VERTICAL DROP OF
 2 CENTSA bUSHEL

Chicago, April 15-A vertical drop of cents a bushel for July wheat in the last hour today recalled to many traders the collapse of the famous Letter deal. The decline in the present instance. how ever, was only one of series of the most spectacular fluctuations that have ever been crowded into a single session of the Chicago board of trade.
 Unlike the Letter collapse, the selling out today for one or more of the big own CTS of wheat in this city was believed to have been done at a handsome profit due in part to tenacity in holding on through an entire year of racking losses, but more to the almost delirious buying movement which seemed at last to have reached a climax. Purchasing today, however. was on a scale beyond even the huge volume of Saturdays business fol- lowing a weeks dispatches telling of ruin to winter wheat becoming worse and worse, chiefly in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
 It was the wildness of the breaks and bulges that in the main convinced traders there had been important if not complete realizing on the part of the leading longs. The fact was not overlooked, though, that tonight prices were on an average above the closing figures of Saturday night and in the case of the May option showed a net gain of more than a cent a bushel

2OM.41AVgK, TRIGGER. TYPEWRITER.

One day last summer I made trip by rail through the Mohawk Valley.
 The Mohawk-valley of beauty and ronance-the valley where Leatherstocking secuted, and the Mo- hawk wielded his tomahawk, and the Huron unsheathed his scalping knife and followed the trail.
 As I passed the. little townsof Ilion. at the head of the valley, 1 saw van unusual sight-a sight of unusual beauty.
 h a spacious green field, close to the train as we passed, sixty young girls, dressed in spotless white, and carrying long red, white and blue streamers, were dancing around a May-Pole. Several thousand specta- tors were looking on. Beyond, in the middle distance, were the long, dark lines of massive factory buildings.
 And who and what are these?" l asked.
 A fellow traveller told me. To- day." he said, is the Annual Field Day of Remington Typewriter Workers, and this is the principal event of the Field Day, the May-Pole Drill by Remington factory girls"
 A May-Pole Dance on the spot which not long ago witnessed the movements of a War Dance!
 Ilion, in the Mohawk Valley, the New World town which bears the name of the sacred city of Homer, is likewise Homeric in its contrasts.
 "Tomahawk' Trigger, Type writer ', are the three words which sum up its history.
 These three words likewise sum up the history of the New World.
 It was Ilion, once the scene of the tomahawk and the scalping knife, the crudest weapons of aboriginal war fare, that gave the world the Rem ington rife, the deadliest weapon of civilized warfare.
 And again it was Ilion which gave the world the Remington Type writer, the highest development of the arts of peace.
 Ilon history is likewise Remington history.
 The word Remington once meant an implement of carnage; 1t now means an implement of commerce. Once 1t meant destruction; now 1t means construction. Once 1t meant war and woe; now it means peace and prosperity; Illuminating caps sue ceeded by finger key; triggers by type bars.
 In 1870 the Remington rife spoke at the siege of Paris. but pen wrote the Franco-Prussian Peace Treaty.
 In 1905 the Remington implement of war was silent at Port Arthur, but Remington clicked of the Treaty of Portsmouth.
 War spells waste, but peace spells progress. The Remington imple- ment of peace has given progress to the world, and by the just law of compensation, what it has given it has Seceived again.
 In Ilion today, devoted to the arts of peace, is a plant twenty times the size of that once devoted to the arts of war.
 Great in war, but greater in peace, spms up the history of this famous

SUPREME COURT RENDERS
 DECISION IN UNIQUE CASE

in the Chestnut Hill cemetery. The asso- citation then went into the courts and se- cured an injunction to preeynt the ar rest of it's employees and other interfer-s enoe. and finally won out in the supreme court
 1n the meantime after it had passed the ordinances against the cemetery asso- ciatton, the town went out of business: it's mayor and council retired and ceased to perform further functions. In it's de- cision just rendered the supreme court holds that a town cannot go out of busi- ness simply by the retirement of it's of hcials. The court says;
 The fact that the corporate anthorl- ties of such a municipality passed only two ordinances and that the mayor, re- corder and aldermen voluntarily ceased to perform | cir official duties, did not op- crate To terminate the corporate exis- tence of the town"
 Under this ruling the ts,9n was made to answer in court, although its officials had retired from their posltiens.
