CLEAR YOUR HEART
By F. n. WALKER

CLEAR your heart of hate and go
forth in the morning with all your
being packed with love.
Try 1t today If you have not al
ready done so and experience in the
eventide the exhilarating sensation
which come to him or her who has
done his or her full duty to the human
kind.
Our greatest happiness, our sweet
est dreams, our roSiest realiZations,
our supremest joys come from proffer-
ing helping hand to the friendless
who are trudging up the hill alone.
forgotten in the crowds that sweep
ocean
Thousands of burden-b bearers all
about us are praying for sympathy
kindly word the touch Of gentle
hand which you and | can bestow by
being humane, thoughtful and consid-
crate
They are lonely, heart-broken de-
spondent, but doing their best to stem
the relentless tide threatening to
sweep them off their feet
Scatter smiles and get a smile in
return even though you are carrying
kit OF sorrow yourself
Learn who is your neighbor and
what your duty is toward him and
shirk not when duty calls.
Purge your heart Of pride and envy
March along with the noble hearted
whose lips are singing praises from
morn till night. and whose souls are
alight with eternal light.
Make this a joyous existence in
stead of one of tears and regrets laden
with care, dimmed with disbelief and
unlighted by single ray Of benefi-
cent faith.
Do these things and rise to an
eminence where there is an enduring
peace which cannot be measured or
weighed
Put forth thy hand in Gods name
and do for others the best YOU can
Be always patient, cheerful and char
table ASK no mans favor, but seek
to have it bestowed upon YOU as a
natural reward for the kindness you
have done to others.

NEW WHEAT KING
LOOMS IN CHICAGO
Cutten Regarded as Behind
Bull Drive Causing Sharp
Price Increase.
By Con solidated Press.

By Consolidated Press.
CHICAGO, December 4.-The wild
gyrations of the wheat market, which
have come this week to resemble IN
measure che excited days of year
ago, point to new wheat king" as
suming leadership of the previously
unorganized bull traders.
This king" if opinion on the
Board of Trade is accepted, is new for
the season, but tried in the stress of
kingship during the hectic S2-a-bushel
days of early 1925. The expressed
belief is that Arthur w. Cutten, the
principal power back of the last big
bull market, has again taken up in
earnest the side of the apostles of
higher prices.
Mr.. Cutten, however. denies that
he Is being honored with leadership
in the present market, which indicates
a leader in its jump of Is cents in
four days. But still the opinion pre-
vailing among traders is that he is
back in the bull throne, after being un-
seated with rumored tremendous losses
last March.
Advance Plans Upset.
What's been going on in the wheat
market, according to inside observers,
is this:
Foreign buyers. anticipating large
native crops. and especially large
crops in the Southern Hemisphere,
have held off making purchases. Can
ada. they figured. would supply imme-
diate needs, and Argentina furnish
any further requirements.
Suddenly the northern Argentine
crop was badly damaged, and reports
now say that central and southern
sections are deteriorating. Instead of
an estimated 165 900 ,000 bushels for
export. as foreigners anticipated.
there will be about 129 100000, on a
conservative estimate. This does not
offset the loss in the Australian crop,
which left only $1,000. .000 bushels for
export instead of 100000 bushels
anticipated.
Foreigners had sold immense guam
titles of wheat on the Chicago board
and had bought immense quantities
in Canada for future delivery. The
estimate is that the United States has
only about 5000, 900 bushels of wheat
per month available for export the re
mainder of the season.
Heavy Buying FORCED.
When foreign buyers realized their
prediCament. and prices started TO
skyrocket, they were forced TO make
tremendous purchases of wheat in
Chicago to cover their short sales. II
was at this time, according To Board
Of Trade opinion, that Mr.. cutten.

heavy buying of wheat for May de-
livery. Foreign markets have shot
up ahead of Chicago, but still the
local market is nearly 20 cents above
Winnipeg and far above other

question is whether Chicago can
maintain her position out of line with
other markets.
The bull leaders business, so long
as he remains a bull leader, is to
keep working for higher prices. So

prop of the wild markets of a year
ago, isn't in heavily on the buying
side. One bad burning was enough
But the insiders say that Mr.. Cut
ten is ready to try again.
Cutten's Rise Rapid.
Mr.. Cutten was a relatively un-
known member of the board of trade
here only little more than a year
ago. He saw at that time a possi
bility of a world shortage and was
one of the first to start acCumulat-
ing wheat for future delivery.
Through the early months he pyra
mided his holdings, and when the
big bull market of late 1924 started
he was a leader of the bulls. His
paper earnings were far up into the
millions.
Then came the crash of March,
1925, and Cutten was said to have
been caught with tremendous sup
plies OF wheat bought at high prices.
He is credited with having lost most
of the earnings he made in the bull
wheat market. Since then he has
been trading, but in no spectacular
way. With the present furry in
wheat prices he is emerging again
as one of the biggest traders, will
