Mr.. Hinshaw's early training il
school work was received in the rura
schools of Hardin county, Iowa. His
parents lived on a farm near Unior
and here his boyhood days were spent
going to school during the school veal
and working on the farm vacations.
When it came time for him to leave
the country school the county super
intendent gave the class an eXamin
alton and Mr.. Hinshaw was one OF
the few who started in his class, to
stay by to the end and receive his
diploma. He ranked first in the
class, which was taken from two
schools. Inspired by this success and
the hope of gaining a higher educa,
ton, he entered the Academy at New
Providence, Iowa, the following fall,
driving four and one-half miles to and
from school each day and, after the
evening chores were done, would
quietly slip off from the rest of the
family to his room upstairs and pre-
pare his lessons for the following day.
AS time rolled on, not satisfied
with only an academic education, he
began to think about going away to
school, And as luck would have it,
his mother encouraged him to go to
Oskaloosa one fall and attend Friends
Yearly Meeting. This would be a
grand treat and he spent much of
his spare time wondering what Penn
college really looked like. Only a
few from that section of the country
had ever gone away to school; and
college graduate was remarkable
parsonage to young Hinshaw. AS the
time drew near when he was to visit
Oskaloosa for the first time, new
hopes and aspirations filled his mind.
There were many pleasant things
which TRANSFERRED to make the trip
a memorable one, but the one most
impressive was the following: One
day as Mr.. Hinshaw was leaving the
Yearly Meeting House Grounds a
stranger asked him to ride with him,
and by his good-natured, honest con.
versation planted the seed in the
boys mind which later developed in,
to a sincere regard and admiration
for this man whom he afterwards
came to know as President Rosenber
ger, and he returned home with the
determination to enter Penn college
at the earliest opportunity. But this
would be the test, to leave home and
friends and go away among strang
ers: not only this, but how to meet
the expense to carry. him through the
four long years of his college course
Thus he returned to his studies at the
old academy with feeling that
what others have done | can do
Applying himself diligently to his
work he finished at the academy in

WASHINGTON, April S.--When
James a. Patten operated in May
wheat in 1909, he did not conduct a
corner of wheat several prominent
members told the house today. In
stead OF cornerlng wheat and holding
out for enormous profits, Mr.. Patten
performed a "beneficient" action, ac-
cording to John L. Merrill. president
OF the Council OF Grain Exchanges,
who acted as spokesman for the Chi
cago Board of Trade and other wheat
and corn exchanges at today's hear
ings.
WAS that Patten's purpose"
asked Representative Simms of Ten
nessee.
Il don't know that Mr.. Patten had
any philanthropic motive in mind
answered Mr. Merrill, but that is the
fact Patten committed no act that
was not entirely justifiable,"
"You can go back to the operations
of Joseph 35Oo years ago." continued
Mr. Merrill. The same thing was
done then and has been done ever
since. Patten did not run a corner.
Nobody upholds a corner and no rep
utable man upholds gambling but yet
men gamble. We cannot read mans
mind when he makes a deal on the
Board of Trade and because Patten
had studied the worlds wheat condi-
tions and knew what supply there
would be and based his selling price
on 1t that was no fault of any existing
or any other person.
No More Corners.
Mr.. Merrill appeared to oppose the
score or more Of anti option bills pre-
sented to congress. They are aimed
to prevent gambling in future deliver
les of grain and cotton. The cotton
exchange representatives will be
heard tomorrow.
