Chicago Produce Market

Chicago. July S.-(P).
sumo measure of relief from parch-
ing weather conditions northwest
tended to ease down wheat values to-
Gay. Crop reports. however, about
spring wheat remained distinctly ad-
verse. The wheat market here closed
unsettled, SC to lsc net lower, Corn

losses ranging from 5 to Acc.
Cooler temperatures northwest as
Wen as heavy Canadian rains did much
70 prlng about profit taking sales on
the part of previous buyers of wheat.
Inc TACT, though, that moisture over
the spring crop states appeared to
consist principally of showers was
given special attention on account of
the persistence of damage reports. One
authority in particular said there is
no doubt at present that the wheat
crop Of South Dakota will be one of
the poorest in the states history.
Broadening out of the harvest area
for wheat, both domestic and Euro
pean, counted more or less as an in
f1uence in the direction of lower prices.
Cutting of new wheat is expected to
part of Illinois and Ohio next week
and advices were at hand today that
with better weather new crops are al
ready being cut in Roumanis, southern
France, Italy and Spain.
Despite liberal arrivals Of new
wheat at domestic primary points,
nevertheless, quotations on some
grades available for immediate deliv-
cry were higher here, with Minneapo-
lis and Kansas City cash prices rela-
lively unchanged to lie up. Minneapo-
lis reported that mills were good buy
ers of wheat there on declines. Ex-
port business on wheas today was
moderate.
Corn was responsive to a better
shipping demand. Messages from the
seaboard told of corn having been
worked for export at the best pre-
mlums this season. Oats followed
wheat.
Provisions went lower. in line with
| hog values.

the colors which are best for them,
and DR.. Harold Pritchard. who has
made a special study of children and
their ailments. thinks it is a. great
mistake for parents to decide what
colors their youngsters shall wear.
"A healthy child instinctively likes
the colors which are best for it." said
DR.. Pritchard. Most normal chill
dren like yellow and green, which are
the best colors for little folks as they
are most restful, Red is also an ex
cellent color because it attracts light
and children need all the light they
can GET
only unhealthy children will
choose sombre colors, he said.

mayed by a heavy rain, Mr.. Coolidge
was early astir at the camp after a
long sleep, and took a walk in the
woods of White Pine Camp. But in
the afternoon, with bad weather con-
tinuing, he remained inside before a
huge log fire enjoying the relaxation
from official cares which is to be his
for several weeks. Then, when the
skies cleared late inn the day. he again
strolled under the trees of the camp
before going to dinner and another
quiet evening.
The work Of settling the camp
meanwhile continued undated. as in
dications of quickening interest on the

license Mr.. Coolidge wears pinned or

and manifests every pride in it.
With the president Republican and

Crowley and which figured largely in
the fight against contamination of the
