GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Dec 2S.-The wheat market
opened strong with prices up a shade to
Is, but failed to maintain the initial firm
ness owing to the selling of the May de-
livery by a leading elevator interest. The
close was steady with May at 1.061s and
July at 9S34 d9S3s Trade in general was
small The bulge at the start was due
to further delay to harvesting in Argen-
tine owing to Wet weather and to the
smallness of the worlds shipments for
the week. Total shipments of wheat for
the past week were 6.0ls.000 bushels. COM
pared with S.60S, 900 bushels the correspond
ing time a, year ago. Aside from these
influences no news of sufficient import
ance drifted into the pit to inspire either
buying or selling and IT. consequence the
market was a dragging affair the great
er part of the day. No export business
was reported and demand for cash wheat
was slow
The feature of trade in the corn mar
ket was the liquidation of December hold
ings by local longs, which caused gen.
eral weakness in that option. Other de-
liveries were inclined TO be firm The
market closed steady. with prices II low
er to y higher. with May at 81 and July
at 6lN5l1s lt~
Trade in oats was very quiet. The mar
ket was quite firm in the early part of
the day, but eased off later closing steady
with prices a shade higher to Is lower.
Final quotations on May were 515sQ51$4,
and on July 46l..
Provisions were strong. The close was
2J5 70 1919 higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

INDIANS TO
FILE SUIT

According to advices from Tlsho-
mingO, members OF the Indians Rights
association OF the Choctaw and Chick
asaw nations Will employ attorneys 10
bring suit resisting payment Of state
taxes which may be levied against
them. It is charged, in violation OF the
Atoka agreement. At meeting held
there Friday, attending which was q
large number of full bloods, q tela-
gram was read from Governor Haskell
advising that the state board of equal
ization had unanimously voted to
abide by the terms of the agreement,
but It was the fear with many OF the
attendance that what the present ad-
ministratlon would do might be for
gotten by succeeding one, hence the
proposed suit to legally determine the
status Of Indian allotments in the ap.
pllcauon Of taxes. Others az the
meeting charged the state with being
insincere in its promises. A similar
case was brought several years ago by
the Shawnee Indians against the state
OF Kansas.

Against the Fly

Chicago is awake all the time to
everything which goes to make an
up-to-date city. Ideally situated for
the channels of commerce to flow to
it, there are some conditions, wind
for instance, which makes # less
desirable as a residential city than
many of its neighhors. But that
every precaution known to science
and invention is brought into play to
make Chicago life more agreeable to
its inhabitants cannot be gainsaid-
The latest novelty on which the
genius of Chicagoans has been
conferred, is the destruction of the
pestiferous insect which buzzes the
livelong summer day, to the annoy
ance of mankind, the house fly.
Aside from being an annoyance
and a dirty insect, the fly is potent
vehicle for disease. AL the more
reason Why Chicago should set about
to make war against him, reducing
the number Of flies which infest that
great city as much as possible.
The manner of procedure in this
work is explained below, and as far
as possible, these remedial precau-
tions might be placed in operation
everywhere.
Here is the program of Chicago's
campaign against the fly:
Screen all food to keep the flies
away from it.
Keep the streets clean with a |
capital c.
Keep stable manure in vaults or
pits and sprinkle with chloride of
lime. Stable manure is the best of
all breeding places for flies.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house. It will kill most Of the flies
and stun the rest so that they can
be swept up and burned Scimitar. |

ssSelf preservation is the irst Law
OF nature, answers Johnnie Jones
Correct. Johnnie. Go right up to
the head of the class. This Law
applies to a community as veil as 10
an individual. Under the severe
operation of this Law town that
does not look after its own interests
first, that does not look out for
Number One, soon falls into bad
way. That's just as sure as shoot
in. It's the law. We must obey
the law or take the consequences.
If We in this town and community do
not work together for our own good,
the mutual good of all of Us, in all
lines of business, we have only
ourselves to blame if the place slides
down the inclined plane instead of
climbing the golden ladder of pros
perity and progress.

a.EPeerrusnsss'' Smith, Familiarity call
ed Wyclif, has started another
paper at Cameron. The average
editor usually drags out an existence,
drinking, when prosperity permits,
just plain whiskey. But Mr. Smith
informs the brethren that his favorite
brand Is called sPeruna, and there
is no doubt but what the effect Of
this booze on an editor will be closely
watched by the rest of the boys.
We always knew Wycliff needed
hxin' but had no idea Peruna would
do it. IF cheap, rot-gut booze, mix
ed with enough unknown medicine to
disguise the favor, has, as Wyclif
asserts, "made him new man." it

to the consolidation of number of
school districts into one. is ques-
ton we'll worthy Of the consideration
of all Who are interested in school
work. There is no doubt but that
better work can be done in graded
schools than can be done in a
school where one teacher has eight
and sometimes more grades The
same number of teachers in a grad
ed school can teach greater num-
Der of pupils than they can where
so many grades are taught In this
way We could get along better with
a less number of teachers and
could effect a good saving on the
salaries paid to teachers. The only
question then to be solved on this is
the way of getting the children to
the school. In many places, and a
few in this state where this system
has been adapted, they either hire
some one from different sections,
where the children have to 60 any
great distance, to take them to and
from school or else make arrange
menss with some of the older sehol-
ars to take them to and back home
and they find that they can take the
children to school at less expense
by one half and sometimes less, than
the salary paid the teachers. Again,
many of tine older children through
out the country attend the high
school any way and ii would be
but little more trouble to them to
drive 4 team with load of school
children than il would to go alone.
The Herald would be glad to print
any communication on this subject
from those who are interested in
school work and we believe that
much good may result from it. At
least discussion of this question
will do no harm
