Some Startling Facts as to the
Recent Corner on Wheat.

The publication of the following
article was authorized by the
district union, No. 2, Winter
Wheat Growers American Society
Of Euqity, at Hastings, Neb.:
After reading the following in
terviews and quotations bearing
on the so-called wheat corner, one
may properly ask, where are
we att" They are fair illustra-
ton Of the methods used by
those interested in the speculative
profits on wheat, endeavoring 10
keep the public excited and in
turmoil, in order to prevent them
from seeking or devising a remedy
TO end speculation in the necessi-
ties of life.
]. X. Mullen, of Denver, Colo,
says, wheat cannot be had at
any price, mills are closing by
hundreds. News. Denver, Colo,
April Is.
The Rev. r. A. White, Of the
Peoples Liberal church, Chicago,
in a sermon on Sunday, 18th,
said: "The thousands of underfed
children who attend our Chicago
public schools must go a little
more underfed, children must die
and women must weep and worry
that our high priest God of Get
(Speculators) may add a few
millions to his fortune. Chicago
Tribune, April 10.
Millers offering premiums for
large sales of -four. 4 Minneapolis
miller, interviewed by the Chica-
go American, says; "Those close
~ in touch with the acute domes-
tic demand would be the millers.
There is not a miller in the
country to-day that is selling his
output, and many are obliged to
close down on account of their
inability to sell flour. This does
not spell acute demand, but
rather initiation and manipulation
(speculation).
The Chicago Tribune under date
of April 10Th, says; "The pre-
sent situation in wheat is the
most remarkable in many ways
in the history of the board OF
trade. With a crop estimated at
100000 bu. more than the prev.
ious year, exports were about %
100000 bu. less for the first nine
months of the current season than
during the same time in 1908
Futures are all selling at unheard
of figures for the new crop months
at this season of the year. Pri.
mary receipts have averaged lar.
ger up to date than for the cor.
responding period last year"
The Saturday Evening Post, OF
March Goth, 1909, says in part
Zone might suppose that the
rise in the price of wheat would
bring joy to the producers of that
commodity, no matter by what
means the rise was brought, but
the producers in short had mostly
sold their wheat before the rise
began. Otherwise there would
have been no rise. The bull Inanip
ulatiOn brings to the farmers the
dubious JOY of reading about {
feast to which they are not in
vited.

Heck Thomas.

Lawton, Okla, March 19.-The his
toric whipping post" has been re-
vived in Lawton by Chief of Police

times insulted the girls as they were
passing the railway yards and was
captured by the police Immediately

Cotton Too High or Goods Too Low to

standing, Is in progress throughout
the leading cotton textile districts of

curtailment of production during the

In 1910. The principal reasons ad-

gradual increase in the cost of raw

goods markets to respond in a way
which would assure continued profit
to manufacturers during the next
twelve months.

OF a brilliant rainbow, Glenn H. Cur
tiss thrilled thousands of rain-soaked
spectators here late Saturday by an
aeroplane Hight of more than mile
over the tree tops of Forest park
Curtiss was in the air one minute
and forty-nine seconds, and in that
brief time he covered close to nine
furloughs. AT first rising to a height
of forty feet he dipped, then rose
gracefully over the tree tops as he
turned in great arc and came back
to the starting point. The landing
was on rough. soggy ground. but it
was so skillfnlly executed that no jar
was noticeable.
Curtiss literally risked his neck and
his machine in the fight. Previous
trials had shown that the aviation
field under the shadow of Art hill. in
F'orst park. was too carmped for Sc
curing manipulation Of the delicatelv
poised aeroplanes. A group of trees
80 yards from the starting point was
an obstacle which George Osmont.

plane had tried in vain to overcome
during the week and was the indirect
cause of his accident Friday.
But Curtiss, flying in the face of a
fitful breeze, the remains of a gusty
wind that had ragged all day. rose over
the tree tops, and although his BIZ
plane tipped as he turned. he calmly
righted it. The exercises in conncc-
