CHICAGO GRAIN.

enc AGO, Lnna 2a,-There were
two potent bear factors in the wheat
market today, and these overbaianced
the belief in certain circles that the
Northwestern crop is likely to suffer
because OF lack Of moisture. Inc
first or most important factor was
the reported sales of new wheat TO
come here from Nebraska and Iowa
during July, and Of the arrival of
hard new wheat at Kansas city. and
st. Louis from Oklahoma, Tho sec
end factor was the settlement Of the
differences between the grain re~
ceivers' association. and the elevator
concerns at Chicago.
AZ was the case when the South
western crop were said TO be loal4g
ground. and experts were sent in Il
bunch 10 the States where losses
were known to exst, the reports OF
deterioration OF the spring wheat con-
| tinued TO come from one section to-
| day.

Education is an end. Mental and
physical gymnastics are means TO
that end. Mental development re-
sulting from daily mental exercise
should be the great aim In all under
graduate work. A certain amount of
information OF value Is acquired in
the process. but the amount is small
at best and inadequate. Men who
have devoted their lives to the sub
ject can better prescribe a course in
mental gymnastics than youngsters;
indeed better than the average par

along educational lines. Here we

moulding the opinion OF the farm

has the valuable aid of the Danish
high schools. They include both
summer and winter sessions for
students of mature years of both

are at the very root of the feeling
which induces the Dane to make ev-

The emigration which takes place
from some western states to Canada
would be regarded as very unpat-
