HUGE LOTS CHANGE HANDS

Local traders in options on the fu-
ture market of the Omaha Grain ex-
change got their first touch OF the

white heat. 1t was estimated that
more than 100000 bushels of wheat
changed hands inside of ten minutes,
most of the trades being in 5000 and
10000 bushel lots.
1t was a wild wheat market and ii
all started on account of reports com
ing in that. continued hot weather
combined with black rust during the
last four days, had worked havoc in
the wheat fields of the Dakotas and
Minnesota. ''
On the Omaha Grain exchange the
September wheat option opened at
1914 cents per bushel, and then i
commenced to climb, going up ~
cents until $l.02B was reached. In
the meantime, the December option
that had opened at $l0lAs climbed
to Sl.O5M, and everybody was rush
ing to cover. The cash floor was de-
serted and everybody hurried to the
option pit, where the buyers and
sellers were about equally divided.

The "longs," who during the last
two or three days had been taking

POLITICAL GOSSIP PROM WASH

Washington, March 81 = Especial
Correspondence - Congressman Al
bert johnson of the Third Washington
district. has issued a statement to the
voters of his district. which rings with
patriotism. He says: 1.-THE United
States needs now and will continue to
need tariff wall, an immigration wall
and defense wall We want Meth
er commercial invasion. an immi
grant invasion nor territorial inva
sion. With prompt action now, We
need never have any one of these In
my opinion the republican party Is
NOR. likely to furnish all three oil
these necessary projections, than is
any other party. With the enactment
and continuance Of laws against these
three dangers, we may feel that the
United States will be as secure fifty
cr one hundred years from now as on
thefourth day OF March next, when we
shall have inaugurated republican
president" ;.s

"We are going to lose thousands Of

had it's effect all over the United

stirred up. What congress did in help

The bureau OF the census has issued
a bulletin showing that the beet sugar
production of this country increased
from $48, 100000 In 1909 to $62, 600, 600
in 1914. an increase Of 30 per cent in
8 years. In view OF the fact that the
beet sugar industry is still in its youth
this is an exceedingly poor showing.
There were 65 factories in 1909 and
only the same number in 1914. But
for the threatened repeal of the duty
on sugar, which was the chief encour-
agement OF the beet sugar industry,
the number OF factories should have
increased very materially, and the pro.
duction should have increased not less
than 100 per- cent If the democrats
viii give us assurance nlat the sugar
industry will have adequate protection
we shall experience an even greater
increase than that in the next fiVe
years.

A GRAND STAND PLAY.

Representative Page of the Seventh
North Carolina district has notified
his democratic constituents that he
will not be a candidate for renomina-
ton. He gives as a reason that he is
at odds with President Wilson on
questions OF foreign policy and that
he does not think he should continue
in congress under those, circumstance
es Mr.. Page has had many bouquets
thrown at him for his courageous"
stand for principle, and he has been
highly complimented for his action
when he has no opposition for renOm-
nation.
There are those, however, who will
look further for an explanation of Mr.
Pages remarkable feat of self abnega-
tion-and they will find food for re-
Election in the 1914 election returns
from Mr. Pages district. In that year
Mr.. Page received 14,7S9 votes. while
his republican opponent received H.
SG3. This year the republicans OF
North Carolina are united and ag-
gressive. There is a great anh grow.
ing sentiment in North Carolina for
protection and other republican doc.
trines-and it is altogether likely that
Mr.. Pages grand stand play has been
arranged with all these facts in view.

Gently lost a factory employing 400
workers. A democratic paper com.
mentng upon this incident says that
every man, woman or child leaving a
city for another residence decreases
tho value OF industrial sites $1,000 per
capita. This, coming from demo
cratic paper is a surprising argument
in favor Of q protective tariff law. II
the loss of a factory employing 400
workers means a. heavy loss to the
site value of city, the building up Of
American industries under the infiu.
ence of protective tariff means a
corresponding increase in the site
value of every part Of the United
States. Land values are to be main
tanned by providing protection and

temporary which is entirely in har.
mony with the republican view OF the
effect OF q protective tariff.
