IF WE ONLY HAD THIS.

Chicago, May 20. —With sugar retailing at 25 cents a pound and upward in Chicago, the discovery was made of that staple loaded in. cars hidden away on an obscure railroad siding. Most of the sugar is believed to have been sent here from Philadelphia, many tags on the cars were missing in order to conceal the nature of their contents. Although consigned to wholesale grocers, brokers and other dealers, it is believed that the cars are being held for “chain re-selling” in order to keep up the price of sugar here.

BOSTON REPORTS SLUMP IN WOOL

Boston, May 20.— price of wool slumped today, a break of from 10 to 20 per cent occurring at the auction sales conducted here under the auspices of the British government. Only seven mills took part in the bidding', and but thirty per cent of the wool offered for sale was disposed of. Buyers were agreed that the peak of high prices for wools had passed. According to the Commercial Bulletin, an authoritative organ of the wool industry in this country, the drop in prices reflected cancellations of orders for goods, delays in transportation and declines in the Liverpool and London markets for raw wool. Manufacturers’ representatives at the sale told of the return of goods to the mills in many cases, principally woolens of cancellations of other orders now in the looms and of consequent curtailments already under way. Some plants have discontinued overtime work, others have suspended night operations, and a few have reduced work to four or five days a week. It was stated, however, that a radical curtailment or shutdown of plants was not considered imminent

REPUBLICAN EDITOR SUFFERING WTH FACE POISONING

L. H. Hamilton, editor of the Republican, is confined to his home on N. Van Rensselaer street, suffering with face poisoning which he contracted several days ago. His physicians state that his case resembles erysipelas. His condition, while not serious at this time, is such that he will be taken to the hospital as soon as a room can be secured for him. It is reported that there are one or two other cases similar to Mr. Hamilton’s in the city at the present time, but the cause of the malady has not been determined.

CULVER ACADEMY AS W. L. WOOD SAW IT

W. L. Wood was in Culver Wednesday and while there visited the Military Academy. He found the grounds and tjuildings in their usual splendid condition and marvelled at what he saw—the efficiency, the completeness of the institution and the wonderful work that is being done there for and by the students. About six hundred young men are receiving the military course, which is divided into three branches-—cav-alry, artillery and infantry. He states that it is interesting to note how well the young men do their work and that they are all the picture of health. Col. Noble, who was in command of the 152nd infantry in France, piloted Mr. Wood through the institution and explained the school work in detail. The Maderios, who overthrew toe Diaz government in Mexico, received their training at Culver, and made excellent soldiers according to Col. Noble. Every state in the Union as well as Cuba and the Philippine islands are represented at the school by the students.

UNINSTRUCTED WILL LEAD

LESS THAN HALF OF DELEGATES INSTRUTED—WOOD HAS LEAD. Chicago, May 20.—Uninstructed delegations and the delegates who will cast their first ballot for “favorite sons” will be in the majority at the republican national convention, opening here June 8. The primary system, although in effect in many states, has failed to develop any outstanding candidate for the party’s presidential nomination, for of 913 delegates already chosen, less than 400 have been instructed and their vote is divided among several candidates. Majority Rule. Under the republican convention rules which require a majority to nominate the successful candidate must obtain at least 493 votes. Forty-three states and five districts and territories have elected the 913 delegates already chosen. The remaining 71 of the 984 who will sit in the convention are to be chosen by Oregon, Texas, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia. Wood Loading. Major General Leonard Wood is leading the field with 145 delegates instructed for him. The credentials committee which meets herp May 31 to decide contests and prepare the temporary rolls of the convenr tion, may make some changes in the list of instructed delegates, however, as there are 104 contests pending. Thirty-five contests involve Wood delegates. Senator Hiram Johnson of California, has an even 100 instructed delegates and Governor Frank O. Lowden, Illinois, 78. Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, has 39 votes pledged from his home state and Judge Pritchard, of North Carolina, 17. Senator Miles Poindexter is expected to get the 14 votes cast by Washington.

TAX ON AMUSEMENTS MAKE NEW COINS PROBABLE.

There are bills before the senate calling for the coinage of 2-, 7- and 8-cent pieces. The coins are to be made of a nickel alloy, and hence will not be cumbersome like the ancient copper coins. The bill oall* mg for the 2-cent pieces is backed by the • Roosevelt Memorial association, and includes the provision that a likeness of Roosevelt shall appear upon one side of toe coin. Further designing is still to be decided upon. The 2-cent issue has been reported favorably, and the •others now before the committee on banking and currency will probably be approved. Merchants and amusement concerns that feel the need of some more efficient method of collecting small war taxes and odd prices are strong backers of the bills.

THE FOLLOWING IS CLIPPED

from the Wall Street Journal and shows how the present gasoline situation is directing attention directly at the Franklin Car. “The air cooled engine holds great possibilities. It is not unlikely that it will ultimately replace the water-cooled engine for automobiles and truck purposes. Through the abolition of the wa-ter-cooling system the average passenger automobile can be constructed so much lighter that a considerable saving in operation costs will result from this factor alone. In addition, the increased thermal efficiency of the air-cooled engine substantially reduces fuel consumption. . ■ . One of the oil comimmes has compiled some data which shows that the average water-cooled passenger car runs about 12 miles on a gallon of gasoline,- compared with eighteen miles and up for an aircooled car.” ... Now then, listen —when a thing becomes a national question, when the national press gives column after column of free advertising to the air-cooled car, won’t you believe the Franklin is in the right P6 Some of these days when you ! have nothing on, (tut, tut, forget tut) you know what I mean, sometime when you aren’t busy can t I show you the advantages and comforts of the FwmkUn car.
