Wheat Gambling.

Much selling of paper wheat's
has been going on at the Chicago
Board of Trade. Paper wheat"
doesn't make bread, but it affects
the price of real wheat.
The selling of paper wheat cut
the farmers price to around 50
bushel. Board of Trade gamblers
blamed it on the claw of supply and
demand" Bankers drew in their
loan purse strings.
Hundreds of thousands of farm
ers sold their wheat, which now
lies in country elevators, owned
largely by men operating on the
Chicago Board of Trade, directly or
indirectly.
Then came an upward swing in
the price of wheat. The upward
swing" was slight, but sufficient to
make millions for the owners of
"paper wheat" Gambling broker
age concerns that had been con-
spicuous of late on the selling side
reversed their positions and "cover-
ed" on broad scale.
That's how the gamblers manipu-
lated the wheat market. Just be-
fore the grower hauled his wheat to
their elevators the gamblers were
conspicuous on the selling side.
This beat down the price. Then
they bought this wheat from the
1rmers who had to sell Immediate
ly, at the manipulated low price.
When the gamblers had the wheat
they reversed their position and
began buying paper wheat" This
forced the price of wheat they held
in country elevators to a higher
| level.
The producer of the wheat lost
| the difference, the consumer of
bread didn't profit, and the gambler
got the money.-Ex.

A Large Timber Operation Conduct
ed According To Forestry
PRINCIPLES.
Principles.


DR.. Edward E. Tull, of Princess
Anne, Maryland, has recently sold
the timber on 500 acres of land, to
be cut under a plan suggested by
the State Board of Forestry.
This is one of the finest stands of
timber in the State, consisting of
about rs per cent Loblolly Pine and
rs per cent hardwoods of various
kinds. Since pine is the most valu-
able species and this ground IS TO
be devoted to timber growing, it
was realized that the most import
ant consideration in regulating the
cutting was to secure satisfactory
pine reproduction. To secure them,
four pine seed trees, approximately
IL inches in diameter are to be left
per acre, as evenly distributed as
possible, all other trees to be cut
clean. The seed trees are to be
marked by the State Board of
Forestry The limit of time allow
ed for cutting the 500 acres is 20
years, with the provision that at
least 80 acres in solid block shall
be cut and turned back to the owner
each year. The owner has arranged
to dispose of the brush after cut
ting, either by burning or scatter
ing, depending upon the amount of
natural reproduction upon the area.
The operators, Messrs. Armstrong
and Gladding, will use modern tim
Der method in handling this tract
with some novel features, such per-
haps as war tanks, purchased from
the War Department, for skidding
timber.
This is one of the largest opera
tions, considering the area involved,
the amount of timber, and the pur-
chase price, of any conducted i'll the
State for many years. The saving
of seed trees, the clean method of
cutting, and the disposal of the
brush will serve as an interesting
demonstration of what can be done
in securing pine reproduction after
cutting, and should be of special in
terest to all those who own wood
land of this type.

What do you think when you think
nothing?" is what children used 10 ask one
another.
The Thoughts that are No Thoughts, the
elfin Thoughts that come peeping in at
the door and run away before you can
catch them; the sad Thoughts that sit back
hidden somewhere in the woods and caves
Of the mind, and play plaintive melodies
that you hear when you are not listening
and cannot hear at all when you listen,
uneasy and disturbing tunes Of fluent mel
ancholy; and little tripping Thoughts Of
laughter and gay mischief that in the
interstitial moments of graver affairs you
glimpse dancing on some moonlt sward of
memory. their gee-notes tinkling like
flower-bells, awakening mirth that lies
fathoms deeper than even a smile; the scary
Thoughts that show their twisted faces at
the window pane Of your comfortable hour
and whisper premonitions and apprehen-
sions and subtle fears; the Thoughts of
trickish fun that come TO you at funerals,
and the gloom Thoughts that visit you at
feasts.
What an Aviary is the mind. with all sorts
OF fluttering birds, some red and yellow
and foreign, some commonplace as drab
sparrows, some loathsome as bats, some
sweet-singing as trilling rollers!
