destiny, more favorable to those who
see it In their nightly visions than a
field of wheat. To look upon a field
of the growing grain, or preferably to
walk in such a field, foretells a great
financial prosperity. To those unm ar

love beyond their most sanguine ex
pectations. Not only will they m arry
the person of their choice but the mar
riage will be a most happy one and
their children will be handsome and
well-behaved. All this in addition to
the wealth the dream foretells. If
you are engaged in a law suit a dream-
stroll through a wheatfield Is a prog
nostication th at the suit will be de
cided in your favor. In fact you will
be successful In nil your undertakings
if you dream of wheat.
There seem s to be some occult con

wholly unconnected with those rela

much to be relied on as many grain
speculators have found to their cost.
In fact sim u latio n in dream wheat has
