DIRT FARMER, IN
PLUNGE ON CORN;
AMASSES FORTUNE
Arthur Cutten Nets Around
100000 in Big
Coup,
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO. July 15.-Arthur w.
Cutten, hero of the corner in corn"
which netted him somewhere be-
tween $1,500,O0O and 100000,
mounted the throne Of king Of corn"
on faith, he told the United Press
today.
I'm not a Spectator" Cutten
said: I'm a dirt farmer and it was
my faith in the inherent value of
corn, and the belief. amounting to
certainty that corn would go to
higher prices that enabled me to
make a profit"
.Cutten was hesitant to talk Of
the masterful coup that placed him
with the immortals Of the Chicago
Board Of Trade.
The reports Of my winnings are
somewhat exaggerated" he laughed.
Big Figure
But his friends hold the figure be-
tween $500, 900 and 100000 are
& proper estimate.
Cutten is about so, of medium
height, rather slender; immaculate
in attire, with his deeply sunburned
face evidencing much time on his
splendid farm some fifty miles
south of here.
II started buying corn when was
in California last February" he
said. 1T was about so cents then.
Soon afterward it began to drop. 1t
hit rs cents ana then went lower.
Il bought more, and continued to
buy more. Losses? OF course.
Gluten continued to buy uril he
had the Chicago supply of July corn
sewn up" 1t is stated that the
total was between 100000 and -
10000 bushel. The average gain was
probably around 80 cents per bushel.
Back of the faith" which Gluten
credits for his profit were three other
factors, gained in long years of work.
The first is knowledge Of markets
This Gluten gained while a book
keeper in A. S. White & Co, twenty
seven years ago at $125 a month.
Saved $4,000
The second is capital. Cutten saved
So, 900 out of his salary. With this
amount he started his own opera
tons, becoming a member of the
Chicago Board Of Trade in 1896. His
knowledge of money Increased, and
six wears later Cutten was a prOni-
nent trader.
The third factor is knowledge of
crops. Gluten himself is a farmer
Eight hundred acres near Glenn
Ellyn, H., are his home. There he
watches crops first hand. And there
he watches the effect of the weather.
knowing the weather was the
biggest factor in my success this
time" Cutten explained, Il knew
that under the adverse weather
conditions we have been having
corn would he bound to go up.
Therefore, 1 had the faith to buy in
spite of lowering prices"
The hero of La Sale st. thinks
more of his Glenn El!yn home than
he does of La Sale st.
81 went from the city to the
farm, not from the farm to the
city" he said "And the farms my
home. I lived there all the time
of course 1 come into the city often
enough to keep posted, but 1 like
my own crops and my own stock"

PAID CHAUFFEURS MUST
HAVE PHOTOS ON LICENSES

Chief Engineer Douglas C. Buck,
of the State Highway Department; has
issued warning to all persons who
are paid chauffeurs that they must
have their picture pasted on the driv-
er's license issued to them by the
State. The person to whom a license
has been issued must also sign the
license card Immediately upon re-
ceipt of it. A clause in the new motor
laws requires that the picture and
signature be placed on the card, and
unless it is complied with an arrest
will follow. Four drivers were arrest
ed last week for failure to comply
with this provision of the motor laws,
and they were fined when taken before
Persons who are not paid
drivers are not required to have their
pictures pasted on their operators Ii
cense, but they must sign the license
card as soon as they receive it. This
is done as a protection to themselves,
as well as to eliminate the possibility
Of person other than themselves US
ing the card. There has been some
complaint in lower Delaware from
persons who were not well informed
on the subject. These persons thought !
that all automobile drivers had to
have their pictures on the cards. Only |
those who receive pay for driving |
must do this.

GAMERS URGE EARLY,
MEDIUM, LATE TOMATOES

Among the important details of the
farmers institute lectures being con-
Quoted throughout Delaware under the
auspices of the State Board of Agri-
culture, is the advice being given
about the raising of tomatoes. Every
year, because the farmers raise but
one variety, there is usually a glut of
the vegetable and the bottom drops
out of the crop. 1t makes it extremely
difficult for Gamers to arrange for and
always brings threats by the grower
never to raise tomatoes again.
What the institute lecturers are ur-
ging is that the farmer shall raise an
early, middle and late variety of to-
matOes. Then there would be no glut,
the Gamers contend, if the plan is fol-
lowed out. Some farmers have agreed
to try it out, but others who are Gag
er to get at other crops have refused,
and they will have the same old en-
when the ripening sea-
son comes.

BURGLARS MAKE POOR
JOB ON CALLAWAY'S SAFE

An unsuccessful attempt was made
by amateur burglars to rifle the safe
at the mill of 2. J. Galloway, on East
Front street, North Milford, some time
Friday night last. The appearance of
the safe on Saturday morning attested
the fact that those attempting to rob
the safe had worked hard to accom-
plish their ends; but their lack of ex-
peFience was demonstrated by the
manner in which the work was done.
The combination dial had been chisel-
ed off with cold chisel, and an at
tempt had been made to pry off the
front covering of steel on the safe
door, Failing in their efforts on the
door, the thieves made an attempt to
chisel into the top corner of the safe;
but made only a slight impression on
the steel. They left no clew to their
identity. The safe contained about
$500 in money and checks at the time.
The work was apparently done by per-
sons familiar with the layout Of the
mill.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL
PLANT AT STOCKLEY
Complete Plans Have Been Drawn
By R. C. Beckett, The State
Sanitary Engineer.

R. C. Beckett, State Sanitary Engi-
neer, who began his work with the
State Health and Welfare Commits
sion January 1, has made a survey for
a sewage disposal plant at the Della
ware Colony for the feeble-minded at
Stockley. He has drawn complete
plans for modern disposal plant and
will supervise the installation of the
plant, saving that much money from
the funds of the commission. Mr..
Beckett stands ready to advise any
community or private citizen regard
ing the proper method to be adopted
for the protection of water and milk
supplies and disposal of sewage.
During January, in addition to draw
ing the StOckley plans, Mr.. Beckett
has investigated the water system at
Wilmington, New Castle, Middletown,
Smyrna, Newark, Clayton, Delmar,
Georgetown and Harrington. Samples
of the water taken at these towns are
being analysed at the State Labora-
tory and the results will show wheth-
er any serious contamination of the
drinking water exists.
Since 1920, when survey of the
State water systems was made by the
United States Public Health Service,
several Of the towns where contami-
nation existed have improved their
systems.
