GRAIN OITIONS LIT TLE CHANGED. Early Price Yielding Follewed by Re- ! cover y ? Good Crop News Pre dominates. | Early depression in the cash mar kets was not without effect on the gTain options, but the latter recover ed quickly and again ended with com paratively little net alteration. Pres sure to sell corn futures at the start on the sharp decline in cash values carried the May delivery in Chicago down to $1.24 1-2, and May oats then fell to 83. 3-8c. on liquidation and the fell to 83 3-8c. an liquidation and the overturning of some stop-loss orders. Yet the recessions were regained when business was resumed after Tuesday's adjournment for the spring elections in the West, oats turning stronger on a renewal of seaboard inquiries and corn moving upwards in sympathy, and also because of a 1 further reduction in receipts. While the domestic visible supply cf com increased considerably last week nnd is now well in excess of the total a year ago, western arrivals this week show continued contraction and are, in fact, the smallest reported in many weeks. But the movement still sur passes last year's 188,626,000 bushels having come forward to western point since the opening of the crop on July 1 last, or 5,440,000 bushels more than in the same period of 1916-17. One of the most encouraging fea tures of the week has been the good news about winter whaat from both official and private soui-ces. The weather Bureau's report, issued on Thursday, told of improvement in the status of the plant in nearly all sec tions during March, and Snow's es timate, which preceded the Washing ton dispatch, placed the condition at 79.3, against only 63.4 a year ago. The winter killing, moreover, is said to have been unusually small, and there is promise of a yield of about 565,000, 000 bushels, or close to 150,000,000 bushels more than harvested last year. But while the present outlook is gratifying, it is still too early to draw definite conclusions as to the probable size cf the crop. ? Dun's Re view. THE TRANSIENT AGENT. People should be very careful in trading with men who go through the country never intending to see their customers again. There is much of this kind of agency work going on now and there is no telling the amount of money farmers will lose by these men. There is not much of this work done in the towns as these men think the country people are more easily hum bugged. Barnum, the great show man, said, "The American people like to be humbugged" and every year evi dences of this can be seen. Many far mers would sooner buy untried and unknown implements from strangers rather than patronize home derlers who sell reliable goods. After the Civil War the farmers bought calen-' der clocks and wrought iron ranges. These were good but the prices were too high. Transient agents have reap ed their richest harvests from the sale of sewing machines. At first they sold machines like the Davis and White but sold them under other names so as to get higher prices but in the past five years the transient agents have sold many low grade machines. These men are not usually sent out by a sewing machine com pany at all. Some man with money and some knowledge of the agency business and a flexible conscience hires a group of agents and contracts with some manufacturer for machines and then starts up the business. I know of several groups of men who lican and I didn't want war. We have are now selling: a machine at $79.00 which would be high enough at $30.00. The people buy it mainly on account of the persistency of the agents and their ability to do fancy work. In other words they pay dearly for the demonstrator and the demonstration but later find they cannot do the same class of work at all. The machine mentioned above is made to show up well but the machine is low grade. It is made of low grade material. This machine will not give satisfaction and will not last but a few years. Several others no better, are being sold by transient agents in different part of the county. J. M. BEATY. RETURNS INCOME TAX GIFTS. Commissioner Roper Advises Donors to l'uTdhatie Liberty Bonds. Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper yesterday instructed collcctors that "all sums of money tendered col lectors of internal revenue by tax payers or by persons not subjcct to the tax as contributions or gifts to the government should be promptly returned to the donor with a letter expressing appreciation of the patrio tic service displayed." fhese letters declining the gift will add the suggestion that the money thus offered be invested in liberty bonds or war savings stamps. ? Washington Post. A Note of Thanks. We wish to thank our good neigh bors and friends for their kindness to us since our house was destroyed by fire. Everytime we look around there is a gift of some kind to re mind us cf those who have remem bered us. May God bless each and every one of them are the prayers of Mr. and Mrs. Tink Williamson, Wilders Township. MOTHER STARTS DAUGHTER RIGHT Both Profit By Information They Have Received. Public Comment Reaches Mother and Leads Her to Take Step With Good Results. More undeniable proof of Peplac's great work is offered by Mrs. Mary E. Southerland, Ninth and Castel streets, Wilmington, N. C. Her story explains why this marvelous remedy is at tracting1 such favorable comment from the people of this section, and is as follaws: "I suffered from stomach trouble, indigestion and ndrvousness. The little food that I managed to eafc did more harm than good, and a good night's sleep was out of the question. I heard how much good Peplac was doing for people I new and started taking it. It relived me at once, and I lost no time in starting my daugh ter, Ruth, on it, for she had been suffering terribly with pains in her side, the result of kidney trouble. She was also nervous and, like myself, slept poorly and had no appetite to speak of. "What Peplac did for me it also did for my daughter. The two of us are now enjoying a health race. It is simply wonderful how Peplac has helped us and we join in thanks and only hope that it will help others the same way." The merits of this great reconstruc tive tonic is explained at HooJ Eros, where it is sold and recommended. A bottle bought today may save you years of suffering. ? Adv.
