STRIKES AND WHEAT PRICES

Last year when a general railroad
strike seemed imminent the Chicago
wheat market manipulators used the
situation as a reason for pounding
down prices so far that they never
recovered during the entire selling
season, except for a few days in May.
But a few weeks ago, after an at
tempt to settle the shopmen's strike
had failed, newspaper dispatches car
ried the information that the unfavor-
able transportation outlook had caus
ed a boost IN Chicago wheat options
Apparently the whole thing depends
solely upon the wishes of the men
who hold the pen which marks the
Chicago wheat-price curve. Ii they
happen to be extensive holders OF
paper wheat which they must dispose
of, most any little excuse is enough
to shove prices up. If they have sold
wheat which they do not own and
face the necessity for buying to make
good on their promises then similar
situation is made to form the reason
for forcing prices down.
And all the while, back on the farm
the wheat grower is working year in
and out to produce actual food, penal
lied always by the trickery and cheat
used by little group of market rul-
ers to separate a never-ending gang
of novice gamblers from their money.

QUIT STAYING UP NIGHTS

The greater part of human dissi
patton takes place after the greater
part of the human race should be in
bed and soundly asleep. The night is
made for sleep. Otherwise the moon
would have been a duplicate sun.
Mem and women who habitually
buck and tug against the natural or
der, prefer artificial light to daylight
and incline to turn night into day.
There is no time of the day so fetch
ingly fine as early morning and yet
practically no people except a few
elderly farmers know much expri-
mentally about the joys of early
morning hourS-and care less. Most
young people would trade a week OF
early morning hours for an hour of
late evening time.
The mortal frame must have eight
hours of soud sleep out of every
twenty-four to keep up it's due vital
ity and to do its work. Ii the world
goes to work at eight IN the morning
1t should be in bed at ten in the eve
ming Two hours between getting up
and getting to work is brief enough
time from bed to labor Not many
people can dance or attend the late
movies and get to bed at ten o'clock.
Every hour cut off the normal sleep
ing time is that much cut off of life.
They die early who retire late. Every
school child, every working man and
woman who is up too late at night is
practically an invalid the next day.
Poorer work while one liyee and an
untimely death are the penalty paid
for robbing the bed of its dues. Burn
ing the candle at both ends is a
mighty poor way of disposing of a
candle.

SEE WHAT YOU BUY

Trading Sigh unseen" has long
been sport among the youth OF the
nation. 1t is a guessing contest in
which one of the traders nearly al
ways loses.
Yet there are many people OF ma
ture age who will buy sight unseen"
They will glance through brightly
colored catalogue, ponder over the
glittering statements and send away
good money.
On the other hand your local mer-
chant spreads his goods before your
eyes. You can see what you buy He
is your neighbor and he knows that
he must keep your confidence to keep
your business.
He not only does this but during
the lean years, when ready cash is
scarce he goes to the bank and Dor
rows money in order that you may
continue to buy the necessities of
life. During the last two or three
years local merchants have carried
thousands of accounts on their books
They have curtailed their own ex-
penses and their own pleasures and
he who has needed and has obtained
credit has been served
There now is prospect of boun-
tiful crop. There will be much money
in circulation. Old debts can be paid;
new purchases can be made.
Will you buy sight unseen" or will
you trade with the man who shows
you what you buy? Will you trade
with the house that is your friend in
prosperity but deserts you in adyer-
sity? Your local merchant has shown
his faith in you. viii you show your
faith in him?
