CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Dec. Wheat under
went a sharp decline in price to-
day, owing largely to an apparent
halt in export business and to mis-
givings about the banking situa-
ton on the northwest. Closing
quotations were heavy, nc to SC
net lower. with December $40
and March S1.67A to $1.67%
Corn lost &c to 81 C and oats &c
to Ac. In provisions the outcome
varied from Acc decline to 12c ad-
vance.
Refusal of exporters to follow
the recent upturn In wheat prices
gave decided advantage to bears
throughout the day. Selling was
active from the start and was said
to come in a considerable degree
from foreign interests. Part of the
selling was ascribed to the uncon-
firmed gossip that officials of the
Canadian government had COM
pleted arrangements with Mime
apolis mills to devote 5000 cars to
the hauling of wheat from Cana
dian terminals to Minneapolis dur
ing the winter. On the other hand
knowledge of additional bank fail
ures in North Dakota, including
one federal reserve institution,
was positive and did good deal
to deprive the market of support
except from shorts who were in a
position to collect profits.
Corn and oats declined with
wheat. Besides. enlarged requests
for cars were generally taken to
indicate more liberal receipts of
corn here soon.
Weakness or grain and hogs
made provisions average lower.
Packers were sellers of ribs.

"Hayl Hay! Hay" shrieked the
bluejay, for he had very LOUD
voice. Then he darted off, far
enough away so he would not
awaken Baby Bunty, who soon
awakened of her own accord.
ooh, Uncle Wiggily, did you
bring my feather?" she asked.
Well" began the bunny slowly
and he was just going to say he
had not found one, when looking
down on the ground he saw a
lovely blue feather. Uncle Wig
gily picked up this feather and
held it out.
ooh, how lovelyl" cried Baby
Bunty. "A blue one! 1t will just
match my hat. Where did you get

"I-er-that blue feather-well,
now-the bluejay bird just dropped
it for you" said Uncle Wiggily,
looking at Nurse Jane in a funny
way and twinkling his pink nose.
ooh, how glad / am! Thank you,
Mr.. Blue Jay, and you, too, Uncle
Wiggily!" laughed Baby Bunty.
And then Nurse Jane threw out
some bread crumbs in case the
Jay should come back, which he
did.

shall find a feather somewhere
in the woods!"
So he hoped on through the
forest looking here and there for
feathers, but as there had been
high wind in the night, any
feathers that might have been
dropped from the winter birds
had been blown away.
Dear mel" said Uncle Wiggily
to himself, as he skipped along,
poking the leaves over with his
red, white and blue striped rheu-
matism crutch. "Baby Bunty will
be so disappointed if 1 don't find
feather for her! L simply must
get onew
But, though he looked every
where, not a feather could he pick
up, and, sad and sorrowful, he
turned back toward his hollow
stump bungalow.
He was wondering what he
could say to Baby Bunting, when,
all Of a sudden, Uncle Wiggily
heard Nurse Jane crying:
go on now, if you please! Fly
away and do yuor screeching
somewhere else! You make my
ears ache. Flutter alongW
Uncle Wiggily saw his muskrat
lady housekeeper waving her
broom, and then he heard harsh
voice crying:
Hay! Hay! Hay!"
''Dear mel" thought the bunny
uncle, as he hoped along faster.
Some one is making trouble for
Nurse Jane,'
Uncle Wiggily caught sight of q
bluebird, flushing in the sunlight
as it darted away through the
trees, and he heard Nurse Jane
calling:
"Shoo! Shoe! Shool"
"Who are you shooting, Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy?" asked the bunny
gentleman.
"Oh, one of those loud-voiced
bluejay birds" answered Nurse
Jane. "They are nice to look at,
and they do some good in the
world, but they are so noisy I'm
afraid they'll wake up Baby Bun
ty, who has gone asleep. Go on
away, Mr.. Blue JAY" she cried,
waving her broom again as the
blue bird darted back.

etable is transparent, then drain in

JUST FOLKS
DADS BIG FAULT.
1920, by Edgar A. Guest.

When I was young 1 never heard
My mother speak an angry word. ~
My father had his faults but oh, *
My mother seemed to love him so!
She praised him for the good he did
And kept his little failings hid
Yet always she would look distressed
When he spilled gravy on his vest.
When there was company for tea
She seemed in constant fear that he
Would grow so interested that
He'd quite forget that he was fat;
And when across her gentle face
OF pain and sorrow came trace,
We children very promptly guessed
That he'd spilled gravy on his vest.
He used to laugh and say: "My dear,
Whatever is the matter here"
And she'd Tut, tut" and shake her head
AS though some dreadful thing he'd said
To indicate that she had seen
How very careless he had been.
That telltale streak to all confessed
That he'd spilled gravy on his vest.
Now l am sitting where he sat,
And though I'm not so very fat,
AS did my mother, SO does she
Maintain a constant watch Ger me;
Perhaps it is sign of age,
But, anyhow, I've reach the stage
Where all the women grow distressed
When spill gravy on my vest, Il ,ef

day.
zone what?" asked Mr. Long
ears, who was taking his red,
white and blue striped rheumatism
curtch down off the clock shelf
so he could lean on it and hop
away from his hollow stump bum
galow and look for an adventure.
do you want an ice cream cone
or a pint of peanuts, Baby
Bunty?"
Neither one" answered the lit
tie rabbit girl, who had come on
visit to spend the Christmas
holidays. "What l want, Uncle
Wiggily. is a feather for my new
hat, Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy
bought me the hat but they had
no feathers in the seven-and-
eight-cent store. l wish you would
bring me one" .....
II will" promised Uncle Wig
gily. 81 am not very good at
shopping for hats, bonnets, dress
goods or things like that" he said,
'but / think 1 can manage to
bring you back a feather, Baby
Bunty. Don't you want to come
with me?"
"No, thank YOU" answered
Baby Bunty. 81 IN going to stay
and help Nurse Jane wash the
Dishes" and as she said this Baby
Bunty sang a little soap suds
song.
This was very brave of her, for
really she would have liked very
much going adventuring with I'm
Gle Wiggily. But she was also anX-
ious to help Nurse Jane.
So while Baby Bunty and the
muskrat lady housekeeper worked
in the hollow stump bungalow
Uncle Wiggily hoped over the
fields and through the woods to
look for an adventure.
And / must not forget Baby
Bunty's feather" said the rabbit
gentleman. 81 certainly must not
forget that TIL get her the pref
test one / can find for her hat"
But this was not as easy as he
had thought. First Uncle Wiggily
went to the coop of Charlie and
Arabella, the chicken children.
"Any loose feathers today, Mrs.
Chick?" asked the bunny of the
hen lady. II want one for Baby
Buntys hat, or bonnet, or what
ever you call them"
"Oh, dear! l am so sorry!"
CHECKED Mrs. Chick. II swept out
all the extra feathers yesterday II
Charlie were only here he might
have a loose feather in his tail you
could pull out"
"Oh, l wouldn't dream of that"
said Uncle Wiggily. Never mind,
Mrs. Chick. I'll hop over to the
Wibblewobble duck pen and get
feather there. One from Lulu,
Alice or Jimmie will answer very
we'll"
So the bunny uncle hoped over
to Wibblewobble duck pen.
ooh, my dear Uncle Wiggily!"
said Mrs. Wibblewobble, II am so
sorry! But just swept every loose
feather out of our pen yesterday.
If Lulu, Alice or Jimmie were
here. they might let you pull one
