WHEAT AVERAGE
 SLIGHTLY HIGHER
Rise Is Due To Adverse Crop Reports From
 Soft Wheat States

CHICAGO, May 14.--Adyerse crop reports from Illinois and other soft wheat states, with less favorable con ditions northwest, were effective in making the wheat market today aver age a little higher in price. Closing quotations for wheat were unsettled, May $1.045s to $1.04& and July $1.04fs to $I.0614, with corn a shaae to 6sc up, oats at a shade to ,sc, ad- vance, and provisions ranging from 7c decline to rise of 2 cents.
 With the seasontat hand when crop complaints are an important factor, the wheat market, immediately showed it. self sensitive to reports that through out a large section of Illinois the crop was normal and that many fields had only half a stand.
 Scattered reports of damage to vari- ous districts elsewhere in the winter wheat belt were also received, and with unreasonable cold weather retard- ing growth of showing wheat, commits sion houses leaned noticeably to the buying side of the market Conflicting adyices, however, regarding the Argen- tine labor situation deterred buyers and so too did uncertainty over the out look for farm legislation at Washing ton.
 At times, some standing orders to sell on advances tended to ease down the wheat market, but the effect of such selling proved transient. The fact that world stocks showed a decrease of 10,500,0 900 bushels for the week was a late stimulating influence. On the other hand, export demand was rather slow, and receipts in this country were larger than while back.
 With the weather too cold for corn planting and for sprouting, the corn market displayed a little more firmz ness than wheat. Oats were dependent on the action of other grains.
 Accommodating stocks of lard put some weight on the provision market.

 NEW YORK, May 14.-TherO has been little of interest in today's market and nothing in the way of news of sufficient importance to have any particular mar ket is the persistent refusal of the trade stubbornness early, due, perhaps to more hopeful tone which was discernible in the weekly steel trade review. but the effect of this soon wore off. The mar ket for industrial shares is suffering be- cause of the indifference of investors. Just what will bring about a change in thiA condition is hard to determine. The a1pmeasure is in the conference where it may undergo many revisions. Should 1t emerge sufficiently changed to make it acceptable to the President, some basis for improved market conditions may re- suit. Failing in this, or some other equally important occurrence. the princi- pal support of the market will continue to come from the short interests which kAak N~ 1N2 aNAa no urgency.-John F.

Immigration Bill
With Jap Exclusion
To Coolidge Today

Washington. May 16-The immi-
grafton bill with its Japanese exclu-
sion provision moved today along the
routine way of all legislation to the
white house and the uncertain fate
that awaits it there at the hands Of
President Coolidge. The measure hav-
ing been approved finally yesterday
by the house and senate, was signed
today by Speaker Gillett but reached
the senate too late for President pro
TEN Cummins to attach his signatu
1t will be signed by President Cum
Minis tomorrow and reach the white
house late in the day.
While the bill thus was going
through the technical processes Incl
dent to its transmission to the white
house, decision arose as to whether
the measure did not contain a loop-
hole through which Japanese might
enter the United States as immi-
grants.
Those arose from an Interpretation
OF the bills exemption from classifi-
cation as an immigrant of IAN alien
entitled to enter the United States
solely to carry on trade with and in
pursuance with the provisions of a
present existing treaty of commerce
and naviga ton" There is an existing
treaty of commerce and NAVIGATION
with japanese which gives mutual
rights to American and Japanese ma
tionals to enter and travel in the ter.
ritories of the other for purposes of
trade.
The argument made in some quar-
tors but generally denied today was
that under circumstances japanese
could continue to enter the United
States in practically unlimited num-
bers as traders despite the exclusion
provision. Senator Reed in his denial
said the privilege had been held be-
tween friendly nations for hundreds
OF years and the most ardent propon-
ents of Japanese exclusion had moth
ing to fear.

"The Colonel's Maid"
BY C. H. S. Seniors
Makes Decided Hit

The annual senior play was Sue
| cessfully presented in the Gardiner
High school auditorium Friday eve
nlng, every seat in the hall being
taken, while many were obliged to
stand. THE ColoneIs Maid" q
three act comedy was one of the best
plays that senior class has ever
put on in Gardiner. Ching all Ling,
the Chinese cook, who was advertis-
ed as being the most important in
dividual in the cast, certainly proved
this to be true, for he was the hit
of the evening, and the part was
played to perfection by Harold New
| comb. Colonel Robert Rudd, a
| widower of South Carolina, was
| played by Eldred Davis in a very
acceptable manner. Colonel Richard
/ Byrd, played by Eale Mcdonald, and
Colonel Rudd were old enemies.
| having at one time fought a duel
! over Colonel Rudd's sister-in-la
and Colonel Byrd is still under the
impression that his enemy had mar
ried the girl. whereas In reality he
| had married her sister, who Is now
Mrs. j. John Carroll.
The difficult part of Colonel Rudd's
daughter, Marjorie, was played by
Miss Madaline Sweetland.
Marjorie Byrd was engaged to
Bob Rudd but of course the affair
must be kept quiet on account of
the enemity between their fathers.
Mrs. J. John Carroll. Colonel Rudd's
sister-in-law, was played by Nancy
Merrill. and her manifest contempt
of the Coloners housekeeping, and
especially of Ching All Ling brings
about many humorous situations.
She has an idea that ne man can
keep house without the aid of a
woman, and as it happens, she ar
rives at the home of her brother-in-
law, just as things are at their
worst. Julia Carroll. her daughter.
