wheat CORNER
IS SHATTERED
Prices Take Decided Tumble
on Chicago Market.
MANY FORTUNES VANISH

May and July Option Now About Nine
Cents Lower Than a Week Ago.
James A. Patten, leader of the Bull
Movement, on His Way to a Colo.
RADIO Ranch, Refuses to Discuss the
Situation.
Chicago, April 23.-Has the bull
campaign in wheat, so far as the
public is concerned, been abandoned?
Has the bull leader, James A. Pat
ten, now reported on his way to visit
the ranch of a friend In Colorado,
changed his views?
These and other questions un-
thought of a week ago were rife on
the board of trade when the slump in
wheat continued, prices reaching a
point to 91a cents below the record
price of last week, when Mr.. Patten
declared wheat was worth intrinsic
ally every cent being paid for it.
Just week ago May wheat here
sold at $1.29A and July at s1.1S7s.
Since then the market has been de
clining In a way which the ordinary
followers of Mr. Patten have been un
able to explain. Instead of the re
covery expected after the cents de
cline the market opened extremely
nervous and weak. May sold at $1.21
4 cents under the previous days close
and S1a cents below the high price
last week. July, in which the bull
of trading has been done recently, de
clined to S1.095s, 4# cents below and
91s cents under the record price last
Friday.
Meanwhile James A. Patten, who
has been the inspiring leader of the
bull movement, was reported on his
way to a ranch in Colorado, leaving
the market to work out its own des
tiny.

Locked in Des Molnes Court House

Miss Clara Leahy, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. D. P. Leahy, of Blockley, had
quite an experience in Des Moines last
week, being locked in the new court
house for several hours before she
could attract the attention of anyone
to release her. The Register and Leader
has the following account of the Incl
dent:
Miss Clara Leahy of Thirty-frst
street and Terrace drive was accidently
locked in the women's rest room on the
fourth floor of the court house yester-
day and held prisoner until almost
$3.50 o'clock. She vas then rescued by
deputy county clerks who happened to
be working late and heard her beating
on the door of her prison when they
started to leave the building.
Miss Leahy entered the rest room at
about o'clock and went out on the
south balcony to rest and watch the
crowd. A janitor came along soon
after and saw the room empty and
locked the door. 1t was little after
o'clock when Miss Leahy discovered
that she was a prisoner.
By that time the court house was
practically deserted. After beating
and rafting the door for some time in
vain, the girl conceived the idea of
writing notes and dropping them to
the street below, hoping some one
would read one and come to her rescue.
She had no lead pencil, but she had
an old key and plenty Of paper. She
began frantically to scrawl: 81 am in
distress, unlock the door," on pieces of
paper. She dropped one after another
until the ground and sidewalks beneath
her was spotted with the distress mis-
aives.
Several men picked up the notes and
! read the hardly legible scrawl, but the
notes didn't tell where anyone was in
distress or where the locked door was.
And besides it was fair week and all
visitors were on the lookout for Jokes.
So Miss Leahy went unaided.
She yelled some, too, in an effort to
attract attention to herself, but the
noise and hubbub of the state fair rush
of vehicles and street cars drowned her
cries.
When she had given up hope of rescue
from this source she went back to
kicking the door and it was then by the
merest accident that she attracted the
attention of the deputy county clerks.
Ordinarily they would all have been
home at that hour, but the days work
had teen heavy and they had been
forced to work late. They rushed up
stairs when they heard the sound of
her kicks.
"Who is it inquired Chief Deputy Ed
Mahan.
"Let me OUT" came the shrill and
only answer.
"Can't; haven't any key" responded
Mahan. well ind janitor, though"
he added.
Then the deputies began to search
for janitors. Their efforts availed them
naught, however, until fully three-quar-
tiers of an hour later, when they secured
key and released Miss Leahy.
Upon her release Miss Leahy fed
from the building. To Deputy James
O'Brien she told her name and address
and said she was employed at the Royal
Cigar stand.

HOW TO ADVERTISE a. SMALL
GROCERY BUSINESS.

The average small grocery store
merely sits still and waits for business
to come. If there are enough people
in the neighborhood who can't con.
veniently trade anywhere else the bust:
ness will be moderate success Most
small grocery stores depend on the
mere single advantage Of location. A
little effort would extend the business
and make it grow, until it yields far
more than mere living.
The first thing is to have something
to advertise. Try every brand of can
ned tomatoes, canned corn, etc., till
you know you have the best. Then tell
your people about it in a handbill dis
tributed from door to door.
Every time you get bargain, every
time you have fresh shipment, good
load of potatoes, an extra nice run of
sweet corn, fresh tomatoes at a very
low price, send out the good news, and
write it up just as enthusiastically as
you can.
1t is an excellent thing to have lit
tie hand printing press of your own
that will print a sheet 6x9 or 8x12. Put
the biggest piece of news you have in
black letter headline at the top. Then
tell your most important news story in
few enthusiastic, well-chosen, simple,
homely words, such as you would use
in talking to those who CALL
Below that give six or eight real bar
gains-common articles at special low
prices for one, two or three days only.
Don't count your profit, count the num-
Der of new customers who come to
your place to trade, or the increased
business that old customers do.
Then hire faithful man at a dollar
a day to take your handbills around
and leave one at every door in your
neighborhood.
Don't do it once and stop. Do it at
least once a week. Get out an extra
big bill just before every holiday Hard
work along this line will surely build
up business. Many manufacturers
will gladly furnish you with printed
matter about their specialties which
you can distribute to advantage along
with your own bills.
If there is local newspaper that
goes to about the same list of people
that you want to reach, you will find
that space in the newspaper will be
cheaper than handbills. People may
not respond very well at first. But
try to get something fresh that will
interest them, and keep on for at least
three months. Before the end of that
time you'll surely be glad you started
to advertise.
