DAWES BOWS
TO HIS FATE
Becomes Diner Out Like
Predecessors.

BU Times Special
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2t.-Hell-
Maria Dawes, the fire-eating Vice
President. who started out to tame
the Senate, has subsided into the
official "diner-out" of the Admins
tration, as all other Vice Presidents
before him have done.
The vice presidential job consists
of snoozing in the Senate all after
noon and wearing the official soup
and fish at night. A Vice President
without a dress suit would be as
helpless as one of Henry Ford s
workmen without his overalls. The
long-tailed coat. the hard-boiled
shirt and indigestion go with the
job.
That's because the President and
his wife never accept invitations
other than from members Of their
official family. The Vice President
is the biggest homegrown fish a
Washington hostess can land and
always is in demand to grace guest
lists.
However, Dawes has tried TO force
cloture on Washington dinner
parties, with more success than on
the Senate. He has let it be known
that while he can be counted on as
the ranking diner-out OF the Cool
idge Administration, he can't stay
late. So dinners where the Vice
President and his wife are honor
guests usually break UP early
around 10 p. m.-though the fashion
able dining hour in Washington
society means sitting down TO the
table at eight.

CORN CHI HAMPEON
after 10 YEARS
Hoosier Farmer Learned to
Take a LiCking.'

How to take a licking is one bit OF
knowledge garnered In the seed-corn
competition, L. M. Vogler, Batholo-
new County farmer declared in a
recent article in Farm and Ffreside.
Vogler tried for eighteen years to
grow the best ten ears of seed corn
in America and finally succeeded in
winning first prize at the 1925 Ma
tional Corn Show.
But while striving for the grand
prize, Vogler and his father built
up a seed-corn business that brings
in around $4,000 "a year, won 300
ribbons at various exhibitions and
doubled their average corn yield on
parts Of their farm.
For five years in a row they
grazed national sweepstakes with
out ever making it and never opened
their faces-except to grim" said one
of the corn show officials.
"You learn how to take a licking
and laugh it off" Vogel said. IT'S
a real sport and if you finally do
manage to put the other fellow sec
ond-best, for a change, you feel right
good"

GRAIN MARKET
IS IRREGULAR
All Future Wheat Deliveries
FractionaIIy Lower.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.--Grain prices
opened irregular on the Chicago
Board of Trade today.
All future wheat deliveries except
July were fractionally lower at the
outset, largely in sympathy with new
price levels In wheat pools in the
Argentine. July wheat WAS strength
ened by recent short selling that is
known to have taken place. The ma
iority of market students are of the
opinion that higher prices cannot be
expected unless a broader buying
power develops.
The same factors that caused yes
terday's upturn in corn-nght re-
ceipts and a strong cash market
gave the trade In corn futures added
strength today and prices were frac-
tionally higher at the opening.
Trading in oats was slow and first
sales showed prices unchanged from
yesterdays close.
Provisions opened weak.
