For salads and ices there are all

A Patriotic Program
Where there are children a patriotic
program carried out on the lawn gives
much pleasure and sugar coats instruc-
tion in our national history. Build a
little platform of boards or boxes, cover
1t with greens and flags and make
background of the same. If you have
a family friend who was a veteran of
the civil war give him seat of honor,
also draped with flags, and persuade
him to give a little talk of his own
friend you may find one at the soldiers
home and thus annex one. We have
not many years more when we can
hear the story at first hand, and half
century from now the children grown

North Coast Still Hides.

The North Coast railroad, the mys-
terious creature Of hidden capital,
which is being built by Robert Stra-
horn. supposedly in the interests Of
the Chicago & Northwestern, the Har-
riman system or the Canadian Pacific
is still secure under it's mask. The
suit brought in the federal court at
Spokane against the Hill interests by
the North Coast to secure terminal
property, so far has been unproductive
of results. The case, however, has
not been finished and may not be for
some time. 1t has been postponed
until May II, when another effort to
disclose the parentage of Strahorn's
pet will be made.

Enormous Quantities Dump
ed on Wheat Market With
Telling Effect.
PATTEN HIMSELF
DIRECTS BULLS
But Wheat King Cannot Get
Grain Back to the
Opening Price.

CHICAGO, April 20.-What is ap-
parenty a concerted effort to break
the Patten wheat corner was made
shortly after the opening of the pit
this morning. Enormous quantities of
wheat were dumped on the market
and prices crumbled. May wheat
opened at $126 and dropped to
1926 IS, the lowest figure since the
sensational advance. Patten person.
ally directed the operations today but
failed to get the figures back to the
opening level.
The bears this afternoon threw the
pit into an uprOar by a terrific raid,
driving May to $1.23 IL, July to $1.13.
The bears continue to unload enOr-
nous quantities from all directions.
May wheat dropped another cent. Pat
ten held the situation in hand until
noon, when the bears turned loose.
May quotations closed $1.24 1-S.
A pathetic feature of todays trad
ing was the visit of an aged woman
to Patterns office. She said:
My son has lost all his savings
$5G00 in the pit You are responsible
for it, We are ruined. | have come
ito ask you to return the money"
Patten replied that he was not re-
sponsible for her sons losses.
