The John Deere is called "The Better Binder" by those
who use it because they are able to cut more successfully tall
or short or tangled grain beccause of it great capacity, ease
of operation, light running and low cost of up-keep. The
John Deere Quick-Turn Tongue Truck makes the Binder run
steady, adds life the machine, relieves the team of neck
weight, keeps the tongue from whipping, and reduces side
draft. We have them in stock. Come in and look one over.

Will Murray have electric light in
the veiy near future? This seems to
b1 the leading question at the present
time. The committee appointed to in
terview the citizens on the very im
portant question are being met nwst
favorably, but they are short of the
desired amount needed. There has
L.cn a great advance in all elect l ie
equipment during the past two years,
and this seems to be the only delay
in the completion of ail plans at the
present time. Light is badly needed
in Murray, and now is the time to in
stall a plant, the chances are it will
not be cheaper for many years, if ever.

Wa.-hingi.on, D. C, July 2. Secret
investigation by government agents
has disclosed the existence of a con
spiracy to destroy or hinder shipping
on the Great Lakes and delay organ
ization of American war armies and
check the flow of food and munitions
material from the western states to
the Atlantic coast.
Xo conspirators have been captured
and the identity of none has been
made public, but it was learned today
that the state, navy and justice de
portments are co-operating to bring
the offenders to punishment and that
the Canadian government probably
will be called upon to help.
This plot, engineered by Germans,
assisted by sympathizing American
citizens, is believed to have been re
sponsible for the succession of "ac
cidents" to lake shipping a month
ago. Three vessels have been sunk,
one burned and another disabled.

L'nder Father's Regency.
Hsuan Tung, the son of Prince
Chun, ascended the throne of China,
December 2. 1003, under the regency
of his father. On December i, 1011.
Prince Chun abdicated as regent, and
February 12, 1012, the youthful em
peror abdicated the throne and the
Chinese republic was established.
Since that time the cmpieror had vir
tually been a prisoner of President
Yuan and Li.
In February of this year, it was re
ported that Ilsuan Tung would be
brought to the United States to com
plete his education, and it was said
that President Li had approver! the
plan for the Manchu emperor to come
to the United States.
Hsuan Tung was born in 1904. He
first bore the title of Prince Pu-Yi
and took the name of Ilsuan Tung
when he was enthroned as emperor in
1008.
Chicago, 111., July 2. Exploitation
of war conditions to raise food prices
to consumers "for the benefit of the
few who are handling food products"
was reported to the federal grand
jury today after an investigation of
several weeks.
The Elgin board of trade, wrier?
are fixed butter prices taken as stand
ard throughout the country, received
especial attention from the grand
jury, which pointed out that the board
holds only one fifteen-minute session
each week.
"It is a question whether the Elgin
boaid is a real and bonitide market
for the purchase and sale of butter,"
comments the report.
Trading in canned goods, the grand
jury found, is carried on under a sys
tem which compelled the consumer to
deal with middle-men and prevented
trading directly with the canner.
Selling of Canned Corn.
One result of this was given in the
price cf canned corn, which sold from
canner to wholesaler in 101i at ."
cents a dozen, is now selling to the
retailer at S1.75 a dozen and to the
consumer at a still higher price.
The report urged legislation to pro
hibit cold storage companies from
holding large amounts of perishable
food products in warehouses, which
the grand jury said leads to specula
tion and higher prices. Reports un
der oath to the government on the
amounts of food in cold storage was
recommended.
Because of the short time the grand
jury had for its work a thorough ex
amination was not possible which
would have warranted indictments.
Robert W. Childs, special assistant at
torney general, said another jury
would be called soon to continue the
investigation.
Circulars Sent Out.
Among documents obtained by the
grand jury in its investigation were
two circulars sent by two wholesale
foo 1 dealers to jobbers and salesmen.
One of these said:
"Raise your prices now on every
thing we have advised you will ad
vance. You can get the extra price
this week as well as next."'
Another circular read:
'"Our customers have very unusual
profits within their grasp at this mo
ment. Will they throw them away or
tuck them away?
"Of what earthly use.- are futures
f the benefits are wantonly wasted?
'"No man ever got very far on the
