Chicago Tribune-Stockso of wheat

partment reported that during the
first Quarter of present season from

keted 321, 900, 600 bushels compared
with 45o. 900, 900 bushels last year. "a
reduction of nearly 20 per cent. The
crop this year plus the carryover from
1919 is estimated at 79S,00O,oOO bush
els or about Ia per cent less than last
year. These figures were said to in
dicate that farm marketings during
first quarter have been relatively
smaller than in amy similar period last
year. Total supplies i'm all positions
considered. there is less wheat on hand
than last year and two years ago. 1he
big decreases are in the mill and ele-
vator stocks and at terminals. View
ed from the total supply as compared
with last year the statement is bull
ish. Considerable change has come in
the lental attitude of the grain trade
past few days owing TO agitation by
farmers dissatisfied with present low
prices. Country elevators have little
grain in which there is no loss and
bulges bring out sales by them.
The public in general is not increas-
ing it's interest on the buying side OF
grains despite the holding attitude of
the farmer.

TO LARGE CROWD
Democratic Candidate for Con-

Tazewel People.

Boiling H. Handy, Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Ninth
district, and r. Tate Irvine, of Big
Stone Gap, addressed large crowd

where large crowd turned out to
hear them Wednesday night.
The Democratic candidate served
in the war in the 8Oth division and
was commissioned Lieutenant from
one of the officers training camps,
He also had several brothers in the
service, and all made honorable rec
ords. He saw much of the slaughter
and devastation of the war, and is
doing his best to convince the voters
that the League of Nations will be
great hindrance to any future war.
Lieutenant Handy has been on a
tour of the Ninth district, speaking
to large audiences in Wise county
the first of the week, and has re-
celved many assurances of support
from Republicans who favor the
League of Nations and think it will
prevent future wars.
The speakers went to Graham last
night.

WARMING AGAINST SPREAD OF

TO Division Superintendent:
Diphtheria is more prevalent than

fresh secretion of nose and mouth of
patients (many of which nrc mild
and unrecognized) and healthy cur-
ricrs.
Please urge your teachers not to
permit common drinking cups and in
sist on children not putting fingers
or pencils to mouth and so avoil
transmission of fresh sccretions from
one child to another. If this is done,
it should rarely be necessary to close

tions will be sent to every teacher if
their names and addresses are sent

THE FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON
OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

only one man and boy to help. He
was lighting in front of big threat

him for job on the railroad. He and
the boy were left tohold the bag,
MI it, and both ends open. To say
that the farmer was mad is to state
the case mildly. He gave vent to his
pent up wrath as quoted above.
