' When By-Products of Grain
Were Reduced in Cost
Millers Hiked Flour to
v Keep Balance.
Lower prices for corn have had
Uw effect of reducing the cost of
niiiMccds, thus tending to hold up
the cost of flour. Although current
Hour quotations are off somewhat
recently, the change is not as much
as might be expected from the de
cline in wheat.
When wheat -went down, oorn
went down tremendously. This re
duced the price of bran and other
feeds produced from the part of the
v wheat that is not used in flour This
decline in the return from by-products
of milling has had the effect of
increasing the cost of flour, thus
'nullifying to a great extent the de
cline in wheat. '
Believe Prices Stable.
Prices of flour have slightly de
- creased lately and have reached what
is regarded as a stable figure, millers
believe. It isot regarded as prob
able that lower prices will come in
the flour tradeKand it is said to be
possible that prices will rise some
what. It is believed by some that
prices have reached a sane world
basis and that while there is a sur-
' tuc nf drain F.nrnn will need it
"Wheat was stronger today and is
off only 12 cents a bushel from the
orice of a week ago," said Chauncey
Abbott, jr., vice president of the
Omaha Flour Mills company, yes
terday. Most of this decline, if not
sill of it, is offset by mil! feeds being
about $10 a ton lower. These by
products, bran and shorts, are used
in competition with corn for stock
and dairy feed. The decline in the
price of corn has forced down all
other feeds.
No Great Decline Expected.
"It takes about four and a half
liushelsfof wheat to make a barrel
of fiour, which weighs 196 pounds.
Thus, even if feeds had not de
clined as they have, flour in 24-pound
sacks such as the housewife buys
would be off less than 10 cents a
sack, and a whole barrel would be
off onlv 54 cents, i
"Flour is off $2 a barrel, but only
from the old crop, or early July
prices. There has been no great de
cline recently,!, nor is one expected
by those familiar with the market
needs."

Common Sense
UNDERSTAND YOUR
PARTNER.
'' By J. J. Mundy.
Xpok here, Mrs. Critical, you have
always been jealous and suspicious
of your husband when he went out
with a bunch of men, because you
were afraid he would get into some
thing of which you would disap
prove. ,
Even some of his best friends you
never trusted, and while you knew
nothing about the men personally,
instinctively you felt that they frit
tered their time either on gambling
games or women you would not
t.pcak to.
Now hubby is going in for out
door sports, swimming, base ball,
foot ball, quoits, golf and the likej
And you are. stiil grouchy abemt
his going without you.
when the sport is a wholesome,
health-giving game, and instead of
pouting and sulking plan something
in the out-of-doors for yourself and
enjoy it the more(i knowing that
your husband is gaining in health
and spirits because tie is interested
Sts jrood, clean sports.
Which is more expensive, paying
aoctor or paying for fresh air and
jood companionship?
' 1 If Vou are so fussy about where
your husband goes when he does
not take you, and when he is hon
est about it and needs the exercise,
don't complain if you find out that
he has chosen . a more questionable
kind of amusement.

More Truth
By JAMES J.
SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE
Still speeds on its course the terrestrial ball, ;
The rains stil descend, and the tides "rise and fall ' ;
The sun moves along from the east to the west,
Yet somehow we feel that all's not for the best.
Some doom is impending though still out of sight
An ominous portent that things CAN'T be right. .
The outlook is gloomy, the future looms bleak,
For William J. Bryan refuses to speak !
The voice that has wakened re-echoing cheers '
. From leather-lunged thousands for forty odd yea..,
The accents that rouse Arizona and Maine
And the states in between 'em through every campaign
And bade fair to keep going for forty years more,
Are as still as a clam on a surf -beaten shore.
Some spirit of evil among us must stalk
If William J. Bryan has run out of talk I ,
In vain the reporters swarm round by the score, '
And, careless of grammar, ask, "Who are you for?"
In vain speakers' bureaus implore from that throat,
So fluidly fluent, one clarion note.
Why even the Commoner's losing the bite
His eloquence gave it-he won't even write.
. Alas, there has dawned a precarious day
When William J. Bryan has nothing to say !
If Wilson declared that the country had need V
Of the counsel of statesmen like Johnson and Reed,
If David Lloyd George should tomorrow decree
' That Ireland is, and of right should be free,
If Carrie C. Catt i na magazine wrote
That women aren't fitted or worthy to vote,
That nation would shudder with shivery thrills,
But it shudders still more at this silence of Bill's

JCdele Garrison's
Revelations
How Madge "Managed" Mother
Graham.
With the realization of Lillian's
remoteness, I ran over once again
in my mind the people who might
know or be able to discover some
thing about Rita Brown which -I
could use as a weapon to save
Leila's happiness. '
Dicky 1 dismissed him wrath-
fully. If he knew anything against
her, I doubted if he would divulge
it in his present mood. Besides, I
had no idea when he meant to come
back to the cottage. He was fully
capable of taking a room over at
Cedar Croft and stayingrthere until
his anger at mc should cool.
Major Granr.'and my father
both men had power and resource
fulness and willingness to help me
in anything I might ask, but neither
could leave plausibly. They were
both invited guc&ts to the wedding,
sharers m the festivities planned for
the . coming week and it needed
some one who could go to .New
York and search behind the care
fully arranged framework against
which Rita Brown had displayed
her dashing, colorful personality for
years.
There was no other way. I must
get in touch w'th Lillian. But it
would be a cumbersome and costly
process, for, of course, no message
naming Rita Brown or indeed be
traying anything of its real meaning
could go over the telegraph wires.
As I made my decision. I rose and
took from its hiding place the little
strong box in which I kept the
things most important to me. Un
locking it I searched rapidly unfil I
found the thing for which I was
looking a little brown leather
memorandum book. In it there was
a copy of a code Lillian's own ar
ranged for her by that master of all
codes, Allen Drake, for her use in
any emergency where she had no
time to use the mails, and did not
wish to trust the message either to
telephone or telegraph.
Intricate Yet Simple.
As I looked it over my spirits rose.
It was so cunningly' arranged, with
such plausible sentences forming the
framework for the intricate system
of letter work, that I saw it was pos
sible to send Lillian a clear graphic
message, and to receive from her in
return full instructions as to what
course I should follow without any
one in Cedar Crest being the wiser.
For instance, "Please send suitcase
at once," meant, "What complete
record of ." And the thoroughness
with which Allen Drake had done
his work meant that it was easy to
supply the "missing name with a

word that would fit in the first sen
tence with plausibility.
I took pencil and7 paper and went
to work, first writing down in as few
words as possible the message I
wished to send Lillian, and then
hunting through the ( code for the
necessary clothing of it. ' Of course
I had to change many of the words
I had chosen for others of the same
meaning, but it was not long before
I read over with much satisfaction
an apparent detailed instruction for
the disposal of some books and
manuscript left An ny Marvin home
which, when Lillian should translate
it, would meet her eyes thus:
"Leila refuses marry Alfred be
cause Rita Brown's falsehoods. No
hold on Brown to make her retract,
only recourse because Leila deter
mined. Please rush facts, if any,
that I can use."
Junior Is Happy.
Then I made a street toilet and
sought my mother-in-law.
"I think I'll take a little walk and
look over the village," I said.
"Don't you want to come with me?"
There was method in my seem
ing madness in asking for a com
panion upon this errand which I
wished to keep secret. If I had not
asked her, she, to whom no move-'
mtnt of the household was hidden,
would have insisted upon going
with me. But it is her first impulse
to say no to any proposition made,
and it was this contrary spirit upon
which I counted in making the re
quest. "I wouldn't stir from this chair
for all the sights in the world 1" she
replied tartly. "But 'I wish you
would take Richard Second along
with you. Bless his baby heart, he's
so full of the old Nick that I don't
know what he will do nextl"
"Of course 1" I replied, although I
wondered how I was going to man
age my small son with the trrand
upon which I wa3 bound. And as
I went to the corner of. the rotwii
where he was playing and picked
him up.'I gave a little groan of dis
may, j
"Oh, Junior, what a mess I" I ex
claimed. '
For with unerring baby instinct
he had found the ink bottle where
his grandmother had carelessly left
it upon the window sill, and though
he had not upset it by some mira
cle, his dress and hands were plen
tifully daubed with Hack.
"You naughty babyl" I scolded,
half playfully, half in earnest. "I
shall have to dress you from head
to foot.".
Junior rose to his feet with great

Ay soon as they reached the or
thartl Jolly Robin exclaimed,
"There's old Mr. Crow now, over
there on the fence! He's come back
to get your answer and take it to
Long Bill Wren. I'll have to tell
him you're sorry but you're $oing
to be 'too busy tomorrow to go to
the party."
"Tell him", said Ruty Wren
"tell him that, although I expect to
be busy, I am going to my cousin's
party just the same."
Jolly Robin stopped and sat down
on a branch of an apple tree, he
was so surprised. "My dear sir I"
he cried. "You seem to have for
gotten that your wife said you
wouldn't be able to accept Long
Bill's invitation."
"My wife" said Rusty Wren
"my wife sometimes makes mis
takes. And this is one of them. I

wouldn't miss my cousin's party for
anything. And I don't intend to,
either."
"Good!" cried Jolly Robin. "I'm
glad to see that you don't let your
wife manage your affairs, though I
have heard differently about you.
fcr some, people say that " He
stopped abruptly and looked careful
ly around. Whatever it may have
oeen he was about to say, for some
reason he did not care to have his
wife hear it. And he happened to
think that perhaps Mrs. Robin
might be nearby.
"I don't care what people say,"
Rusty Wren told him. "When my
cousin gives a party it would be a
shame if L. couldn't go to it."
' "I quite agree v with you," said
Jolly Robin. "And now I'll go and
give old Mr. Crow your answer,"
"One moment!" Rusty Wren ex
claimed. "Whit time will my cous
'n's partv begin?"
"Five "o'clock!" Jolly Robin re
plied. "And it will last till sun
dewn." The next morning Rusty Wren
helped his wife so spryly that long
before midday the housecleaning
was finished. Although she tried
r,er best, Mrs. Rusty could think of
no more tasks for her husband to
do except to feed the children.
That was a duty that would not be
finished until they were old enough
'o leave home and shift for them-
rselves.
On this day Rusty Wren dropped
so many dainties into their gaping
mouths that his wife had to tell him
that she didn't dare let the young
sters have anything more to eat un
lil the next day.
"And now you oukIiI to stay in
the house and have a good rest un- j
.l just before subset, she told
Rusty. "You've worked Very hard
ever since dawn. And I know you're
tired."
But Rusty declared that he much
preferred to be out of doors enjoy
ing the fine weather.
His wife looked at him sharply
when he said that. All day long
neither of them had mentioned the
Tarty "which Rusty's cousin, Long
Bill Wren, was going to give at Z
o'clock that afternoon.
"I think," said Rusty, as he
moved about uncomfortably under
his wife's gaze, "I think that since
I've a little time to spare I'd bet
ter go and see Mr. Frog, the tailor.
You know you've been telling me
that my Sunday coat is beginning
to look shiny and I suppose I real
ly oucht to have a new one."

Should parents tell their children

they arc noisy or troublesome, or
should they try to correct the fault
of the children without mentioning

Parents should certainly tell their
