MAY WHEAT SHORTS
ARE IN A DILEMMA
Open Interests Control All Cash
Wheat Cutting Off Only Loop
Hole of Escape - Stocks in
Elevators Continue to Wane.
RY JOSEPH i. PRITCHARD.

CHICAGO. April 2S.-May wheat
shorts are in a dilemma The open in
tcrest in that month on the Chicago
board of trade is much larger than
the average speculator knows. and the
controlling interest in that feature
controls the cash wheat at Chicago as
well. These conditions leave the
shorts at the mercy OF the longs. as
the only lOOphole that should be
available is closed off. Because of
these conditions there is a desire on
the part Of many in the trade 10 make
another attempt TO change the rules
Of the board so that deliveries on con-
tracts may be made on the tracks.
This the shorts believe would place a
nail IN the speculative coffin of the
big people who want to freeze the
smaller ones out and II seems from
the grumbling noises around the
wheat pit that there are many who
are short May and who are unable to
see any way Of escaping rom the
clutches Of the big holders of that
month. Stocks Of wheat in Chicago
elevators continue 10 decrease. the
losses for the week being $4,000
which is $4,000 bushels smaller than
held here a this time last year. There
was some wheat aflOat here a week
ago. but that has been shipped out.

ton as sent in from Winnipeg was
dwelt upon at considerable length by
those in the Canadian market. One
concern up there said that exporters
were re-selling their grain. while an
other one said that exporters were big
buyers of the futures. which was
doubtless a reflection OF a good ex-

AS the month of May approaches

speculator is STOW TO take in corn and

not one in a dozen is experienced in
merchandising grain and these trad
ers would rather suffer a loss than
have something fastened TO them that
they cannot dispose of without a great
deal of trouble and loss. The news
from Argentina was conflicting in
character, some of the cables report

deal of damage. Cash sales were small
at 5000 bushels. There were de-

LiGHTsHIP PERILS.
Safety OF the Vessel and Its Crew 10
ahS Last Consideration.

Among the unsung heroes Of this
country are the members of the light
house service, which is entirely dis
tinct from the life saving service. The
entire lighthouse corps designed to
warn ships of danger points covers
100000 miles of coast line and reaches
from Alaska to Panama, the mainte-
nance of it costing approximately &c.
100000 year. 1t has about $4,000
"aids to navigation" including light
houses. lightships, bell buoys, tenders,
submarine signals, and fog signals.
A lightship must be kept always In
one particular place. Anchored to the
bottom of the sea, she has her steam
always up. but she never sails unless
relieved by another ship so that she
may put into port for repairs. And
such boat is used because warning
must be given at place where it is
impossible to build lighthouse and
where even the clamor of gigantic
bell buoy is not sufficient to warn the
navigator No matter how fiercely the
storm beats or how desperate may be
the boats plight, she must stay at
her moorings. The only movement she
is allowed to make under the regula-
tions is to sink when at last she can
withstand the gale no longer.
Throughout the service, both in the
lighthouses and on the vessels, there
is one object. one dominating creed
to keep the light burning and the
whistle blowing. This is the supreme
work of the mems existence. And it
would bring them deserved recognition
if the government ever published list
Of those who have lost their lives in
the line Of such perilous duty.
For about $G,O00,00O year these men

Verify we are progressing in the
use of words. The addition to the
vocabulary of the nation has been
quite marked in recent years. The
advent of the automobile and airship
have brought into use numerous new
words and some old ones that have
been regarded as slang have gotten
into the dictionaries in due form and
in respectable company. For in
stance, "damphool," "uglify, :"
"eorker," "stemwinder," and the
like are now in good standing. 1t
will be a great relief to the news
paper fraternity to be able to express
its contempt for a brother editor
without using profanity. "Dam-
phool" certainly fills a long felt want.

A great program of lectures touch
ing on every phase of agriculture
from planting to marketing, and still
other lectures for the farm house
wife and her daughter, has been
mapped out for the state farmers
roundup, which during the week of
March 2 to z, will bring 10000 or
more farmers to East Lansing. For
six days men and women from rural
districts throughout the state will go
to school at M. A. c. for brief, but
broad course in agriculture. Every
department at the college will be
thrown open to the Students" who
in the few days devoted to the insti-
tute will be given a college education
in capsule form.
One phase of the institute, which
this year will mark an Improvement
over the round-ups of the past, will
be course for women. Heretofore
there were only one or two lectures
for the ladies of the land" but this
season course covering the entire
week has been arranged. The women
folk will be told the secret of detect
ing authorizations in food and cloth
ing, home decorations, the food prob
lens and an almost endless number
of other things of interest to mothers
and daughters.
The courses for the men will in
clude horticulture, livestock, dairy
ing, poultry, soils and crops, fertili-
zers, farm mechanics and the like. A
full week will be devoted to each, so
that the farmer may specialize in any
one subject he chooses, or take a
smattering of all.
The detailed programs for the va
rious departments have been definite
ly mapped out in most instances. So
far all details have been arranged for
the horticultural, poultry, farm me-
chanics and soils and crops depart
ments. They will be as follows:
