CHICAGO, December 9.-Favorable

Of corn, together with broadening out
of the corn crop movement, did a good
deal today to weaken the corn market.
Primary receipts Of corn today aggre-
gated 1 ,092, 900 bushels. compared with
812,0 900 bushels last week and CAT 900
bushels a year ago. Somewhat better
export demand for wheat, and the fact
that the Liverpool wheat market was
relatively firm. helped to rally wheat
from early setbacks that were asso-
ciated with the corn weakness.

AS far as the errand was con-
cerned, it made no difference
which of the children performed
it. But think of encouraging that
attitude in irresponsible Betty.
When she was a little tot she
was careless and thoughtless.
That was when she first began
hearing her mother say, You
can't depend upon Betty. She is
so forgetful."
Betty being of butterfly ma

one interest to another, found
comfort in her mothers leniency.

To be reliable is to become one

valuable no matter how brilliant
or charming or capable they may
be.

Bobbie glanced at him, too. But

On the grounds oe one bulb CONF
