WHEAT IS QUOTED Oil LOCAL MARKET AT FANCY FIGURE Ninety-five Cents Per Bushel Is Being Offered at This Time for the Product of Wayne County Farms.
g. . . .g f A NEW 1 I RIP VAN WINKLE j
IS THE HIGHEST PRICE PAID IN EIGHT YEARS.
It Is Not Believed the Price Will Go Beyond This and Much Unloading Is Expected Before the Break.
Not since the famous Leiter wheat
speculation in Chicago, eight years ago, has the price of wheat been as high on the local markets as at the present time, caused by the speculation in the Chicago grain pit. Local millers are now paying ninety-five cents
for wheat, but according to Charles J.
Carpenter, of the Richmond Roller mills, the present quotations will hard
ly reach a much higher figure as the conditions surrounding the present wheat battle, are not like those which surrounded the great Leiter squeeze. At that time there was a foreign or export demand for wheat far above the
f 1 figure, while at present the quotations have passed those offered by
foreign markets. It is for this reason
that Mr. Carpenter thinks the present
high prices cannot continue. At the time of the great Leiter squeeze in
Chicago, local millers paid $1.45 per bushel for wheat, but there are no
chances for the same figure now.
Mr. Carpenter has been in the mill
ing business for thirty-two years, and in that time he says the quotations on wheat has Increased over the mark, but six times. It has been due
to speculation in the big markets.
Wayne county farmers who are so
fortunate as to hold several hundred
bushels of grain, are pleased, but are waiting for still higher quotations on
the cereal. Many of them have refused to sell, thinking that wheat would go up. They are refusing to sell at
tho present time, even though a fancy
figure is being paid. Many however, will dispose of their holdings if the market shows the first sign of breaking. '
Relief From Rheumatic Pains. "I suffered with rheumatism for ov
er two years," says Mr. Rolland Curry, a patrolman at Key West, Fla. "Sometimes it settled in my knees and lamed
me so l could nardiy waiK, at otner times it would be in my feet and
hands so I was incapacitated for duty.
One night when I was in severe pain and lame from it my wife went to the
drug store here and came back with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the night. I kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rheumatism away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for over
three months." For sale by A. G.

TOriginaL One morning Walter Van Winkle, a lineal descendant of the great Rip, awoke in the Catskills. The only difference between the first and the last Van Winkle was that the first slept twenty years, the last forty. Walter had gone to the mountains one summer with a party of young New York bank clerks, had got separated from the others and had taken a four decade nap. Descending the mountain, he footed it to Catskill and was surprised to come upon a railway station. A train was pulling out, and he jumped aboard. The conductor on collecting his fare punched a printed slip and handed it to him. "What's this? asked Van Winkle. "Excess fare." "What'll I do with it?" The conductor passed on without reply, and a passenger explained that the slip was a check on the conductor to guard against his stealing the fare collected. Van Winkle looked at his informant aghast. "And the management make3 spies of its conductors? And they submit to euch a system?" "Conductors and passengers are both the company's spies now." Van Winkle gave a low whistle. "Is this want of trusting to Individual honor confined to railroads?" "By no means. No one is trusted except the managers, and they are trying to beat one another." "Is there no standard of honor?" "No. Once a merchant who failed felt disgraced; now merchants fail In order to make money." When Van Winkle reached New York he went to the banking house where he had been employed. It was now on the ground floor of a thirty story skyscraper. Of course he knew no one
there, or, rather, no one knew him. So he wrote a note to the president, Richard Trimble, who had been a clerk with him forty years before and on the camping trip at which he had disappeared. Van Winkle was shown into the president's private office and received with suspicion. Not daring to give the Rip Van Winkle story, he said he had gone to see the world. lie

"Eight hundred a year for guarding millions!" exclaimed Van Winkle. "All that's changed, Walter. We don't need to rely on our employees honesty now; we insure it." "Insure it?" "Yes. A company for a premium takes the risk." "And do you mean, friend of my boyhood, to insure me?" "As president of the bank I can't

The plumbers strike still continues and at present it seems there is no prospect of an amicable agreement. Both sides are firm. The boiler makers at the Gaar Scott plant who have been on a strike for several months are still out and the chances nre that they will remain out.
you I am at liberty to beat the bank If
I can?" "Certainly." "Do you refrain from beating It be cause of your integrity?" "I'd be a fool to beat It Illegally." "I see."
"Sorry I can't do any better for you,
Walter. You should have stuck to business as I have instead of roaming
all oyer the world." "Let me ask you one question, Dick, "Go ahead." "Are you an honest man?"
Trimble put his lips to Van Winkle's ear and whispered: "Only in small
things, not in big ones; no petty lar
ceny for me. This is between me and a
friend of my boyhood."
"It's taken you years to learn to be
dishonest. I've learned it in one day, see it's become the fashion."
"You might as well wear a plug hat made of beaver as to be honest that
is, what we used to call honest." "I see. When shall I go to work?" "Tomorrow, if you like."
When Van Winkle appeared at the bank the next day he found a photographer there. President Trimble came
out of his private office and said:
"You'll have to be photographed,
Walter." "What for?"
"Oh, the rule i3 to have a photograph of all our employees. They're easier caught if they light out with the funds
of the bank." "A sort of rogues gallery?"
"It's for those who become rogues. Most concerns get their clerks together occasionally and photograph them in
groups. Makes the boys feel their im portance, and the concern has the gal
lery. But we don't stoop to that. We take a picture of every employee be
fore he begins work.
"Is there any more of this sort of
thing to learn?"
"Yes; one. You'll have two weeks'
vacation during the year two vaca
tions of one week each at six months'
interval."
"I don't want any vacation. I lost
forty years by my last vacation." "But you must take your vacation. ' "Why so?"
"That we may have an opportunity
to examine your accounts."
Toor dog Trust s dead Indeed" remarked Van Winkle, with a sickly
smile.
"Better dead than dying. Give me a community - of honor or one of ac
knowledged roguery." "Is there any community in America where our former standard still exists?" "Not in commercial life." "How about the army?" "There's a good deal left there, I believe." "Very well; 111 go there. I'm too old to enlist, but I can become a mule driver, and that's better than making money under the rogue system.' And he did. OSCAR COX.
