WHEAT MARKET Wild
As PRICES CHANGE
Fluctuation Sharp and Prices
Change Forcibly and
Often.
TBY LEASED WiRE.1

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-There was no
big surprises among the conservative
men in grain, because Of the sharp
price changes as we'll as the decline
for the entire grain list, which amount
ed to IN @1Ac for wheat, 40 hc for
corn and NO &c for oats. The wheat
market was live affair, with the fluc-
tuations at times quite sharp, and
these price changes were continuous
from the opening to the closing Of the
day.
Cash wheat transactions were much
larger than generally reported; not
only here, but at other points. Two
round lots were sold at Buffalo to go
abroad. A round lot was also sold to
go out via the gulf, and New York
reported big transactions. 1t would
be difficult to say as to the exact
amount of wheat sold.
Corn was moderately active, with
sales Of 300 bushels cash. and 1885,
900 bushels oats.
Provisions were lower all around.

The ;27,76o for road maintenance

The $27.760 for road maintenance
includes the cost of new machinery. an
item of $2.357.48. The county now
has on hands machinery and tools in
good condition valued at $6,683.
When the present road law was
passed tho farmers of Wayne county
were up In arms because It was under
stood they would not get employment
during idle times a. formerly. This
report. however. shows that q road
making army Of 1928 farmers was
employed. There are no publications
in the list, but this many different
names have appeared on the pay roll.
This is fully double the number Of
farmers ever hired for road work in
one year before.
To Maintain System.
The organization of assistant super
intendents is so satisfactory that the
residents of different road districts
have asked that the same men be re-
appointed. Superintendent Jones,
whose term of office does not expire
for another year, said he would make
no changes in the organization.
The assistant superintendent and
the districts which were refixed last
summer, follow:
No. 1-Franklin and New Garden
townships, J. NJ. Burt. Whitewater.
N. 2-Perry and Green townships.

Roads Near Perfection.
Mr. Jones and number of his as
sistants will attend the road-making
short course at Purdue university,
starting January II. This probably
will be of special interest to Wayne
county residents, because representa-
tives of the university engineering de-
partment who investigated all ROADS
of the state, declared the Wayne coun-
ty roads the nearest to perfection.
The report of the road expenditures
which can be placed against last year,

MAY DRAIN POND TO RECOVER BODY
 OF MISSING MAN
Dragging Bottom Has No Result in Search for Joseph
 HeindOWSky

Berkshire pond may be drained in the effort to recover the body of Jos eph Heindowszy of 125 Island Brook avenue, who is believed to have been drown Friday when he rowed out on the pond in, the effort to make a short cut to his home. Search is still being made for him by the po- lice and David Goldstein, water front worker. who has dragged the bottom of the pond.
 It has. been suggested that the pond be drained but the owner declared that the body would probably be washed through the race. Those who put forward the suggestion now suggest that a piece of iron fencing would obviate that possibility
 Heindowsky has been missing from home since Friday evening when he became Intoxicated in a saloon and conceived the idea of going home by way of Berkshire pond. The boat he used was later found bottom up, and it is concluded that Heindowsky was drowned.
 The pond was dragged yesterday. Much refuse was brought to the sur face but Heindowsky's body couldn't be found.

PRESIDENT URGES LOPMENT OF
 AMERICAN TRADE
Says Government Must Pro vide Ships If Private
 Capital Refuses.

Washington. May 24-President Wilson, speaking at the opening of the Pan-American Financial Conference here today, expressed the hope that the Americans might show the world the path of peace. The President was loudly applauded by the delegates as he entered the hall of the Americas in the Pan-American building, where the meetings are being held.
 On the platform were members of the cabinet and the audience included many high government officials, in addition to the representatives of South and Central American countries.
 The President declared the people of the Americas were not trying to make use of one another but were trying to be of us to one another. He spoke of the Handsome rivalry which, he said, was good for nations. The lack of physical means of com munication bteween the Americas, he said. stood somewhat in the way of the development of commerce and friendship. In advocating more ships in Pan-American trade and the open ing of new routes, the President said that if private capital cannot provide means of such communication the government must undertake to do so.
 At the conclusion, of the Presidents $ address he was applauded again. He remained in the hall while representa- tives of the different nations respond ed to his welcome.
 President Wilson spoke as follows:
 There can be no sort of union ot interest. if there is a purpose of ex- ploitation on the part of any person connected with great conference of this sort We are not, therefore trying to make use of each other, but we are trying to be of use to one
