WHEAT RISES
EARLY TO-DAY
Active Buying Follows WAY
ering Start

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Active buying by
houses with eastern connections car
ried wheat upward today after wav-
cring start. Offerings were light
early, and the fact that Liverpool
and Buenos Aires quotations show
Cd strength helped lift values here.
Bullish advances from Argentine
counted also as something Of fac
tor. The opening which ranged from
&c decline to 1sc gain, with May
s1.59% to S1.6Oh and July $1.4lA to
SLAP was followed by a slight gen.
eral sag and then by a rise all
around to we'll above yesterdays
finish.
Subsequently additional advances
took place on account Of reports
that excessive wheat had damaged
the late Argentine crop. Closing
prices were unsettled, sc to "a
net higher, May $l.6l to $1.Gl's and
July SLABS to $1.421i.

lost in it. Morning came yellow and
daughter, sat watching the weather
outside. The frost was playing with
its cold diamonds; the sky was an
wax-like. The sun was yellow like
wax, yellow like the face of a corpse.
The barometer fell to 80. Ilya said
the birds were falling frozen to the
ground. In the evening some one
called up to say that snow-storm
was coming from the Ural. 1t soon
came sweeping along, dancing, howl
ing, groaning, shrieking above the
fields and the city, around the Sibirna
Mountain, and in the empty parlor.
The only place in the house where
one could support the weather was
the corner near the stove. Olga Yer
alskaya saw now the revolution as
a snow-storm and the people in it
as mere snow-flakes. 1t seemed to
Olga that the snow-storm had killed
her. Dressed in a fur coat and top
boots, she sat huddled near the stove,
tired of thinking, tired of reading.
Nevertheless, with the storm rag
ing outside, she sat reading the diary
of Ivan Petrovitch Bekesh.
Five image-lamps burned before
Olga Veralskaya. The couch stood
facing the stove and was all clutter
ed with fur-coats. The tiles Of the
stove shone dimly. And behind the
wall the wind was blowing in the
empty rooms.

ceIy known to anyone, had spent the
entire evening with the hostess Olga
NicoIayevna Jmukhina in a carriage
outside, where they had supper and
wine, spiced abundantIy with frequent
kissing and smutty talk. Then the
girls told their version of the story.
They had scarcely undressed when
Sammy Tanatar broke in dead drunk
announcing his intention of sleeping
with them. The girls, Of course, all
got frightened and hid under the
blankets. All their exhortations and
prayers for him to leave the pavilion
were Of no avail. Then, disreaarding
all rules Of decency, the girls jumped
out Of bed and threw him out of the
pavilion by main force. Immediately
after Tanatar's departure came the
lunatic Fedoroff, but everybody only
laughed at him because he was nice
and behaved more decentIy than Ia
natar.

A half forgotten nursery tale is re-
vived in some corner of her mind. If
you plunge a sharp knife into the fun
mel of whirling snow you will kill the
granddaughter of the snow-storm-
the snowflake. A drop of her cold
white blood will fall ON the ground
and this blood will bring happiness
happiness. If one could only believe
this tale, go out into the snow-storm-
waylay the snowflake dancing care
lessly it's round dance-and attain
happiness
But what if one believes in moth
ing?
Happiness. Happiness.
And Olga Veralskaya knew: she
was that snowflake; she had been
killed. The storm was blowing,
sweeping onward, bowling, raging.
The fur coats were lying on the
couch. The five images were burning,
the tile was shining dimly. Doctor
Veralsky was heard snoring. The
diary had fallen in her lap; tears
were falling in her lap. Tears for
him. Her head had fallen in her
hands.
But what if one believes in nothing?
What if they had killed her like a
snowflake? No, not they-he had
killed her. The story of Olga veral-
skaya's life was simple: high school,
college, the Red Front, where one
could neither understand nor con-
denim, then he . -. A dark mill
tary hut, the smell of horses, dim
lantern on the wall, a horses head,
black eyebrows, black eyes-red lips
pain, pain, horror, horror, horror,
disgust. That was all.
The diary had failed in her lap;
tears were falling in her lap. The
image. lamps were burning. Her eyes
were lanterns in an autumn rain.
Anxiety. Pain.
Doctor Audrey Andreyevitch veral-
sky, dressed in fur coat and felt
boots, came out Of his room yawning,
and got near the stove.

MELONS "DIISTAKE"

7NE of Secretary Melons telling arguments against
III high surtaxes when he pressing for adoption OF the
Mellon tax plan was that the number of big taxpayers was
falling off each year.
Mellon presented statistics galore in proof OF his position
He showed that number of people who paid taxes on IN
comes in excess of 100000 smaller in 1920 than 1919
and smaller in 1921 than in 1920
But right there Mellon stopped!
Why present the figures for 1922 now seems
apparent In the official Statistics of Income for 1922 just
given out by the Treasury Department shown that IN 1922
the of taxpayers who paid incomes in excess OF
100000 was 40 per cent greater in 1922 than in 1921
Here are figures for three successive year920 3649
1921, 1852; 1922 4O31.
In other words high did not prevent big tax
collections business conditions good In the years
war, business fell off and naturally incomes
decreased
1t interesting that while the total number Of
taxpayers barely per than in 1921
number of those who paid amounts of 100000
creased more than twenty times much.
Mr. MELONS mistake is further emphasized by the fact
number of peoplesixty taxes
incomes of more than 100000 1922 did in 1918 before
business slumped.

At Night
HAL COCHRAN

There's always two sides to a
story, they say: That's something
you've surely heard tell. No doubt
it applies to what happens by day,
and what happens by nighttime as
we'll.
Let's take just one instance that
comes to my mind, and see if the
saying proves true. Just simmer it
down till we actually find if the sides
to it really are two.
The clock in the front room will
boldly strike three. The world is
asleep and at rest. A tiny tot cries
and it wakes you or me as the walls
louder grow in their zest.
We rise to the call and we rush
to the child. Many funny tricks
sleepiness plays. We rock him un-
til all his crying grows mild, yet we
rock and we rock in a daze.
Its true dads have lost lots of
sleep in that way, and they've done
heaps of kicking about it. And yet,
if the mothers could just have their
say, dads would find it worth while
don't you doubt it.
Imagine the feeling that comes
with a throb when MONS walked
from slumbering deep, = to find that
the baby's got dad on the job so that
she can fall right back to sleep.
