New York, Sept. 30.—The
opening on cables together with no
frost and prospects for clearing
weather in the southeast attracted
heavy realizing at the start and
during the first hour.
The contracts were taken by com
mission houses, Harris, Irby and
Yose being conspicuous buyers ear
ly and again in the afternoon.
There were quite a few big orders
from the mills. This demand halted
thei .decline which most traders ex
petted would go much higher and
covering by early sellers in the last
hour brought prices back to yes
terday's finish.
The weather detail showed rams
yesterday of l to 5 inches in Geor
gia. A couple of private estimates
around 12,400,000 would have been
regarded more bullishly if the re
cent advance had not given the
impression that it was down to 12.
Exports were 41,000.

Sn*ppy Town to
Live In
By RALPH D. PAINE
t
(® kjr Doubled**, Pm. It C4.)
TT WAS the tragic fate of Johnny
Beal, aged eighteen, to be a clerk In
a small town hardware store when he
should have been pacing a spray-swept
quarter-deck or riding the open spaces
among red-blooded men. He said so
himself, as often as anybody would lis
ten. If customers edged away from his
word pictures there was always the
pretty cashier with the bobbed hair and
the smile that beat any closeup ever
flashed on a screen. Johnny told her
this to her face. Instead of rebuking
him as a fresh gink, Miss Edna made
him dizzy with another of those mii
Ilon-dollar smiles.
«< Not that I want to run wild pull
or
any freak stuff, Edna, for I'm too
sensible for that. But I simply have
gotta express myself somehow. I am •
terribly ambitious. That’s what alls
me. And ambition Is bound to make a
fellow restless. My gosh! Nothing ever
happens in this soggy dump of a town,
and nothing ever will.”
“Adventure? Is that the big idea,
Johnny?” “lou
said It, Edna. More to It than
that, though. It’s up to me to make a
stake somehow. What chance have l
got here? You tell me.”
Mlss Edna ceased checking up a pile
of monthly statements and gazed at
the young adventurer with fond amuse
ment Then she powdered her pert
nose and inquired:
j “Why the stake? Yon can take me
j ou like. t and What’s buy me the one hurry for supper, If rich? you
I to get
; You have a good job for a kid.”
“So I can marry you, Edna. Haven’t
I told you that fifty times?”
(i I am not a fortune hunter, Johnny,
| dear. You better hustle and earn a raise
of salary. Heavens, but you are a
handsome boy when you look at me
like that. Now run away, or I’ll do
something rash.”
“Listen ! If I had a stake of five thou
sand dollars would you marry me!"
persisted the impassioned suitor.
"No, for I’d drop dead in my tracks
before you could b‘e a widower. For
1 the love of Mike, shoo! I
| am a poor
working girl.
As a brutal anti-climax the boss
bawled from an alcove: Drat you,
Johnny. What in time do I pay you
for? You come get this sprayer and
load it with bug poison. Then you trot
around to Doctor Merritt’s house with
it and show him how to spray his per
tater patch. He phoned that the mix
ture was no good and had the nerve
to tell me his bugs got fat on It.”
“The old dumb-bell don’t know how
t» use a sprayer,” said Johnny Beal.
“I watched him putterin’ In his back
yard. All right, I’ll show him how.”
Expertly, Johnny measured a proper
dose of the prepared poison and
dumped it intojahe two-gallou gal
vanized sprayin t ank. Then it oe
curred to him to ke It sure death and
so avoid more trouble with the un
pleasant Mr. Merritt. So he added, at
random, some arsenate of lead, a dash
■jf blue vitriol and a rich seasoning of
paris green.
That ought to put a crimp in tm,”
said he, as he poured the sprayer two
thirds full of water and vigorously
s shook it. He slung it over his shoulder
by the strap and moved briskly out of
the store. A? he walked along he plied
the plunger to build up air pressure in
the cylinder and get ready for action.
In front of the bank he paused to
look at a shnde tree whose leaves were
badly eaten by caterpillars. The fuzcy
pests were crawling along the twigs,
so many of them that Johnny unlirn
bered the sprayer for a practice shot.
He might as well make sure that the
machine was ready for business.
The caterpillars appeared so dis
gusted that he gave them another vol
ley. The breeze carried the fine spray
against the side of a closed car stand
ing at the curb. The courteous Johnny
hastened to wipe off the white spots
with bis handkerchief. The man be
hind the wheel swore and told him to
go chase himself. Johnny resented his
rudeness and advised him to seek a
torrid climate.
Just then a pistol shot was heard In
tlic bunk, then another. Out from the
entrance, taking the stone steps In a
leap, came a burly figure of a man, a
small satchel in one hand, a pistol In
the other. He charged straight for the
closed car at the curb.
Johnny Beal stood petrified, his
mouth open, too scared to budge from
the path of the outlaw. The pistol
was jerked up to fire and clear the
way, but Johnny was quicker. He did
not mean to be. One finger happened
to " be on t'» nozzle valve of *he spray-
er. That finger tightened convulsively.
The nozzle was pointing straight
ahead, with plenty of air pressure be
hind It.
Th« fleeing bjmk robber caught It
Ml In the face—prepared poison,
arsenate of lead, a dash of blue vitriol
and a rich seasoning of parts green.
Blinded, he swerved with his hands to
his face and crashed Into the maple j
tree. Falling to the pavement, he
groaned that he was dying. Just before
Johnny Beal banged him over the head
with the loaded sprayer.
«» He fits the description of Three
Fingered Jake Dorsey,” said the chief
of police, after he had snapped the
handcuffs on him, “though that mix
ture in the sprayer Burely did muss his
mug up. There’s five thousand dol
lars reward o»t for Jake, dead or
alive.”
ii Oh, boy!” blissfully murmured John
ny Beal. Watch me beat It back to
the store. Some snappy town to live
In, I’ll tell the world.”
Her Own Hair
George's wife fbcu ' n blonde hair on
the lapel of his coni. In a fit of
jealousy she demanded explanations.
“You see. my dear, that fs last year’s
coat.” said George, “and if you remem
her correct!y your hair was blonde
then Instead of brown. I didn’t change
the color of your hair, did l?” Wifey
was so taken back she forgot George
had worn that same coat four times
since her curls resumed their natural
shade.—Better Busses.
Well, How About It?
He was a thoughtful boy. “Injus
ticel” he exclaimed, “the world U full
of It even for a -youth of twelve.”
“How is that?” asked an elderly com
panion. “Hare you not observed,
pursued the youthful philosopher,
“how that a boy who hns never sworn
, to obey his mother's husband has
ertheless to do so, while that same
mother, who has sworn to obey him,
never does?’
The Romans had 50 ways of cook
ing pork.
