Chicago Grain.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Renewed
uneasiness regarding activities by
the Turks led to higher prices for
wheat today in the first part OF
the Board Of Trade session. I'm
expected rise I'm Liverpool quota
tions was construed as lndicat-
ing that yesterdays reports OF a
probable quick peaceful settle
ment between the Turks and the
allies had been more or less pre-
mature. Another bullish factor
was better demand for domestic
winter wheat to be shipped to Eu-
rope by way OF the Gulf of Mexico.
The opening, which ranged from
5-Sc to ! LAC higher, with De-
cember s1.07 10 $1.07 IA and
May S1.0S 3-4 was followed by a
little further gain and then a
slight reaction.
Corn and oats were firmer with
wheat. After opening Lac high
er, December 81 Ia to 81 3-S the
corn market eased back little!
Oats started unchanged to 1-Sc
higher, December 81 rs and later
scored slight general gains before
beginning to react.
Provisions reflected firmness, OF

Among the most encouraging
signs of the recent motion pic
ture releases is the absence of sex
and problem films with which the
screen was surfeited months ago,
and of course they still exist, but
are fewer in number.
We have noted that for some
time the pictures on a whole have
been those that appealed to the
best Of human nature, and IL
crime was introduced 1t has been
given in contrast with life we'll
spent, and the reward Of right
living emphasized. There have
been too, generous supply OF
cheerful mirth-provoking films
clean fun, minus Objectionable
features.
Golden Dreams" the Offering
at the Princess today is a story of
the first class in which a desery-
ing and honest young Scotchman
finds himself in the grip of de-
signing, treacherous Spaniards,
but manages to extricate himself
and the girl he loves.
1t Is a story by Zane Grey, and
those who have read her writings
will find in it,the same spirit Of
romance and adventure that char
actertize her other stories.
The leading roles are taken in
q capable manner by Claire
Adams and Carl Gantyort.
Unusually interesting sport and
International News complete the

LOCAL OPERATORS
TO Be DELEGATES
Jenkins and Pursglove Among
Thirty Elected for Ma
tionaI Conference.

Two coal operators will repre-
sent Northern West Virginia at
the Joint meeting of thirty op-
orators and thirty representative
of the United Mine Workers Of
America to be held at Chicago on
November IA to work out wayl
and means 10 avoid further coal
strikes.
G. H. Jenkins, Fairmont, vice
president Of the Hutchinson Coal
Co., has been selected to repre-
sent the operators who signed UP
with the union in the Northern
West Virginia Coal Operators AS
ISOLATION, while Joseph Pursglove,
Cleveland, who has operations in
the Morgantow9 section, has been
selected to represent the Monon-
gahela Coal Association.
II Is planned that the Chicago
meeting will formulate method
of procedure to avoid any further
coal strikes. which have been a
great financial waste to operators,
miners and to the American peo-
pie, which after all Is the big fac
tor for consideration after all is
said and done. West Virginia has
two representatives, which are
both from Northern West Ylr-
ginla. ,Kanawha has no represen.
tative.
The conference completed its
work at Cleveland yesterday at
lteruoon at o'colck, and the big
thing accomplished was the APP
polntment Of the previously men
toned committee. This committee
will affect an organization at that
time. Fifteen states are represent
ed. and this will be meeting on
a nationwide scale rather than a
four state proposition which has
been the unit In the past.
The conference In Cleveland de-
cIded not to appoints commission
to act as a fact finding body for
the operators and the miners. bu,
1T was agreed TO keep that feature
under the new government act,
which provides for the appoint
ment Of a fact finding body. 1t IA
understood that Secretary of Com
merce Hoover asked for recon-
mendations as to who should b1
appointed on this commission. As
far as the operators are concern.
ed they have decided not to make
any Recommendations. However

filmed the entire story.
Nowadays 1t takes about two
months to write the scenario
