we want to give to everybody. We
want our homes superscrupulously tidy.
We plan festivities which require new
party clothes for the whole family,
extra special cooking and preparation
for guests.
Then we set about doing these
things. AT first it goes well and we
enthuse. The common. everyday affairs
Interfere and complicate matters.
"At the beginning of Christmas week
with many frills deleted-we find
ourselves growing tired, awfully tired.
But we see that it's impossible then to
stop and rest. That's where the strain
begins. We feel compelled TO finish
what we've started and to carry the
program through to the last item of

Unexpected demands interrupt.
Then the strain begins to tell on our

NO GREAT STORY AFTER ALL
Men of Many Medals Had Simple Elk
PLANTATION 90 Account for Pos
session of Them.

1t was gala day at the Chicago Art
institute, and party of club women
were touring the galleries. In one
room, where some dramatic marine
paintings were OIL show, the women
observed man of striking appearance
which bespoke an ever tful history. His
hair was prematUrely gray, there was
queer triangular scar over one eve,
and he wore many medals on his
breast.
He stood before a vivid canvas in
which pirates were boarding a vessel
in the Caribbean sea, and he seemed
to be measuring the work critically.
He was an artist, The onlookers were
sure But what impressed them most
was the pathetic sadness on his face
and the medals.
They forgot the pictures. This
SCARED survivor of something or
other was vastly more important than
art And the spokesman of the group.

1T HAPPENS EVERY CHRIST.
MAS

Tommy wants a pair of skates
Tommy wants them now.
Mother wants a Turkish rug,
Father wants a COW.
Dolly wants a watch and chain,
Johnny dreams of drums
Wait and see what each will get
When Merry Christmas comes.
Tommy gets a handkerchief
Possibly a book;
Mother gets a calendar,
To tell her what to cook.
Father gets a box of fudge,
Dolly gets a pin,
And Johnny gets a painted box
To keep his collars in.
So 1t happens every year
Always has, as yet;
Awful lot of things we want,
Mighty few we get.
Always happens, always will;
Don't know who's to blame
Wish you all a very merry
Christmas. just the same.

PUBLIC TREND
NEARLY HALTS
CORN TRADING
Over High Cost of Liv-
ing and Railroad Strike
Trouble Cause Inactivity.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Uncertainty
due to agitation over high cost of
living and to railroad strike
troubles has brought the corn mar
ket nearly to a halt. Business to-
day was mainly confined to pit
traders, and price changes were
narrow and erratic. Scantiness of
receipts tended somewhat to
strengthen values, especially for
the September delivery. Opening
quotations which ranged from &c
off to a like advance, with Septem
Der 1919 to 1872 and December
152 to 1.53, were followed by a
slight general decline and then by
moderate upturns to above yester-
days finish all around.
Later, the market was bearish,
affected by reports that there had
been widespread soaking rains
which were expected to improve
crop prospects. The close was I'M
settled, q c net lower to sc ad-
vance, with September at 1919 to
1917 and December at 1.52A to
1521z
In provisions, in the later trad
ing, the market underwent a ma
terial setback Buyers were hard
to find.
Oats were dull and about steady.
After opening NC decline to nc
advance, with September 75Hc. the
market sagge1 somewhat and later
scored a fair advance.
Provisions were slightly firmer
with hogs. Trading. however,
lacked volume.

On one OF the low hanging
branches was q nest OF yellowjack-
