CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Bullish views
regarding the domestic visible sup
ply figures and about the amount
of wheat on ocean passage led to
sudden upturn today In the price
of wheat. The market closed
nervous, half to one cent net high
er, with December 1.1SA to 1.1Sk
and May 1884 to 1.231s. Corn
gained % to y q u and oats u
to %. In provisions the outcome
was unchanged to 12c higher.
In the beginning. the wheat
market showed considerable de-
preston, with bears putting stress
on the apparent absence of any
new export business and on pre-
dictions of liberal enlargement
of the United States visible supply.
Later, however. the market devel-
oped notable strength, largely as a
result of correct anticipations that
the increase expected in the visible
supply would be much smaller
than was the case a week ago. A
| decided curtailment of the stock of
wheat afloat on the ocean counted
also as a stimulus to the buying
side. On the other hand, profit
taking sales in the last half hour
wiped out good part Of the days
advance.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BUTTERFLY.
BY Howard b. CARTS

The trees Of the wood were COW
cred with leaves of crimson and
gold, for the end of the year was
close at hand. Soon Jack Frost
would stretch out his icy fingers
and stop the chattering of the
brooks by freezing them, 80 the
falling snow flakes might not get
all wet as they turrbled from the
sky.
Uncle wiggily Longears, the
kind bunny rabbit gentleman. was
leaping through the forest. He
loved the fall of the year, when
he could hop over the carpet of
dried leaves. making them rustic
with his paws.
II am glad winter is coming"
said Uncle Wiggily, as he skipped
along, "for I have warm coat of
fur, and in the cellar of my hol-
low stump bungalow are many
carrots, so Nurse Jane and I will
not be hungry. But winter Is not
kind to every one. Some of the
birds must fly to the warm lands
of the south. Some Of my animal
friends will crawl in their dens
and take long sleep, the ants will
dig themselves deep holes in the
earth. as will some Of the bugs. I
shall soon see no more crickets
and grasshoppers, and the butter
flies have gone, long ago"
| Just as the bunny rabbit said
this he saw something fluttering
on a bush and a moment later a
butterfly perched itself on the
shoulder of the bunny gentleman.
why. little butterfly" exclaim-
ed Uncle Wiggily, this Is no time
of year for you to be out. 1t is

you and there will be room enough
for you inside. Up under my hat
you will be nice and warm"
ooh, thank you" whispered the
butterfly, who was barely able to
move his wings. The rabbit took
off his silk hat, the fluttering
creature flew inside and there he
was. as snug as a bug in rug.
Now, I must travel on and look
for an adventure" thought the
bunny to himself. A moment later
he called: II say-up there inside
my tall silk hail"
Eyes, what Is 1t, Uncle Wig
gily?" asked the butterfly, who
was almost asleep, because he was
SO cozy and warm.

RIPPING RHYMES

no fine incentive this stale life
would accord. no spur to minds in

then all our pep would vanish, and
we would sink in sloth, and. grow

mortals have faith in bliss ahead,
and so they greet with chortles the

ged Uncle Wiggily. Don't crawl
around any more than you can
help on top of my head, for you
tickle me, you know"
'I'll be careful" promised the
butterfly, and he folded his
wings and legs, soon going to
sleep.
Uncle Wiggily travelled on with
the butterfly under his hat. but
somehow or other the bunny
found no adventure that day.
Rather and because nothing had
happened. Uncle Wiggily turned
back to his hollow stump bunga-
low. AS he went in he saw Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his muskrat
lady housekeeper. Taking off his
hat, Uncle Wiggily made a low
and polite bow.
Out flew the butterfly, much
more lively now because he was
warm.
ooh, mercy! What's that ?"
cried Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Just a friend of NINE" an
swered Uncle Wiggily. IT thought
he might stay with us in the bum
galow this winter"
"Of course!" invited Nurse Jane.
II eat hardly anything" whis-
pered the butterfly. "A drop of
sweet water each day Is all l ask"
you shall have It," promised
Nurse Jane.
"And I should like to help you
with the Homework" went on the
butterfly.
"You are not strong enough to
do housework," said the muskrat
lady.
ooh. yes I am! laughed the
butterfly. IT can perch on your
thin beautiful glass vases and
blow the dust off by fluttering my
wings"
80 you can" exclaimed Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. II always dread to
dust the very fine vases because
l might drop and break them.
But butterfly buster will be just
lovely"
So the butterfly stayed with
Uncle Wiggily all winter, doing
the fine busting. And once, when
bad fox crept into the bungalow
and tried to bite the bunny and
Nurse Jane. the butterfly flipped
some dust in the eyes of the bad
chap, and he couldn't see to nibble
the bunny's ears.
So you see butterflies are good
for something after all, besides
spreading honey on lollypops. And

Ninety-three cents out of every

taxes was used in paying for past
and future wars. This means that
the average family of five must pay
$1,000 each month for the privilege
OF being killed, starved or thrown
more heavily into debt. We went into
the great war not for territorial gain
but to prevent future wars; thous
ands of our young men were killed
and rs billions of dollars were vast.
ed, for now we are frantically arm
ing ourselves for a future war. We
are building SO warships displaeing
734,92S tons while Japan is building
% warships displacing 805,1 tons.
A modern warship costs more to
build and operate than Yale Univer-
sity, and if we would quit building
warships and would build 50 univer-
sites, think of the effect each wear

THE SUBMARINE
Baltimore News.)

The history of modern warfare has
been a history of moral retrogres-
sion. Its inevitable effect is not
progress toward higher levels, but q
reversion to lower ones. A main cause
of our entry into the war with Ger
many was our Indignation over the
violation of all rules of humanity
and of all the hardly established
code of international law which re-
suited from the unrestricted subma-
rine campaign. We recognized that
a submarine could not observe the or
binary rules of search. We knew that
it was foolish, if submarines were
used at all, to expect them to risk
their own almost certain destruction
by any tender regard for crews or
passengers of the ships they attacked.
But we felt that the fact of their use
was a crime; and that if weapon
could not be used without murder, it
should not be used at all. We went
to war partly to vindicate that be-
lief.
We won the war. We have not
yet indicated that belief. Subma-
rines remain in all the navies of the
world and, more than that, they are
being calculated upon to carry out
precisely the sort of blockade which
Germany attempted, in case the nee
essity should arise. The submarine
blockade, with its inevitable disre-
gard of human rights, has not van
ished from the world, but has become
a recognized method of warfare I'm
less there is a clear declaration on
this point now, we may fully expect
that in the next war merchant ships
will be sunk without warning.
The New York Herald has been
actively urging that the attempt be
made now, at the moment when there
is possibility of success, to Danish the
submarine and poison gas from mod
ern warfare. The difficulties are
manifest, but acquiescence in the I'M
restricted use of submarines means
acquiescence in methods of making
war, which once stirred our deepest
indignation, which were largely re-
sponsible for our entry into the Eu-
ropean conflict. To fail now to do our
utmost to put an end to them would
be gross neglect of an imperative
duty.

SIS, 100000 FOR PUBLIC ROADS
RELEASED BY THE PRESIDENT
Signing of Highway Bill to Result In
Employment Condition Improvement

Signing of Highway Bill to Result In
Employment Condition Improvement
/ President Harding's signing of the
highway bill releases $75,000,000 for
Federal roads. Many states have
been awarding the appropriation of
Federal funds before launching on
their highway programs. Immedi-
ate building is expected to start in
many quarters with consequent i'm
provement in employment conditions.
Senator Charles E. Townsend has
been leading the campaign for the
passage of this act, which incorpor-
ates most of the principles for which
he has been fighting. Primarily it
demands that a portion of the gov
eminent funds be set aside for up
keep, so that the original investment
will not be allowed to deteriorate.
Provision is made for allocating a
percentage of the funds for inter-
state highways. Special appropria-
tions are made for forest roads and
trails. The Senator is chairman of
the State Committee on Postoffices
and Post Roads.
st has always been my position"
Senator Townsend says in comment
ing on the bill, that the principle of
Federal participation in the con-
struction of certain roads should be
accepted as automatic. In my origi-
nal bill, which provided for a Fed
eral highway commission to admin
lister Federal appropriations and deal
with highway problems, l provided
that Federal money should be ex-
pended only upon interstate roads.
With the completion of the connect
ing backbone system the Federal
money then could have been used to
construct the ribs branching out
