Honolulu, T. H. Aug. 26.--The GEN.
tlpede, Stunned, feared and abhorred
enemy of the residents of Hawaii, who
can cause a small panic by merely ap-
according to University of Hawaii in
vestigations, because he subsists
mainly on other pestiferous insects,
mainly mosquitoes and cockroaches,
thus decreasing the hordes of those
bugs.
The results of the investigation,
made public in an extension letter,
showed that the centipede. whose bite
is feared because of many tales of its
eath-bringing qualities Is not vi
cious and is retiring in disposition ex-
cept when he is attacked or thinks he
is. Then he has fairly potent means
of defense in the feelerS in his fore
feet with which he inflicts his "bite.''
But his bite is no more serious usu-
ally than that of a bee or wasp; the
university letter said.

'AY-Market unchanged,
WEEKLY GRAIN REPORT.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-All grains registered
slight reeoveries this week from the ex-
treme depression of the previous seven day
period, but the market was hesitant and
without leadership by either side. Wheat
was Sc TO lie higher this morning than
week ago: corn was up 12c to 11sc and
oats SC to 1&c.
Provisions were unchanged to lie higher.
Uncertainty over the European situation,
both as regards the financial situation and
probable demand for grains this year, DOM
mated the wheat market holding the
swings to narrow limits. Export demand
was slow. Improvement in the domestic
industrial situation was a bullish factor,
and gave the market what firmness there
was to discount bearish cables. Permission
for India to export sixteen million bushels
Of wheat and reports to the federal and
commerce department, that Europe's i'm
ports for the current year probably would
be considerably under last years were the
principal bear factors.
Low prices for the season we're scored
Monday on all deliveries but the dip
brought out heavy buying and a strong up
turn forward.
Corn was influenced primarily by weather
and crop reports, and held firm on the
bulges as news of serious deterioration in
some important sections became insistent
as the week wore on. Export demand was
practically negligible.
Oats were dull all week and registered
only slight fluctuations entirely technical
in nature.
There was no fundamental influence in
the provisions market, but prices see-sawed
on hedging transactions.

H. H. Motter, state chairman. came
to town today. 1t was reported that
Governor Allen would confer with
Motter during the day. Dope in the
state house during the day indicated
Motter and Duff intended to carry the
Craftsmanship fight thru to the finish.
No Fight I'm Bourbon Camp.
The Democrats are advertising for
a chairman of their state committee.
The job has been peddled for two
weeks without real results Forrest
Luther declined another term. Mar
tin Miller of Fort Scott declined the
place. Dan Callahan of Wichita can't
leave his bank and oil wells to play
politics. Henderson S. Martin has
been mentioned, but hasn't given a
final decision. c. J. Patterson of To-
peka is another likely prospect with
other names likely to be suggested
over the weekend.
County chairmen, who compose the
state committees, will vote exclusive
ly on the state Craftsmanship. Their
meetings will precede the regular
party councils. Republicans will meet
cialists. Democrats will probably dis
cusS war plans at the Throop hotel or
auditorium.
No Thrills With Socialists.
The Socialist council probably
won't carry many thrills, altho their
platform will likely contain more ad :
jectives than platform principles of
both dominant parties. The Social
lists are not likely to make an agrees
sive state campaign and their meeting
Tuesday will be a mere formality.
1t is an entirely different story for
the Republicans and Democrats.
Their meetings will produce an album
dance of oratory, perhaps some real
scraps and certainly the issues around
which the campaign will be made dur
ing the next two months.
