DEALINGS IN CORN

CHICAGO. June So Maximum
lriccs on trading in futures OF the two
principal grain focus Of the world will
govern dealings in wheat and corn
when the Chicago board of trade opens
tomorrow after the registration holi-
day today.
For q purely preventive reason" q
maximum OF $1.65 bushel for deal
ings in corn was prescribed by direc'
tors OF the board yesterday. three
weeks after wild upturns in prices had
caused q similar action In regard to
trading in wheat futures.
The action - simply In support OF
the policy Of President Wilson and his
advisors, to prevent the price Of food
stuifs reaching an abnormally high
level" said Joseph P. Griffin. presi-
dent of the board. While govern.
ments and consumers are liberal buy.
ers OF corn for present and future de-
livery, there is no indication that this
buying has reached proportions that
might result in unduly EXCHANGING val.
ues."
July corn sold at $3.50 yesterday. an
advance Of 14c in q few days, while
September touched $1.37. Discussing
the action Of the board. traders point
cd out that with stocks abronmally
low. July shorts were In approximate
~ the same position as had been the
shorts in wheat, where stampede
would have resulted in big price ad-
vances. 1t was to forestall this. that
the board set a maximum price.

NEGRO TURNS WHITE
theirs Call Him "Hoodoo" and
Women Try to Kill Him

| Earle, Ark, March 2.-An aged
'egro, hotly pursued by three neg
esses armed with an axe handle and
5eavy sticks, dashed through the
freets here the other day. The old
)esro was handicapped by his age.
|nd the women had given him n
|bund beating before they were
Popped and arrested.
The negresses excused their at
|hck on the ground that the old man
, "hoodco," and that he has been
)racticing his sorcery on the negroes
ln' the vicinity. causing, them all
)orts of bad luck.
They loudly announced that they
will give the aged one but five days
Ec leave t,wn, under pain of further
beatinr. The negroes belief that
the old man is a "hoodoo" probably
arises from his appearance. His skin
has turned white except for a streak
about the eyes. giving him an un'
canny look.
