over $108,000,000 of bonds, orind
nally municipal but lome of them

only a nine over Jftf.OUU.UUU were
sold in Oober." There seems to
have been' an 'unusual spurt not yet
explained'in 1919. lor the month be
fore the armistice was sianed
$117,000,000 were sold. Eleven years
ago the total sales of bonds' of this
kind in October were only $23,000.
UiH m round numbers
If the aggregate sales of bonds of
mtiniripal and4 state for the 10
months endrtijT' November 1 are
considered, it n found that the total
was nearly $947,000,000, using round
numbers tor convenience. In nd
other 'year has there been anything
like this "sale ot municipal and state
securities'. The Targest was in 1919,
which "for 10 months amounted to
5OJ5.000.0O0 approximately. Even 'a

... A Rapid Increase.
In January. 1912, 11 years ago, only
a little over fz8.000.000 In" long' and short

a. gradual Jncrease excepting In the years

followed, a., rapid. Increase month by month

Potatoes,
The potato market of last week was
unusually dulL - Very little , trading . waa
done between the wholesale and retail
dealers,- and prices' remained steady to
somewhat weaker. Retail dealers seemed
to expect a further decline' In prices and
did not buy beyond their immediate needs,
and this together with the fact that many
retail dealers had - stocked up heavier
than normal earlier in the season when
the' railroad strike seemed probable, tend
ed to hold back trading. Wholesale deal
on nnt snrlnn, tn ae-ll at tirMAnt
prices because they anticipate stronger
market a little later when colder weather
will stimulate the .demand. Thirty-six
cars were reported unloaded In Omaha
the first four days of last week. Very
few of those cars were sold last week,
however, aa most of the potatoes were put
Into storage by dealers who had contract
ed earlier In the eeason, or by shippers
themselves who expected to sell later wben
the market - was stronger. While prices
to retailers and the local trade remain
ed unchanged, the wholesale dealers have
been able to -buy. at somewnat lower
figures tfcm a week ago.
Hav
Trading'' on the hay market continued
oHt normal last Week. The receipta
about nonnal last Week.
just about equalled those of a week ago.
A total of 6 cars were reported at the
hay exchange for the first rive aays or
ast week; receipts were ,iairiy eveniy
olTided between alfalfa and prairie hay.
The demand- waa fair for most gradea
and good, for the better graces. .
reuitry.
RecelBta of noultrv were slightly heav
ier last week than a - week age. and this
had a tendency to cause a weakness in
the market.' However, these Increased re-
turkey showed some decline.
gs.
The demand -for freeh egg continued
heavy, and this together with an ad
vanced eastern market caused an. ad
vance In fresh select and No. 1 egga
Some - dealers paid a high as COe per
dozen for freeh selects and 44c to 4Te
for No. 1 stock. Receipts of fresh eggs
continued light. Most of the dealers, are
now buying eggs "Case Count." Instead
of by grade, paying $13 to $1 J per
case, and some $15 per caae. rots out.
Freah select eggs sold to retail dealers
at 65c to (0c per dozen. Storage eggs
were quoted at J Jo to 40e per- dozen, ac
cording lo grade.
Butter. - 1"
Butter price were unchanged throsgb
eat the week, although the Chicago and
other eastern markets have shown a de
cline most of -fhe - week. The demand
her seemed sufficient te maintain prices..

WHY-
Is the Red Flag the Symbol of Revo,
lutjon?
It is probable that even the an
cients wer aware of the fact that
red is visible at a greater distance
than any other color, for history tells
us that the red flag was the Roman
symbol of war and that every call
to arms was attended by the wear
ing of a strip of cloth of this color.
lhus, tor example, those who de
manded the destruction of Carthage,
continually carried bits of red with
them, displaying them upon every
occasion and insisting that Rome
should not rest until the ramparts
ot her enemy were stained with the
same bloody color.
Possibly because of its visibility at
a distance and possibly on account ot
its connection with blood, the Hags
of many. nations have included this
color- but it remained for the French
revolutionists to adopt the red flags
as their symbol of bloodshed and
total abolition of recognized author
ity, a decision which has been fol
lowed -ever since by those who con
spired against law and order. " An
archy and bloodshed are inseparable;
"seing red is a recognized simile
for temporary insanity and' the "red
flag of danger" is therefore a most
appropriate emblem ' for ' those who
plot against the government and
seek to overthrow established prin
ciples in order to attain their own
ends. ,

wardrobe. A bit short in the leg,
eh? - And a bit too big around the
waist?. (He laughed again infec
tiously, ' and the Fortune Hunter
laughed too. ,
"They might be a worse fit," he
declared, stretching his long arms to
show the absurd 'shortness of the
coat sleeves. "It was unfortunate,
Tommy falling into the river." . He
brought the name out boldly.. ."But
I'm glad I was there, and able to be
of use," he went on'.
"I'm more than glad," Clem Hard
ing said gravely. "If anything had
happened to that boy well; we
could never have filled his place, eh
Anne?" .
"I've bten frying to thank John,"
the girl 'said shyly.
i .l ti c fold man touched her cheek
affectionately. "You'll do it better
if 1'ni out of the way," he said. He
turned .to the' door. lookine back
whcVhe reached it lo ask: "And
your luggage? It's at Somerton sta
tion, I suppose?'"
The rortune Hunter hesitated, and,
in spite 6f himself, the color - deep
ened a little in his bronzed lace.
"As a matter of fact, I only came
down- for the day, he said at last,
"Yoa 'see; ,1-- .1 . wasn't sure what
might happen. Everything was so
strange.--'' '."-'
-Outte so, quite so. Well, we
must . .send for your goods and

us, -of course er, Anne?" ,
He did not wait for a reply; he
merely vlatughed and went out of the
room. " ... ,.'.,.' ,. .
1 here was an awkward -silence. .
The- girl stood by. the table, her
eye? downcast, the sunset glow Irom
the wide-open window all about her,
her -fingers, nervously twisting the
loose sa5h at her waist.
The Fortune Hunter looked at her
helplessly: he had never felt at such
a loss m his life. Twice- he cleared
his'thfoat before, with a desperate
effort .he said rather .hoarsely:
..We - shall have a great deal to
say id one another you and I." '.A
Yes. she looked. up swiftly, her
eyes radiant through the tears that
misted ' them. Then suddenly she
tool a-little run towards him, laying
botlv her hands on his shoulders, her
pretty.'" fdee strained in sudden
anxiety.;
( ".Qfi, .are.,, yon. 'leally-r-really glad
tbbe here with me?" -v
The . Fortune Hunter looked past
her,Tand,'swiftly. round; the room;
glad I to be 'in such comfort and lux-,
ury. even if only for a short while,
after1 theP fhonths of discomfort and
hardships,, .
His eyes wandered to the open
window,1 to the sloping garden be
yoni'laijd. 'the silvery, river and he
drew a deep breath.
Oladi I hat s a poor word, he
said fervently.
He- looked down at her flushing
face, read the '" thought in her
eyes, and lor a moment he hesi
tated. . ihen, with a little - half
shamed laugh, he bent and kissed
her lips- 1 . ' '
SJie teturhed. the kiss with soft
eagerness, whispenngi brokenly as
they -df.ew;:apart again.. "And no
man. has ever kissed me since you
wehr away.'.
i he:.'.Fbrtune Hunter flushed scar
let, an. intolerable sense of shame
eemed- to choke him. He walked
away from Tier and stood looking
out over' the river with hot eyes.
He "had' done many questionable
things in his life, and felt little com
punctionr Many times in his - wan
derings he .-had "walked boldly into
:a, restaurant, eaten a hearty meal and
got out 6f' the place without paying
a cent for it. More than once he
had. thrown : the bag containing all
his -Worldly belongings out of his
lodging., window - and followed it
down, a vwaterpipe into the street
in order to avoid the impossibility
of meeting his bill, and it had all
seemed more or less sport.
But . this somehow this thing,
which- gave promise to be the great
est adventure of all, went sorely
against the grain.
. "It 'will have, to end," he told
himself grimly, as he stood and
stared at the river. .
He had taken many, a kiss in his
life,, and thought nothing of it, but
this ' girt was different, bhe loved
him,' or 4t least she loved the man
whom, she believed Jura to be.
And a -little treath of coolness
swept through the heart of the For
tune'-Hunter as he thought of 'the
man lyitig dead in the woods with
the bracken bending above him.
The whole thing was madness.
Discovery was bound to come.
For' an' hour or two perhaps he
might carry the situation with a high
hand long enough to get a good
meat land fresh courage wifh which
to face his " wanderings but there
it would pave to end.
,He had meant no harm; he had
been carried off his feet, and the
girl herself was responsible-for the
mistakes in. the first place. She
ought to have had more sense. Wom
en were' So sentimental'
. Eveh supposing there was a faint
resemblance between himself and the
dead rhan.. After alt, theirs was an
ordinary type. But he was-conscious
of keen curiosity to know what story
lay behind it aft, and from what 10
years of exile the dead man had been
on his. way. home.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDREL MARSHALL.
The turquoise is both. the talis
manic and natal stone belonging to
this day.- In ancient times it was
rarely worn by a woman, but all
legends combine to assure us that 't
may be safely worn if it preserves
its cerulean hue, and does not take
on a greensh tinge when brought -in
contact with the flesh.
To. escape evil and attain good for
tune, it is necessary only to possess
this stone, according to ancient su
perstition. To secure the greatest
happiness, it is said that one should
see the new moon reflected in its
surface.
Dark blue is a significant color to
day. If worn by a woman, how
ever, it is said to bring jealousy and
love.
The violet is today's lucky flower.
It is a flower most .fitting for young
girls, since it is a symbol of sweet
ness or modesty.

Parents' Problems
At what age should a boy begin
to think of what he will .do later
for a living?
This varies with the boy and with
the circumstances of the family. Dur
ing the last year in the grammar
school, the boy should have some
idea' what interests him most, and
what studies he wishes to give es
pecial attention to in high school.
His .father should talk with , him
about his future, telling him how
much education he can give him, and
pointing out to him the importance
of making good use of it. : -

Blooming Out of Sesson. -
It is sign vf dc.tih to see 1
flower btoojimiif nut of seaion;
for instance, a rutc blooming in the
fall or an apple tree blossoming
when the wtiiwr it approaching.
This is a widespread superstition
both in Knrnpe and America and is
a very old one. ' In olden times such
a phenomenon was supposed to
presaiie war, pestilence or civil com
motion, i-nirli unnatural blossomings
heralded the ureal plague which
swept London in the time of Charles
11 and- further back such portents
alarmed the Koman world.
A communication to the Journal
of the American Folklore society
says of the superstition: "This has
proved a true omen in several esses
(an omen of death)- according to
the experience of a lady who believes
in thejif signs. In consequence of
this belief when she sees such a flow
er Cone blooming out of season) she
will pick it oft the stein and throw
it away without mentioning the in
cident to any one." The lady is far
from being alone in her cherished
superstition. Ine psychology whicu
seems' to underlie the matter and
which keeps the superstition so vi
t.illv active today is the proneness
of man to see in any unusual hap
pening anything that violates the
general progress of nature an
omen of evil rather than good.
With the anewnts this idea wai
formulated and absorbed, as with
them such Ideas were, into mythcJ
ocv. A tree or a flower blooming
out of season was the spirit of vege
tation manifesting himself at an un
natural time to warn and not, as he
did in the springtime,' to gladden and
sustain. Among the Creeks and Ro
mans it was Proserpine or Perse
pone, manifesting herself during
the six months which, naturally, she
spent in hades. And while during
the six months she passed on earth
she was supposed to be amiable and
propitious, during the other six
months she was stern and terrible.
