but once or twice in the course OIL
his natural life, and on those occa
sions simply passing through tc
other points. Bemidji has beer

for the past three years; and this
progressive city is as well-governe
as any community of the same size

two years of suffering.
"For 80 years." writes Attorney
Entriken, ~ was troubled with
eczema, scabs all over my face,
body and head. I could run hair
brush over my body and the floor
would be covered with scales
enough to fill basket. I tried
everything-salves, internal med

Just month ago I was induced
to try ODD. Prescription. The
itch wasrelieved instantly; so Icon
tinued. 1t is just a month now
and I am completely cured. I

Knox to take steps to end manipula.
ton OF wheat and other markets
caused comment by James A. Patten

troll the present market for the high

"In the first place. said Mr.. Patten
- don't control the market. Ny line

of higher wheat because I saw what

no manipulation. Others who bought
early sell as demand Develops"
Mr.. Patten then diagnosed the sit
uation as he understands it.
"For three or four years this has
been coming and saw it. At the end
of each crop bins were empty every
where. With increasing population
here and abroad it was obvious thai
sooner or later the crop of one veal
would be exhausted before a new
crop was at hand. Last fall, if not
earlier, saw it coming. I bought
wheat and my friends did likewise
The great unthinking public here and
in Europe would not or could not see
what was coming. Liverpool would
not buy months ago, thinking the
prices of that day too high. Now Eu
rope wants 55,000,000 bushels. The
harvest was early last year. It has
been trying to cover thirteen months
instead of the usual twelve and il
can't do it. We need wheat for the
mills right here in Chicago now"
