GRAIN MARKET is MARKED
BY SENSATIONAL WHIRLS

CHICAGO. April 2s. Sensational
whirls skyward have taken place this
week in the grain and provision mar
kets chiefly as result of the vanish
ing Of the bulk. of the United States
exportable wheat surplus and owing
to European demand for all the pack
ing house products obtainable. Com
pared with week ago. corn prices
this morning showed 11Hc to 16Ac
advance: oats were up lac to 4ss c,
and provisions 25c to $3.50.
Every single successive day wit
messed a breaking of all previous
high-price records for corn this sea-
son. Withdrawal of the food admin
istration as a seller of wheat was
taken as sufficient notice of the acute
scarcity of that cereal. Then the fact
that the New York harbor strike set
tlement promised to expedite greatly
the export Of foodstuffs tended fur
ther to give unusual energy to the
buying of corn. and so too did a jump
in the value Of live hogs to the top
most point ever known.
Strained political conditions a Paris
counted likewise as stimulus. The
climax was capped by news of bu-
bonfc plague at Buenos Aires and by
decision Of the supreme food council
to put all Europe back again to war
bread"
Oats sympathi1ed with corn.
Transatlantic need gave irresisti-
BILE force to the ascent of provisions.

The Hour of Fate

Victor Murdock in Association Men]
What is the hour of fate in a
young mans life? I should say
Z p. m.
That hour is the springboard from
which most men leap to success or
fall off to failure.
1 am also convinced that 7 D. m.
is the fork in the roads, one of which
leads to character and the other to
the lack of it.
There are twenty-three other
hours in a day, but there is no hour
SO potent as this p. m.
Why? This is the answer: a
mans waking hours are divided be-
tween industry and leisure. To a
majority of mankind, in the even
ing marks the end of work and the
beginning of leisure. 1t is the hour
when a man makes choice of the
kind of leisure he is to have. If he
turns to the leisure that means i'm
provement to his mind, his body and
his soul, he wins; If he turns to the
pleasure feeding frivolities, he loses.
1t is q cold blooded proposition, but
it is true. Genius is SO per cent.
hard work and the best of leisure is
shift from one kind of work to
another kind of work. Ninety-nine
out of every hundred men who win
in this world use the time, when
they are not at work, in activities
which look like work to the loafer.

Keepers" to quote Napoleon's his
toric phrase, adopts such drastic
regulatory legislation, what may
we expect, what may we not ex-
pect, here, now that the public have
started in earnest to wage war
against the business community be-
cause of the rapacity ruthlessly
practiced during and even more es-
pecially since the war? The ac-
claim with which the announcement
that the Government would sell to
consumers surplus war supplies was
received. coupled with the extraor-
binary stampede by the public to
purchase the goods, reveals how
keenly the people feel about this
whole question of living costs and
profiteering. The truth is that the
temper of the public is ugly. very
ugly. The reforms demanded may
lead to something more than cor
rective measures; vengeance may be
demanded. The sins of the prof.
teers are likely to be visited upon
not only the guilty profiteer, but

Less Efficiency

[From the st. Paul Pioneer-Press1
Some Boston authority, eminent
no doubt, but lost to memory at the
moment, issued a statement which,
dealing with labor production, took
the ground that efficiency, after all,
was the only accurate measure and
wages were negligible. If wages.
for example, increased 80 per cent.
and efficiency increased SO per
cent, the situation was vastly inn
proved. This is automatic, of course.
Then the authority went on to as
sert, rather than to prove, that
labor efficiency had enormously in
creased since the beginning of the
war and there was nothing but op-
timism to be spread out for our de-
lectation.
Unfortunately the facts are not
all in corroboration of the efficiency
assertion. In the steel industry,
commonly said to be the barometer
of all industry, the reverse has been
asserted. Reports by the several
steel concerns, show that since the
beginning of the war steel wages
have advanced an average of ITO
per cent. and at the same time eff
ficiency has decreased an average
of 20 per cent. If this Is true, the
labor cost of the average ton of
steel produced has increased ap-
proximately 225 per cent.
The books of the steel corpora
ton show that in 1902 it paid an av-
erage wage of $717 per man, or
S14.70 per ton of steel produced;
while in 1918 this average wage had
increased to S1,6S5 and to $32.6S
per ton of steel. The figures indi-
cate a distinct lessening of labor
efficiency at time when increased
production is acknowledged to be
the worlds greatest necessity.

DR.. Finegan's Going a Loss
BRIGGS
[Schenectady Union-Star.l

It Is not probable that the gen.
erality of citizens of New York
state realize that the vast public
service that DR.. Thomas E. Finegan
has rendered public education and
the magnitude of the loss in his de-
parture. He left this week the Of
fee of deputy commissioner Of ed
ucation at Albany to become head
of the school system of Pennsyl-
vania.
The Keystone state pays a COM
pliment to the Empire state in
selecting DR.. Finegan to reorganize
the school system in the land OF
William Penn.
For twenty-seven years Mr.. Fine
gan-he wasn't Doctor Ffnegan al
ways-was connected with the Of
flee of public education at Albany.
without detailed information, it is
impossible to assess here the exact
value of the work of this one man.
A natural teacher. Mr.. Finegan led
in changing and advancing methods
of public education. A master OF
detail, he has been charged with
infinite toll in adapting new ideas
to the practical, everyday needs of
the SCHOOLS. An lnVeteraJe, IN
satiable worker, he has been bus
led day and night, and the results
are seen in a system of public
schools, probably the best In the
Union.
The highly complex job that has
been his lot you may understand
when you step from one of those
immense public schools in the me-
tropolis, a city in itself, where hun
dreds of children from the homes
of those born under other flags are
made into good Americans-steI
from one of those schools to little
district schoolhouse back on the
, hills, where in one room four OIL
five generations of native-borr
Americans have been trained. Dis.
similar as they are, both these
schools do their parts in the day,
work largely because DR.. Finegar
co-ordinated them.
The schools of the Empire state
doubtless are a long way from wha'
they ought to be; but they are vast.
ly nearer their ideal than they were

Montgomery county got the idea
that he'd like to be a school teacher
and help along education.

Irish Bdlk on Prince
[From the New York World.


When His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales visits New York he
will be the guest of the city only
in a manner of speaking, unless many
of the aldermen change their minds,
which does not seem probable.
There is firm determination among
these aldermen that no city money
shall be appropriated for the recep-
ton of the royal visitor.
Something resembling an alder
manic strike threatened the other
day because Mayor Hylan in his let
ter explaining the need of funds for
entertaining General Pershing spoke
of other distinguished visitors who
are to come here shortly, including
the prince. Several aldermen of
Irish extraction debated long in the
corridors of city hall before they
would attend the special meeting at
which $4,000 was appropriated for
the Pershing celebration.
In the meeting itself an alder
man interjected a remark about the
Prince or Wales and another across
the room answered: THAT won't
get my vote" A little later Alder
man Falconer, Republican, asked
President Moran if any part of the
SlO,OOO was TO be spent on the re-
ception of the prince. Mr.. Moran
replied somewhat emphatically in
the negative.
Later Mr.. Moran issued a state
ment explaining that. the appropria-
ton was made to enable the citi-
zens to express their appreciation
of the work done by American sol
diers and added:
THE entertainment of foreign
guests on visits of a friendly nature
during peace should be betrayed by
private subscription and not from
the pockets of the taxpayers"

Autumn

Do you remember, sweetheart, how
along this woodland path,
We walked last June, when every
thing was green?
The flowers bloomed around us, and
our hearts with beauty
thrilled,
For a glorious summer bounty
filled the scene.
But here to-day we wander midst a
very different world
We cannot recognize our path at
all;
The changing leaves. the stalks, the
pods, the fruit the berries
red
Our very souls with rapture view
the fall.
And where was all this glory when
we walked the path last spring
Deep hidden in the green and in
the flower.
And so in lives about us, people
whom we daily meet
Their souls arise to greatness for
the hour.
