every spectator was too busy look

the prizes awarded. Then the cakes
were auctioned of for charity.

WRITING CUSTOMS CHANGE.

If a man saved your life and you wanted to
express your gratitude in a note you would not
think of tipping it. That would be too cold too
detached a method OF expression Instead, you
would make use of the intimacy of handwriting
Custom demands It,
As matter of fact typewriting has become so
habitual TO many persons that it is the natural
thing, while the chrography Of pen and ink, rarely
employed employed except to sign their names, is
the stted. artificial way
The subject is brought up by the case of an
author, reported in eastern newspaper. He finds
that he cannot compose freely any unless he
does his writing with machine. His thoughts are
not fluent when he writes with pen because he
has used it little in late years that he has lost
the ability to handle it with He pound
a typewriter and be almost unconscious of even
touching the keys, and this faculty permits him to
concentrate his attention the composition of his
discourse. But when he writes with hand the me-
chanical work of fashoning the characters monop-
ozes his attention and he cannot think freely OF
what he wants to say. Accordingly when he has
personal letters to write, which etiquette requires
shall be written with a pen, he first indites them
with a typewriter, then laboriousy copies them.
Manners change with the times. The author
experience has been shared by many persons. Only
few of us remain old-fashoned Will the next

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Although
wheat today reached new high
price records for the season, heavy
profit taking sales led subsequently
to a decline. Buying based on ad-
verse domestic crop reports was
energetic at first but failed to last.
The market closed weak, &c to "a c
net lower, with May $l.29% to
$1.29% and July $1.15B to $1.l5 y.
Corn finished * to p to 1s c to
IA C down, and oats off &c to u
to &c. In provisions the outcome
varied from unchanged figures to
&c higher.
Many wheat traders showed
from the start a disposition to real
ize profits on holdings, and to re-
gard unfavorable crop reports as
more or less exaggerated. For a
while, however, demand for July
continued to be aggressive, mas
much as the territory affected by
reported crop danger-Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas
would embrace about one-half of
the seeded area. On the other hand,
the fact that call for immediate
delivery of wheat was slow and
that the May delivery was in no
urgent request brought about in
creased caution as to investment in
July contracts. Notwithstanding
that late messages told Of dust
storms again in Kansas the news
was without any apparent effect
in rescuing the market from the
price decline which had set in.
Liberal receipts of corn. together
with talk of lack of available stor-
age room here, tended to depress
the value of corn and oats. Be-
sides, rural offerings increased and
shipping demand here was slack.
Provisions were dull, but prices
were firm in line with the hog
market.
Closing prices:
Wheat - May, s1,29%; July,
$1,155s.
Corn-May, 5SHc; July, 6O%c.
Oats--May, Acc; July, Also.

"TELL-THE-TRUTH" WEEK.

Now something radical has been proposed: The
observance Of a special week in the year when
everybody would be urged and asked, if not ex-
pected to "te the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth" in every expression used in bust
ness in social intercourse in the solitary remi
niscent or reflective monoogue.
The theory Of the proposal rings true. But in
practice, in practical attempt-the operation might
be something else! Perhaps everybody would not
be as ingenious as some of the Georgia weekly
papers which have been recently reprinting an
editorial headed "All Editors Are Liars"-and be-
they printed it, nobody proceeded to believe
it, Speaking of the visible silences" how still the
world would sound If the restriction could be en-
forced upon the folks generally to tell nothing but
the truth; what confusion and horror and embar-
rassment would ensue IT, when they spoke every
body for a week told the whole TRUTH"
What awkward pauses of indefinite and face
reddenlng intensity social life would record in that
week? What mummery and pantomime would
take the place of much of the business haggling?
It is at least interesting and novel just to take
a minute off and ponder consecutively for that
space of time persistently upon the vision and the
sound Of the soundness of the proposal. Think of
what 1t would mean. You get thrill anyway. And
that's the truth! Boy, page Charlie Springer. Tell
him the news.

NEARLY DUE.

Attorney General H. s Bowman has sent letter
to the banks Of the state calling attention to the
fact that financial institutions designated as depos
itorIes for state money not qualified to cover
the amount of public monies to be deposited, and
urging them to comply with the laws of the state
There is nothing wrong with the suggestion 1t
is always gratifying to find state officer who Is
willing to urge that banks should comply with the
law regulating deposits.
Mr.. Bowman should now address a letter to the
newspapers of tho state telling them why he is
locking the barn after the horse is stolen. Surely
he knew of the situation in the Santa Fe bank. 1t
would be interesting to find whether Mr.. Bowman
considers himself as a specialist in autopsy dag
nosis or whether he wishes to be a surgeon who
will remove the cause before the patient dies.
It is always worth while to know the cause of
DEATH but it is more valuable to preserve life Mr..
Bowman may prevent overlooking Of favored
banks with staple deposits Similar diligence a few
months ago might have changed the condition of
state funds in the Santa Fe bank.

A NECESSARY STEP.

That states rights is still fundamental issue
receives another illustration in the violent demo-
cratic opposition to the anti-Nnching bill, which
passed the house of representatives in Washington
by a large majority.
The bill is the first serious effort to curb an
evil which has been growing steadily for genera
ton and which has become a deep stigma upon
the country One would have supposed that party
which two or three years ago professed such moral
and humanitarian sentiments in advocating the
League of Nations would not permit any Organi-
cation to surpass it in condemnation of that Tester
ing foulness known as "lynch law" but matter
of fact the Democrats in congress have not been
as excited since the civil they have been
over the proposition that lynch law should be
repealed
So bitter has been the democratic opposition
that the bill may be regarded virtually party
measure Indeed, it actually is a party measure
in the sense that 221 of the $50 votes by which it
was passed came from Republicans while the
Democrats contributed 1O2 of the 10 votes in
opposition The infringement upon states rights
is the issue.
The bill takes the enforcement of the constitu-
tiona guarantees of jury trial, and the punishment
of lynchers out of the hands of the state by pro-
vidng that lynchers shall suffer life imprisonment
and that the same penalty shall be imposed on
state county, and municipal officials who by neg
lgence fail to prevent lynchings The measure also
stipulates that counties in which life is taken by
rnobs shall forfeit So 900 to the family of each and
every victim.
The preservation OF the rights OF the states is
important but not as important the preservation
of the personal rights guaranteed to every citizen
by the constitution.

IRISH GETTING TOGETHER.

The hopes entertained since the recognition of
the Irish Free State by the British government that
this would pave the way for the Northern and
southern Irish governments to get together seem
in fair way Of fulflment Premier Craig of Bel
fast and President Collins Of Dublin have issued
joint announcement of agreement upon the disputed
boundary between the territories of the two Parlia-
ments Of decision to call off the trade boycott OF
the North by the South and the permission of the
North for the return Of Catholic workers to the
Belfast shipyards.
This is remarkable progress in Itself, but it is
capped by the news that the two governments are
in consultation upon plan for national union other
than the Council Of Ireland provided for in the
scheme for dominion government approved by the
British government. There be no question that
any plan for national union agreed upon by the
Irish governments will be accepted by the British

UNCLE wIGGILY's NEW HAT
BY Howard B. CARTS

When Nurse Jane came back to
the hollow stump bungalow one
day, having been down to the five
and six cent store to get man to
come up and wash the face of the
cloak, the muskrat lady house
keeper saw Uncle Wiggily very
earnestly gazing into a looking
glass.
Are you trying to be like Alice
in Wonderland. and go through the
looking glass;" asked Nurse Jane,
"or is your pink nose trying to
twinkle upside down."
"Ha! Hal" laughed the bunny
uncle. Neither one, Nurse Jane.
OF course | know Alice in Wonder
land, for l have had some adven-
ture with her, but l am not trying,
now, to soc if she is on the other
side Of the looking glass, for |
know she isn't"
"Is it about your pink nose,
them" asked Miss Fuzzy WuzZy.
mo, it's about my hat" Uncle
Wiggily said, And then Nurse Jane
noticed that he was wearing his
tall silk hat in the bungalow
something he hardly ever did, for,
of course, it is better manners not
to wear a hat in the house.
whats the matter with your
hat?" asked Nurse Jane.
at is worn out-my hat is-and
I need a new one" said the bunny
gentleman. This old one doesn't
look well on me, and so I was just
waiting until you came in to go
down to the nineteen and twenty
cent store to buy myself a new
one"
We'll, when you buy your new
hat" said Nurse Jane, please
bring home your old one"
What for?" Uncle Wiggily
asked. you don't want to wear
it, do you?"
Mercy, no." laughed Miss Fuzzy
WuZzy, but L want to use it as a
pot to put some dirt in it and start
few tomato plants. 1t will soon
be spring-at least hope so-and
If l start some tomato plants in
the house, in your old silk hat,
when I set them out after warm
weather comes, we'll have toma-
toes so much sooner"
II don't suppose" said Uncle
Wiggily, slowly, that there is any
way of planting old silk hats and
making new ones grow in their
places?"
I'm afraid mott" laughed the
muskrat lady. well, Wigey. hop
along, buy yourself new hat and
bring back the old one"
So Uncle Wiggily did this, not
taking as long to buy himself Il
new tall silk hat as one might i'm
asine. Uncle Wiggily was not too
proud and fussy.
"As for your old hat" said the
