JOSEPH THE ONLY ONE
Who Ever cornered Wheat, Says Sec.
rotary Wilson.

Washington, Special. James vii.
son, Secretary OF Agriculture, said
that the American people need not be
greatly worried over the wheat corner.
Every corner OF this kind must fail

ness OF the position of the man who is
trying To corner grain Is that he must
buy everything that is offered him
The minute he quits buying the cor

successful grain corner, and that was
the one Joseph conducted In Egypt. a"
Secretary Wilson has taken steps to
