July. 1.10% to 1.10A, were followed
by an advance all around to we'll
above yesterdays finish.
Corn and oats synipathfzed with the
wheat advance. Houses with country
connections were buyers, and 1t was
said that the break up Of roads was
interfering with rural deliveries.
After opening unchanged to Y OFF,
May, S0A to sos, the corn market
underwent little further sag and
then scored general gains.
Oats started unchanged to u lower,
May, 4sA to 4sss, and later turned

r. COOKING around for someone on whom to cast the blame
u for the long deadlock in New York, those tired, dOwncast
Democrats sitting around in s~moke-flled hotel bedrooms in the
Garden, are blaming it on the women.
"Men will listen to reason they said, "but these women
stick to their candidates through thick and thin. Those pledged
to McAdoo won't give up the ship. Smiths hackers would
rather die than give in!'
Onethird of the voting delegatesin New York are women.
Politicians looked at them hopelessly and said, Women mustn't
act like that, or they'll never get anywhere in politics. Lots of
people think the nineteenth amendment was a mistake anyway.
Giving the women the vote hasn't accomplished anything. It's
just doubled the volume of votes
This reasoning is selfcontradictory, of course. Women
have some power or they couldn't cause a situation like that.
Besides, they were not given the vote because they would do
such wonders with it. They were given the franchise because
as ctizens-free, white and twenty-one-they were entitled
to it.
Positions carrying either salaries or power in politics
women have not. Their point of view was more that of the
voter than of the politician. They may need time to develop
their tactics, which will probably be different from those en-
plOyed by men. And it's in order to rejoice that they are.

by precipitation from the serum of

every possible opportunity to become
a great and successful man.
Each week the members of the
human company will deposit % cents
to the youths bank account. BY the
time he is ten years old the account
augmented by compound interest
will be sufficient to grant him edu.
c~ational opportunities available to
few boys.
Practically every member Of the.
closed corporation is a college grad
ate-all of them are well educate
and successful.
Already they are debating as to
where he Will be educated. Some
want to rear him in Europe, that he
may be Influenced by the continental
atmosphere.
It Will be interesting. in a few
years, 10 note whether this flesh and
blood organization pays dividends.

they were swallowed up in the great

The boys shoot the discs along the

The Circus
BY HAL COCHRAN

When the III starts to rise at the
break of the day and the daylight
makes everything plain, the kids
about town shout a husky Murray as
they welcome the circus folks train.
The long string Of coaches and
animal cars will squeak to a stop
near the lot where the clowns and
the jugglers and acrobats stars will
soon show the folks what they've
got.
The big tent it pitched and the
spirit is grand and e~Xcitement's as
tense as can be. The kids about
town gladly lend them a hand in
the hope that they'll let them in free.
The elephants drink as they ne'er
have before, cause there's plenty of
water on hand. The kids lug it in
till their muscles are sore, to the
tune of the big circus band.
And then the shows start mid a
shouting of glee ere the kids who
have worked settle down. And this
is the way that it always will be
whene'er there's a circus in town.

connection between the actual ar

posed to represent.
The consultations do not really
look like the animals, giants, war
riors and gods after which they are
named. The only exception is the
constellation known as the Great
Dipper.
1t must be remembered that the
shepherds of old merely traced fanci-
full pictures in the sky out of their
own imagination and assigned places
to tire stars in them.
This was done a long time ago.
Nobody knows how long ago. AS
far back as there are authentic rec
