SHORT SALES

From the grain states of the Mid
die West there comes to Congress
an insistent demand that federal leg
islation be enacted to restrict, If not
to terminate, what are called short
sales" of wheat and other grains. 1t
is asserted that the sales of grain
sometimes are MANIFOLD greater
than the actual grain in existence,
and that the short selling" of grain
tends to reduce the market price,
bringing consequent loss to the farm
er and discouragement to food pro-
duction.
There are some VINO urge prohibit
tion OF future sales" but 1t is be-
lieved by others that there is justifi-
cation for some sales Of wheat which
the seller does not possess, For ex-
ample. -four manufacturer desires
to make sales to his customers. In
order to make a price on his -four
he must know the cost of the wheat.
In order TO be REASONABLY sure as 10
the cost of the wheat he must make
contracts for delivery of wheat at his
mill. The miller makes contracts not
with the farmer direct but with the
owner of an elevator who will buy
grain from the farmers when the
grain has been threshed. The eleva.
tor man. therefore, makes a contract
with the flour miller to deliver wheat
he does not already possess. and the
miller in turn takes orders for -four
which he has not yet manufactured
and the material for which he has
not yet secured Most people recog-
nize a transaction Of this kind as per
fectly legitimate. Manufacturers OF
all kinds take orders for goods which
The state herald., 1920-12-07

they have not yet made and some
times for goods for which they have
not yet purchased the raw materials.
But the great majority OF those who
protest against short selling OF
crops are aiming their objections. at
those transactions which are pure
gambling and in which there is no
intention that there shall eyer be any
delivery of actual grain. These are
sales made principally on n margin,
the seller paying the difference in
cash IL the price of grain should go
up. 1t is apparent that the short sell
err whether he be short seller for
purely gambling purposes or for ac-
tual delivery of grain, has a selfish
interest in reducing the price of the
commodity, for II after he has con-
tarcted for the delivery of a certain
quantity he can later purchase at a
lesser price he is the gamer by the
amount of the difference.
1t is claimed that in some respects
agricultural producers are the bene-
ficiaries of advanced sales of crops
yet to be raised. Cannery.men for in
stance, contract for part of their
output in advance of the canning sea-
son. They are selling fsuit or vege.
tables which they do not possess, but
having made contracts for the deliv-
cry of their canned product they are
in a position to buy promptly from
the producers when the crop is ready
for harvest. Without these advance
sales Of the canned product there
might be no adequate market for
fresh fruit, which. would. therefore
spoil on the hands of the producer.
Because of the tremendous drop in
the market price of wheat, corn and
oats, causing enormous loss to the
producers, this whole subject of sales
of futures" is of particular interest
to farmers at this time, and 1t GER
tain that the subject will be pressed
upon the attention OF Congress with a
demand for legislation. The nature
of legislation which would be bene-
fetal to the business of the country
as a whole will therefore be extern
sively discussed not only in Washing
ton but in agricultural and trade cir
cles throughout the country.

Blazing Logs VIII RadIate Comfort
and cheer In New Swine House

Some real comforts for the hog
men, in with their charges at the
next Stock Show, are provided in the
plans for the new swine pavilion,
now building. II huge open fire
place with blazing pine logs counts
for anything, the hog owners and
their herdsmen are to have 1t, asserts
Manager Harry Youngerman.
The innovation which will provide
for a CHEEKY crate fire throughout
Stock Show week, January 1922, will
be installed In that part of the new
hog building which is to be devoted
mainly to the Judging and sale ring.
1t will erected in uscb manner to
provide heat for that particular quart
er Of the building alone and inter-
fere in no way with the mild temper
ature that is required for the swine
exhibits.
Comfortable and warm accommo-
dations for the sale ring crowd and
the hog tenders during their leisure
intervals have been the crying need
of the Stock Show equipment" said
Mr. Youngerman. 1--WE have solved
the problem, we think, by placing on
one side of the new building fire
place that will accommodate logs of
goodly length A removal canvas
partition will surround that particular
poytion of the hog building, and make
things mighty comfortable for those
who attend the sales and watch the
Judging.
Heat from the big fireplace, we
figure, will be sufficient to warm the
enclosed portions and cause no dis
comfiture for the swine in the pens.
The herdsmen, of an evening, can
toast their shins by the fire. crack
apples and swap stories to their
hearts content. And during the judg-
ing and at sale time mo one need
suffer with the cold as they did last
year"
The new hog pavilion walls are
nearly completed. The structure,
with dimensions Of 100 by 1s5 feet.
is considered ample to accommodate
the swine exhibits that are coming
to the show. The building will be
completed and the cement flooring
will be dried out by the time the ex-
hibits are here.

a LOOK INTO THE. FUTURE

Gee. they never know when they're

sister about the football team of his
rival school, "You know, Sis, we
simply wiped up the field with 'em.
They didn't make touchdown"
well. what happened after the
game?" was Ruth's question.
What happened" exclaimed Jack
in disgusted voice. That's what a
fellow gets for trying to talk football
with GIRL Haven't you heard?
They go OF the field and say that 1t
was because we had built up clever
team with hackers and spent an awful
lot of money. Then they say, look
out next year, we'll get you then
That makes me sick. Didn't they have
the same chance to build up team
and couldn't they spend just as much
money as anybody elst? But they
won't get us next year either because
we have THE team and we1l keep it
that way"
That's mighty interesting" said
Uncle Ned, as he put down his paper
and took off his glasses. 1T reminds
me of the election. Sounds just like
the democratic excuses for the re-
publican landslide. It's easy to tell
how 1t happened, but the fact remains
that that the voters wanted a repub.
lican President, republican Senate
and the House OF Representatives and
republican governors. That is the
real answer. The proof of the pud.
ding this time is the way the voters
went to the polls and cast their
votes.

CHAPTER v.

The seven days that followed were
much as the first; when the white man
was not shooting for the pot he was
away overseeing his army of laborers.
He ate but twice a day, at half past
five in the morning, and twelve hours
thereafter. To the latter meal Andrea
was invariably and formally invited.
At each successive invitation she
hesitated a little longer before accept
ing, and on the seventh night she re-
fused. Any woman can easily under
stand why, but the surprising thing
was that the man seemed to know Just
what was happening to her spirit. No
stomach living can stand pigeon four
teen days in succession, nor is there
a maid that can put on the same iden-
teal clothes for half that time without
feeling demeaned. She knew he knew.

her bluntly TO hand her lingerie to
Bathtub at night, and she had found
1t at her door in the morning, miracu-
loosely washed, dried and more or less
ironed.
There was nothing In the dawn of
the eighth morning TO indicate that it
was ushering in a day Of days, nor did
Andrea more than turn her head when
shortly after noon two bearers stag
gered into camp with steamer trunk
slung on a pole between them. There
was no reason In the world why she
should connect that trunk in any way
with herself. even when. an hour after

"And that is why I must stay" said
Andrea.

She felt definite surge Of pleasure,
out of all proportion to the occasion.
"Thank you" she whispered, and then
flushed at a sudden wonder as TO the
exact nature of feeling of gladness
over the fact that she was not called
upon then and there to decide whether
in her heart she wished to 60 or stay.
'But / can't" continued the man.

from the table that he might cross his

dropped upon his knees, head fallen
forward, sound asleep in his chair.
Andrea clasped and unclasped her
hands nervously. "Oh, why doesn't he

found Bathtub. "Wake your master"
she commanded. "Tell him to go to

The darkey grlnned up at her sleepily
until he grasped her request, then his
face took on look Of mixed fear and
mischief. "Bathtub wake Msungo one

She looked at the lax figure, bone

but even from those depths exuding
a sense Of compelling latent power,
and hesitated. Getting up her cour-

and turned his back on her.

He turned at once. a flush in his
