knoll expeditiously. But by the COM

less than in answer to the Whistles

dropped to earth at the base of a

Hugo was firing vaguely, like a man

on his cheek was a deeper hue as he
sought to avenge Eugene's death.

Prices on food stuffs have gone sky
ward. President Wilson and others
see no reason for it and point u as
their reason the large amount of grain,
ETC., now on hand which canno be
shipped to foreign markets. They say
the supply does not warrant the price.
Prices in America are largely on an
artificial basis there is some stability
in them. Those who gamble in grain
are not wholly unconscious of the law
Of supply and demand. Prices are high
now, not because grain is scarce at
present, but because the men who fix
the prices are willing to venture a
guess that in the future IL will be
possible to the grain out of this
country to foreign markets where
prices will be good because of the war.
They are not considering only the
present, they are looking into the
future. To fix the price of grain on
the basis of present supply and pres
ent demand would be foolhardy. The
same principle is used by the gamblers
as is used by the farmer who holds his
grain. 1t is a bet on the future. Deal
ing in futures is being criticised but as
long as there are people who have
money enough to hold their grain, just
so long will futures play an important
part In the price of commodities. The
farmer who has capital enough to
make 1t possible for him to hold his
grain likes to dabble In futures as well
as the professional board of trade
shark. There is a little gambling
spirit in the best of men. Most men
like to buy insurance on their build.

like to lay some OF their earnings by
