Chicago Produce Market

Estimates which We're current that
new export business totalled l,oUuooo
bushels and that farm reserves have
been reduced 23.000,000 bushels or
moIe compared with Il year ago, did
good deal to lift the wheat market
today. Closing prices on wheat were
strong, / to 2I cents net higher, May
1900 to 1907 and July 1889 to 1889.
with corn ! to o4c up, oats showing
to &c advance and provisions un-
changed to &c higher.
Notwithstanding Il weak start due
to lower quotations at Liverpool, the
wheat market here soon began TO
climb and in the end went above Sl.9O
u bushel, May delivery. Indications
that exporters had purchased 500.uOO
bushels at Omaha and Kansas city
and were buying elsewhere, too, were
largely responsible for the initial up
ward tendency which values developed.
Meanwhile gossip was afloat that Ar
gentine wheat was no longer available
abroad at prices under wheat from the
United States. AS the day wore on 1T
became evident that Europe was buy
ing from this country both at the sea-
board and the Interior. In consequence
values here continued to rise.
Helped by assertions that domestic
farm reserves of wheat would range
from "6. 6.000,000 to 1lJ,000.O00 bushels
as against 13S,00o,000 bushels last
year, inc wheat lndi net Itdtfltu tiic

strength in the corn market was like
wise contributing factor in the late
advance of wheat. The government
figures on farm reserves of grain will
be issued on March 3.
Trade in corn and oats was greatly
influenced by reports that the official
statement on farm reserves of corn
will show unusually small stocks in
the country. Dealings in corn today
were much more active than of late.
With hogs at new top price rec
ord for the season and with corn also
tending upward. the provision market

Hints on Right Way to
Paint Galvanized Iron

Galvanized iron can't be painted
just any old way. There are only
two methods of doing it, and no
more Otherwise it will rust.
This is one way: Wash the sur
face with acid, prime it with lead
and oil and coat it with ordinary
paint.
This is the other method: Coat tha
iron with a special paint prepared
for the purpose, no preliminary
preparation being necessary.
1t is estimated that one gallon will
cover 500 square feet, and two coats
of paint are sufficient. Ordinary
paint will not adhere 10 the iron
without treatment, and the paint
that is prepared for the purpose Is
of such material that it neutralizes
the acid coating on the iron and
forms bond with the metal.

QUEER REPLIES MADE
BY SOME SEEKING
CIVIL SERVICE JOBS

Ingenious reasoning may at times
serve in the absence of accurate in
formation. but it is not always a
safe substitute. This was the gen
e%ralization formulated by Carl V.
King, secretary of the Los Angeles
civil service board, after going over
the examination papers of a class
of candidates recently. seeking
municipal employment.
What is a labor distribution
sheet" was one question. A can
didate, evidently relying upon his
reasoning faculty rather than
knowledge. replied. Zone that is
edited by the laboring class in the
form of a newspaper and is dis
tributed for the purpose of keeping
their fellowmen enthusiastic"
To the question, What is arson?"
another candidate replied. THE act
of trying to poison a person with
arsenic
Other questions and answers
were:
Q. What is a morgue?
A. A piece of paper held against
property for borrowed money.
Q. What does habeas corpus
mean?
A. The red corpuscles in the
blood.
Q. What is a kleptomaniac?
A. a person with a mania caus-
ing him to lie unnecessarily.
@. What is a moron?
A p,,p ,uba ba. ,,a,o tI,, o,o
wife.
Answers found in the examination
papers of another class revealed
that the motor truck still holds
mysteries for some, even in this
mechanical age.
What causes heavy black smoke
to come out of the exhaust pipe of
a truck" the class was asked.
1T is the only place it can come
out" replied a candidate.
What is the purpose of a fan on
a motor truck?" was another ques-
ton.
ITO supply fresh air to the car
%buretor." was one answer
Give a reason why a motor
truck fails to start when cranked,"
directed the examiner.
"a motor truck will sometimes
fail to start if the driver is too
weak to crank it," answered one
job seeker.
"If you found a man with a
severe cut on the head that was
bleeding freely, what would you
do?" another class was asked.
81 would put a turniquet on his
neck" announced one student of
first aid.

LOOK OUT FOR
SELF POISONING

Neglect of the liver results in self
%poisoningi Not so quick, perhaps.
but just so surely as if you drank
poison out of a bottle. If your liver
is not doing its work of helping di-
gestion. eliminating waste from the
bowels and purifying the blood, you.
will always be troubled with sick
headaches, nausea. biliousness, bad
breath. gas, sour stomach, or con-
stipation.
Cleanse and tone your liver, Put
your system in condition so you feel
your very best again! Try just a
spoonful of DR.. H. S. Thacher's ex-
cellent Liver and Blood Syrup after
the next few meals and notice the
quick improvement in the way you
eat, sleep, look and feel-the return
of strength, vigor and energy. You
will be completely satisfied; other
wise there will be no cost.

YELLOWSTONE MINIATURE
PARADISE SAY EASTERNER

ITO my mind, Yellowstone Ma
tional park might be termed a min
iature paradise on earth, for a pic
turesque glimpse of paradise can
nowhere be obtained as it can here"
Such vas the expression of A. c..
Caldwell, of Philadelphia, Pa, in a
letter to superintendent Horace NJ.
Albright and Frederick j. Haskin,
director of the Washington informa-
ton bureau, following his trip to
the park recently.
Further, everything that has been
said about Yellowstone most cer-
tainly has not been exaggerated, and
if anyone were to travel through
the western part of our country with
the intention of visiting Yellowstone
and 1 should say hat if anyone is
to make u tour of the west and
should fail to visit this glorious
place. he would sustain an meal
cuable loss which could not be
duplicated by any substitute-my
suggestion would be that they first
visit all other points of interest in
their itinery and make Yellowstone
ll6 nHdl NlSll VI lhOIi JOuIHtg ,
otherwise they will be greatly dis
appointed should they decide t. visit
the park first and subsequently visit
the other points of interest, for the
latter will not contain the thrill or
hold the interest of the traveller as
it ordinarily would if the most i'm
portant part of the journey is left
to the end. This vas my experience,
and all the beauties in Colorado
and Utah, with the formers tower
ing peaks, did not compare with the
scenic wonders to be seen in Vel
lowstone, with its great falls. grand
canyon, high mountains, etc. The
experience of my recent trip thru
Yellowstone park will always live
in my memory. eve to be forgot

According to Adam Stein. Jr., man

ment, General Electric Company, THE
ultimate object of tests in the use of

This laboratory said Mr.. Stein,

h should, to some extent. ten to
decrease the effect of static and
other disturbances.
Second, the use of high power al
the transmitting station may appre-
ciably decrease the extent to which
fading at present interferes with re-
ception. The extent to which super
power may help fading is still one
of the unknown facts, and one of the
problems which it is the purpose OF
these tests to determine.
Third. the effect of superpower is
to increase the range of the trans
mitter so that the program can be
satisfactorily received over a greater
area, and hence provide better serv-
ice both day and night"
