Very evidently there many respects in

beyond cavil

him to appropriate stolen skill in planning bat

Lincoln which made them great. The cause of
freedom and humanity moved forward at a great

Napoleon had a graeter mind and a more

Meagerness of the visible supply
total and of the stock on hand
here facilitated the upturn in
values. Subsequent heavy selling
was ascribed more or less to profit
taking and to setback in the
price of May delivery at Winnipeg,
where there was said to be free
country selling. Giving out of
support in the corn market here
counted also as a bearish factor in
wheat toward the last.
Weakness which developed in
prices for corn and oats seemed to
be due to enlarged rural offerings
of corn. the result of the fact that
corn planting is nearing compile
ton. Increased supplies of lard
here had a bearish effect on pro-
visions.
Closing prices:
Wheat - May, $t.46A; July,
$1.15H
Corn-July, 6O%c; Sept. 68Ac.
Oats--July, 3SAc; Sept. 39%c.
Pork-May, 5000; July. $500.
Lard July, $9.55 Sept. $9.S7
Ribs-July, $3.50; Sept. $10,O7.

assume it is buff. Nor did you tell
me the exposure Of the various

Sunshine require the more subdued

popular choice for bright room.

as pale blues, pinks, yellows and
lavender: so if | were you | would

which gets some sun but not much,
might be done in pink or lavender.

plan: sage green or brown for the

which gets a little sun; old rose or

ANSWERED LETTERS.

Walt: rs it customary to fec
ones minister when he baptizes
your child, or to make contribu-
ton to the church at that time as a
sort of return for his services?'
Answer: l never heard OF such a
practise. OF course if you wished
to make a contribution to your
church, this would be q very nice
time to do it--but L don't believe
many persons do.
Anxious: 1--WE have Just built a
bungalow and have some double
windows in it. Shall drape these
as one window or as separate win
dows? And is pongee suitable to
use for window drapery, / would
also be glad if you could tell me
how to take grease out of wall
paper?"
Answer: If the ceiling Of the
room is unusually high, treat the
double windows as one window,
having two separate pairs of white
glass curtains which touch be
tween the windows (thuS giving the
effect of one unbroken sweep OF
white) and running q valance down
the outsides and across the top OF
the two windows like a picture
frame with no valance strip run
ming down between the windoWs).
If the room is average in height,
OF is low ceiled, have two separate
pairs of glass curtains and have a
single valance strip running down
between them and another strip at
the outside edge of each window,
and, of course, the ruffle across
the top. You will have to run a
very long rod across both windows
to do this. Pongee is perfectly
suitable for valances, especially the
silk pongee in shades of brown,
green and blue.
To take grease out Of wall paper,
place a piece of blotting paper over
The spot, and put hot iron on top

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, May 17.-Wheat aver
aged higher in price today largely
ae a result of buying by houses
with eastern connections. The
finish was unsettled at the same as
Yesterdays finish to Ne advance,
with May $1.46A to $1.4Gh and
July s1.15A to $1.15s. Corn lost
sc to &c, oats ssc to nc ana
provisions &c to 22c.
Sharp advances took place in
wheat during the first part of the
day, but were practically wiped
out in the later trading. The east
em buying which carried values
was ascribed for the most
part TO "a prominent spectiiator
who apparently had been short and
who had changed his position.

For Little Ones
UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
LIGHTNING EUGS.
BY Howard y. CARTS,
Copyright, 1921. by Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.

Here's the molaases jug, Uucle
Wiggily!" called Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy one day, as she came to the
door of the rabbit gentleman's hol-
low stump bungalow.
THE mofasses jug. What for? ?"
asked the bunny.
"For molasses, Of course" said
Nurse Jane. II am going to make
some molasses cookies, but | can't
without molasses. When you are
out looking for an adventure please
bring me back some molasses.'
81 will" kindly promised Uncle
Wiggily. So he put his red, white
and blue striped rheumatism crutch
through the handle of the molasses
jug, and away he hoped.
1t did not take Uncle Wiggiiy
very long to get the jug filled with
molasses. and then he hoped along
to look for an adventure.
He was about mile from his
hollow stump bungalow, when, all
of a sudden, the bunny rabbit gem
tleman heard some voices saying:
ooh how hungry we are! Oh, for
a bit of sweet honey to keep us
from starving!"
This sounds like trouble"
thought Uncle Wiggily. 81 wonder
If / can be of any help?'
He looked through the bushes
and, on a green messy log, he saw
number of little yellow bugs cIu-
tered together like flies around the
sugar bowl.
what is the matter, my dear
bugs?" asked Uncle Wiggily, know
ing he had nothing to fear from
the little creatures.
ooh, we are so hungry" sadly
sighed the yellow bugs. THE bees
have taken all the honey from the
flowers and there is none left for
US. OF course the bees didn't do it
to harm us They didn't know that
we would soon be looking for some
thing sweet to eat"
How about molasses?" asked
Uncle WiggiIy. 81 haven't any
hOrey but here is q jug full of
mOlasses."
ooh. that will be just lovelyl"
said the largest yellow bug. please
give us some of your molasses, and
If ever we can do you a favor we
shall be most happy"
Well of course, Uncle Wiggily
never thought some little yellow
hugs could ever do him a favor,
but you just wait and see.
The bunny gentleman poured
some of the molasses out on a flat
stone and the insects gathered
around it and slipped it up as they
would have done with honey.
"Oh, how good Uncle Wiggily ISL
buzzed the bugs as they stopped
themselves from being hungry with
the mOlasses.
Away hoped the bunny and soon
he. was at his hollow stump bunga-
galoW
Did you nave an adventure?'
asked Nurse Jane, as she began 70
make the molasses cookies.
"A little one with some hungry
yellow bugs" answered the bunny.
That evening, after supper, when
II was just getting dark. Nurse
Jane gave Uncle Wiggily some of
the newly baked molasses cookies
to take over to Grandfather Goo-
sey Gander.

WALL. STREET


New York, May 17.-Today's op-
erations in the stock market were
perfunctory and dull Dealings
were lighter in volume and narrow
er of scope than for several weeks.
The listless movement was ac-
companied by conflicting advances
and declines which evidently de-
rived their sole impulse from the
professional element. Meager pub
lie participation seemed restricted
to the selling side.
News and other developments
were Of the same familiar tenor.
Some rails suffered additional
moderate losses as a result Of pess-
mistic views uttered by transporta-
ton officials and believed to fore
shadow more dividend readjust-
ments.
Similar conditions applied with
equal or greater force to many
steels equipments. motors and
other issues of no definite descrip-
ton, some of which were said to
be feeling more acutely the depres-
sion in their respective lines.
Although call money held at 7
per cent, shorts were driven in be-
fore the close by purchasers OF
local traction issues, as well as gas
issues, coppers and shippings.
Final prices in most instances We're
considerably above lowest levels.
Sales amounted to $4,000 shares.
Continuance of the holiday pc
riod abroad detracted from activ-
ity of foreign exchange but adj
vices received by well informed
banking interests indicated an
amicable settlement of the Silesian
controversy. Except for the Dutch
rate all important international
remittances were firm to, strong.
Foreign issues were the most
conspicuous features of the bond
market. chilean IS reacted on dis
solution of the underwriting syn
dictate and MeXicans lost ground
with French municipals. Domestic
bonds were steady, although the
Liberty group showed further ir-
