Whcat.-Prediction made weeks ago
by shrewd and farsighted members OF
the grain trade that cash wheat IN this
market would be quoted over 81 were
realized yesterday, when the hlgnest
prices ever seen in a strictly leglti-
mate market since the Civil War were
established. 1t would be difficult if
not impossible to recall a market IN
which there was much, if any, more
feverisnness and unsettlement than
noticed yesterday, prices having huct-
uated in a most rapid and erratlc
fashion and often apparently without
valid reason.
Selling at the outset was partly
stimulated by reports of big decline
in Argentina, where prices were Az
to 612 cents down under active liquida-
ton. This was no doubt caused by
reports of light rainfall or showers in
parts of that country. Some of the
selling in this country was stimulated
largely by the assumption that the
advance had been too rapid and that
some action was in order after such
an enormous rise.
Suddenly the market turned COM
pletely, weakness being abruptly sue
ceeded by great buoyancy, prices going

MEN OF GENIUS

Napoleon, when in Egypt, just be-
bore a great battle, noticed that the
Egyptian cannon were mounted up
on wooden stands so fixed that they
could shoot only in one direction. So
that all that Napoleon-whose guns
were on wheels and could be pointed
in any direction-had to do was to
move his troops to one side and out
of the range of Egyptian guns. Men
of genius are like those Egyptians
their expressions have much more
relation to their own conditions than
to the conditions and locality of
those at whom these expressions are
directed. They shoot away, appar
emily quite careless whether they hit
anything or not. 1t is different with
practical men; lawyers wish to win
verdicts and business men want to
make money, and the pursuit of
these external objects is in their ma
lures. Besides, geniuses are too ego
tistical for general society, too keen
ly sensitive to the opinions of others
regarding themselves S. Nadal

GROWING SUSPICIOUS

There is place down Third street
where certain printers hang out
when twilight has come and the
days work is over. And there's "A
reason!
In lifting type from galley to
form, printer uses what is called a
makeup rule" 1t is a thin strip
of steel, and you can buy 'em for
about ten cents a dozen.
But the man that runs the place
where the Ben Franklin boys so has
been led to believe that this little bit
of steel is the printers badge.
Without it, the printer can't work
according to his conception. He has
been led to believe that.
So, when printer asks him for
the loan of a couple of dollars and is
willing to leave the makeup rule"
as security, the genial host readily
passes over the coin. He has a cigar
box full of the thin strips of steel at
present and is beginning to think

THE WOMAN WHO Tolls

Have you ever been in a restau-
rant toward closing time in the
evening? And have you, as you
noticed how weary the mattresses
looked, ever thought what their
work involves? Ten hours of toll I;
ten hours, almost all of which they
must be on their feet, at least half of
which is spent in rushing from one
end of the room to the other, loaded
with food and dishes. And, remem-
Der, it's ten hours, seven days a
week, month in and month out. And
have you ever wondered what such
toll will do to women, If 1t is long
continued? And has it struck you
that the next generation, and the
generation after that must pay the
price for what these women endure?
And as these thoughts have come
to you, have you felt anger towards
the employer? If so, you've been
wrong. 1t is you who are to blame,
not the employer One employer
pays what other employers pay, and
the others pay what you allow them
to pay. For, If one pays more, he
must charge you more for your food.
and If he does that, you leave and go
where it's cheaper. So, in the end,
you're to blame. You have it in your
power to change all these conditions
The enactment of an eight hour law
would stop the ten hours work;
siX-day week law would give to all
the one days rest in seven that ma
ture demands; a minimum wage law
would provide that all who work
would at least receive living wage.
and these laws will come just as soon
as you wake to their necessity-and
not before. They will work no hard !
ship upon any employer, for all will
be treated alike. You may have to
spend a few cents more each day for
your meals but won't it be worth it,
if you can feel that the girls who
serve you have a somewhat easier
life because of it? Remember, too,
that while mattresses may need these |
laws more than others, they are not |
the only ones; laundry workers,
clerks and other women workers |
need the protection of society if both |
this generation and the next are to |
be saved the blighting effects of ex-
cessive toil.-Wichita Eagle.

NEW BELGIAN POSTAGE STAMPS

The most noteworthy postage
stamps of modern times are those of
the occupation series that Germany
imposed upon conquered Belgium; a
a series that resulted in a stamp is
sue of reprisal. The Germans con-
fiscated Belgium stamps as fast as
they could find them, and sold great
quantities at a discount in Germany
and neutral countries.
No revenue accrued to the Belgian
treasury from those sales and the
Belgian government put to press a
new Belgian series. The stamps APP
peared last October, apparently
printed in London and distributed
from there The Belgian govern
ment has demOnetized the stamps
that the Germans seized.
The new Belgian stamps will be
unique in the annals of philately,
because of their historical signifi-
canoe. Seven values, from one CEN
time to twenty-five confines, of the
ordinary size, contain the portrait of
Albert. Several higher values of a
larger size reflect the coming of the
Germans. The 35-centime stamp
shows the Cloth Hall of Ypres after
the destruction wrought by the enc
