment local exchange. The thoughts of the promoters, while. decidedly interesting, are far from con- clusive. To give to the producer absolute control of his products, with absolute power to fix prices. Such is the avowed intent of the organization. Coming as this announcement in the very middle of a period of strenuous “trust busting,” it carries a wondrous audacity.

I seems as if it might be as easy to square the | circle as to solve a problem of labor where the demand so far exceeds the supply. When on stops to consider the good wages, the cor abi homes and the many other special inducements th are daily refused by domestics of not even « ability, the outlook assumes a really tragic In Massachusetts, essentially a : center, the opportunities are great for obtaining work, even by unskilled help. Unskilled factory help must necessarily earn small wages; theless, there is a certain independence about >I though it be drudgery—which ends when the blows at night that comfort of domestic with its uncertain hours, can bring. Factory and also store life means city life; a life of excitemen that is dear to the heart of most of us. se When we consider how dull seems the quiet o| country life even to the majority of educated peop how much more dull must life seem to those who 4 pend almost wholly upom external forces for their enjoyment? Not that the uneducated have no brains, or, what is more important, no heart. After al they differ very little, primarily, from their more cultured, more favored’ sisters. oes If, then, these women, who toll more with thel hands than with their brains, insist upon an inde- pendent life, namely, where almost every hour” their time cannot be subject to the will of woman, we are in duty bound to give it to them. What, then, are the numerous overworked } ; wives to do? Surely women who have families to — rear must be overworked. In order to lighten their labor, why not make a new departure?

BAILROADS CAUSE 08S IN COTTON $10,000,000 shipment

Sfaple Damaged Awaiting Cars After ‘ Had Been Promised. eee MEMPHIS, Tenn., May Tt is esti- mated that cotton factories and growers in the South lost between: $10,000,000 and $20,000,000 during the past season on ac- count of shortage of cars. Most of this loss was due to e xposure of the cotton to the elements in the streets of cotton centers like Memphis while awaiting transporiation. The rall- -road situation the country over, -espec- fally in the East and Middle West, is blamed. Thousands and thousands of ales of cotton have tain in one place, after bills of lading were Issued. All winter. long cotton has been ‘sheltered in the streets. Fain, hail enow have fallen, Titeratily soaking product until it has rotted like a cayed apple. The warehouses overcrowded. After the rush season this cotton has been spilled out and allowed to dry. "rr a. ™ un- and the de- were

The very best that can be picked from it does not bring more than 1 cent per pound ané as low as % cent. That fig- ures as low as $2.50 a bale, and possibly as high as $% a hale. An ordinary bale .of botton should bring more than $0 when the price is close around 10c per pound. It has been estimated that more than 20.000 bales of cotten have been ruined here this season. Those are regarded as low figures. Figured at $45 per bale, It would mean nearly $10,009,600. | To avoid the possibility of another Buch season, the railroads and steam- ship companies have combined with fac- tors to build immense storage houses. ~~ eee es —_ -- Notice, Property Owners.

Dr. Warfield told her that there was chance for her if she: would give up honest work and eat the food the society would send to her. _She agreed. Miss Gray had previously visited her and found that the grandmother and child Sle pt in the same bed ‘The child must have a separate bed,” said Miss Gray, “or she will contract the disease. I shall have a cot sent to you. We do not believe that consump- tion is inherited: we believe it is con- tagious. One may inherit weak organs, but not consumption.’ Delivery of goods 1s not prompt, but so impressed was Mrs. A. with Miss Gray's warning that she did not sleep with the child again. There was but one bed, so the grandmother spent her nights in a chair until the cot was brought to her Lessons in Care and Food, Mrs. A. is one of the class that ports every Thursday afternoon to Warfield at the clinic. They must learn lessons upon the care and food for themselgxes and make reports of their conditiom of the food eaten, the rest taken and pounds gained.

She was down- stairs speaking to a neighbor when we arrived. She followed us up the steps, but when she reached the top she could not speak because of failing breath. When-her strength returned she talked while her plump little brown- grandchild played with a tri- colored kitten. “She's my little errand girl,” said the proud grandmother, and- we noted the contrast between the healthy looking child and the thin face and §fever- brightened eves of the woman. The child coughed, then expectorated, and our note-making stopped. In fan- we saw the child as she will be if disease takes hold of her. “I'll never be able to do enough for Miss Gray and the rest,’’ the grand- mother said. “Yes. you will,’ said “just tell others how you and thus help them to help themselves. After we had said good-by, Miss Gray stepped back of me to ask that the child’s condition be given attention.

He has good color and 1s proud of his place in Dr. Warfield’s class. His porch has been tented,in. He can drink milk, but has some trouble with eggs. “That young woman had a fine rec- ord,’’ he said, referring to a young mar- ried woman who reported a gain of 28 pounds in eight months at the last ses- sion of the class.

IN THE PERCENTAGES

»- | ——_ _ Browns Have Brought - . Cheer to the Fans the Last Week--Disastrous Trip for the Cardinals East.

ENERALLY speaking, the playing of both local clubs and the advance in the percentage columns made by both is a bit reassuring to the patient enthusiasts of our good city right now. True, both aggre- gations, particularly the Cardinals, are occupying lowly positions, but figur- ing two weeks back and remembering that the schedule forced the locals— both of them—to tie up with the stronger clubs in both leagues, their showing after al] is not so bad. The improvement in form exhibited by the Browns during the final days’ stay at home has gladdened the hearts of the patrons mightily. ' did, of course, get off to a miserable start, and at that the best part of the games lost were shot away~mainly through sheer baseball luck. disastrous journey to Detroit and Chicago and forgetting the manner in which | Jennings and his noisy band cleaned up here, the Browns have played on over The Browns After the @ 500 percentage basis. On May 14, just 12 days ago, the McAleerites were i dragging along the bottom of the baseball sea with the sickly looking figures of .304. However, with the departure of the Tigers the band began to show signs of improvment and with a bit of luck would have cleaned up the four- ' gam® series with Washington. S it was Glade and Howell won out after hard struggles. Morgan and Pelty, both of whom are A , hardly in shape just now, fell by the ' wayside. _fes napping and managed to win two _@ut of three games played.

The Clark Griffith and his “horseshoe’’ galaxy of stars broke in upon us.. The ' Browns broke even here, winning two - and losing as many. Had Bobby Wal- ' Jace been playing up to his usual form the locals would have unquestionably ' bagged the entire series. Wallace and ' Hemphill handed the openfng: game to i the Highlanders, though at that Barney i Pelty was hit hard during the game. The little Scot continued his poor play- ing the following day and it was hjs mistake alone which allowed the visitors Big Red John Powell, the hero of a bundle of shut- outs, as a result, lost his very first game of the season. The Browns got together then and made the Griffith hinstlers look easy in the final games. Shon!d Win Now. There is no question but that from now on McdAleer’s all-stars will go a route and win a great majority of their gamer. Th. coming of Boston Thursday to the band. Uast spring the Browns tied up ‘with Collins’ band in a series of nine ‘ . ’ I games. The club mannged to win eight straight victories, - Boston winning the lone ninth. When the Prowns moved out of last position carly last week there was all kinds of joy among the resident base- ' ball public. ' With Unglaub's “lobsters.”’ will pack up and move out of town on ’ Monday night, headed In 10 days’ play the club had increased its position from eighth to sixth and had gained €3 hard-earned points In’ the percentage table.

The Browns should by this time be in into the @trong Fast and hand out their best Was regarded the hardest club to beat on the road in either league. All Mc- ' Aleer’s pitchers, with the possible ex- r ception of Jacobson and Morgan, are now in excellent shape. Howell, Pow- ell and Glade are a trio of boxmen capa- ' ble of giving anybody's club a hard ar- | gument. During the past week Barney Polty has also shown signs of being right. Then the return to form of Wal- lace and Niles in the infield and the ap- parent coming to life of Stone, Hemp- hill and Pickering with the stick all tends to point out that this all-star band should get busy and win back that bunch of early spring losses. Cardinalw Bad Trip, The Eastern trip of the Cardinals has been a disastrous one from start to fin- fish. The MsCloskey striplings have . Gailed through Philadelphia, Brooklyn . New York and Boston, and ourside v1 an * Occasional game won, their record looks ! sickening when glanced at. The club, ts even Manager MeCloskey is willing to admit, is a bad one and at present there are rumors of dissention in the ranks, _— 1 le aed dreadful things.

once against Philadelphia, once against Brooklyn and once against Boston. Beebe managed to trim Brooklyn in a close game and Buster Brown won the now historical New York game, which broke the Giants’ long string of vic- tories. The Cardinals appear to stack up as rather a fair batting aggregation but their work in the field and on the bases is unsatisfactory. Brown, Beebe, McGlynn are holding up their end of the game, but the less said about the balance of the twirlers and players the better. Both Teams Here Today. The Browns and Cardinals will meet under a conflicting schedule at home today. The Cardinals finished up their long Eastern journey in Pittsburg: yes- terday. The band will depart for home and will meet the Pirates here today. The Browns will wind up their series with the Beantown lads. With anything like propitious weather conditions both clubs should play before large crowds. Ebbetts Disapointed. President Ebbetts of the Brooklyns is a much disappointed man these days. His club, under the guidance of Patsy Donovan, appears to be a howling fail- ure. Ebbetts is paying out a nice bun- die of coin to Donovan, Jordan, Lum- ley and several] other alleged stars, who have so far fallen down on him. He is now in a mess with Dreyfus, McGraw and several other managers because of his refusal to waive claims on players booked for the minor leagues. Randal]! and Sweeny of the Club, Storke and Sheehan of the Pirates and Hannifen of the Giants have been placed on the waiver lists to date. In each instance President Iibbetts has pointblank re- fused to waive on the players. He very nearly landed Sheenhan, but Bar- ney Dreyfus turned him down at the very last moment. Sheehan was booked to go to Brooklyn, when Manager [red Clark put his oar in and stopped nego- tiations. Johnny McGraw loaned Han- nifen to Providence, but just as soon as ascertained that Ebbetts was after him, he tossed out his hook and forced the player to return to Broadway. Eb- betts, however, is there with his fight- ing togs on,,and declares that he is going to grab some of the talent which the other clubs are trying to turn over to their farms. he Shay Must ‘ie Good, Danny Shay, who is at present warm- ing the bench for Johnny McGraw and drawing a big salary for doing practic-

ally nothing, will have to pony up the $2044 advance money which he drew from the Robisons two years ago, and which they say he has failed to return. Shay played here under Nichols and he was a rank failure in the infield. He re- turned to Frisco and during the season of 1906 ran an independent club in a Frisco suburb. When J. T. Brush made the famous Mertes-Marshall- Shannon-Shay-8:0,00 deal with Rob- isons, Shay was ordered io veport to McGraw. He met McGraw in Frisco this spring and joined the club. Shay has so far failed to return the money advanced him by the. Robisons, but as the National Commission passed on the case the other day he will be compelled to cough up or quit the game. : Good Words Wasted. The wise moguls who have been spout- ing tons of literature all spring about the gentlemanly actions of the basebal]] players in general in both big leagues were handed a bit of a thrill the other day when the New York Giants and Chicago Cubs met in the first game of the season. The game was a regular Kilkinney mix-up. It was one continu- ous dream of scrapping from the open. ing inning to the close. The players, public and even the umpires becam, entangled and but for the arrival of mounted police, a riot would have prob- ably been precipitated. All would have passed off well, but for the fact that the champion Cubs won out. At the com clusion of the gaine the frantic, frenzied fans chased the Chicago players and Umpires Emslie and O'Day almost out of the park. With McGraw, Jennings, Cantillion, Griffith and Fred Clarke in the roles of high king, there wil] be eruptions in baseball whenever the ames are close.

oS CENTRAL LO W PLAYER

High School Is Hoping for a Pen- nani-Winning Team Next Season.

IS FOLLOWED BY HOODOO The baseball team of Central High School has been apparently followed by hard iuck throughout the season. The team lost to Western Military by the score of 8 to 7, Western getting seven of their runs in one inning. The Manr- ual Training School boys defeated ther, although Kennett, pitching for Central, struck out more men and gave less bases than HReuther, the Manual pitcher. Central had 12 men left on bases this game to Manual’s three, and the hits were equally divided. This team, which defeated Manual of Kansas City at Columbia, accomplished something never before done by a St. Lovis High School team. Last year Yeatman lost to Kansas Central, while the year before McKinley went down to defeat at the hands of the same school. The lineup this year is an exceptional- ly good, one. If an all-interscholastic team was to be picked it would consist almost entirely of Central players. If this yecr’s team is a championship team, next year’s will be a corker.

Since she has retired she has produced the hors@s Woodlands, Minnie G., Joe Carey. and Tom McGrath.

PURSES Not So Long- Ago Attell Drew | _ $15 for His Share of Fight.

WAS MORE FOR GLORY*THEN

If any one of the contrasts in the ring is to be especially commented upon at present it isthe difference in finan- cial status prevailing among some of the men who are on the center of the stage just at present and that exist- ing a few years ago. Take Abe Attell, for instance. When he won from George Dixon in the fall of 1901 he had just been brought from the West by Jack McKenna. Attell had made quite a reputation in a mild way, by fighting a couple of draws from Dixon, but no manager had come forward to claim him. «McKenna picked him up and decided to take him East. He had found Abe hanging around Young Corbett’s training quar- ters In Denver. Abe fought Harry Forbes once and Broad a couple of times in st. Louis, and then went on with Benny Yanger. This was the biggest house he had battled before in his career, :the re- ceipts being more than $4000. Yanger got the verdict, the police stopping. the fight in the nineteenth. Out of the amount won Attell received exactly $15. Today Abe is able to draw down $1500 for a six-round go in Philadelphia and is credited with making money rapidly. Mike. Schreck, who can now com- mand a faipsized sum in-any battle, fought one Of the hardest scraps of his career. in January, 1902, at St. Louis, with Hugo Kelly. The first went 15 round and there was a total of $7000 in the house. The fighters divided $400. In their next go they drew $8000. Today the same fight would draw more than that many thousands on the coast. Jack (Twin) Sullivan, after fighting to small houses with Jack O’Brien at Philadelphia “and Boston in 1903. went to St. Louls In ‘19%4. O’Brien had never appeared there and was a drawing card. A house probably representing $1500 turned out to see them. O’Brien had asked $1000 flat for his end, which aid not leave much for the club and SulH- Sullivan and O'Brien would draw van. thousand of dollars if they several met. The same evening that Jack Sullivan was knocked out his brother Mike, now mentioned as @ candidate for the wel- terweight: championskip, won a prelim- inary. He received the magnificent sum of $8 for his share. Surely the course cf time makes changes in prize ring affairs as well as anywhere else.

HERE are families of fighters, T ring we have numerous instances of OE WALCOTT was more successful making a fighter out of a brother J than either Jeffries or Sharkey. Beldeld Walcott is really a scrapper of some ability. Joe fights at about 142, but Belfield can make 135 and be strong. The latter has done his fighting in the New England States and has more than held his own. In California there are the Britt brothers, Jimmy and Willie, who have fine records in the ring. Willie was the fastest amateur bantam of his time and many have predicted that if he had turned professional he would have eclipsed Jimmy. The former was & game youngster, fast as chain light- ning and could hit like a mule. Per- haps Willie was no cleverer than Jim- my, but the opinion was general that he had a stiffer punch. But for the allurement of newspaper reporung Willie might now be a shining light in He elected to chase the elu- sive item and as a consequence the ring lost a “coming champion. When things have gone wrong with Perfecto Bill, perhaps a luscious “scoop” was slipped under his belt, he wished that he had_the mitts on and he was fight- ing for a King’s ransom. The Gardner Family. The Gardner family will live long in the memory of fight fans. In this clan there are three brothers who have distinguished themselves with the padded gloves. Billy, Jimmy and George have their names in the guide books which print the records of fa- mous fighters. Jimmy was regarded by many the coming lightweight cham- pion until he pitted his science against Mike (Twin) Sullivan, who trimmed him. This defeat was a setback, though he has been doing good work since ané his admirers still have hopes of him beating Gans, the present holder of the title. Billy Gardner had less class than Jimmy, though he de- feated some fair lightweights f[n the East. Billy’s only fight in California was with Toby Irwin, who pummeled him badly. George Gardner might have made a name for himself if he pos- sessed gameness, He was scientific and all that, but he had a fear of a hard punch. As long as he could go along and not get hurt George would box like a champion. Local lovers of boxing will never forget his showing with Bob Fitssimmens, who was all but in his grave, pugilistically speak- ing. Bob dropped him early in the scrimmage in one of the opening rounds and Gardner did the Jack O’Brien stunt the rest of the journey. He ran 4 hundred miles to keep away from poor old tottering Bob, who woyld have fallen over if Gardner had had ‘he courage to give him a push. The local sports were aiso disgusted with his fight with Jack Johnson, who out- pointed him for 20 rounds. Gardner was pugdom.

Beginning with the mighty Jeffries, we have Brother Jack who won fights. Jack was not a classy pugilist. Perhaps he would not have: been heard of but for his brother, and yet he was a good trial horse. Big Jim always liked to have Jack with him when he was training for a‘great tle. He took as much delight punching the block cff Jack as though he were nol of his blood. Jim Corbett had a brother, but he was not a boxer. Joe Cor: | bett was probably the greatest baseball pitcher of his time. He might have made a fighter had his mind taken this turn. When Jim was training for his great batthke with Fitzsimmons at Carson, Joe was with him, and helped in his training. Jim was fond of handball, which game Joe wes something of at expert at. Nothing made the big brother sorer than to have Joe put it on him playing handball. Col.

RACING TOO LONG ON THE PACIFIC COAST. The judges and stewards of the Ouk- land, Cal., track have been kept busy winter regulating the insand outs ~ the sport in the bailiwick. Several jockeys have been riding unsatisfac- torily, prominent owners and bookmak- ers have been notifed that their pres-* ence at the track Is not desirable; al! of which goes to show that the officials of the New California Jockey Club are watchful of the public interest and are making an effort to keep the game clean. The California J. C., however,, has made a big mistake in extending the racing season farther than the date originally scheduied. When Oakland opened last November it was announced that the meeting would come-to an end at the expirn- tion of 151 days, which fe about six mon‘hs. The moesting should therefore have ended May il, but Instead of this it has been prolonged unt!) June 2 The California Jockey Club should have taken a leaf out of the history of the sport in Missouri, where ong of the contributory causes to its death was prolonged and exceamve racing. Such a policy may be good for bookmakers and owners, and also for the racetrack associations, but it ts Injurious to the sport and generally demoralizing. Sixty or, at most, ninety, days should be suf- ficient for San Francisco.

, “f\ Hope to Check Speculation, Once this organization is effected, the farmers will attempt to correct two conditions which they believe to be . chiefly responsible for an unstable wheat market: the speculative operations of the ‘“‘pits,”’ and the practice-of the farm- ers themselves in ‘“‘dumping”’ their crops upon the market in the harvest season. ‘The removal of these influences, say the promoters of the new movement, will make the dollar mark the standard in the wheat market of the future. The vital part of the plan, on its prac- tical side, consists in an agreement among the producers to retain their ‘crops in their own hands or under their own control. To this end. details of procedure have been outlined by the central society, covering the main- tenance of society elevators and storage warehouses, with the issuance of ware- house receipts available as loan col- lateral, thus enabling the growers to finance the handling of their crops and to hold their grain without losing the use of their capital. The profits of this handling and financing they propose to keep to themselves, instead of turning them over to middlemen and others. Linked with these larger purposes, the society seeks these ends also, ac- the i Me ROY ad || : ino: cording to its articles of organizatin: EE | = eed ||| a mit reversing; special price,
