Does it even tend in that direction? Quite the reverse What we say is that the newspapers upon the whole perform their part in respect to these matters much better and more intelligently than could the people who are always preaching to the press about what it ought to do unless as is sometimes suspected those who have no knowledge of the business can manage newspapers conduct governments or run hotels better than those who have devoted the best years of their lives to trying to learn how No Difference Wliat This Or That Thermometer Showed Saturday night and Sunday were by far the coldest night and day in this section of Illinois Everybody who knows anything knows this The weather man for once in his life at least knew this cold wave was coming before it got here he was kind enough to tell the people what he knew and the people who put considerable dependence in him made their preparations and bySo doing got through the without being frozen to death History will never know exactly how cold it was This thermometer showed that it was 17 degrees below Sunday morning his showed that it only 15 while the thermometer owned by the man just across the street registered a temperature no lower than 12 degrees below zero and it is taken that this was about correct It cannot be said that there has been a great moderation today and what is worse still the weather man says that there is another cold wave coming right on top of the one which has not moved on to the next state The reports received by wire indicate that the cold snap is general over the west and that extreme cold weather has prevailed for the past 48 hours with a good prospect of its continuance At least there is no present indication of milder weather and from points in Nebraska eastward over Iowa Missouri Southern Illinois and Indiana comes reports that the winter wheat fields are bare and that weather as low as kero or below is almost certain to damage the crop There is no lack of fuel as yet and coal dealers incline to think the presence of cold weather will make it easier to get coal cars so that they do not feel any hesitancy in saying they will be able to supply the demand THE GRAIN MARKET SITUATION cans to tl chen supp et ing no si med!

He Worked His Little Scheme With Snch Conanmmate Coolness and Nerve That He Even the Conductor Into Apologising If the ticket seller of the Burlington railroad office had noticed the man who bought the ticket to Riverside at all he must have been impressed by his appearance of He was and although he had told a person a few minutes before that he was going to Cedar Rapids la it seemed inconceivable that he was buying the Riverside ticket in a fit of absentmindedness It wanted ten minutes to train time and having purchased his ticket the man took up an easy position with his back to the wall near the ticket window and began to scan a yard long time table with an air of intense interest Three or four other suburb bound people came along during the next five minutes but the man with the time table never looked up Then oame a man with a oouple of fat grips and the time table student threw a swift sidelong glance toward him as he bought his ticket and then ran his finger along a column of figures as though he had just found a clew to the train he wanted Another man with grips hurried up to the window and this time the looking man began to fold up bis time ta ble in a leisurely way and then sauntered along behind the last oomer to the train Both men got into a chair car and seat ed themselves side by side and the next minute the train pulled out Within five minutes the man who had been described as of a aspect thrust his left hand into his trousers pocket and pulled out some loose change and a bunch of keys He counted the money and looked thoughtful it amounted to $176 then he replaced it and hunting through his other pookets produoed a penoil His seatmate held his ticket in his hand and after another hurried search through his pookets the searcher turned to him and politely asked him if he might take the pasteboard for a minute assented the owner of the valises and he banded over the ticket mind if I write on it do you?" asked the man with a smile The other looked rather doubtful but before he could reply his companion was scrawling a rapid memorandum on the back of the ticket Then he pulled out his money again recounted it glanced at the memorandum with knitted brows and handed the ticket back with another smile have lost some money he explained I wanted to figure it out I have a scrap of paper about me" The man with the valises bowed

they cut in history on that Never before has Europe got so large a Troportion of Its imported wheat from the United States as this year The foreign markets are slow to follow the rise in prices that has occurred in the United States but if increased sup plies do not begin soon to pour forth from other countries the foreigners will be compelled to become urgent buyers in this country regardless of the price Just at present the foreign demand is slack The large current exports are the result of sales made some time ago and they are slowly falling off There is no doubt that the United States still has a large surplus available for export which will accumulate at market centers and check the rise in the market if Europe does not buy freely But with a renewal of a liberal foreign demand the speculative sentiment in favor of higher values may result in forcing Europe to pay fancy prices for wheat before the crop year ends CAR LOTS Today Tomorrow 96 180 781 1000 274 340 31000 30000 PRIMARY

year report is to be given to the press at 4 clock this afternoon The severe cold weather which prevails all over the west is regarded as a bull element -t foreign buyers are not very active Still the cold wave together with the large receipts amounting to 946000 bushels of wheat and 972000 bushels of corn caused the traders to absorb all the offerings The clearances kept up to a high mark being 587000 bushel of corn and 1049000 bushels of wheat flour included The fact of so large a portion of the winter wheat area being bare with the thermometer below zero causes anxiety for the safety of the next crop and operates as a bull factor Dr Use Bull's Cough Syrup for that hacking cough It is the best medicine for throat and lung affections One bcttle of this reliable remedy will effect a

with a person who had only $175 cash left In a few minutes the conductor oame through the crowded car and gathered up his tickets He took the Riverside ticket punched it and added it to his bundle and reached over and stuck a white slip in the band of the other bat and passed on to get 400 or 500 more tickets from the other passengers The man made no attempt to renew his conversation with his seatmate and at Morton Park rose and strolled forward into the smoking car where he pulled a big black olgar from his pooket and smoked plaoidly until the train passed Grove Here the conductor looked at him as he passed walked on a few steps stopped and turned back do you get he asked The man looked up a minute with an air of mild surprise then flicked the ash off his oigar and said go through to Cedar Rapids" your train oheck then?" asked the conductor know" said the man no I guess you give me any sure you I remember said the conductor sternly you got that train oheck you will have to get off

back of my ticket you can put me off or rather get off without trouble" Saying which the man smiled confidently and leaned back comfortably in his seat and resumed his oigar The conductor took the envelope in a serious noncommittal sort of way and walked off with it In a few minutes he returned his face wreathed in apologetic smiles on me I guess" ho said got to ask your pardon You seo so much

asking the newspapers to construct their items of news that the insatiate love for things which make for evil will be done The circular which is signed by a committee of fourteen women aims to reach a desirable end but it makes the common mistake of supposing that newspapers are printed with a view to conducting works of moral reform They are conducted as business enterprises and they undertake to aid all good causes and to correct existing evils and wrongs as far as they can consistently with the fulfillment of their office as newspapers If they report things that are unlovely it is because men do things that are unlovely They are misjudged on this point by bigoted people who con eive that the newspapers search for vile things to print whereas in fact every well-meaning paper and these are immensely in the majority greatly prefers to publish matters which show humanity in its more lovely and loveable aspects and refuses or suppresses ten-fold more of the disagreeable and hateful things of everyday life than it prints and this in spite of the fact that it knows there is always a large and hungry constituency eager to read accounts of evil things often more hungry with shame be it said than the better element is to read of things that make for good Hence it is that as a rule newspaper men look with contempt on most of the self-imposed labors of those very good people who burn with a desire to purify the press What do such people know of the inside workings of the press? TV hat do they know of the infinite variety of unworthy appeals that come to the press to shoulder (always at its own risk and expense) this and that personal interest and to gratify this and that personal spite of people who want to stay out of sight and see somebody squirm?
