vance, but it could not hold and was fol- lowed by a sharp break. July closed at 2457c As a whole. the list was steady, closing IS points lower to points higher. The new crop ranged from 1 to points up. Trading was quiet during the early afternoon and the market showed no special feature with prices ruling around 24S0c for July, B 92c for october, or about p to 2S points net higher. In the last hour values broke sharply on reports or easier southern spot markets.
 With buying light during the session in the pit, corn weakened. The close was unsettled to 1isc lower. In oats nearby deliveries were strong in sympa- thy wi.h Winnipeg July was governed by corn weakness. The staple closed Ssc oq to 7sc up. Provisions had very little support, although hogs were strong. They closed l2 to S2c down.

LIGHT BUYING OF
 1 CORN YESTERDAY
As a Result, Both Corn and Oats Make Recessions on
 the Day

Chicago, May 2l-weakness' developed in the corn market today owing mainly to absence of any aggressive buying. Closing prices were unsettled. 1ssc net lower to shade advance, with May FITS and July s1421z to sl 42ss. Oats finished ssc off to 7sc up, and provisions down 12c to s2c.
 About the only demand for corn came from local traders, whereas commls- sion houses were moderately active sel- lers, and were able to force reactions after every upturn. A somewhat gen. erally accepted opinion that a week of favorable weather would result in the bulk of the planting being completed in the biga states tended to curtail pur- chases. Soaking rains which fell in Ne braska were regarded as great bene- fit, although likely to cause planting delays. On the other hand, fears of cold weather damage to the oats crop of Can ada led to the most important rally of the day in corn values. but the effect, nevertheless, on the corn market was soon over, and fresh break ensued.
 In the oats pit, nearby deliveries were strong in sympathy with advances at Winnipeg, and as a result of congestion in the May option here. July was gov erned by the weakness of corn.
 Provisions lacked support, despite strength in the hog market.

VALUE is ONLY SENTIMENTAL
Eissietoe One Of Most Greatly Al
mired OF Evergreen Plants But
Is Practically Worthless.

Perhaps none of our evergreen
plants is more loved and admired
than the mistletoe, with its modest
yellowish-green leaves and its clus-
tiers of small white berries. For CEN
turtles IL has been considered an i'm
portant feature of the Christmas dec
Grafton. Yet, in regard to the real
value OF the plant, the mistletoe Is
practically Worthless.
1t is small shrub comprising more
than four hundred known species,
mostly tropical and parasitic. In the
eastern and southern parts OF the
United States the common mistletoe
grows on various species OF decidu-
Gus trees. In Europe. 1t seems To pre-
fer the appie-tree 10 any other host.
Ii sends its roots through the bark
of the tree and draws sustenance
from the sap. However. il Is only a
partial parasite, for IL has green
leaves which enable 1t to SO some
work in making food for itself.
In some species of mistletoe the
flowers are SNOWY, while those OF
other species are more modest. The
pistils and stamens do not grow with
In the same flower, or even on the
same plant, but the pistillate flowers
grow on one plant and the staminate
on another.
The berries contain fiat seeds, sur
rounded by very sticky substance,
from which birdlime may be made.
This birdlime is spread upon places
frequented by birds, to impede their
movements and render them easily
captured. In Ii similar way IL may be
used TO snare ground-squirrels and
other small animals. This is the only
practical use that has ever been made
Of the mistletoe.
The plant grows very slowly. and
mot until IL Is four years old does
II bear Its first white. translucent Der
ries. However. IL drains the vital
juices necessary TO the growth Of the
tree, and when many lunches lind

Christmas reverses creation. One
gave rs man In the Image of God.
while the other gave Us God Ia the
image of man. The two complete the
circle Of divine love. That the gods
should come down In the likeness of
man was long recognized as a uni
versal possibility. And yet Christ
mas stands alone. II has no coun.
terpart in all the recorded manifes-
tations of deity. The story j. natural
when one recalls of whom IL was
writtse. That man like Jesus should
have entered the world ny IA special
door Is not strange. lie was different
from all others. The wine press of his
life nc one could tread hut himself
That night belongs to no calendar
The very stars wore their brightest
faces. when from before the depths
Of space God drew aside his curtains
Of richest blue. Jesus did not come
alone.
