SNAPSHOT OF LUCKY JIM
PATTEN, WHO SAYS YOU
WILL HAVE TO PAY 10
CENTS FOR BREAD.

against the poor people, he says.
In fact, personally, he is generous,
He gives to churches
and charities and deserving poor.
He doesn't care much for money.
He has been known to give back
his winnings to unfortunates who
him. He dresses plainly,
lives quietly.
Stock manipulation is only a
great fascinating game to Patten.
He plays because it is fun to fight
and win, to throw the markets of
the world into confusion and ter
ror, to beat those who fight him,
and drive them to their knees.
After winning he may sometimes
raise them to their feet and let
them go. But he loves to fight
against them, and make them beg
for mercy.
The political kings of old used
to tear down the houses of the
poor and drive them from their
fields SO that they, the kings,
might use the lands to hunt bear
and boars and stays on. The
wheat king of today only does the
same thing.
Patten says wheat is still far too
cheap. 1t will go much higher.
The crop is short and there may
be wars in the Balkans or be-

wheat at $1.25 a bushel, bread

This is the prediction of Jas. A.
Patten of Chicago, whose corner in
wheat has held stock exchanges
around the world in a hammer
lock since November.
Bread 10 cents-that's about /
cent silica price which may
mean privation to thousands of

Bread 10 cents a loaf-it will
mean $10,00O.000 profit for
