Julius Barnes, Wheat Director.
Before Chicago Exchange.
SAYS Traders Must Not Abuse
Future Privileges.
DRAMATIC SCENE ON FLOOR
Youth of L. s. Grain Chief As
tOnisheS Traders.
Many Lost Heavily Thru His
Action ON Canadian Wheat.

Chicago. May 6.-Julius Barnes
| head of the wheat division, food ad
ministration, today served mild warn
ing on grain exchanges that their trad
| ing privileges are not to be abused.
Addressing the Chicago board of
| trade, Barnes told members the food
administration act of 1917 still is eff
| fective and that futures trading can
that such action will not be necessary
so long as traders permit the law of
| supply and demand rather than man
ufactured situations to control prices.
A conference will be called May 10
at New York between representatives
| of millers, bakers and grain trade and
others. at which certain trade agree
| ments will be entered into, Mr.. Barnes
| announced. He added that if the
| prices of flour did not sharply reflect
| the real situation in regard to sup
plies, the United States must shortly
return to the 1917 food regulations
| which allowed only thirty days sup
ply to be held on hand. He did not
want to do this however. he said.
! Dramatic Situation.
! There was a touch of the dramatic
| in the appearance of Mr.. Barnes in the
quotations room off the trading floor,
| for yesterday was not the first time
| that an utteranee of Mr.. Barnes has
upset the calculations of traders.
The crowd was bullish yesterday
| and building thereon with due consid-
| Grafton to muddy roads, rain and 9TH
| err factors making for higher prices.
| Their buying had run the price to a
| new high record for the crop when
| there came from Minneapolis Mr..
| Barnes statement that wheat was to
| be imported in moderate quantities
| from Canada. Prices dropped 10 to
IL cents and there were among Mr..
| Barnes listeners today many who lost
! money in the slump. They regarded
| hit as the one who had thrown a
| monkey wrench into the machinery,
| altho Mr.. Barnes had given ample
| warning week or so before that he
| would take just such action if specu-
lation in flour was not curbed. Many
| members Of the board present today
| knew the grain dictator personally
but to more he was a stranger. When
his tall, athletic figure appeared a
whisper went around:
why, he's young, isn't he %
Mr.. Barnes, it was admitted, is tht
biggest figure in the grain trade of TIL,
world by reason of his position and TIL,
traders noted his youngish look anC
his healthy crop of light brown hal
with surprise and interest. Before thu
government drafted him Mr.. Barne
was 3 keen trader himself and phases
of his speech indicated that he sym
pathiZed with the feelings of those VIII,

them with half the world in chaos
as he phrased it, business must be tenn
pered with sentiment To one who lik,

timent came Overwhelmingly.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for rec

Yes / looked on at a dancing party
the other night, and it was sure a
pretty sight. 1 amt never seen a
prettier lot of girls and finer lookfn
set of young fellows, all lookln so
nice in their dress suits 1t almost
made me smoker to see 'em, tho, for
seems to me that it wasn't more'n
last week sence I've known some of
'em bein' sent away from the table
to wash their hands, and they'd go
out grumbling because they couldn't
see why their mother was so par
teller. Yet here was some of these
boys lookin' for all the world as if
they'd been born wearin' dress suit.
La. these youngun just won't stand
still a moment. One day you see EN-
playin' ball in the street and havin'
to be driv' to the bathroom, and the
next, they're dom the latest dance
step in swaller tail suits, an wearin'
white kid gloves, and bendin' over
the girls. and havin' all the sangfraw
of their fathers and then some.
But this yere new dancing-it's
sure funny OF course those that
dance it like to do it or they wouldn't
| because there amt nothin' compulsory
about it. But seems to me they'd be
afeerd to do it if they had corns. But
young folks don't have such things, l
reckon.
When was a girl 1 was considered
some dancer. but then it didn't take a
mathematician to be a dancer, and /
reckon as there wouldn't be mite of
use for person that can't count
straight to try and dance nowadays.
Either that, or they've got to be phys
ical, SOS to know when you're goin'
to get turned around, or jiggle with
the left foot and then the right, be-
cause there don't seem to be no set
way to dance.
Now with the old fashioned waltz
and two step. it was different. Every
body danced alike only some danced
| better than others. Mebbe I'm sure
| enough a back number, but when my
mind goes back to the old ia shioned
stately waltz, and seems to me there
amt nothing so graceful danced now
| adays.
And they didn't hold the same way
| in the old days. The young fellers
grab a bunch of the girls back in
their hands now, and then the girls
| clutch the Teller around the neck, en-
| circling their necks with their arm:
as if they was tryin' to get away and
| had to be held by sheer strength, only
1 don't think they's a mite of danger
the other night that acted as if they
| was tryin' to make a bolt for it anC
run.
reckon if time should roll back
ward, and show them young folk;
how we ulster to dance some twenty
five years ago. they'd bust right GU
laughin' and think it was too funn,
| for words. But then styles chang
| so fast they's no tellin', mebbe tina
! same kind of smooth, gliding, grace
full, dignified dancing may come bacl
in style. and then these same youni
'uns will wonder how they could eve
have stood it to step about gingerl.
