TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, June SUPERINTENDENT SELL
ing on the part of houses with eastern con-
nectioHs led to a sharp break in wheat
prices today after values had again touch

said the continued upturn in Quotations
had made exporters hesitant. Besides,
weather conditions appeared to give. some
advantage to the bears and there was con-
siderable disposition to regard recent esti-
mates of the 1921 yield as too small. Open

figures to INC higher, July $140A to

OUTLAW THE SUBMARINES.

Speaking for the British govern

Tuesdavs Mr.. Bafour urged that the
submarine tonnage allowed In the
American limitation proposals., 10000
for Great Britain and the United
states respectively, and $4,000 for
uapan. be reduced and that the con-
struction OF submarines OF large cruis-
ing area be forbidden altogether. Mr..
Bnlfour was inclined to think that II
might be well to outlaw all sub
marines, but he hesitated to advocate
their elimination from naval warfare
because they were considered to be
"the defensive weapon OF the weak
That was the. view OF the German
Government on Feb. 4, 1916. when 1t
proclaimed a war zone about the Brit
ish Isles and announced that enemy
merchantmen would be sunk without
warning. On Jan, 81. 1917, Germany
notified the United States that sun

begin the following day. II then be-
came only a question OF time when

vent the globe from raveling out to

Some tough sewing Is in prospect,
it is alleged. Followers of national
fortunes are pointing out rents that

ry on century couldn't patch. In most
cases the job attempted with nee-
dies OF war instead of needles OF peace.
Even the honest efforts toward real
and lasting harmony only too often re-
suited in pin pricks that threw the
earth into spasm and more rents
and more futile sewing bees.
The world is sick OF patched gar

information about one feature OF the
Conference on the Limitation OF Arm

with pleasure by many readers of the
paper. 1t WAS a revealing presenta-

standing OF the twenty-one distin.

Harding as an advisory board to AS

JUST FOLKS
WINTER JOYS.
By Edgar A. Guest.

Grim old winters comm on,
Golden autumn's almost gone,
Bleak and bare the hills appear;
Now the solemn time of year
Hovers round us and we turn
Nightly to- the fires that burn,
And the home begins to ring
With the songs the children sing.
Don't like winter and its cold?
That's a sign we're getting old,
Getting old and fell the sting
or the billiards. buffeting.
And the silence makes us feel
That the touch OF death is real:
Yet indoors the wood fire snaps
Like the children on our laps.
Winter, and the trees asleep
Under blankets white and deep,
Yet behind our doors we stay
Watching merry youth at play;
Telling stories new and old,
Tales that never would be told
To the young In prose or rhyme,
Were it always summer time.
Here are joys we'd never know
But for ice and ffost and snow
Blaze OF hre and lift Of song,
Love to make us brave and strong
Peace that comes from little arms
And a thousand other charms
Blent with radiant delightss
Only known to winter nights.

HIS FIRST REPUIsE.

Yielding to the urgent requests OF
political friends in Congress, and no
doubt also instigated by a considera.
ton of the public interests. President
Harding, on Thursday, engaged in
direct attempt to influence legislative
action by Congress-. The Senate and
House were at loggerheads over the
surtax rate, the House insisting on
80 per cent and the Senate on 80.
President Harding. in a letter to
Chairman Fordney Of the House ways
and means committee, suggested. a
compromise on rate of 40 per cent.
But the extremists of what is called
the agricultural bloc" in both houses
refused to accept the Presidents sug-
gestion.
The dispute is still unsettled, and II
is not yet possible to foresee the out
come. The radical element is insist
ent upon high rate Of taxation, fail
ing to see the visible effect of such
excessive taxation in forcing capital
to invest In tax-exempt securities tc
