SPECIALI Sec. tomatoes were bringing 16 cents per five-elghths of a bushel basket. In Kent County they were reported to be selling for as low as 5 cents. Be cause of the low price whole cargoes have been dumped overboard in Chestertown harbor. Growers who made contracts with canneries early in the Summer are selling their crops to packers at 50 cents a basket. Others who neglected to make contracts have turned hogs into their tomato patches rather than harvest them at the existing low prices. SMALLER GRAIN CROP HURTS SANTA FE ROAD NEW YORK, September 15 (#).— Business is fair in the territory served by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, says W. B. Storey, presi- dent of the road, but, owing to the smaller grain crop in the Southwest, earnings the rest of the year probably will be smaller than those of the same | period of 1924. Wheat was only in about one-third the volume of this time last year, fruit shipments from California were somewhat small er, due probably to prices, but, Mr. Storey added, the yleld was there and its movements would pick up shortly. GRAIN EXPORTS JUMP. BALTIMORE, September 15 (Spe- cial).—The report of the Chamber of Commerce of exports of food for the past week gives a total of 928,007 bush- els of grain, an increase over the pre- vious week of 442,993 bushels. Of this 718,007 bushels were wheat, 170,000 barley and 40,000 oats. Of flour, 1,67 barrels were exported, showing a de- crease from the last report of 11,368 barrels. oving NEW STOCK ISSUE LIKELY.

PARIS, September 15.—Minister of Agriculture Durand told the cabinet this morning that this year's wheat crop is officlally estimated at 89,000, 000 quintals (a quintal is a hundred- weight). Forecasting an estimate of 85,000, 000 this morning, Le Maitin pointed out that this is 9,000,000 quintals more than last year's crop. France's needs amount to 90,000,000 quintals, the paper added, so it would be necessary to_import only_ 5,000,000, Russia is beginning to export quan- tities of wheat to France, the latest order being 30,000 tons for October and December delivery, at 118 francs | per one hundred kilograms (220.48 | pounds), making in all 200,000 tons | purchased by France from Russta.

We ask you to compare them with Grands Notice the Without F you are one of the thousands of car own- ers who have been at- tracted by the handsome appearance of the all black U. S. Royal Bal- loons, it will please you to know this— These tires hold their good looks during the full period of their long service life. They do not show finger marks, mud or grease stains. The beauty of U. S. Royal Balloons is in ad- dition to those character- istics which have made these tires famous. They are distinctive in being true Low-Pressure bal- loons. Their construction and design positively avoid the necessity of over-in- flating the tires to insure long service. You can run them at genuine low air pressures and get the comfort that balloon tires areintended to give. When you admire the hand- some appearance of U. S. Royal Balloons—remember also they are True Low-Pressure Balloons Their “Low-Pressure Tread” is flat. It pro- vides much greater area of road contact than a round tread, thereby distributing the weight evenly to every tread block. That is why the tread wears slowly and evenly. The continuous flex- ing of a balloon tire on the road calls for great strength and flexibility of construction. Latex- treated Web Cord, the patented process devel- oped and patented by the United States Rub- ber Company, meets this flexing perfectly and ac- counts for the excep- tional mileage of U. S. Royal Balloons. So U. S. Royal Bal- loons make a real con- tribution to the beauty and the comfort of the modern car. Start now enjoying the advantages of true Low-Pressure balloons.
