Grain Gambler Tells Experience
How He Made Market Worse for Farmers by His Selling
of Paper Wheat

wished to know, sold another quarter
of million bushels. I.noticed that it
was taken in driblets-that is, the
buying was in lots Of ten or fifteen
thousand bushels instead of being
taken in two or three transactions,
which would have been the normal
way. In addition to the homeopathic
buying the price went down N cents
on my selling. Now I need not waste
time pointing out that the way in
which the market took my wheat, and
the disportionate decline on my SELL
ing, told me that there was no buying
power there. Such being the case,
what was the only thing to do? Of
course, to sell lot more. Follow
ing the dictates of experience may
possibly fool you now and then. But
not following them invariably makes
an ass of you. So I sold two million
bushels, and the price went down some
more. A few days later the markets
behavior practically compelled me to
sell an additional two million bushels,
and the price declined further. Still
a few days later wheat started to
break badly and slumped off cents
a bushel. And it did not stop there.
It has been going down.. with short
lived rallies.
"Now, I didn't follow hunch. No.
body gave me tip. It was my habitu-
al or professional mental attitude
toward the commodities markets that
gave me the profit, and that attitude
came from my years at this busi-
ness. I study because my business is
to trade. The moment the tape told
me that was on the right track my
business duty was to increase my line.
I did. That is all there is to it."

A FEW OF THE FACTS

The largest water works plant in
the world (New York City, is publicly
owned.
The largest hydro-electric develop
ment in the world (Province of On
tario) is publicly owned.
The finest cotton handling dock and
warehouse system in the world (New
Orleans) is owned by the state of
louisiana. --.-
The greatest canal in the world
(Panama) was built and is owned and
operated by Uncle Sam.
The largest dam in the world (As-
souan, Egypt) is a public institution.
The oldest bank in existence is still
owned and operated by the govern
ment of Sweden.
The grain raisers Of New, Zealand
and Australia get larger share Of
the consumers dollar than any other
grain raisers in the world Their
governments help them get it.
The cheapest manufactured electric
current in America is provided citi-
zens by the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
And yet an Office hunter with big
business money in his pocket will
solemnly assure the public that public
ownership is everywhere failure.

EUROPEAN FARMERS ACTIVE

EOhOT EA1N L AhMEhS AC1lNE
Large numbers of peasant farmers
in Roumania, Jugoslavia, Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Poland and Bulgaria belong to
what is called the "green information
al" It is furnishing lively opposition
to political reaction in the respective
countries. One of it's chief demands
is the breaking up of the great landed
estates found all over Europe
On the other hand the government
Of Hungary which. our Herbert Hoover
helped to set up by Juggling relief
work, is trying to restore in full the
old system Of great tax-free estates,
peasant serfs and feudal landlords.
Progressive European farmers have
right to expect friendship rather than
opposition from republican America.

(TgE;lslIs1lszEazz1a HE Saturday Evening
lmM hHa Post has been running
series of articles on
'The "reminiscences of
SSs5s; Ss Stock Broker" In one of
the articles the hero of
them describes how he made money
in the wheat market, and he offers
testimony to the point the Leader
has often made about wheat gambling,
namely, that it increases rather than
decreases the fluctuations of the
market.
When the hero of the stock ticker
saw that there was likely to be
little surplus of wheat, he made it
large surplus by throwing in paper
wheat and the price broke cents.
In other words he forced naturally
unfavorable condition for the farmers
to the extreme limit. And yet many
will tell us that this is civilized way
of doing our most important bust
ness. Even the condition Of which he
took advantage was the result of
government neglect of the farmers
interest. .-.r
The passage in question from the
Post reads as follows:
SHORT SELLING CAUSES
A 6-CENT BREAK
81 kept track of the commodities
market always. It is a habit of
years. AS you knew, the government
reports indicated winter-wheat crop
about the same as last year, and
bigger spring-wheat crop than in
1921. The condition was much better
and we probably will have an earlier
harvest than usual. When I got the
figures Of condition and I saw what
we might expect in the way of yield
mathematical also thought at once
of the coal miners strike. I couldn't
help thinking of them because my
mind always thinks of all develop
ments that have a bearing on the
markets. It instantly struck me that
the strike, which had already affected
the movement Of freight everywhere,
must affect wheat prices adversely.
l figured this way: There was bound
to be considerable delay in moving
winter wheat to market by reason
of the strike-crippled transportation
facilities, and by the time those inn
proved the spring-wheat crop would
be ready to move: That meant that
when the railroads were able to move
wheat in quantity they would, be
bringing in the crops together-the
delayed winter and the early spring
wheat-and that would mean vast
quantity Of wheat pouring into the
market at one fell swoop. Such being
the facts of the case-the- obvious
probabilities-the traders, who would
know and figure as I did, would not
bull wheat for while. They would
not fell like buying it unless the price
declined to such figures as made the
purchase of wheat good investment.
With no buying power in the market
the price ought to go. down. Think
ing the way did must find>whether
was right or not. AS old Pat Hearne
used to remark, You can only tell
after you bet Between being bearish
and selling there is no need to waste
time.
Experience has taught me that the
= way a market behaves is an excellent

Camel a Champ.


The SaratOv organization Of the
American relief administration claims
to have discovered the champion Rus
sian relief worker-a camel. This ami
NAL makes regular trips Of Al miles
through the snow to haul sleigh loads
Of food, 1880 pounds to the load, to
the starving people Of it's native viii
lage.
While the average person is inclined
to associate camels with hot desert
plains, they will probably always be
suggestive to Russian relief workers
Of frozen, famished regions. The CAM
els have been found to possess an en-
durance If not speed far beyond that
Of horses under the appalling condi.
tons Of the Volga valley. No railroads
being available in the outlying dis.
tricts Of the valley, animals furnish
the only transportation during the
winter months.
AS the animals, too, have been short
Of food, the A. r. A. is receiving sew
eral thousand tons Of fodder pur-
chased out Of the $1O,OOOO0O appropri-
alton of the soviet government, and
doubtless the Saratov organization
will see to it that the famous camel
gets goodly share.

Today thin gold wires may be seen

Spain, Italy and Sicily, as well as
gypsies of both sexes, are much at

YER I'Hl|l, ! !?
Invention Has Been Master-Key
to Civilization.
Foundation Stone Of the Mental,
Moral and Physical Well.Beino
Of All Mankind.

Shall we be very far wrong If we
place the inventor at the top Of the
list Of men and things that have made
the civilization Of today what it is?
Personally, we do not for one moment
hesitate to do so. And this does not
mean that we fail to recognize how
much humanity owes to science, medi-
cine, philosophy. finance, morals and
religion, which, by utilizing the works
Of the inventor, have made them con-
duce as much to the mental and moral
as to the physical well-being Of man
kind.
Let your thought travel back to pre-
historic times, to the day when man,
possessing only the faintest glimmer-
ings of intellect, had little more than
hand and foot and teeth with which
to compete with the beasts of the for
est, most of which had more of speed
and strength and cunning than he.
What was it that started him on his up
ward climb to superiority but the use
Of his dawning intellect in the inven-
ton of weapons with which to turn
this unequal conflict in his favor? One
Of the earliest great inventions, If not
the very first, took place when some
one cut a strip of tough skin. strung
it faulty between the ends of an elas-
tic stick and fashioned the first sharp
pointed arrow as missile. Thereby
did invention overcome brute strength :;
and thenceforth, by similar applica-
tons of reasoned thought to the SUBJ
stance and properties of things, has
man progressed In building up the
complex and altogether marvellous CIV
ilization Of our day.
IF the Importance of man is to be
judged by the extent and duration Of
his achievements, it cannot be denied
that, In the presence Of our old friend
the inventor, all the kings, princes,
emperors, statesmen and soldiers of
history sink into relative insignifi-
canoe.
Not to Alexander, or Caesar, or
Charlemagne-not to Aristotle, Cicero,
Dante, or even the great Shakespeare
not to Talleyrand,/a William Pitt,
Cavour, Gladstone, jefferson, or
Webster-not to the long line of
brilliant men who have graced the law
and the church-not to these do we
owe the locomotive, the steamship, the
automobile, and the fast-fying ships

locked the immobility of man and
made fluent the age-long solidity of
the world. Not to these men, who are

How unexpended Ammunition
Was Done Away With.
Bonfires Every Day in Belgium for a
Considerable Period Following
End Of the War.

At a certain town In Belgium q
strange bonfire used to be lighted
every night.
During the day from 12O to 200
tons Of ammunition left over from
the 'war-some 10000 projectiles Of
every description, that is-were
stripped Of their fuses. Then they
were laid with open mouths alongside
shallow trenches that had been filed
with brushwood and sprinkled with
picrate and cordite taken from the
shells and cartridges.
At $50 in the afternoon the great
fire was ready to be lighted, and M.
f. A. Talbot, an English writer, gives
the following thrilling description Of
the way in which it was done:
SHARP to the minute shrieks q
whistle, and there is wild stampede
Of workers from the clearing. A
motorcar has driven up unobserved,
bearing the safety inspector and his
| assistants.
"He makes a hurried examination
Of the now silent and tenantless clear
ing, re-arranging the shells here, and
trimming the trails somewhere else.
Meanwhile an assistant has emerged
from his shack with -four long steel
rods, an armful Of Pigs, and bucket
Of paraffln.
1.-THE rags are wrapped round the
ends of the rods and saturated with
the inflammable liquid, and sharp at
$40 match is struck and four blaz-
ing torches distributed among the
safety officials.
1.-THE mOtorcar commences to purr
as the frebugs bend to their task.
Each man is responsible for the fir
ing Of SO many trenches. 1t is an
inspiring race. The men fit from
trench to trench in succession, dipping
their brands into the attractive trail
in passing.
"The cordite and picrate catch fire
instantly to run along the ditch with
the speed Of the prairie fire. .
BY the time the last trench has been
I fired the ground is completely envel-
oped in smoke and the men appear
as phantoms.
1.-THE brands are hurrledly discard
ed, and there is spirited sprint
| across the remaining few yards to
the road to catch the car, which Is
| already on the move. Tumbling into
the vehicle pell-mell, the throttle is
opened and the top speed slipped in,
there being no easing up until at least
a mile has been put between the es-
Gaping f1rebugs and the burning
ground.
! GAS the evening advances the fire
grows fiercer, throwing off dense
clouds Of varicolored smoke, lit
with lurid tongues of flame. For
miles around the fire Is spectacle,
and it occurs so punctually every aft
ernoon throughout the week that the
rural population accepts it as time
piece"
BY next morning the shells have
burned themselves out and are suffi-
GENTLY cooled to be handled. They
are then sent away to have the driv-
ing band removed, and the ground is
! prepared afresh for the next bon
| fire.
