Rural Offering In

CHICAGO, June l6.-(A. PIN
creased rural offerings of new wheat
to arrive had a bearish effect on wheat
yesterday, and prices closed unsettled,
three cents to 3& net lower with July
1919 to 1.32h and September 1924
to 1.221a. Corn finished ga @7-S

visions the outcome was unchanged to

County offerings of new wheat to be
shipped to Chicago in time for delivery
on July contracts were of sufficient
volume to put bulls at disadvantage.
Illinois growers seemed to be pressing

Rust Reports Issued
by Bears, Officials Declare

WATERFOWL, S. D., June 16.-(A.
P)-While federal bureau of crop
estimates officials declined to issue a
statement today on reports of rust in
festatiOn in spring wheat in South Da
kota, they said they regarded the re-
ports as designed only to influence the
wheat futures market.
They said that the earliest known
appearance of red rust in this state
of the spore which later develops into
black rust is July 6. Elevator men
say they have reports of rust, but au-
thorities point out this might be the
so-called orange or leaf rust and not
the fungus growth commonly known
as black rust in its final development
at the time it attacks the wheat stem
late in July and the time when it does
damage.
Stories of the appearance of red or
black rust prior to about July 10 will
not be given credence by authorities, it
was said by crop bureau attaches.

GrandmOthers' Wrongs

their just natural reward for II all
is to live and linger in the affec-
Tomato regard of those to whom
they have so affectionately minis
tered.
The real function of a grand
mother, the growing joys of a life
well spent up to date, are these: To
pass much time in the service of
some unselfish public cause, moral
or religious; to pass some time
lightly assisting about the place of
her son or daughter with whom she
may happen to live; to be a rather
tolerant and indulgent patron and
reception committee" for her de-
voted grandchildren.
However, IT Is impossible for her
to be all or any of these in case
she is tied down to the task of
rearing the young of the third
generation. To have her forced
into such a duty through death or
other sad circumstances is re-
grettable, but to have her own son
or daughter wantonly dump their
babies into her lap for regular at
tendance in order that they may
have time for joy riding and social
Indulgence in general-this as a
grievous situation, and to me in
tolerable.

mother love is normally transferred
from the child of the flesh to the
child Of the spirit. and there is

spoke her gratitude. She never did.
