GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A CO., 212 Union National Bank Buildina. CHICAGO, Jan. 29 Reports indicate foreigners will be out of the markets for several weeks because of unsettled European markets. This together with bearish construeing of the wheat stock figures are leading factors in wheat. Corn movement good and fair receipts are expected daily unless unforseen weather develops. Local sentiment is bearish and little can be found in favor of a permanent advance over the week end. Milling and cash demand is good however, and winter wheat premiums are one cent better. On any closing or Monday bulge favor tfales. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Jan. 29.

CONNERSVILLE MEETING FURNISHES AID TO POOR CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 29. The aftermath of the banquet, given by the Farm Bureau of Fayette county to the Connersville- Chamber of Commerce furnished enjoyment for others than those who were at the banquet hall, provided according to the report of the Child Welfare association, which disposed of the unused food, to families in the city. The food which comprised this gift was by no means the crumbs that fell from that lavish table. It. was unbroken food, of the utmost excellence, fresh unused because unneeded, and altogether as fine a lot of material for good dining as could by any means be found. The Federation at once decided that this should not be taken home that, it should be given over toi the good of the needy, and the Child Welfare Association was decided upon as the body which should have it. Also three trucks were lent, by the Lexington company, V. J. Barker of the Merchants' Division of the Chamber of Commerce loaned his car, and several other volunteers were put. into the work of distribtuion. Beginning at mid-afternoon the Welfare Association began the carrying of the food to homo where they knew it would be welcome. Forty families in all were served. In every one of them there was abundant fare for a hearty supper, which the recipients themselves received with hearty thanks. The new county agent, of Fayette county will soon take office according to Clarence Edwards, secretary of the j farm Bureau, who has just received a letter from the agent-elect, explaining 'hat the adjustment of his own business affairs in Illinois, preparatory to his coming hero, involved more time than he had foreseen, but that he would be here and ready to stay by the first of February.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

A MUNIFICENT GIFT

(Advertisement)

(Continued from Mr. Kelley and Mr. Keck, and Nellie was given her policy, Charlie .remarked a3 they entered the auto and rode away, "We certainly got some quick action there, did we not?" "That is on account of the system they use," Henry replied, "it did not take Mr. Kelley long to have our policy made out, and that Is -what I like, for it shows that he knows fire insurance. I am rather glad also that we had our Insurance placed with the Continental Fire Insurance company, for they are one of the oldest and strongest insurance companies known." "W7as they not pleasant?" said Nellie, as circling around the block they waited for Charlie at the postoffice to get some stamps. "You certainly have some agreeable business men in Richmond." "Indeed we have," replied Henry, "and Kelly & Kecir stand very high here for the honorable treatment they give their policy holders when called upon to do so. They do a big business here also, insuring farm animals from fire and accident and crops from hail and tornados. I've known them for years." "Now suppose we step over to Price's and get a delicious oyster luncheon." "In arranging for our reception next week," said Nellie, "I'm interested in the refreshments. Do they make a good ice cream here you can recommend?" "Seeing I have been eating Bender's ice cream for the past year I should be able to. Suppose we run out to the creamery and see how it is made. Their plant is always open for inspection and you'll be interested, I know." It was a moment's run down to the Bender Ice Cream company, 9 South Fifth street, and after Henry had introduced the young folks to Mr. W. M. Hanes, manager, they were taken on a tour of inspection to learn how, Bender ice cream" was made. "They must make an awful lot of ice cream to use all this machinery," she remarked, as they stood looking at the array of ice making machinery and the latest type of coil ice cream freezers. "Is their product all sold locally?" she inquired. ""By no means," Henry replied. "They ship all around the surrounding ing country, for 40 miles, and in the city here, 'Bender's Ice Cream' is sold at every fountain. Their capacity is 100,000 gallons of ice cream a year ice cream that bears an enviable reputation for its flavor and velvet smoothness. I like especially, their 'French Ice Cream' which is specially mixed and made only "in that funny big pot you see over there. It certainly is delicious and only 5 firms in Indiana make it that way." "There is one thing I noticed," Nellies remarked, as they left the artic packing room for the laboratory, "everything seems so clean and sanitary here." "That is merely good business," Henry replied, "tho' you won't find it applied everywhere. There is not a more sanitaray creamery in Indiana than the Bender Ice Cream company, and they have built this immense business up, by making ice cream of one quality only and adhering rigidly to that standard. , "Their telephone number Is 1188 Nell, which will be handy to remember for they deliver any flavor, any quantity, in plain, brick or fancy mould, anywhere in the city, packed to keep and delivered to your door. Then they do a big- business in supplying syrups to our local fountains, for while they have only been here a' year and a half, they are earning a splendid reputation." "There is one important thing which we must attend to this afternoon," said uncle, as they left Mr. Hanes. "What is it?" asked Nellie. "You have me interested." "If you spring any more surprises on us," laughed Charlie, "I am going to quit, for this has been about the most strenuous day I have ever put in. What?" "Not a bit of it," replied Henry. "You've overlooked that little queen of yours. So come on and I want you to look real pleasant, for I am going to have your photos taken. Those Buff Artura photos made by Arthur L. Bundy, at 722 Main street, our leading photographer, are just the thing, as I want you children to always have something to remind you of your first month of married life." Arriving at the studio and meeting Mr. Bundy, after the usual congratulations bad been extended and Nellie was arranging her hair in the cozy dressing room, uncle continued talking to Charlie. "You can say what you please, but when it comes to artistic photography, this studio is the equal of any in the middle states. Look at those photos! They almost breathe, they're so realistic; and isn't that posing natural? Mr. Bundy is an expert on retouching and that means a whole lot, when it comes to artistic photography. Then, as you can readily see, each person is so carefully posed that a beautiful portrait is assured, and each portrait is an art study in itself. Look at this group of faces. Did you ever see anything quite so perfect? Now you and Nell get busy." "My, but I enjoyed that sitting," remarked Nellie, as they left. "That wonderful 'Electric Sun' he used, and what an original pose he gave us. And so courteous with it all." "Courtesy is a big asset in any line of business," assented Henry. "Everyone is always welcome there, and I don't think there is a nicer place in town in which to spend a pleasant half hour. I knew you would enjoy your sitting, and when you get. your photos you will become one more of Mr. Bundy's many pleased patrons." "I heard you say last evening, Major, that you were not carrying any life insurance to protect Nellie," said Henry, as they left Mr. Bundy. "So as you have evidently neglected this little girl we'll just step over to the Travelers' Insurance Company, 214-215 Colonial building, and ease both your minds on that score." After meeting William D. Scoble, the district agent for Wayne county, it took but a few minutes for Charlie to make out an application for a 20payment life policy, with the smiling assurance of Mr. Scoble that as soon as the trifling formality of a medical examination was gone through with, his policy for $10,000 would be immediately In force. "That is some of the best work we

Page Thirteen). . have done today," exclaimed Uncle Henry, as they rode down in the elevator. "I, for one, am a" firm believer in life insurance of all kinds, and, carrying ray own policies with the Travelers Insurance Company". I naturally think it is good enough for you also. It's a good policy you have, all paid up in 20 years, and combined, as it is, with accident and health features, in case of accidental death your policy would pay $40,000; or, if you get sick or injured, the company pays you $50 per week as long as you live and suffer total disability, with allowance for hospital and operating expenses. Besides all this, the annual increase in cash value after the 8th year is greater than the yearly premium. Again, you are in a company that is noted for its solidity as well as conservative management, and having gilt-edge assets of over $200,000,000, with $1,600,000,000 of insurance in force, you don't have to lay awake at nights wondering if your widow will De proviaea ior. l carry an my personal insuiance with the Travelers, even to the sedan, which is covered by fire, theft, personal liability and property damage." "Quite an interesting, likable chap," remarked the Major. "What?" "Bill is a hustler, if there ever was one," replied Henry. "And I believe I'm going to like him even better about a year from next July. He's getting the business, too and that's what counts." . "We can't go to housekeeping without good things to eat," remarked Charlie. "Where do you think we can get the best deal in groceries and get them fresh?" "We'll just ride around to John M. Eggemeyer & Sons, 1017-1019 Main street, where you will find the best things to eat, and which is the one store in Richmond where quality counts, and I'll introduce you," replied uncle. "As they run one of the busiest stores in the city, they are selling goods fast enough to keep everything fresh on their shelves." When they reached the store and had the pleasure of meeting Mr.-Eggemeyer, there was an up-to-dateness about it that attracted Nellie's attention, and after they had looked around and conracted for their goods, they decided Uncle Henry was right again, for they found besides the best and largest stock of 'Ferndell' pure canned goods in the city, a fine line of 'Chase and Sanborn's high grade coffees and teas, 'Cross and Blackwell's preserves and jellies, imported delicatessen goods, . every line of staple dry groceries, a fine line of fresh fruits and vegetables,' 'Jones' Little Pig' sausages, and everything else good to eat, at prices which Henry assured them were lower than anybody else in town could offer. Upon leaving. Nellie remarked: "Well at least I am quite sure we shall live well, for with the privilege of trading with a firm like Eggemeyer's one can have no excuse for a poorly provided table. What a wonderful store that was!" "Right again. Nell," said uncle. "They are a firm whose word is good and i notice that their customers always stay by them, for they have, to my mind, a most attractive grocery, i run under their three cardinal prin- ! einloa nf Oiialitv f'nurtesv and SerVV . . v. t - - - . - ice, and it always seems so nice and clean. I like to trade there, for if you will notice, everything was under sanitary covers and therefore free from dus't. Their 'phones are 1197, 1198 and 1199, Nell, which will save you a lot of useless marketing, for Mr. Eggemeyer in the careful attention he gives to 'phone orders and with four motor deliveries, saves many housewives i the bother of tedious marketing." j "Uncle Henry,? said Nellie, as they I bid Mr. Eggemeyer good day, "what about that watch you promised me when I got married?" "I believe I did promise you one. girlie." he replied, "and I'll proceed to make good. I see by the Palladium that O. E. Dickinson, 523 Main St., our leading jewelers, have some splendid bargains, so we'll run down there and 1 let you pick one out. His is the oldest jewelry store here, being established In 1850." "I'm the proudest girlie In Indiana!" : she exclaimed, as having met Mr. Dickjinson, and she had, with his able asj sistance, selected a combination pendi ant and bracelet Hamilton watch, j "And here is something else I want I you to have," said Henry? "A chest ! of Reed. Barton's sterling silver, with I this beautiful Pompeian pattern, for ! it is the same make as your grand- ' mother used and you'll find it will ! loot vrm a lif-Hmp " 1 U .1 I. j ... I . . . . - - Having selected her chest of silver, Nellie fairly went into ecstacies over Ihe splendid assortment of ivory toilet sets, gold, silverware and ebony goods carried, and she declared that their ! cut glass shelves, representing Hawi kes' finest ware, was the finest she bad ever seen. Uncle pleased her so much when he selected for her a handsome Watternian fountain pen and a Ever-sharp pencil. "Wasn't that a beautiful assortment of diamonds though?'' she inquired, as they rode away. "The finest and largest stock of high-grade diamonds in Richmond," Henry answered. "Mr. Dickinson is a real diamond expert carrying an assortment that is remarkable for its quality, cut and price. "I admire the attractive appearance of their store, and I like their courteous treatment," commented Charlie. 'Cnm-tesv alwavs Davs in this old j world," answered Henry. "Like air. it's the cheapest thing we have, yet it pays the biggest dividends. Mr. Dickinson does a big business here, for people have learned that his word with an article ? a proper and safe guarantee as to its reliability. He also has a splendid repairing and manufacturine to order department, and his i stock is always kept up to meet the ! demands of a discriminating public i for he runs his business on two excellent principles "we keep what you ; want and at the right price,' and that j will win success for anybody, any where, any time." While Nellie was busy talking to Dave about her lessons in driving, uncle, somewhat to Charlie's confusion, indulged in a half serious criticism- of his personal appearance. "See here, my boy, I'm afraid, maybe. I am getting sprucer as I grow older, and that suit you have on is all right for business, but I want you to have a nice Sunday suit and some dress clothes, and if you are going to live in Richmond you'll have to do as

the rest of the leading men do and go to Robert E. Graham, 532 Main street, our merchant tailor, and be fitted for a suit" of -clothes. He has a swell trade, and it's right he should have, for they say he's ones of the best cutters in the country, and he'll fit you to your every satisfaction." After meeting Mr. Graham, uncle continued: "Look at those swell suitings. Are they not fine? They are the largest stock and most exclusive designs and foreign importations you can find in the city from the Bruner Woolen company, and are guaranteed all wool being the latest novelties In spring woolens, with greatly reduced prices. And here are some genuine worsteds at old-time prices." "And look at this suit," exclaimed Henry, holding up for Charlie's inspection a suit just finished. "Do you know of anyone who would crowd into a suit the quality, the workmanship, the style and wealth of material that this suit carries for the money? I don't. Especially when you have such a variety of weavings to select from." "Nice way he has of treating a customer," remarked Charlie, as they left. "He's the same way with every

body," replied uncle. "All the best men go there, for when Mr. Graham makes you a suit, you know it is from guaranteed material, cut by himself, and made right in his shop by the best skilled mechanics. He has made all my clothes for the past five years." "Pshaw!" exclaimed Nellie, as her shoe caught in the auto, and tore the heel off. "I just thought something would happen like that. Now, we'll have to go back to the hotel while I change to another pair!" she exclaimed disgustedly. "Never mind, girlie," replied Henry, soothingly, "it's only a minute's ride over to Dusty's Shoe Rebuilders, on Ninth street, fifty steps from the gas office, and he'll fix 'em for you quicker than David Harum could swap horses." "Shall we leave, them and come back?" she inquired, "My hose won't show in the tonneau, you know. "Well hardly," replied Henry. "They will have that heel on before you could run around the block. Here we are." Uncle Henry introduced the couple to A. J. Lienemann and explained what Mrs. Churchill wanted. "I told her we could wait." he added. "Why certainly," Mr. Lienemann answered, "It won't take my helper but a very few moments to fix the heel. Just be seated." "Didn't, he put that heel on slick?" inquired Charlie, in admiration of tho speedy Tepairs. "Why of course," Henry answered. "Why shouldn't he? Mr. Lienemann has two of the best shoe repair shops in town, for as you perhaps noticed, he hast a fine array of Goodyear machines, the best ones made, for the quick and neat repairing of -shoes. One thing I like about their work is, they never 'cobble' a shoe they buihl it up. so it looks like new, and the part that interests most of us now davs jis their prices are more than reason able. They have another shop, 504 North Eighth street, opposite Marshall's Department store that does just as much business as this one. I heard a lady say, the other night, she sent all her party pumps and two-tone shoes to Dusty's, when in need of repairs, and they came back looking like new." "How about auto supplies?" inquired Charlie, as they rode up Main street. "Do you find your car expensive?" "No! I cannot, say as I do," Henry answered. "You see, I have used the Dodge for the past six years and, aside from the natural expense of gas and oil, it was merely nominal, for Dave, as you perhaps noticed, is a good, i careful driver. But as we should have la couple of extra tires hung on the car. suppose we go over to William H. Niewoehner, 1131 Main street and I'll make you acquainted. He has a mighty fine store and understands his business, so you will like him, I know." After meeting Mr. Niewoehner, the proprietor, Henry ordered two of his Mohawk Cord tires hung on the car, "for I always like to know I have a good, dependable tire under me." said he, "and I have found by several thousand miles of experience, the Mohawk tires give me the least trouble of any, for they 'are built on honor' from the best of materials obtainable. How do you like their stock? Some fine tires, eh?" "It looks like you could get here what you asked for," Charlie smilingly replied. "Nice, clean looking store! I think I am going to like to trade here." "I am quite sure you will, for you will find here a dandy stock to select from. Those two tires you see on cur front wheels I had retreaded here with Gates Half Sole tires and they look like I'll get more than my guarantee of five thousand miles from them." "That's a lot of vulcanizing machines they had." remarked Nellie, as they, rode away. "And they keep them busy," replied Henry, emphatically, "for Niewoehner does the best vulcanizing in town. Mr. Niewoehner hasn't had the store a great while, but he stocks a good line of Mohawk and Gates tires and his genial personality and that ready smile of his is going to win him a big business or I'll miss my guess." "Uncle Henry." said Nellie, "I'd like to buy some toilet articles and presents for the folks in Toronto. Where shall we go for them?" . "To the best store in town," promptly answered her uncle. "We'll go over to the Dafler Drug company, corner of Ninth and Main streets. They are the leading druggists in the city, ard have the finest line I ever saw." After meeting Mr. Dafler, Nellie wa looking over the beautiful display and making her selections when uncle called the attention of the young folks to the thoroughly modern appearance about the store, and explained how Mr. Dafler had established an excellent reputation for the accuracy of his prescription' department, in which two graduate pharmacists were employed. "There is pne thing I like about this store," said Henry. "I've never come in here yet and had them ask me to take a substitute." "Pleasant gentlemen, are they not?" remarked Nellie as she waited for her purchases to be wrapped. "And I never drank a more delicious milk drink in my life." "This is the best liked pharmacy in the city," emphatically remarked uncle, "for if it comes from Dafler's. it's right. And I've dealt with them for several years. What you get here, whether drugs, sundries, their line of Penslar remedies, which give you the

exact formula on every bottle; their Nunally fine candies; their Garden Court line of domestic and imported perfumes; cigars, bathing caps in fact, everything you can bank on it being the best." "They were certainly a busy store." Charlie interrupted, as he helped Nellie into the machine. ; "You don't have to guess the answer." Uncle Henry replied. "They have one of the most up-to-date fountains in town, making their own fruit syrups, and what many people like Is, they deliver prescriptions and goods to every part of the city. Mr. Dafler does a big business, for he has the stock, an ideal location and is well liked here." What distresses me," said Nellie, as they left Mr. Edmunds, "is who we will get to move all the things we bought these two days. I hate tc think of having all our pretty furniture and piano marred by careless movers." "Pshaw! That is perhaps the easiest part of the whole deal," answered Uncle Henry. "We'll just run over to the Richmond Storage company's office, rear of 19 South 11th street, and arrange with them. They are the most careful furniture movers we have." Arriving at the office and meeting Mr. William G. Baker, the proprietor, uncle gave him a list of articles they wished moved, with proper instructions. "Well, I'm glad that's off my mind," said Nellie, as she settled herself in the auto. "I was really worried about who. we would get," she laughingly continued. "No joke about it!" "Don't worry, little girl," replied Henry. "I understand how you felt. Your Aunt Jennie was just like you worrying all the time like the old man once who, when dying at over 80 years of age, said, 'I'm an old man and have had lots of trouble and worry in this world, most of which never happened.' You just do like the rest of the people do around here, depend on the Richmond Storage company and they won't disappoint you. They have earned an enviable reputation for their carefulness In packing and moving, as they crate and prepare f.hipments to any part of the world. They have two large padded vans for moving fine furniture, exclusively, and have a thoroughly safe concrete fire-1-roof store house for storage of goods, with private locked compartments and safety deposit vaults for silverware and other valuables, which entirely tliminates any fire risk. You'll pre their big vans over town, for they are a busy firm of excellent reputation." "Say, Uncle Henry." remarked Charlie, "I've been using up gray mailer for an hour or more trying to figure out that bee puzzle you gave us yesterday. Why is a beehive like a bad potato?" "Why." laughingly replied the old man, "a beehive is a beeholder, isn't it? And a beholder i3 a spectator, isn't he? And isn't a spec-tater a bad potato?" "That will cost you four good cigars," laughed Charlie, "for Nellie and I are too young to stand for a joke like that." "Nevertheless," chuckled the old man, "I consider that a pretty good joke, and it's one on you." "Good!" exclaimed Nellie, clapping her hands, "Did you get it, Charlie.'" "Get what?" he inquired. "Why, that's the answer to th" 'single' puzzle Uncle Henry gave you yesterday morning." "Well, I'll be darned." he exclaimed, "and to think I didn't sec it in thfirst place." They entered the Arlington th?.' evening too tired and weary for words. "Well, Nellie, we sure did som hustling today, didn't we?" inquired Uncle Henry. "Indeed we did. uncle." replied sh .

"and honestly, I don't know how wo are ever going to repay your loving kindness. It was so good of you. an I we met so many nice people hen . One thing is certain." she firmly declared, going up to tho old man ar.d putting her arms around his neck, "when we get our house finished tb -biggest, best and most comfy roopi of all is going to be yours for keeps. Good night, uncle, dear." and kissing him, she whispered: "How could any one -help loving you?" The old man gazd at her retreating figure as she walked slowly up th stairs. thn throwing back his shoulders as tho he had discovered a nev: world, murmured : "And I'm twenty years younger tonigh, .with those kids loving me. if I'm a day; God bless 'em."
