Jitney Dance and Side Issues
Yielded About $120
Net Coin
The Chcrrians are feeling quite pros
perous this morning, not because wheat
has touched the dollar mark, but from
the fact that the dance given at the
armory last night proved such a howl
ing success, both financially and social-
The line-up for the evening was
about like this: C. S. Hamilton, chair
man of the evening's entertninmcnt,
acted as general manager nnd general
introducer. As an all around introducer
and getting people acquainted, Mr.
Hamilton filled a long felt want and
just seemed to fit in on the job.
The ticket selling was handled by
such stand-by Cherrians as M. 1.. Mey
ers, Hul D. Patton and August Huckes
tcin and no one was turned down who
had the price.
The ticket takers who made it their
business to see that a jitney coupon
was surrendered for each dance were
Dave Evre. George Brown, John Row
land, George Hiches, N. 15. Elliott, D. I.
Howard, Frank Myers, Dr. Darby, m
Gnhlsdorf and John Grnber.
The wheel of fortune in which there
was a prize with every turn of the
wheel was handled by George C. I.. Sny
der and Bay Grant, ftv. Snyder had a
ball throwing show but as it endanger
ed the orchestra, had to be abandoned
early in the fray.
Dance Produced $96.50.
Ivan G. McDaniel and Eiilph Ham
ilton worked the check room and were
successful in collecting $ii.50.
The ice cream cones were handed out
y xiUgril rtluriUHT, 1011111, BIIII Ml,
jo, A. Olson, while Joe's bar was prop
by Hugh Alderdice, Lee Unruh, and Dr.
crly attended to by Joe Heinhnrt, Paul
Steae and Clarence Albin.
The Booth orchestra furnished the
music after the Cherrian band had
played a few numbers.
The receipts were as follows: 'Wheel
of fortune, $5.05; check room, $11.50;
ice cream, 1.10; Joe's bar, 4)51.40;
dances, 190.50, making the total receipts
amount to 1IW.55. With an expense of
iM5, the evening's entertainment and
dance netted the Cherrinns 118.")S.
The plan of providing for spectators
free was also regarded as an excellent
idea. In fact, the whole evening's pro
gram was so satisfactory, that another
fiance to raise funds to pay the Cher
rian band -expenses to -Mnrshtield will
be given next Thursday evening. An
entirely different committee will be ap
pointed by King Bing Deekabach.

Prices Fluctuated
ShghtlyjnDuII Market
' New York, Aug. 11. The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Although' there was no suggestion to
day either in the volume of business or
the movement of prices that speculation!
was running into a big bull affair, many
traders asserted tli market merely was
jockeyirtg for position aud that with a
definite settlement of the railroad la
bor controversy the preponderance of
favorable factors would be reflected in
a sustained lorward movement.
As a result quotations fluctuated
within narrow limits but in a few of tho
active issue substantial i mprovo
ment was recorded while in the greater
part of the session prices for the ma
jority of stocks showed a firm under
tone, despite the lack of public buying
nnd efforts at times by bearish tradorH
to induce liquidation.
After the first burst of speed both
in the course of quotations and in tho
volume of businecss, quieter tendencies
developed, the trailing element appar
ently being uncertain regarding its own
position and that of the public.
Bonds were not active -but invest
ment houses reported a heavier inquiry
for investmbeiit issues than recently
noted, especially for the short term va
riety. Money was easy and the known
movement ot currency in the week ap
parently foreshadowed an increase iu
bank reserves in today's clearing houso
statement.
Come on with your loganberry shor
ies. This one was received today: "I
see in your paper about a man named
Fred L. Scott who produced and pick
ed five tons on one and one half acres.
I will admit that is a good crop, but
listen. I have a fractional tlireo
fourths of an acre and picked threo
tons and 17-10 pounds and left hull' a
ton on the vines. How is this." .1. W.

II. Sunder who has just returned from

FLOUR MARKET UP AGAIN
Aug. 11. Although Govern
ment crop report turned out
better than expected, the liberal
purchasing by Knrope on uc

price. Hut still you can buy
