Go III for II

"NTEW trade spotty and Irregular"
IN industrial operations sagging,'
disappointment over failure of spring
trade to meet expectations ~ such the
rather gloomy reports from New York,
but they are not alarming to the fellow
who works like the deuce all day today
and grabs tomorrow ut midnight tonight,
for the condition is perfectly natural
one and has often been met and survived
thru everlastingy pushing for business,
Every tradesman and manufacturer
must remember that, in the early days
OF last fall, there was "spotty' and
"Sagging" condition AS was usual. the
D aople were cautious rs to the possibilities
latent in national politics. After election
the prices of most commodities went up,
producing. very naturally. a great eNpan-
sion in production.
Simply. the present condition is like
that period when the oceans high tide is
turning. 1t is surprising how safe you
feel in wading far out and surprising how
you want to yell, Come on in! The
waters fine!"

The Suckers

NIFTY MILLION DOLLARS year are
l. lost by American investors in lot
terieS.
Every sucker is lured on by the hope of a
Dig winning. "A dollar doesn't mean much
to me-" he thinks, "and $4,000 would.
Assuming lotteries are honest-which
you can't-the investor is almost always
the loser.
The most generous" lotteries give only
65 per cent of receipts in prizes.
Assuming Mr. Sucker invests dollar a
week for 30 years, he will have spent
S1,0i0. The law of averages, which can
not be beaten in the long run, dictates that
he will have received back little more
than $3.50 = prizes.
The same amount of money invested In

proximately $1,000 in insurance.

SCIENCE -
OLD BUT NEW

GENERAL tales Of sea ser.
~ pents have again been print
ed. recently. This may be only
the advance crop OF the usual
summer supply.
However, tho sea serpent idea
will not die. During the days
OF sailing vessels, It was com.
monty believed there were such
creatures. Science, about the
time It became interested in
Darwinism, soon stopped this
belief in circles Of higher edu.
cation.
Studies OF giant sea mammals
and great fishes is a compare
lively new science. However. 1t
has gone far enough so that
those who pursue II viii not say
there is no such thing as sea
serpent. In fact, many OF these
investigators declare the cvi.
dence IL in favor Of the sea ser.
pent.
One OF these investigators,
Reginald Pound, has compiled
testimony. over a period Of 20
years. Of reputable witnesses
who claim to have seen strange
sea monsters. This testimony
includes official reports by Cap.
tain Rostron. commander Of tile
Cunarder Mauretania, and Ad-
miral Anstruiher OF the British
navy. Pound says that deep sea
research work reveals more and
more tho great ignorance that
prevails about the inhabitants Of
the ocean.

1t Can Be Done

PROFESSIONAL newspaper humorists
L have been making fun Of an effete
Eastern editor who published this:
John Robinson fell out Of a tree he was

and was unhurt"
The item is oleh, Notwithstanding that
il seems to indicate Johns control Of the
law of gravitation One can fall out of
tree slowly
Way back. years ago, boy of years
was told by his father never TO climb trees
and by his mother never To disturb birds
nests. He promptly climbed tall cypress
and reached for blue jays nest, and was
promptly pecked and picked by ut least
l0i birds, most of them blue jays, and
some of them eagles, condorS, buzZardS
and such, as il seemed He let go and
fell, with pleasure The first branch below
caught his calico shirt ut the hindmost
button and took five agonizlng minutes TO
rip 1t TO the neckband. The second branch
temporarily nipped his Fauntleroy pants.
Other branches lower down did their part
in making hesitation for the law of grayl-
tation, but, eventually. the lad struck the
lawn mhurt, like John Robinson above
Father and mother at the foot of the tree

wheat in Argentine were jumping
quicker than the market in Chicago.
regardless of the fact that wheat here
and rye even more SO had established
a spectacular new top record again to-
day. The wheat market here closed
unsettled at &c net lower to 1c ad-
vance, May 1891 to 1874 and July 1.694
to 10. with corn 81 to SIC down, oats
Z to 1sc off and provisions varying
from 12c decline to an equal upturn.
In passing the news from Argentine
about rapidly rising prices for south
ern hemisphere wheat was n report
that labor troubles were spreading in
Australia, one of the chief other coun-
tries competing with the United
States. With prospects thus apparent
ly opening for increased European de-
mand for wheat from the United
States and Canada, general speculative
buying here on huge proportions. Some
observers expressed an opinion that
the total volue would prove to be the
largest on record
Unusual strength in the rye market
here tended greatly to stimulate the
wheat advance. Advinces were at
ing of rye -four at Bremen in Ger
many. At one time excited traders
here who were short of rye to fill out
standing contracts forced prices up
73c bushel for the May delivery.
Closing prices for rye were AZ to SIC
above yesterdays finish.
Difficulty in selling low-grade corn
| had a depressing effect on the corn
, market and also on oats.
Provisions. in line with the hog
| market, held about steady.
