WHEAT

Gulf premiums were lower yesterday
as the result of the little new demand
for cash wheat. The few sales of cash
wheat which were made were against old
business. Considerable July option was
turned into cash wheat. Reports were
current that Germany had made further
purchases of cash wheat, but none of the
reports could be confirmed. Belgium
purchased more Argentine wheat. Sales
of corn totalled about 100000 bushels.

independence Under New
Pacific Treaty.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE four
power Pacific treaty was today made the
basis Of a new plea for independence fol
the Philippines, in q letter presented tc
the President By the Philippine resident
commissioners, Jaime C. De Yerra and
Isauro Gabaldon-
The plea for independence, made by the
commissioners, declared that in the past
the principal objection 10 independence
for the Philippines has been that such
action might make way for Japanese ag-
gression in the islands. 1t was declared
that, under the terms Of the four power
Pacific treaty, such aggression would be
impossible and that therefore the great
objection to Independence is wiped out,
and the Philippine people are anxious
that the administration take quick action
to grant them entire governmental free

Probably Used to Assist Their Masters in
Taking Game.

During a journey from Pekin to Kali
gan, in China, some American engineers
We're favored by a most extraordinary
sight.
Near a beautiful temple they came upon
great company of men, carrying what
seemed to the Americans the most I'M
heard of cargo-each man two eagles
All, men and eagles alike, were seated
upon the ground when the strangers first
caught sight of them, and the men said
they were taking the birds into Mongolia
to recover their plumage, and that they
were kept in Pekin for the purpose OF
making eagle feather fans but other peo-
pie told the Americans afterward that the
birds were being taken to catch hares and
other game for their masters. and possibly
also to catch more eagles. Probably both
stories were correct.
Presently the men got up and went off
carrying their burdens, about 40 very large
eagles and 10 smaller ones. The smaller
birds sat each upon Il basket dangling
from the mans shoulder pole. Each bas-
ket was apparently full of something OF
other. the Americans could not see what
but the larger eagles sat on the poles al
the other end. and il was amusing TO see
them turning round and balancing them
selves and generally settling themselves
comfortably before setting off.
The men seemed not to have the least
anxiety lest these fierce creatures, with
the powerful beaks, should each take 4 mir
OF the cheek nearest them as they went
along.-New York Herald

Some of the uneasiness with which the

known that they have been forced to cut

Influence of Latin Language.

English was quite a pure speech up
10 the year 1906: that is, IL consisted
only of English words and English
phrases. Then, with the Norman
invasion of that year, there began to
come into England language which
was not English in any sense-but
French. Now. French is kind OF
Latin-it is Latin with the ends bit
ten off," or very much altered; and
Latin is the language of the people
who lived in Italy, and whose capital
was Rome. Latin is the very essence
the basis and the staple OF the French
language; hut il is nothing more than
a considerable contribution 10 our
English tongue. 1t has given US many
thousands OF words; ii has given US no
habIEs-that is, it has given us no
granDar. Aud ii has not had mueh
influence OF the build of our sentences.

Docs Sense of Danger.

Perhaps the most surprising anu IN
leresting story concerning dogs is one
rhat occurred In the writer's own
town. in England. One Sunday after
noon, In August of 1917 man pro-
ceeded TO his allotment for few
hours work. Fl He took with him, as
usual. his dog, great pet. Toward
O'Clock the dog grew very restive
and kept trotting excitedly toward
home and back again. Every whit
rs eloQuently Us Balaam'S ass, he was
speaking his mind and saying with
eyes and tail and voice and action.
Please come home" The man grew
curious and consented. He had scarce
~ reached the shelter Of his house
when a number of Gothas floated over
the town, dropping their CHASTITY mes.
sengers of death. Afterward II was
found that q bomb had exploded on
his allotment. smashing TO splinters
the chair on which he usually rested.
Does any ONE think that this man
needs the recommendation of the ).
p. c. A? ! think not. Nor would
the world Mt large if they simply con-
sidered the amazing and generous
service .ch mammals render TO men.

CLIMBING CATFISH.
Climbs IS Feet Up Steep Rock in Half

An interesting account of the climbing
catfish of Columbia (Arges marmoratusl
was published few years ago by X. ID.
0. johnson. These fish can climb, by
means of suction apparatus. not only up
the steeply inclined bed OF a mountain
torrent. but even up a smooth vertical
surface. MIR. Johnson saw some of them
climb vertical distance of IS feet in half
an hour, up L wall of rock over which
triczled a thin film of water.
In connection with a recent pubhca-
ton of this article, G.. K. Noble states
that other species of fish are known to
climb in the same manner. Several OF
these occur in the Himalaya. Nemachllus

mountain cyprinids. adhere to the rocks

The mountain torrents of the Hima-

MAKES 221h PC. CUT
Announces Reduction of Wages to Go
Into Eject NIonday-AppIies
to All Mills

LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. 10.-The
American Wooden Co. announces wage
reduction of e212 per cent today to take
effect next Monday. General business
conditions We're assigned as the reason
for the wage cut. The reduction will
apply to all mills of the company, which
number about 20 and are situated in
New England, New York and Pennsyl-
vania. President William Wood said
today that he was not yet able to say
when normal operations could be re-
sumed. Most of the mills have been
operating with partial forces and on re
duced sceduleS for some time.
In a statement to employees announc-
ing the reduction President Wood said
that Notwithstanding curtailment of OPP
Grafton the company had been accumu-
lating cloth. 1T has been unable TO re-
sell its cancelled orders or 10 secure new
orders for what little cloth we have
been manufacturing" he said. We
have been waiting for business, but no
business comes so we have decided to
do something to start business II IL can
be done. First, we propose Immediately
to sell the cloth on hand at greatly re-
duced prices. This viii be done at Il
substantial loss to the company, but we
must meet it. Then we propose imme-
diately to make the biggest effort we
have ever made to get business TO run
our mill, but we are convinced our best
