FLIES
FROM THE PIT
ANDR[PORT[RS
FerOcious Onslaught Made by
Bears Upon Worried Bulls
in Sensational Trading
No One Knows Whether the
Wheat King Is Big VIM
ner or Heavy Loser

CHICAGO. April 22.-That James
Patten, hailed throughout the country
as the wheat king" has withdrawn
from the market after disposing of his
heavy holdings of May and July wheat
was asserted in many quarters here to-
day. To this assertion was added. the
fact that prices have tumbIed over 9
cents during the last week, and that
Patten has sought rest on a New
Mexico ranch.
Whether he has eliminated himself
from the deal" and if so. whether
he came out with profit or loss. are
questions that can be answered only
by Patten himself Those who read
the dispatch from Colorado about the
discouraging reception met by a re-
porter who tried to interview the big
speculator between trains expressed
the opinion that this answer seemed
unlikely TO be forthcoming
BULLS ARE DISAPPOINTED
The session of the board of trade
was sensational today Bulls had Elk
pected that after the cent decline
of the two previous sessions a recovery
would ensue. Taking the Patten view
Of the shortage as correct. and that
wheat was intrinsically worth the price
that has been paid for il in a purely
speculative way, the reaction was due
but the first quotations were a star
Ting disappointment to the bulls.
From nearly every point came reports
Of normal or even better crop prospects.
Liverpool prices were down and the
shipments from Argentina, Australia
and other foreign countries were said
20 be greater than usual at this time
Of the year.
BEARS FILL THE PIT
Bears filled the wheat pit in a dense
mass and poured forth swollen stream
Of wheat The longs liquidated all
along the line and the execution of
stop loss orders added to the confusion.
Frequently il was impossible to make
designated by the customer.
FORTUNES WIPED OUT
Many fortune has been wiped out
by the decline this week. and many
man who had handsome profit on
confronts deficit. The wide publicity
given the market brought into IL nu-
merous men who ordinarily walked in
quieter paths.
The regular daily bulletin issued by
Bartlett, Patten & Co. after the close
Of the market said:
The real condition is unchanged.
There is no more wheat in the country
than there was before the decline. and
the decline is just as good. Our con-
f1dence in higher prices is as great as
ever

fused TO answer. Patten displayed
great anger when the reporter per-
sisted in questioning him regarding
wheat conditions.

think" he snapped. turning on the re-
porter. Il want TO forget wheat and
m tired OF reporters Get ont.
That settled il. Patten shut I'D and
so did the reporter
NEEDLESS OF WARNING
At the hotel where Patten rested for
few hours he was warned by the
clerk that il would be dangerous TO

Gus blizzard is raging in the noun

I don't care said Patten Il want
seclusion and rest, and I'm going

Is YOUR FAMILY
READING "wokfh WH,LE"1

So Much Of current reading is merely
entertaining at best that the question
naturally arises, Is 1t worth whiles Your
sons and daughters are bound to read
something. They hunger for stories
which take them into the other half of
the world-the world of adventure, of
valor, Of fortune making. The problem
is to give them such reading without
putting into their hands the literature
that is either silly or demoralizing. The
editors of The Youths Companion be.
lieve that periodical can be made en-
tertaining and yet worth WHILE" and
The Companion is conducted on that
theory. And that is one reason why
more than half a million American fam.
lilies read it. The paper is safe but not
dull. Its tales of adventure illustrate
the advantages of fortitude and self re-
lance. Its stories of character lay stress
on the truth that right conduct is never
a mistake.

special advantage to send at once the

A COMMUNICATION
Tho Knockers Creed
(NAMR OF WRITER UNKNOWN TO Us)

Man comes into the world with
out his consent, and leaves it a.
gainst his will.
During his stay on earth, his time
is spent in one continuous round of
contraries, and misunderstanding.
In his infancy, he is an angel.
In his boyhood, he is devil.
In his manhood, he is everything
from a lizard up.
In his duties he is a damned fool.
If he raises check he is a thief.
And then the law raises hell with
him.
If he is a poor man, he is a poor
manager, and has no sense.
If he is rich he, he is dishonest,
but considered smart.
If he is a politician, he is a graf
ter and crook.
If he is out of politics you can
place him as he is an undesirable
citizen.
If he goes to church, he is hyp-
ocrits.
If he stays away, he is sinner.
If he donates to foreign missions
he does it for show.
If he does not, he is stingy and a
tight wad.
When he comes into the world,
everybody wants to kiss him.
When he goes out, everybody
wants to kick him.
If he dies young, there was a
great future before him.
If he lives to a ripe old age, then
of course, he is living only to save
funeral expenses.
Now life's a damned funny thing,
isn't it?
