Quick Delivery Wanted.

Toward the end of the week the
highest premiums on the crop We're
paid in Chicago for immediate delivery
of wheat to mills, and this was true
also at st. Louis. Choice grades of
wheat were scarce here and in brisk
demand. Meanwhile word that liberal
amounts of Canadian wheat had been
bought for import into the United
States failed to bring about more tina n
transient setbacks in price. The most
pronounced temporary setback came
after the market had risen cents
above last week S bottom level.
Chances of mishaps to Southern
Hemisphere crops were being more
and more sharply watched daily.
Corn Very Unsettled.
Speculative selling of corn against
purchases of wheat had depressing
effect iii the corn market. On the
other hand. diminishing stocks helped
to sustain oats.
Big breaks in the provision market
resulted from 81 decline in the top
price OF hogs at Chicago.

This matter of boosting Washington by of movie pic

thrown in his way by nature not
only make him more masterful
but teach him more of essential
human nature than he can learn
otherwise or elsewhere. The
strong and the weak points of
his companions come out into
view as never amidst artificial
surroundings.
Urges Scout Work
The health promoting qualities
of Boy Scout life are among its
greatest advantages. 1t opens a
universal sanitarium, where fresh
air and inspiring exercise of
mind no less than of muscle
give tone and strength to the
whole being. If / were a million
aire and had a young boy to
bring up / would far sooner send
him on a summers scouting cam
paign, or a winters for that mat
ter, than put him into the best
limousine in the world to swing
around the circle of fashionable
beaches and "health resorts" And
most normal-minded boys prefer
the scouting to the droning.
Scout knows the North Star is
enough to give him a certain dis
tinction. Many of them also
know how to tell when 1t is noon,
without a watch; how to start
fire when all the woods are wet:
how to set a compass; how to
row; how to fish; how to cook;
how to pitch tent; how to keep
a fire all night; how to shoot; how
to set a trap; how to know animals
by their tracks; how not to get
lost: how to meet emergencies; how
to deal with accidental injuries
and many other bits of practical
knowledge. which you may call
primitive If you like, but which
are of fundamental importance ard
