CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO July Shack rust re-
ports from Ypsilanti, y. d.. brought
about q sensational advance today in
the price If wheat. The rise from
the lowest quotations of the session
amounted to cents a bGshel. The
close, however. was unsettled at gains
of 2 Y f03c to 3lsc net, with July al
.Sl0gz5 and September at s1.09@ls
Corn finished z to &c up. Oats un-
changed to re higher. and provisions
varying from the same as yester-
days finish L. a raise of 20 cents.
Prior to the alarming news from
North Dakota indicating the posi-
bility of huge damage to the spring
crop. wheat prices seemed during the
carly part Of the day TO act on the
whole in favor of the bears. Indeed,
the ruling influence was a report that
the surplus moisture in the north
west was disappearing fast and that
prospects there were encouraging for
a big yield.
Corn bulged when wheat turned
strong. Oats reflected the course %
other cereals.
Higher prices on hogs carried pro-
visions Up grade. Selling which wild
ened out on the advance appeared to
come chiefly from one of the big

The market is overbought and stale
in the industrials and it looks as though
it will have to have a big shake-up
before any buying comes in. The after
math of an ill-advised speculation such
as we had in the war stocks always
results in stocks selling as much too
low as they sold too high. Good stocks
hold and we believe will be higher
when loans are reduced as they will
have to be by a thorough cleaning up

Ole RIKER TRUCK
Manufa ctured by
The Locomobile Company of America
What Would You Do?

What would you have the av-
erage business man do?
Here he has been caught be-
tween two radically different
factors in the motor truck Situa-
tion-engineering practice, which
is largely theory; and modern
craftsmanship, very concrete
and definite force,
He has done the best he could.
He has bought on the strength
of craftsmanship, and trusted to
time to prove out the engineering
theory.
He has been disappointed, but
not discouraged.
He has not even blamed the
salesman who sold him POSSIBLE
ties in place of actualities- be-
cause he knew that somewhere,
sometime, perhaps tomorrow,
there would be a man to measure
up to the job.

The time and the need produce
the man.
Nineteen months Of war have
put the motor truck to a test that
would have taken a generation Of
peace service.
One engineer at least has
learned the lesson-A. L. Riker,
designer of the Riker Motor
Truck, tested in war service on all
fronts, and as it stands today
largely developed from the les
sons of the war.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1916-07-09

Now see how MIR. Riker's en-
cheering skill has provided for
the strains imposed on a motor
truck taught by the lessons of
the war and by deep study OF
transportation conditions in mod
ern industry.
The Riker frame dimensions
exceed common practice.
The design and construction
relieve the springs of all driving
and torque reactions. I h
springs act only as springs, are
more flexible, reduce vibration
and wear.
The transmission gears are eX-
ira wide and extra large.
The bearings are the highest
grade obtainable.
The propeller shaft is large and
has a center bearing, eliminating
shaft vibration and breakage.
The driving aXles are very
large.
The center housing of the rear
axle is massive.
The springs are mounted on
spring chairs, free to turn on the
axle.

The Riker Truck is the best
built truck in America.

It is designed by the foremost
automobile designer of this coun-
try-A. L. Riker, Vice President
and Chief Engineer of the Loco

first President of the Society Of
Automobile Engineers, Chair
man Of the Committee on Intern
al Combustion Motors, and mem
Der of the United States Naval

It is made by the Locomobile

second to none in the automobile

The first cost Of the Riker
Truck is about the same as that
of other trucks of same rated ca
pacity- some trucks cost less,
others more.
Where the saving in the Riker
Truck comes in, is in lower up
keep cost, less depreciation, the
saving Of gasoline, the saving Of
tires.

lNCURABLE DEFECT IN BRAIN
Color Blindness Cannot Be over.
Come, Though Word.6lindness
May Be Alleviated.

Two defects In regard to sight
word.blindness and color-blindness-
are described by an English writer.
He points out that they are not de-
fects of the eyes at all, but are really
mental defects, and, curiously enough,
are found very often In clever men,
the discoverer of the defect--Dalton,
the great notwithstanding himself
color-blnd.
Color-blndness occurs In about
three to four per cent of males and In
a smaller number of females. 1t Is
frequently hereditary, but, strangely
enough, though the males suffer from
the defect, the females carry 1t on.
Color-bindness is defect In the
registering apparatus In the brain and
Is incurable. 1t Is OF Importance to
recognize the defect early, and to turn
the attention of the sufferer to work
in which this defect Will not be han
dicap. Such children should learn
early that there Is no work for them
on the railway.
Word-blndness Is q much more Sc
rious defect, and may be the cause of
the difficulty some children find In
learning To read. They see correctly.
Tested with figures or pictures. they
may pass the standard, but the let
tiers OF the alphabet, when strung to-
gether to form words, convey no mean
Ing to them. The effect is due to Il
want of association of the brain CEN
ters. The defect is usually mistaken
mt first to indicate defective eyesight,
but this is not so. 1t is noteworthy
that these same children may show
considerable ease In reading figures.
even money sums. To teach these
children to read, words must not be
taken letter by letter, but as u whole.
the word "cat" must be taken not as
"c-a-t,' equals cat, but the whole
thing must be the sign for cat. The
method Is known as the look and say
plan, and by Its aid 1t is possible TO
teach the child to read.

The People Pay.

The people of the United States are
paying war prices for great many ar
ticles of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having prac-
teal demonstration at so much per of
the democratic free trade idea. The
idea Is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. 1t may have worked
In the old days, but 1t doesn't work
now, because all the cheap sources OF
supply are closed. If the old Repub-
lican idea of protecting industry in our
own country had been followed con-
slstently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy in the production Of all these
things, and our people would be able
to purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake of abandoning
the theory of protection Is costing the
people of this country more than 1t
costs any European nation to do Its
part In the war.--Yakima Republic.
