For Young People

Philadelphia April 15.-(P)-Fun,
freedom and frankness are recon-
mended in the ten commandments for
young people" compiled by the Rev.
John r.. Hart. Jr., student pastor at
the University of Pennsylvania and
rector of the Church of the Transfig-
uration. The young minister points
out, to be good in the eyes of the fol-
lowers of such creed it is necessary
not to go to extremes or to be too
frequent habitues of bar rooms or
pool rooms.
Mr.. Hart divides the commandments
in three sections-the problem of sex
relationship. the question of religious
faith and the problem of vocations.
His first commandment is, Adjust
yourself to modern freedom. Learn
to draw lines for yourself now that
convention does not draw them for
you" Then follow Get all the fun
you can out of life so long as you
don't betray the mutual trust of
friends and the faith of your parents.
Play straight-don't spike man at
base Realize that you are the only
person in the world with the power to
accomplish certain things. Personali-
ty is divine and one should be frank
instead of talking in generahties."

Worcester Man
Asks Housewives
To Limit Potatoes

Worcester, Mass. April 15.-(P)-
The suggestion made yesterday to
the Worcester housewives by j.
Charles May. president and treasurer
OF one Of this city's largest whole
sale produce houses, that they limit
their consumption of potatoes as the
only effective means of combating
eXorbitant prices demanded as a re-
suit of the alleged operations of out
side spectators, is said to be meet
ing with ready response. A parti-
cularly helpful factor is prompting
the housewives to accept this advice
was the practically overnight in
crease in the retail price from $1.15
to S1.20 and $1.25 peck.
With reference to the comment of
w. l.. Martin of Bangor, Me-, one of
Names largest potato wholesalers
that existing prices are what might
reasonably be expected in accordance
with the law of supply and demand
Mr.. May said this morning:
LAS potato speculator. Mr. Mar
tin has his strong points, but as a
political economist his arguments
lack in the appeal to reason.
AN increased demand for a legi-
timately limited supply is legitimate
cause for a legitimate price increase.
But when the demand is normal or
sub-normal and the supply is made
fictitiously below normal by boarding
the normal supply, such boarding
forces a fictitious price at the ex-
pense OF the consumer and to the
great profit of the manipulation.
Give us one week of warm wealth
er and the potato spectators will be
on their knees asking us to take car
load lots at our own figures, and the
law of supply and demand will quick
ly adjust itself"

Probably in Toronto and at Brown
University at Providence, r. l.. a
better vision of the phenomenon was
had than elsewhere. In both places
it was declared to have been both
vivid and extensive. In the Canadian
city, where the aurora borealis is no
uncommon sight, the display was
unique by reason of the fact that the
silver bands of light waved fanlike
not alone in the northern sky but al
so in the east and at one place even
in the southeast.

Washington, April 15.-Employ-
ment in manufacturing industries in
March decreased 0.6 per cent, while
payroll totals increased or per cent.
according to preliminary report
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the U. S. Department of Labor.
The Bureaus Index of Employment

in March, though small, indicates an
upward tendency.

combined earnings in one week were
$S1 ,742, 1913.

May Is Prejudiced

Bangor, Me. April 15.-(P)-When
informed of the statement made to-
day by Charles May, wholesale pro-
duce dealer of Worcester, Mass. in
regard to the present alleged inflated
potato prices, William H. Martin of
this city, wholesale potato dealer,
who has taken exceptions to Mr..
Mays analysis of the market. said:
THE plain fact is that Mr.. May
has demonstrated his entire lack of
sympathy with the Aroostook deal
ers. In saying this I speak conserva-
lively. He is deliberately opposing
their legitimate interests.
He is more interested in this than
in the sale of Maine potatoes. That
is the simple truth, and there is no
reason VIII" we should be silent under
fire. ,.. ... ....
There Is and has been no attempt
to force fictitious values. Personally,
! am not loaded UP with potatoes or
anything of the kind. I am just buy
ing from hand to mouth"

Chicago Produce Market
(By the Associated Press

chicago, April 10.
Soaring prices in the wheat market
today resulted from big export sales
and from unfavorable conditions for
the new crop of spring wheat in the
northwest. Closing quotations on
wheat were strong, Ii to 4c net higher.
to 1.419. Corn finished IL to lac up,
oats at &c to SC gain, and provisions
varying from 10c decline to a rise of
22c. European purchasing of North
American wheat today for immediate
shipment was estimated to aggregate
100000 bushels, and was accompa-
MED by heavy general absorption of
future deliveries.
Active selling to realize profits for
holders failed to check the upward
swing of values except during. brief in
tervals. As a result the clase was
near the days top level. Unexpected
strength in Liverpool quotations did
much to accelerate the upturns here,
being ascribed to renewed demand
from British millers and to active
buying on the part of European con-
tinental countries.
At the top Chicago May delivery of
wheat showed an advance of about
12c bushel as compared to prices
current at one time last week. The
premium for May over July widened
to 26a per cent. In this connection it
was asserted by some authorities that
Chicago July delivered is the cheap
est in the world, and that this market
is on shipping basis to Liverpool,
all rail to New York
Throughout the day wheat traders
friendly to higher prices gave empha-
sis to close adjustments of world
needs and supplies and to shortage of
domestic stocks. Serious lack of rain
in South Dakota and a forecast of
colder weather together with reports
of greatly delayed seeding were also
the subject of special notice Corn
and oats assembled with wheat. Buy
ing on the part of previous sellers was
notable feature of the corn market.
Provisions develop firmness, re-
spending to the upward trend both of
hog values and of grain.
