forecasts.

Instead of backing any alleged service man that
comes along the American Legion is carefully in
vestigating all claims made for its support and
recommending action only on those cases that it
finds to be worthy.
one of the leaders of the Albuquerque post
spoke to us frankly the other day of the problems
that daily confront the Legion. He outlined the
vigorous measures that are being taken to eliminate
impostors and to discourage unwarranted frivolous
claims.
The American Legions slogan is not 'rhe
service men, right or wrong;" but 1.-THE service
man, if right; if wrong, Wei make him right"
While the Legion adheres to such standards, it
will continue to earn the respect and the confidence
of the American people.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Dec. Anxiety as to
whether European buying of wheat
in the United States has not al
ready been overdone led to q SEN
sational advance in prices today.
The market jumped up IL cents

oats &c to NC to 2Ac and pro-
visions zoe to 75c.
According to an estimate by one
of the leading firms on the board
of trade. there remains in this
country at present only sixty mil
lion bushels available for export
and for July / carryover, after al
lowing for domestic needs, where
as the usual carryover alone Is
100000 bushels. With attention
chiefly focused on this estimate. a
general stampede of the bears to
the bull side of the market began
today as soon as business opened.
Bullish sentiment was further en-
phasiZed by a report that the bulk
of the new Australian crop had
been purchased in advance and
that Argentine harvest weather
was unfavorable. Much notice was
also taken of a buy a barrel OF
flour" movement. and of the fact
that the converting of congress on
Monday would be followed by the
introduction of many bills design
ed to afford aid to farmers. Flur-
ried purchasing, lasted throughout
the day. but lessened somewhat in
the final hour.

During the long ride I had
plenty of time to think of all that

sense my feelings and kept Edith
amused continually.

Clifford never had given Mabel

marriage. In fact believed it

came to Glendale. / also told her
Just what | had said to Leonard
