TO ELECT WOMAN
CHICAGO MAYOR
Although the Primaries Are
Almost a Year OFT, Old
Friends Groom Mrs. Bau-
err for the Office.

Chicago, May 7 (by the Associ-
nted Press) How would you IKE
to he handed q million bushels OF
wheat this morning and have TO
paw spot cash for it? That Is the
sort Of problem Arthur w. Cutten
of the Chicago board OF trade is
meeting with these bright May
mornings. Big dealings have been
going on in the wheat trade OF late,
and of these Mr.. Cutten has come
10 be regarded as the king-pln.,
If you read the market tickers
in the banks and brokerage houses
in La Sale street, or wherever
there is grain exchange in Amer
ica, you will see that May deliveries
sof wheat in Chicago are passing
into strong hands" Here the
rstrong hands" referred to are gen,
orally taken to mean the hands Oh
ARTHUR w. Cutten,
Probably no person other than
MIR. Cutten himself could pay with
ANYTHING like precision what the
total amount OF wheat is that he
stands committed to buy. And the
buy In the case means actually 10
take and pay for 1t rendered to
him any time this month, that IS,
an trade parlance, during the May
delivery.
One story circulated is that Cut
ten will accept to any extent what
ever wheat of regular contract
grade delivered to him in Chicago
this month, if the trader making
the delivery has no other use in
sight for the wheat. This report
was current imm ediately after he
Mad accepted and paid for in one
dump much more than billion
bushels.
"a formal denial of the no-limit
story was soon forthcoming, but
talk on similar lines persisted and
has been given credence because or
Mr.. Cuttens financial standing and
his known record for resolute
handling of large affairs.
A woman may be Chicago's next
mayor. Although the primaries
are almost a year off, friends OF
Mrs. Jacob Baur, frequently re-
ferred to as "Chicago's best bust
ness woman" have launched a
campaign to win her the republi-
tan nomination.
Mrs. Baur is the wealthy widow
Of Jacob Baur, president of a chem :
ioal company, who died ten years
ago. Before her marriage in 19OS
she was Bertha Duppler. Earlier
she had been a stenographer ano
Secretary to two Chicago postmas-
iers in succession. Frequently she
was acting postmaster of Chicago
In the absence OF her chief.
4 After marriage she took an ac-
tive part in her husbands business.
Insl919 and 1920 she was president
Of the Chicago Equal Suffrage as
sociation and in the latter year
went to Geneva as the Illinois del
egate to the international suffrage
convention.
.Nose- prints" of cattle as a
means of Identification soon will
silpplant the painful and trouble
some old branding system, says AL
Dunlap, chairman of the Interna-
tional Association of Identification,
Just returned from a western tour.
The cowboys laughed at the idea,
but 1t is working out effectively In
Minnesota, where more than 1000
nose prints already are on file with
the state. MIR. Dunlap says the i'm
preston of cows noses differ as
widely as those of human fingers.
Installation of complete radio
outfit in every home built by them
IS to be the policy of a Chicago
building association this summer il
an effort to stimulate the "owr
your own" idea.
4. The complete outfit, including
IT, wiring, will be installed during
construction of the building at ar
approximate cost of $3.50, the
firms announcement says.
When a herd of ~ high bred
goats was purchased in California
recently by Charles A. Stevens
wealthy Chicagoan, for distribution
here, Mr.. Stevens failed by about
$1,000 worth to appreciate thu
value of his purchase. When the
herd arrived after some ten day:
on the road it had increased from
~ to %. twenty-six little kids hav
ing been born en- route. The kids
figured on the basis of the valua
tion of the herd purchased, arr
said to be worth much more thar
enough to pay for the entire trans
portation and distribution Of thu
goats.
