WHEAT AGAIN
MOUNTS HIGH
HENS BRINGING NINETEEN CENTS
HIGHEST RECORD EVER
KNOWN.
Eggs Up Another Cent And Demand
Is Actve-Ho9s and Cat
tie Steady.

Wheat was advanced today to the
record price of $19SA, which is the
highest price paid in generation on
q legitimate market. The increase for
the day was three and one-eighth
cents.
Locally the wheat market is without
much interest for there is compare
lively little old wheat on hand and
there will be the smallest yield this
spring that the county has ever
known.
Eggs continue to show strength.
Local dealers are paying rs cents,
with the market very active and a
further advance would not cause any
surprise.
Hens are also climbing up the lad
der of price fame, the dealers today
quoting nineteen cents, the highest
price ever paid in the history OF
Maury county.
There were no changes in the live
stock markets, both cattle and hogs
remaining steady.

member, Corporation Counsel Sam
Ettelson, who is also a state senator
and a member of the BarT-Dailey-

passage.
Mayor ThOmpsOn's new commits
siOner of public works, Frank I. Ben

and announced that he would appear
before a committee of the house and
ask for passage of the Baldwin bill
Mayor ThOmpsOn's city council
floor leader, Aid NJ. A Michaelson,
yesterday renewed his efforts for the
election of I. R. Hazen in the 33d
ward, raising the leading issue
against Aid. Robert NJ. Buck that
Buck is for an elective school board.

SENATE
of Chicago and James MUllenbach Of
the Public Education assn arrived in
Springfield yesterday to help push
the city council elective school board
bill introduced by Rep. IgOe. It pro-
vides for a board Of seven members
to be voted for by the people of Chi
cago at an election separate from all
other elections. Judd and Mullen
back believe the best correction or
the squabbling, graft and inefticiency
of the school board is to take the re-
spOnsibility for naming the school
board away from the mayor and put
it in the hands Of the voters.
Another school bill sponsored by
Rep. Mueller and by School Trustee
Ralph Otis calls for about the same
kind of a school board as we have
now except that II instead Of p
members shall be appointed by the
mayor
Mayor Thompson personally is eX-
pected to show in Springfield this
week with fatfOoted declarations for
the Mueller and the Baldwin bills.
The mayors positions is that the city
council should be trimmed of its pow
er over the school board while the
mayors power of appointing the
members of the school board should
be kept just as it is. That is, Mayor
Thompson is heartily and unTeseTv-
eddy with the Urion-Jake LOeb-Ar-
mOur-ChicagO Belt Line-Ettelson-Il-
Iinois Tunnel forces, whose slogan is
mo elective, school board"
The Day Book said yesterday Al
fred UriOn was president of the
school board when the Tribune mid
nifiht lease was put over. This was
a mistake. A. S. Trude was presi-
dent. UriOn was a member of the
board, however, and voted for the
Tribune lease by which that news

Eleven hundred acres of school
land owned by the city OF Chicago
were the issue in the Illinois state
senate yesterday when the Baldwin
bill passed by a vote of 70 to a with
a dozen senators not voting.
All power of the city council over
the selling of school land is taken
away from the city council and
placed in the hands of the board of
education, according to the main
proposition of the bill. If it gets by
the lower house then the aldermen
of Chicago elected by the people will
be powerIess in school real estate
deals and the selling of school lands
cash valuations, cash payments,
terms and specifications-wilI rest
entirely with the school board men,
9ers appointed by the mayor.
