CHICAGO Ang. 6.-Wheat: Foreign po-
litical situation was practically only excuse
for higher prices the cash market failed
to show any strength. There was said to
be some export buying by Germany under
cover nut in a general way the foreign bus
mess was slow. The advance in price slim
ulated offerings by the country. This mar
ket has probably had more than sufficient
advance.
y COrn-A dry map and the early political
news precipitated Il rush of buying In early
market. Former holders saw fit to accept
profits and there n reversal of senti
'ment under rumors of possible negotiations
between England and Russia. In corn as in
wheat the advance of 20 cents from recent
low points increased the country offerings
and practically killed receipts. There is
nothing in way of relief shown in Gather
map or forecast. If tomorrow's may shows
continuation of this condition there should
be som efirmness displayed in the new crop
delivery namely, the December. /
Oats-Early strength in corn was impaired
to OATS but market encountered considerable
profit Ia King, in oats in others, the new
shipping demand has been killed by the adj
vance in prices. Premiums for cash were
cnsier, light weight of No. 3 white, selling
as low as 3 cents over September. D..

First Failures Not Fatal.

How often have we heard people
say that If they had their lives to live
over again they would do very differ
emily at certain points And, though
we could see that they thought they
meant what they said, we understood
that they did not mean it very seri-
ously, and that second chance at life
would probably not yield much bet
ter result than the first one had. AS
a matter Of fact not many of us have
made such fatal mistakes In life that
we have not had hundreds of second
chances of overcoming very largely
the handicap and disadvantage that
they brought us. Indeed, the pathway
Of life for every man Of us is strewn
with second chances and new opportu-
mites. of making good. There Is this
to be said. however: second chance
may be a little harder to realize on
than first one would have been. But
to say that thing Is hard is not to
say anything about its possibility. A
first mistake or first failure may be
bad, but does not decide a life unless
we let it.-Montreal Family Herald.

Old Version of Mans Creation.

The religious customs of the AS
syrian Sumerians 5000 or more years
ago is given in the fourth volume Of
TRANSACTIONS Of tablets in the British
University museum by DR.. Stephen
LangdOn, who was for three years
curator Of the Babylon section Of the
university. The Sumerian tablets tell
OF the creation of men from clay bt
woman deity. This goddess protects
her creations from the flood by saw
ing Ziugiddu (Noah), and the latter
lands in Paradise and eats of forbid
den fruit of his own accord. There is
no Eve in this theory whatever. The
Sumerians believed that ten patriarchs
ruled some 100000 years before the
flood, that 1t was about $4,000 years
thereafter before Cyrus came down
and conquered the Kingdom. The his
torical tablets at the university mu-
scum are the most elaborate In ex-
fstence. No other records purport to
give such record Of human existence.
