Joe Schmidt has worked out several
rules for making your patent cigar
lighter work. Joe says try one of the
rules, and if it don't work, then try
another, and keep on that way until
you get a blaze.
L. Accuse lighter of not being
worth so cents. Lighter should feel
insulted and flame up in rage.
2. Offer lighter some synthetic
gin. Lighter viii sample it and ask
for another After several snifters
of the gin it should become lit.
8. Show lighter an ordinary safe
ty match Demonstrate how easily
and regularly it will light, how con-
venient it is in every way. Lighter
should then get ashamed of itself and
begin to burn with envy.
A. Show lighter some very success
full man. Tell it how he got to be so
successful. Lighter will realize its
own low position and will long for
better things and perhaps be fired by
ambition.
If your lighter don't work after
you've tried all these rules, put it back
in your pocket and keep it to offer
any boob who asks you for light.

GRAINS TURN UPWARD
FROM SEASONS LOWS
Corn and Wheat Sag Early at Chi

Rallies Follow.

By the Associated Fress.
CHICAGO, October 21.-For the
third day in succession, wheat and
corn dropped under the seasons previ-
Gus low price record today. Excellent
weather to speed threshing of wheat
and to condition the corn crop was
largely responsible. Starting at Il to
"a decline. wheat underwent a slight
further setback and then rallied. Corn
opened a to 7s down, sagged little
more and later turned upgrade. Oats
were easy. Provisions had a down
ward slant.
Effects of greatly improved condi-
tions for threshing were illustrated by
assertions today that deliveries of
wheat by Canadian farmers yesterday
totaled GAIA 900 bushels. exceeding by
more than !, ,OO0, 900 bushels the record
breaking total of the day before. In
addition to the increased Canadian
movement word was at hand that
Argentine wheat shipments this week
had reached a surprising total Of
1902, 900 bushels against 211,000
bushels year ago.
Trade sentiment in regard to corn
was much mixed today, with talk in
some quarters that liquidation on the
part Of holders had run its course.
Further inquiry for cash co~a to be
shipped from gulf port- was noted

COTTON ADVANCES
AFTER EARLY SAG
Rallies on Increased Trade
Demand-Brings About
Reversal of Trend.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 21.--An open
ing decline of II to Is points under
continued Southern selling and liqui-
dation attracted increased trade de-
mand in the cotton market today. A
large volume of offerings was alb
sorbed on the decline to 1916 for De-
cember and 1911 for March, the
market soon turning firmer.
BY the end of the first hour, De!
cember had rallied to 1915 and March
to 19 81, or about 25 to 80 points from
the lowest and to IL points above
yesterdays closing quotations.
Early selling was promoted by rel
atively easy Liverpool cables and a
favorable weather map, but the further
decline seemed to bring in realizing by
recent sellers, and buying for trade
account.
The rally from the early low level
carried the price Of December con-
tracts up to 1890, or about 25 points
above yesterdays closing quotations.
Further trade buying and covering
was reported and there may have been
some buying on reports that spot
offerings were smaller in the South
west, but the advance met little more
selling when there were rumorS of
bearish private crop figures. Decem-
Der eased off to 1852, the general mar
ket at midday ruling about 3 points
lower to points above yesterday s
closing quotations.
