AN IMMEDIATE EFFECT.

Chicago, May H. Wheat prices
hardened today because the United
States visible supply statement was
expected to show decrease. World
shipments were larger than looked for
but the effect was offset by the fact
tn It supplies on passage exhibited a
falling off. Chances for a lowering Of
domestic crop. prospects encouraged
the bulls. The opening was unchanged
to y @ Nc up. July started at 80 to
90Ac. gain Of a shade to MONO,
touched 1913 and rose to S0Ac.
Oat strength carried the market a
little higher but optimistic reports
about the wheat crop lin Ohio and Ok
lahoma brought about a reaction. The
close was easy with July A1%c net
lower at $3.50
Scantiness Of receipts made corn
firm. July opened Nc higher at 56as

$3.50.
Later the market eased off somewhat
with wheat. The close was easy at 56S

Oats went higher all around owing to
the lively demand for May which bulg-
ed more than a cent, to IS cents. July

MIR. BUG, HOW WOULD
YOu SCORE THIS PLAY?

Now that the Cincinnati base hit
commonly known as fielder's choice has
been cleared away and all moderately
accurate scorers are complying with
the new law ruling by scoring the bat
ter with hit, new puzzle has de,
yeloped It is explained as follows by
the Sporting News:
It was the ninth inning. The score
was O to 0. Milan on second and Gandil
on first. Morgan at bat struck out and
on the third strike Milan and Gandil
started for double steal. Lapp, catch
ing for the Athletics, elected to try for
the slower Gandil going to second in
stead OF the fleeter Milan headed for
third. He made perfect throw to sec
ond base, and Gandil, to quote the
story of the game, would have been
doubled ten feet from the bag, but
there was no one there to take the
throw. Collins and Barry were dream.
ing of autos waiting or casting their
eyes toward the score board.
So much for the play. How do you
think they scored 1t In Philadelphia al
the American league park? Well, they
gave Lapp an error!
Was an error justiied? Send in
your answer.

with associations for conducting camps
for tuberculosis patients and will pay
for the support of the patients, leav-
ing the matters of administration and
expense thereof to charitable organiza-
lions. In this way cooperation will be
secured in fighting the plague.
In Polk county, for instance, where
the Ridge camp" work has been un.
der way seceral years, the county
pays certain amount for each patient
per week and the association handles
the business and raises by contribu-
tons about $4,000 year additional.
Last year nearly sixty patients were
cared for. Already this year about
forty have been received and 1t is
probable 100 will be entered at the
camp during the year.
That there is deep interest in the
work Is shown by the fact that DR..
Kepford now has invitations to address
practically every-county normal insti-
tute in the state. AS many are held at
the same time he will be able to ad.
dress only part of them. There is no
longer any question as to the value of
the work; only question as to how
best to get at the work of educating
the people in the matter of prevention.
Committee Not Unanimous.
1t has leaked out that as matter Of
reform committee which has evolved
the time clock idea for state officials
and has set "bookkeeper out Of a
job to the task of telling elective
state officials how to transact state
business, were not agreed either as
to what the committee has the power
to do or what the committee ought to
undertake. That partially explains
why the session here was cut short
and the members departed at noon OF
the second day when It had been ad.
vert!sed they would be in session sew.
eral days and state officials had a
number of matters to bring to the at
tention of the committee.
It appears that there is doubt in the
minds of some of the leading mem.
bers whether or not the legislature
had the power to deputize a commit.
tee to- take supervision over elective
state officials and to enter upon a
general plan Of deciding just how the
I state business is to be transacted. The
law under which the committee oper,
ates is declared to be sufficiently
sweeping, If broadly interpreted, to
authorize the committee virtually to
arrange the details Of business for
every elective state official.
None of the state officials have
, shown the slightest disposition to de.
muir to anything done by the commit
tee, for they are all anxious to accom-
pltsh the best results with least ex.
pense, but there is no doubt that
among the members Of the committee
there is some hesitancy about under
taking to go as far as the act passed
seemed to contemplate.
