Masonic Temple: Phone 1881
Chicago, Aug. 27.-Corn-Trading in
corn for December and May delivery is
always precartous at this tine of the
year. A very unusual factor ia injected
into the situation this season in the
extreme high prices prevailing for old
corn. Ordinarily, with the crop pros
pect as It Is and the acreage so large,
even tho It Is two or three weeks late
in some sections prevailing prices
would seem very high. The bear is,
therefore, coming to grief because he
sells too literally on breaks and there
has seldom been a time when bears
have been SO enthusiasts.
Oat-The movement OF new oats is
not In proportion to size OF the crop.
The principal reasons ,or this delay
are the scarcity OF cars, the holding
disposition Of farmers who are binning
what they have threshed and stacking
in a large way and the fact that coun-
try elevators are, in many cases filed
with oats bought before the break. The
movement Of troops and supplies will
occupy SO much Of the rolling stock
Of the railroads that it is hardly likely
that a burdensome run OF oats will
occur until after the September de-
livery is out OF the way.

wild Animals. Fear Acquired.

The fear which all Wild animals
have for man is an acquired charac-
teristic. This is amply shown by the
fact that in the far wilds Of the Cana
dian Rockies, where a man is seldom
seen. the grouse are so tame that they
may be killed with clubs. As William
T. Hornaday says, these untutored
birds seem to have but two ideas-to
feed on the ground and fly into low
tree II frightened A bird with only
two ideas is not long for this world,
and the fool hen that loiters along q
trail usually finds her way into ny
ing pan. Yet this bird IL the western
prototype Of the wary ruled grouse
Of New England. and old chronicles
show that shy bird was once 50 tame
tshaa: It could be caught with a horse
hair loop on the end Of a long stick.

One Foot Walk. Faster Than Other

You may think 1t is silly to ask
which foot walks faster, but 1t isn't
II you win take q pavement that Is
clear and walk briskly in the center,
you will find, before you have gone
80 yards, that you have veered to one
side.' You must not make an effort to
keep in the center, but If you will
think Of something, and endeavor to
walk naturally, you will not be able
to keep in q direct line. II you lose
yourself on an e1panse Of black moor
land and walk on, you will describe
a complete circle. The explanation
lies in the propensity Of one foot to
walk faster than the other, or take. q
longer stride than the other, causing
you to walk to one side. To make as
surance doubly sure, try placing two
sticks about eight feet apart, then
stand of about sixty feet, blindfold
yourself. and endeavor to walk be.
tween them.

HERE'S SWEET NEWS.
Action Of Sugar Producers Will Put
Lid on Speculation.

Washington. Aug 27.-Beet sugar
producers OF the country have agreed
with the food administration to limit
the price Of their sugar to basis
which should result in a reduction Of
about ~ cents a pound from the pre-
sent price, effecting a saving OF $780,
100000 to the consuming public be-
tween now and the first Of next year
Cooperating In the effort in order
that sugar can reach the dealer with
out intermediate speculative profits,
wholesale grocers have agreed to limit
distribution charges for the direct pur-
pose Of curbing exorbitant profits.
Owing to the holders Of the re-
mainder of the Cuban crop asking ex-
orbitant prices for their sugar" the
food administration announces, "the
price has advanced durins>the last few
weeks by over IL cents per pound. The
new Cuban crop will not be available
until the latter part of December, and
II this high price Is to continue until
that time the American people will
have paid About s30.o0o,0oo more for
their sugar than otherwise would have
been the case. The beet sugar produc-
come into the market during the
month OF September and should fur
nish the bulk OF supplies between then
and the first Of next year. when the
Cuban crop will be available.
Representatives of the beet sugar
producers controlling so per cent of the
industry who were in Washington the
past week, pledged themselves to Sc
cure the active cooperation of the 9TH
er 20 per cent and have every reason
to believe that the action of the indus
try will be unanimous.
It is agreed that this patriotic action
Of the domestic beet sugar industry will
not only make the saving mentioned
above between now and the end Of the
year, but will contribute largely to
establish a lower price for imported
sugar thruout next year.
In order that sugar may reach the
dealer without intermediate speculative
profits between the producer and the
retailer, the wholesale grocers Of Amer
lea have voluntarily agreed with the
food administration to limit distrihl
ton charges in such a manner as to
eliminate the possibility of ,specula-
tive or exorbitant profits. and the food
administration will he able at late,
date to announce the price at which
wholesale sugar should be delivered
to the large consuming centers of the
country.
1t is desirable for the public to bear
in mind, the food administration points
out that in order for the allies to BIZ
supplied with suger from the West In
dies e place CT their usual source o.
supply, which is now cut off. the public
must reduce its consumption Of sugar
by every means possible. That there
is room for this without hardship mus
be evident when it Is considered tha
the average American consumption i.
about IS pounds per person per annum
whereas the new sugar regulations IL
England limit the consumption to 2.
