There were boatloads of grain to be taken to the Chicago markets young Baldwin yolnnteed to care for that important end of the farming business. The spirit of barter and trade was born in the boy. In Chicago he manifested a great interest in the speculative markets.

BOARD OF TRADE
CITES PRECEDENT
Says Playground Plan Will
Violate Policy Adopted
by Congress in 1874.

When the District appropriations bill
breaches the senate, representatives of
the Board Of Trade viii go before the
Senate committee and insist upon n diff
ferent pro rata for securing the So, 600
voted by the House for Washington

TIE board will contend that Congress
in 1874 adopted "half-and-half" policy
with respect to the District, appropriate
ing one dollar for every dollar contrib
uted 10y the District government and
that, if it allows the District TO APP
prOpriate $1,000 OF the $1,000 for play

psrtUre from this custom.
The boards representatives who will
appear before the committee are Gen.

Yesterday the board met and decided
unanimously that Congress should be
