The schedule agreed upon follows: nn...i -. .oi- hnahni' iharlflv 20 cen-ts: oats ana rye, "":u"?r h.TA- h,u and .butter tftatttatw, 8 cents per pound; milk, 2H cents per gallon; egge In shell, 8 .....

The Emerzencv tariff went into effect in May 1921 It levied a duty of 35 cents a bushel on wheat and 15 cents bushel on corn, 20 cents a gallon on cottonseed oil, 26 cents a gallon on peanut oil, SO percent ad valorem on cat tle, $2 per head on sheep, and 15 cents per pouna on un wnahnri wool. Immediately after the passage of the emergency tariff bill, wheat, corn and other farm products Kepi rignt. on slumping in price. From $1.67 in May, wheat dropped to $1.47 in June and steadily fell to $1.18 in December, at Chicago, in spite of 35 centa a bushel duty. At the same time, the export price of wheat was greater than the do- mesne price and me maricets in ureat xuuuu c -, ways higher than the domestic markets in the United States, proving that the fanners surplus products over what Is consumed here, the export market, nxes tne price, Without a tariff, in June 1920, wheat sold at Chicago at $2.89 and in Great Britain in June 1921, wheat was upllino- at $1.72 acrainst $1.4Tat Chicago. In July, without ff in iqn. wheat sold at Chicago at $2.50. With a C i i w w , tariff in July 1921, it sold at $1.24 at Chicago and $1.58 in Great Britain, and so on throughout the two years. The same result appears with corn, which m spite ot its lo cents duty, continued to sell under the price of the year previous, and was worth more abroad than at home, show ing plaining that prices ol surplus iarm products are noi fixed bv tariff tinkering, and that whenever wheat or corn or other products stop going abroad, the price drops at home because the domestic surplus reduces ine price. CLAIMS AVE AGE MINE PAY $2 Washington, April 7. Miners union representatives now , on strike in central Pennsylvania buck up their national officers to day In appearing1 before the houa labor committee to urge federal attention to the Industry. " Our belief la that an Industrj which gives ouly 100 days work a year needs reorganization," John lirophy, president of district No. 2, United Mine Workers, testified. "To get this, we must have the fact) ascertained by an inipariwi federal commission." "Restrictions of such bad prac tit eg as the opeulng ot new mine oy snoestring speculators," was said by Mr. Urophy to be deslr able, because there are now too many mines and too many min ers." Mr. Brophy took Issue with T. H. Watklns, a Pennsylvania oper ator, who testified yesterday be fore the committee as to wage. "Approximately 11,000 miners In central Pennsylvania last year earned $14.61 a week, or 12.08 pei day for the year, because there was hardly tw0 days ot work a week for them," Mr. Brophy asserted. COMMERCIAL CLUB AT DALLAS HOLDS MEETING Dallas, April 7. The meeting of the Dallas Commercial club was held in the club rooms Wed nesday evening, about 70 people being present, this number In- eluding 24 members ot the boy scouts ot America. Consideration of what was termed a derogatory article re ferring to Polk county published in an eastern magazine, the ad mission of five new members, I talk on the boy scout organization in Dallas, a report on road condi tions, payment of monthly bills, the future appointment by N. L. Guy, the club president, of a com mittee to cooperate with the boy scouts and the serving of an en ioyable supper constituted tht evening's program.

Frank James, local scout master, gave a talk relative to the activities of the organization and asked for the cooperation of the business men of the etty. The scouts present gave a demonBtra tlon of some of the work taught them. A report of the chairman of the roads and highway committee, payment ot monthly bills) and the serving ot a lunch by the secre tary, Mrs. Robert Sachtler, assist ed by Miss Rena Bennett and Mrs. H, M. Loban ended the meet ing. w BY Stupidity is the only thing that has no limit. More business and less law is the wail of the times. Why is it so many earnest people are headed the wrong way. Many a poor fish escapes because the fisher man jerks his pole too soon. The price of salvation and politeness was the only price the profiteers overlooked. There may be some consolation in the know ledge that other folks have troubles worse than ours.

Advise "Since then, Maud Sanson hat never swerved from her devotion, continued Mrs. Chester. "Theodore Stratton has been the great lover.. Ingenues havt jome and ingenues have gone In nis company. Of some of them irfaud Sanson has been coldly con temptuous. Of others, like your 4elt, she has been furiously jeal jus. Her quarrels with Tbeo hare at times- torn the- entire Holly wood colony from end to end.. O have never blamed her, even when she has ruined pictures witi, her fits of temper and tempermen My dear child, I cannot believe, 1 do not believe that any man or any woman has the right to play with hearts and souls as Theodore Jtratton has done with the heart and soul of Maud Sanson. "To be the great lover has be ome an obsession with him. The day you walked on the lot and he came forward to greet you I broke In upon her: "Yes, youall knew didn't you, and. you said among yourselves: Here la Theodore Stratton's latest plaything.' Oh, why didn't you ome then and tell me. Why did you let him break my heart: Oh, i don't want to be a great picture actress! It is a cruel game, I don't want to play a game whlere I have to take and turn my emo tions Into little gleams ot star light for the unfeeling and misun derstanding and unsmypathetlc and unappreciatlng to see and alk about. You talk to me about Maud Sanson! What about Tneouore Jtratton's wife, Mrs. Cheater?" I asked eagerly 'She probably married him very young, Virginia. She is a .voman of no particular attraction Jhe has borne- him two children and evidently worked very hard tor years as her knotted fngerb ihow. After Stratton began to make noney he bought a little place or her and the children. Now, after sending her a certain pan it hlg income each week, he thinks ie has done all that could be ex pected ot him." "How horrible- . And he and ie Oh, Mrs. Chester, do you now what he would have " Vgain I began to sob. "Yes, I know my child. It uve me the toothache." I smiled even through my tears "Do you mind my telling you, you remind me ot Aunt Virginia, ilrs. Chester? You. are very (lif erent in your way ot expressing but I am sure you think the lame about things." I am just a young woman rown old, Virginia. Not quite Id enough to have forgotten that once was young and I loved and. hated and I wept and I sung and laughed and I grieved. Not quite ild enough yet to have settled town into apathetic waiting for he gratification ot the last two lenses left me. In other words, ny dear, I am still extremely crit cal of my red pepper." I looked at Mrs. Chester so in- lulrlngly that she went further nto explanations, more because he was trying to calm my nerves han anything elite. "Don't you know, Virgle, that jvery woman, yes and every man ho lives his allotted three score and ten reaches that time In life when his foods means more to him han anything else. Taste seems he last sense to become blunted irat we loeeaour eyesight, then perhaps we detect that we do not near as well aa we used to do. rhen one day we find that which used to grieve us is passed by with ndifference.

"Some day you will wonder, as you think buck on tonight, what made your heart ache so. Some day with a IauU you will prob bly tell your husband ot my toothache and say that one was quite as imaginary as the other." I may think it, dear Mrs. Ches ter, but It Is one of the things that I shall never tell to my hus band If I have one. It hurts too much tor me to ever forgot enough to smile about it."
