cent. Yet the average increase in
my outgo thus far this season, over
costs four and five years ago. runs
close to $50 per cent. Probably my
condition is much like that. of other
farmers. Some may be doing trifie
better and some a trif1e worse But
Aming is pretty much of muchness,
all over, and we'd all probably line
up fairly close to that average. Just
as, an army averages about five feet
eight inches tall, though it may have
men in it six feet and others only four
feet four.
As understand II, "profiteer" is
one who takes advantage of his own
opportunity and other peoples needs
to extort. from them Undue and IN
deserved profits. Especially in times
of public stress. when the ordinary
criterions of value are deranged and
disorganized.
For that sort of ghoul we all of US
have a feeling which is not censorably
expressive in cold type. It is a feel
ing which makes even the most con-
sentative of us wonder if lynching
wouldn't sometimes be excusable
I don't care what the thing is which
man has to SELL whether it be cotton
cloth or steel nails or leather or labor
or eggs or cabbages; the man who
takes advantage of his country's dan
ger and his fellows needs to charge
exorbitant prices for his own selfish
enrichment deserves to be ostracized-
to be made a scapegoat and driven out
of decent human society into the des-
ert.
But I do not think many farmers
would be deported under any such
clause. Not that there are no sinners
in the rural districts. We have our
full share of scalawags. more's the
pity! The great majority. however
are sound at heart, and the few who
might profiteer if they got the chance
don't get it once in a dogs age!
AS rule. we're nearer the condition
Of those unhappy Israelites in. Egypt
of whom it was demanded that they
make bricks without straw, perhaps
sometimes, without even clay enough!

cLEMENCEAU WAS NORWICH
VISITOR 81 YEARS AGO

While much has been said of Pre-
mier Clemenceau's residence in this
country years ago, his marriage to a
Stamford woman and other incidents
connected with his stay, it is not gen
orally known that the distinguished
Frenchman was a visitor in Norwich
Ing 1865. He was practically in exile
when he came to the United States
the French government not caring for
the attacks he made upon it in his
newspaper and forcing him to leave,
OF course he was not SO well known
then as he is now.
In those days he met numerous
newspaper men from other countries
and entertained them at his Paris
home. He became a great friend of
the late Henry Huntington, well
known American journalist and a
brother of Monroe Huntington OF
Norwich. When C1emenceau came to
this country he carried a letter Of in

GRAIN PIT PLAYED ASEESAW CAME IN THE CORN MARKET
Oats Lost a Fraction, While Provisions Ranged From a 15c Decline to a

Chicago June 9.--It was a see-saw mar ket in corn today with price change and the volume of trading both much restric- ted by the new rule limiting to 2O0.O0C bushels the current business of any sin gle interest. The close was unsettled $s net lower to Ac advance July sl.6Sss to 1.6S& and September s16OSs to s. .60s4. oats lost Ac to Ssc. In provisions the finish ranged from 15 cents decline to a rise of 30 cents.
 Corn values at the outset and near the finish were dominated more or less by the good weather and by a correct anticipa- tion that the government report would fa- vor the bear side. During the interme- diate portions of the day, advices that the army worm was damaging wheat and oats in Texas brought about covering by shorts. However, on the bulge's realiz- ing sales by headers became somewhat enlarged and the market fell back, but any radical break was prevented by the meagerness of available stocks.
 Lack of demand from the sea board had a depressing effect on oats Exporters were offered round lots from the west but made no response worth mention
 Higher quotations on hogs gave strength to provisions as active buying on the part of stock yard houses lifted lard to a new high price record.

 New Orleans. June 9.-Strong bulges carried cotton s10 bale higher today, the contract opening at the advance and retaining the advancing tendency to the close, which was at the topmost levels, tS3 to 200 points higher than the final rrices of last week. Buying was mainly the result of unfavorable weather condi tions in the belt.
 On the opening the scattered showers over the belt were the main influence, and they stimulated much covering g among the short sellers of last week Reports from the interior said that the rains would be disastrous, coming on fields already foul with grass and weeds as the result of recent rains. Shorts were all the more confused by rumors that leading bearish traders of last week had covered their short contracts and taken a position on the long side.
 The forecast of more rain to come in. creased the demand and the large export movement for the day was also help to values For the day shipments were 37,529 bales. against none this day last year, bringing exports thus far this week up to 6469S bales, against none during tie same period last year.
