MATERIAL RISE IN VALUES OF WHEAT

CHICAGO, Nov 22.-Largely as a result of strength shown by the New York stock market, a material ad- vance took place today in the value Of wheat. Closing quotations for wheat were firm F @1ssc net higher, Sl.oS% @109. Corn finished 3s F O 3sc up, oats at B@A@9sc gain and provisions unchanged to 7c lower.
 After evidence of little uncer- tainty during, initial transactions, the wheat market soon began to move upward, and with offerings light displayed considerable vigor in the ascent as the day drew to an end. A good deal of buying which accompanied the rise appeared to be for spectators who until recently were bearish. The fact that grain prices have failed to decline of late to the extent that bear traders had been figuring upon tended to empha- size the influence of the stock mar ket bulge, and to bring about change in sentiment regarding wheat, with quick forgetfulness of reported heavy shipments from Rus sia the chief bearish factor here at the opening.
 Russian and Danubian shipments of wheat were larger than for many weeks in pre-war times-the aggre- gate last week being 3,224,O00 bush els against 1,344,000 bushels the pre- vous week and none last year. On the other hand, domestic primary re- seipts continued to show decided falling off and bulls here contended that wheat had intrinsic value at current prices. Gossip was c1rcu- lated also that strong interests were supporting wheat, and if need be were ready to take moderate losses for the sake of helping general busl- ness conditions.
 Predictions of rain or snow likely to interfere with husking gave firm ness to corn and oats. Furthermore, prices of hogs and corn were nearer to a feeding parity than has been the rule of late. Provisions were governed by action of the hog mar ket.

AND HE WAS ABOUT RIGHT
Little Newsboy Certainly Had Some
Correct Ideas Concerning Sue
cess in Business.

The homely, freckle-faced little news
who works in one of the downtown
office buildings for several days In
stead she had had to explain to a seri-
Gus looking little fellow which paper
she preferred. Soon she began to
realize how much the CHEEKY smile and
''How are you, miss?" had meant to
her when served along with the latest
edition.
Then one evening he was back at
his corner and the young woman
stopped to tell him how glad she was
to see him again and that she hoped
he was there to stay
"Yes'm guess I'm here to stay sure
'nough. That other one was my broth
er. l thought I could lend him this
corner and sell papers myself at an
other, but the business can't run it
self and he never was no business
man."
The young woman smiled and said:
HE is not very old, perhaps he will
learn"
mot him; he never will learn.
Twice I have tried to set him up In
business for himself and he can't make
1t go. Papers won't sell themselves.
You've got to be happy If you want
to sell papers You can't be n crouch.
He don't know the first thing about
good business man. He just can't
smile"
The young woman demonstrated her
own business ability with a smile, took
her paper and hurried into the car.
But she did not read the paper on her
way home. She had other things to
think of.

BIRDS ON THE FARM.

We little realize the value Of the
wild birds to the farm. Scientists
have discovered that in Massachu-
sets alone the birds consume TWEEN
ty-one bushels of insects a day, be
sides great quantities of weed seeds
In freely performing this great ser
vice for the farmer, the birds show a
more kindly spirit toward us than We
show to them.
Children should be encouraged in
the care and study of birds. BY
scattering chaff, crumbs and seed at
favorable points, they can attract
the birds and sustain life through
the severe winters.
We have at our windows the jay,
chickadee, tree sparrow, brown
creeper, downy and hairy woodpeck-
ers, goldfnch. purple finch and jun
co. All winter we have been able to
study these little fellows and watch
their habits and peculiarities. Dur
ing snowstorm, we counted fifty
one visitors to one feed box in the
space of five minutes. Could a Win
ter be dull and long with such a
procession?
in the summer, bath constructed
from shallow pan, with gravel at
the bottom and about a half inch Of
water, the pan placed upon stump,
will add to the comfort OF many
bird and be a constant source of Joy
to the household

Machinery for South Africa.

Imports of mining machinery into
South Africa in 1921 EXCEEDED those
of 1913 by more than 20 per cent, and
show an appreciate increase over
those of the intervening years, says
the industrial machinery division of
the Department of Commerce. The
most notable feature shown by these
imports statistics is the expansion
which has taken place in machinery
imported from the United States. De
spite the fact that there was de-
cided drop of imports from the United
States in 1920, as compared with those
of 1910, the salient fact is that in 1927
the manufacturers of the United
States supplied more than % per cent
Of the mining machinery purchased by
the mines of the Union of South
Africa, which is more than twice the
amount purchased from the United
States in 1919.
