Corn Prices Drop

price Of corn resulted to-day from
The rovernrr+~t cron renort which
owed a yield LARGELY in excess of

-,esip was also current Of a liteli-
hood of federal efforts to bring about
a lower ratio in TIE value both OF
ho"s and corn. ENLARGED offerinos of
old corn from rural holders tended
further to weaken the market. Open-
inr quotations which ran~ed from

for December and 1.15 to lis IA for
May, were followed by moderate adj
ditioral decline.
British constructions placed on the
government report as to oats gave
relative firmness to that cereal.
Stoppaee of speculation in cotton
seed oil had a weakening effect on
provisions. Talk of government moves
to reduce ho~ prices to 10 hundred
pounds formed another stimulus to
selling.

He said other things, too, but Blake
kept them locked in his brest.
Under this strain he labored unceas-
ingly upon is novel, and with thump-
ing heart sent it away to the publishers.
They talked of this work that even

hurried.
There is something greater than
that, Greg" she answered, her voice
half serious, half testing.
Greater than my love for your" he
She nodded. "You're a public man
now, dear. Your duty to your friends
should tower above all else!" She took
his face between her palms and stared
deep, deep into his questioning eyes.
My man could never do any wrong,
could he.
Never" he laughed, crossing his
heart, boy-fashioned. Especially
when such a dear little wife believes in
him!"
In the quiet, sumptous Office of the
Midtown Gas and Electric Company
two men were in deep conversation.
One of them, Mr.. Hall, president, a
short. gray-haired, snapping-eyed old
man, held typewriter list before him.
The other, younger, very immaculate
In his dress, sat opposite, smoking
cigar.
This is the complete roster of the
new council, eh?" the president was
saying, How're you sized them up,
Davis?"
Davis, the company's attorney, took
the paper from his superior, placed it
before him on the low table and as he
mentioned each name checked it off with
with a white forefnger-
There's Harvey, Griggs, Dudley,
Smith, Conway and Nelson-alI our

never admitted himself defeated He
had been the one port in the storm, and
at the present time the greatest kind of
a storm threatened the Midtown Gas
and Electric Comapny A new, indie
pendent company, backed by some of
the towns oldest citizens, had asked for
a franchise; against this the old company
was fighting for a twenty-year renewal.
Either one or the other must back
down.
Suddenly Davis stood still and set
his teeth so hard together that the
cigar was severed and dropped unheed-
ed to the floor
g By heavensl'' he broke out why
haven't l thought of it before? I've got
it Blake will come over on our side,
Mr.. Hall"
a broad smile lighted up the presi-
dents face.
THAT'S good Thought you'd rake
up somethingl Let's hear the plan.
But Davis only put out hand. 1--WE
never fallen down on a thing yet, have
I? Always carried a thing straight
through to the end when 1 said l would,

The president agreed that this was so.
"Then trust mel I'll call on Blake
tomorrow afternoon. When I'm
through with him I'll see you. So
don't worry. Blake's- our man, and as
he's the seventh, our renewal is as
good as wont"
Gregory Blake was plainly surprised
to have call upon him, the following
afternoon, the well-known attorney
for the Midtown Gas and Electric
Company. After they were seated in
study and Davis had offered cigars the
conversation was opened Immediately.
As a member of the new city council
Mr.. Blake, Davis began, 81 trust
that you are looking upon all the mat
tiers that are to be decided upon by the
board In fair and unprejudiced light"
am making every effort to, yes
"Quite right A man in public life
and holding so much power must not
only look upon the surface of things
but must delve deep into the very heart,
as 1t were. Also he must weigh both
sides in the balance" He cleared his
throat.
81 believe you are IN favor of grant
ing this new company their franchise
In the place of renewing ours, am I
not correct?" he continued bluntly.
Blake nodded. q am but the mouth

rehectively

youthful fancies, his immature reason
lngs scampered away. 1t was as if
for the first time, he had gained a peep
into a higher world-a mans world.
He began to realize that life held a
great many weighty problems. A body
of people, friends and neighbors among
them, had made him their mouthpiece,
and they were going to trust In him.
When the well-wishers had gone, and
those who so eagerly congratulated
him, had grasped his hand for the last
time, Blake turned from the door and
held out his arms towards his wife.
Pm really elected, Majorie," he
faltered. Really elected! Why-why
1t doesn't seem reali"
They've so much confidence in you,
dear" she answered him, her eyes
shining, her lips tremulous. "They
know they can trust you. This new
council IS going to mean so much, so
very much, for our town.
Yes" he went on, 1--WE never
known the people to be so interested
before. What responsibility rests upon
my shouldersl Why, it almost awes
me, Marjorie. II do so much want to
of his choicei I want to gain their
respect-prove to them I am worthy of
this trust!''
And you're going to, Gregl"
He held her close besides him as if
to gain strength from her slim, tremul-
Gus little body. "Of course l am" he
repeated.
And, Greg" she went on, "think
how that twelve hundred a year is
going to help u.s. You can be more
Independent now, can't you? And if
those horrid editors don't offer you
enough for story you can ask to have
it sent back"
He laughed, but caught himself, mid
way. "f-Only you were well and
strong, he began, softly.
There, there, Greg, she pouted-
"That old doctor has set you worrying,
hasn't he? I'm never, never going to
allow him in the house againl"
Yes, dear, but he said you"
She clapped a quick hand across his
'You must not talk about me an
ideal And on the very day you have
been elected councilman, tool"
They went arm in arm into the little
den-he loved to call it his study-and
for long, long time they talked and
planned and built glorious castles, as
men and women always do and always
will, more so when under the enehant-
ment of a yet undimmed honeymoon.
Gregory Blake had, from the very
short stories nearly all sold, and at
gradually increasing prices; and during
the past six months he had completed
his first real serious effort-a novel.
Still, human brain is an elusive thing
at the best, and a typewriter an un-
reliable breadwinner-in comparison
with a trowel or pickaxe@ despite
his frequent acceptances, editors checks
had q mysterious way of being withheld
at critical moments Blake had yet to
learn-as all do who tread this path
that the way Of an editor passeth I'M
derStanding
Therefore the realization of this
hundred dollars a month meant ever
thing to him.
The one blight In their first year of
married life had been Majorie's illness.
Pneumonia came, and after the strug-
gle the color slipped slowly away from
her rounded cheeks, her eyes grew big
and hard, and tiny pools of gray shadow
crept beneath them
Blake watched this gradual change
for months before he called the doctor.

half of the council There are six op-
posed to us. Hamilton, Fisher and
Maekey are wealthy men and money is
of no consequence to them. Miller Is
interested heavily in the new light and
power company, SO he can't be touched,
OF course. Reese is personal enemy of
yours, SO that lets him outl"
Hall, the president, listened narrowly.
Well, that is five. Who is the other
one?"
Davis moved his finger down the
list. Gregory BlakeI Young man,
too, living In my neighborhood. Mag
azine writer, married, owns his home,
out is a straightforward and honest
chap"
The president looked out of the low
window into the chill of a December
afternoon. "He's our last hope,
Davis There isn't another one we
can approach. You say he's young
and Just married."
:. Married about a year, I guess"
"a thousand dollars ght to look
pretty good to him, don't you Think"
Possibly" The lawyers voice was
not very enthusiastic. But this IS
his first political position and, of
course, he Is bound to be moved by his
friends advice. Duty and all that
sort of stuff, don't you know? Every
one of them are dead against us, tool"
The renewal of our franchise will
mean considerably over a million for
us, Davis" Hall went on. We can't
afford to allow one man to stand in our
way. One man, understand that, Davis.
Seems as if everything is going to rest
on him. We've six men certain-and
we've got to get the seventh There
are no ifs or butts or maybes about it.
We have got to have himi -. Offer
him FIVE thousand CASH."
Still Davis remained dubious.
81 might try it, but"
The president flung out his hands with
a gesture of annoyance. Good heavens,
FIVE thousand cash ought to be gold
mine to a councilman with twelve
hundred dollar salary" he broke out.
1--WE found In my career, that q little
cash Is the open sesame to about every
door. What's your opinion"
Mines the same, of course, Davis
instantly. agreed But I've been
watching this Blake ever since his
nomination and haven't so far found
a likely loophole. "
You've got around greater obstacles
than this, Davis" the president came
back sharply. That's why we've been
glad to pay you your ten thousand
a yearl You can't fall back on us at
this critical timel"

time with them. To.sthe southern In
dams, the Spaniard and his successor
the Spanish-speaking Mexican, is the
cruel alien cOnqueror. They feel that
they are Indians and. that Mexico Is
an Indian country. For instance, one
of the common objections to Maderc
encountered in Oaxaca was that he
was not an Indian and that the presi-
dent of Mexico should be an Indian.
This attitude is significant, and 1t is
not strange to find even q northern
Indian like Huerta proudly exclaim-
ing: "Yo so indiana" Carranza's lack
of popularity in the south is not SC
much due to the fact that southern
Mexico is the home Of Diaz as to the
fact that CarranZa is not an Indian.
