bUCkNER SPEAKS
AT ROTARY MEETING

Rev. Arthur Buckner was the
speaker at the Rotary luncheon
held yesterday noon at the Elm
wood. His subject comprehended
man as he is today, his hopes, as
pirations. ambitions and achieve
ments. He said that the man of
the present is the product of yester-
day, even as everything with which
we come in contact during our daily
lives is a product of the past. He
cited many interesting examples rel
ative to the inevitable manner in
which we cling to the dead past in
all our daily occupations. The books
from which we read, the clothing
we wear, the food we eat, ell are
associated with the ever prolific
past to which we owe so much. The
art of printing was an achievement
of ages long fled, our alphabet went
back centuries, likewise everything
else that enters into our existence.
The past is ever with US.
The speaker was emphatic in his
expression that the world today is
more eager for truth, for UNDER
standing. The desire for coopera-
ton is stronger, even cooperation
among the churches. The world is
making progress.
"How best to serve" he said
was the big question of the age.
Terms are coming to have greater
meanings. The word brother" has
a greater significance than in days

Chicago Produce Market
Chicago. Dec. 81


Unexpected big falling off in the
United States wheat visible supply did
a good deal to hoist wheat values to-
day at the last. Moreover, a severe
cold wave was in prospect, with do
nestle winter wheat represented as,
virtually bare of any covering of snow
to protect the crop. Wheat closed
firm, to II net higher, corn g. to
off, oats to ! up, and provisions I'M
changed to 80 cents down.
Announcement that domestic visible
stocks of wheat showed 4,530,000
bushels decrease today, a much great
er shrinkage than had been looked for,
was promptly followed by a decided
rally from price setbacls which ear
lier had been the rule. Then, too, re-
ports began to pour in telling of lack
of snow protection against low tenn
peratures predicted for the entire win
ter wheat region of the United States.
Under such circumstances the market
climbed quickly and the finish was at
the days tip top figures.
Prior to the late advance wheat
values We're dominated to consider
able extent by reports that the Argen-
tine harvest was making rapid pro-
gress and that new wheat of excellent
quality was on the move to Argentine
ocean ports. Current trade gossip said
also that crop damage in Argentina
was less serious than had been report
ed. that European demand for North
American wheat continued slow pend
ing a further downturn of ocean
freight rates, and that price setbacks
were largely due to inferior wheat at
Liverpool being graded as contract.
Corn prices headed downward today
in anticipation of a bigger run of re-
ceipts. On the other hand the IN
crease of $4,000 bushels shown by WIS.,
ible stocks of corn was less than had
been expected. Oats were responsive
to a reduction of 2,595,00 bushels in
the oats visible supply.
Provisions sympathized with a sharp
drop in hog values.

that as Democratic whip he was conf
dent he could muster sufficient sigma

There are 1872 Democrats in the
House. Oldfield Is confident of OBJ

Garner also expressed confidence
that the necessary votes from Republic
can ranks could be obtained.

number of Republicans whoa favor tax
reduction" he asserted. I'VE propose
to give them an opportunity to go on
record for 1t.

to the basis of SIS for Cuban duty
paid. Sales were $4,000 bags of Cuban
to a local refiner at SIS and $4,000
bags to an outport refner at 5.21; both
for December shipments; the latter
price representing new high record
for the season.
Aside from little irregularity at
the start, raw sugar futures were
firm, on active buying for trade and
Cuban account, as we'll as considerable
demand from commission houses,
prompted by the strength in the spot
market and firmness abroad. Prices
at one time showed net gains of five

months making new high records for
the season, but at these levels partial
setbacks followed realizing, with the
close three to seven points net higher.

land, charged by Albert Bickford, al
SO of Oakland, with the larceny Of
automobile parts, was heard before
Judge Charles w. Atchley in the
municipal court yesterday afternoon.

Oakland, Bickford said he found that
several parts of his car had been de-
tached, amounting, according to his
valuation, to $4955.

been taken off, and that they were
worth $3.50 each; a tail light,
worth s1.50, distributor head valued
at $1,000, two cushions, worth $1,000,
a coil which he said would cost $500
to replace, spark plugs and other
small parts.
Kelly entered no defence, and the

Oriental Bazaar
By Christian Endeavor

Community House presented a
beautiful appearance Monday after
noon when the doors opened at 1880
for the second annual Oriental ba-
zaar given under the auspices of the
Christian Endeavor Society Of the
United Baptist church. The stalls
and booths were very prettily deco
rated with evergreen and Japanese
flowers. Directly at the right of the
main entrance one came to the
punch bowl" prettily decorated and
presided over by Miss Rosalie Mosh-
er assisted by several other young
ladies; next to this was the candy
stall where one could buy sweets
to suit all tastes. This was presided
over by Mrs. Ross Baker. Next to
the candy booth was the variety box

and Mrs. Alton Wood. Here one
could purchase hand made articles,
Japanese handkerchiefs and many
other articles. Mrs. Francis Brenauer
was in charge of the Japanese art
and novelty stall. Here is where one
can purchase almost anything in this
line. There were handsome lamp
shades, table covers, tiny fans,
soap containers beads, incense burn
ers, parasols, all displayed in a very
elaborate array. Mrs. Fern Hough-
ton was noticed at one stall the Jap
anese china stall, where very hand
some china tea sets were noticed, be-
sides cups, saucers and other small
japanese wares such as salt and
pepers, bud vases. Going across the
flood one came to the wishing well

Bernauer and majic thimble-with a
dime small or large article could

worth the piece. Mrs. Alice Wing as
sisted by Mrs. Ernest Bates was

tine could be served at a nominal
price. In the evening Lee Warren

try chop suey supper was served
from 5 to 7 which drew a good sized
crowd and a good sum of money was
realized from this feature of the ba-
zaar. Tonight the entertainment will
consist of local talent with two play

years, provides that a majority of the
House-21S members-can, by circu-
lating a petition, take a bill from COM
mittee and call 1t up on the floor for
consideration.
, Decision to employ this procedure
was agreed upon today by Democratic
leaders as a last resort to bring from
the ways and means committee the
1885, 100000 Democratic tax reruction
measure which was tabled Saturday
along with all other revenue proposals.
The vote in committee then was
strictly along party lines, Republicans
solidly' lined up against and the Demo-
Gratis as unit voting for considera-
ton of tax bill at this time.
Circulation of a petition, however,
must be postponed 80 days as the rule
cannot be made operative until COM
mittee has been given that much time
to act, even though it has voted to
sidetrack a measure.
While House Democrats were de-
termining on a course of procedure,
Secretary Mellon at the treasury made
the calculation that the public debt
would be reduced nearly S1,OoO,OuO,00U
during the present fiscal year If no
credit to taxpayers is authorized and
no revenue bill passed.
In addition to the $3.50 100000 sur
plus which he figures will be available
for debt reduction and can be applied
without congressional authorization,
1855, 900 would be available from
the regular sinking fund and from war
debt payments.
At the house both Representatives
Carrot, the minority leader, and Gar
ner of Texas, the Democratic financial
spokesman, asserted they would not
accept the verdict of the Republican
majority in the committee. They con-
tended the treasury surplus, estimated
by Garner at $500,000,0O0, warranted
a lowering of revenue rates.

Piles Go Quick

Thousands who have piles have not
