BURGLAR CAUGHT AT HIGHLAND

The highland Press Of last week re-
ports thrilling experience that John
Rosenaw had with burglars on the Sat
urday evening previous. Mr. Rosenaw
had retired early while the rest of the
family had gone out to spend the even
ing. He heard footsteps down stairs
but believing it to be his family return
ed, did not pay any attention to it.
However, when the intruders came up
stairs and did not turn on any lights he
suspected something and arose. He
went into the room where the noise was
and was met at the door by two men;
one man swept past him but he sue
ceeded in grabbing the other by the
neck but was unable to hold him
However he recognized the intruders
and on Monday morning had warrants
issued for their arrest. William Baker
was apprehended and taken to the
county Jail and on Wednesday pleaded
guilty to the charge Of burglary and
was sentenced to Waupun for three
years. The other burglar Herbert Null
downey escaped and up to this time has
not been located.

said Peter, 81 haven't had meeting of
the Gnomes' club of late. And in
case there are any new ones here
among US who haven't joined, let me
explain the rules and regulations of
the club.
'It is called 'The-Every-Day-Is-Ni Nice
club That means that all our mem
bers promise not to complain about
the weather but to enjoy every day as
it comes. We make the most Of every
kind of a day, and we find, after be-
coming good and faithful members of
the club, that we are much happier all
the time.

most assuredly we have all kinds"
''We do, indeed" said Billie Brownie.
"We enjoy the snow, the rain, the sun
shine, the windy and the quiet days.
We have parties On all sorts of days,
Of all sorts of interesting varieties.
It's made us think Of a great many
more games and trips"
All the ones who did not already be-
long joined the club and they were
given the badges the members wore
with the motto of the club on every
one.
"And now," said Peter Gnome, "tO
show that we are true members, we
must have party today"
"We've always loved this sort of a
day." said the Brownies.
eyes, I remember years ago." said
Peter Gnome, chat Billie Brownie was
the first one to give slush party.
For that is what we are going to have,
there is wonderful slush today. It's
glorious! Fine!"
''What is a slush party?" asked the
new members.
"Ah, there are many kinds of slush
parties" said Peter Gnome. "Just
wait and see. Well have one this
afternoon. In the meantime everyone
must go and take out his high rubber
boots and rubber SUITS"
It was not long before all the brown
les and gnomes appeared in rubber
suits, rubber hats and tall rubber
boots. They looked somewhat like
firemen, except the brownies seemed
fatter than ever, and they kept fall
ing down all the time. They could
never have run up ladders, but then
they didn't have any. They were
brownies and not fremen, even if their
costumes were little bit alike.
Lets build fine slush CASTLE" sug-
gested Billie Brownie. And they all
set to work.
Out Of the wet snow they made the
most wonderful of castles. The snow
stuck together so beautifully wherever
they wanted to put it. They made tur-
rets and towers, bridges and deep
chasmS.
And they made kings and queens and
princes and princesses. They had the
most beautiful time, and the new mem
bers of the club said
"What a wonderful idea to enjoy
every day. There is always something
to do"

as we have the right things to wear

New York, May S-The feature in the

The trade was still talking a bearish weekly review, but there was some cover- ling in advance of its publication, and the report when issued placed more emphasis upon the unfavorable conditions during

Many traders considered it quite as bullish as the preceding week ly statement, while covering was also promoted by bullish southern spot ad- vices Trading was not active enough to suggest that these features were ere ating any general demand for long ac- count, but there was a little trade buy ing on the advance, which carried Oc- tober up from 24 42c to 9 csc. and Decem- Der from 24 40c to 24 95c, or B to 40 points higher.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May S.-Higher price levels resulted in cotton here today from poor crop accounts from the government, although around the opening the bear element was encouraged to undertake ex- tensive selling operations on the good showing made by the weather map This selling sent values 27 to 31 points under yesterdays close. From the posting of the weekly reports, there was a rise to a level of 2 to 47 points over yesterdays S finals. the highest prices being reached late in the day. Right on the close there was a burst of profit taking by early buyers and the gain was pared down, last prices showing net advances of to r points.
 Warm and dry weather over the belt and the forecast, pointing to little change in the favorable conditions, made it ap- pear at the start that any unfavorab ble features in the weekly crop accounts would be offset, but the weekly returns were so much worse than anticipated that the advantage was entirely with the long side. The buying on this basis per- sisted we'll into the afternoon. Favorable spot reports from the interior also helped the market.

LARGE WHEAT CROP
 CAUSES CORN DROP
Oats and Provisions Both Showed Good Gains on
 the Days Trading

Chicago May S.-Correct anticipations that the government crop report, while indicating one of the three largest wheat crops ever grown, would not prove alto- gether as bearish as had recently been looked for, had a good deal to do today with rallying the corn market from tenn porary sharp declines. Prices closed un- settled Ac to lsc advance, with May $l. l.27! and $l.46 to $1. 46ls for July Oats gained 3sc to 1c net advance and provisions 17c to SIC,
 Inasmuch as private estimates within the last week have placed the prospective winter wheat crop at 600 0o0, ,00g bushels to $50, ,000,0 900 bushels, the official figures in- dicating a total of about 573, 3,O0O, 900 bush els, were not up to expectations, although decidedly better than the average. Pros poets of unreasonable low temperatures by Friday or Saturday tended also to handicap the corn bears. During the first part of the day, however, bulls were at a disadvantage owing to government fig ures showing that commercial stocks of corn were much larger than year ago. The fact that the weather had con- pastures counted too, as a temporary bearish factor
 Oats responded to the same influences that governed corn.
 Good-sized government orders and hogs at the topmost figures of the year strengthened provisions.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S. Letter

New York, May 8-(SpeciaI)-A much steadier tone in very quiet market,
 closing some 10 points higher after er-
 ratio fluctuations on moderate transac- tons. One of the local traders bought quite freely during the morning.
 The weekly weather report was not quite as good as expected and the trade has been interested in an upward reac- tion for several days. N this condition continues, outside buyers are apt to delay investing in citton. The differ ences between the grades in this market are established by the United States fu- lures law, based upon the averages of certain southern markets selected by the government. We think the market will be controlled by the conditions affecting the growing crop.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
