WHEN his dramatic

Cid" elected the
thunderous applause Of
an enthusiastic audience.
Pierre Corneille was
borne forward in an on
rushing tide of popular
ity. He was lionized. Lit
erary France was figura-
lively at his feet. His
Selma" and "Polyeucte"
followed, and heightened
their authors mounting
fame.
But Corneille, not vet
forty, had come to the
end Of his career. From
"Rodogune" to "Oedipe"
his theatre was on the
decline. Although he al
ways commanded great
personal respect, his sue
cess was eclipsed by that
Of the rising Racine.
There are so many thou

In the rediscount rate of the Kansas
City federal reserve bank, there was
sharp division of opinion in Wall
Street as to whether similar action
would be taken by the New York
bank in the near future, conservative
bankers holding to the theory that no
immediate decrease was likely because
of the danger that it would be follow
ed by a further initiation in securities
prices.
Call money renewed at 81 per cent,
and then advanced to as banks call
ed about $25,000,000 in loans to pre-
pare for the heavy month-end demand
for funds. There was no change in
time money and commercial paper
rates, but Bankers acceptances eased
slightly.
/ u. S. Steel common was again the
leader of the market, moving up more
than 3 points to 1875, the highest
price since the distribution of the
stock dividend, and then sold down to
1855. Early buying was associated with
a report that the Mellon interests OF
Pittsburgh had acquired large block
of stock. The days sales in this issue
ran well over 25O,0O0 shares. Bethle-

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, July 20, (R-Big deliv-
cries here on July contracts had de-
cided bearish effect in the wheat mar
ket today. Extreme weakness of the
july delivery of rye counted also as a
depressing factor and so likewise did
fading away of fears of crop damage
by black rust.
Closing quotations on wheat were
heavy, IL cents to ~ cents net lower
with July rye 61a cents down, corn
Is cent to IL cents off, oats showing
Y cent to 15s cent decline, and pro-
visions unchanged to setback of IL
cents.
End of the month settlement OF
July contracts, especially in wheat ano
rye became the dominating influence
in the grain pits today. Deliveries OF
wheat to fill Chicago July contracts
were of exceptionally large volume
totaling more than 100000 bushels
but downward swings in price were
most pronounced in July Rye, which
at one time showed drop OF ga

cents, compared with yesterdays lin
ish. With the movement of the, new
rye crop beginning the rye market
lacked support and speculative hold
ers of July found considerable dltfl-
Guilty in adjusting accounts.
July and September deliveries OF
wheat came together in price today,
July losing its premium and for a brief
interval being at a discount under Sep
tember. Meanwhile, adviceS from the
northwest indicated that black rust
was making little or no headWay, IN
the face of favorable weather, and
leading authorities expressed bellet
that in the United States the spring
crop is now too far advanced to sui
fer material damage. Friends OF higher
prices for wheat we're also handicapped
by the fact that only limited amount
of export business appeared to be in
progress.
Beneficial rains tended to ease the
corn market and the forecast pointed
to additional showers. In July corn
there was no selling pressure OF con-
sequence, but July oats were liquid
ated freely. The movement OF new
oats is expected to increase from this
time on.

up more than points to a new high
top at 161. General Motors crossed 228
to a new peak, but encountered heavy
offering around that figure and sold
down to 1854, up e net.
Waves of selling swept through the
market at intervals, much of it un-
doubtedly inspired by repeated COM
mission house suggestions to take pro-
fits on the theory that a technical
reaction was warranted after the re-
cent sharp advance, but these were gen
orally we'll absorbed. The weekly mer-
camille reviews were slightly more op-
timistic. Dun'S stated that July was
closing with more activity in some
quarters and with more firmnesS in
comodity prices than appeared when
the month opened" Bradstreet's at
tributes the improvement to "the con-
tinuance of warm weather, a slightly
improved crop outlook, better buying
of cotton goods, and moderate ex-
pansion in steel orders and mill op-
erations"
The steady accumulation of such
high grade carriers as Atchison, South
ern Pacific and Union Pacific, all of
which reached new peak prices, attract
ed the most attention in the railroad
group. There were signs Of further
liquidation in the low priced carriers.

Did You Ever Stop
to Think?
By EDISON R. WAITE
Shawnee, Oklahoma

j. L. Hasbrouck, Editor of the Bloomington
Qllinois) Paragraph, says:
that one of the greatest miracles Of natrro
is oelng performed under your eye as YOU view the
breaking forth OF the foliage upon the trees in the
spring. The rude nakedness of winter is being
clothed as with the chiffon Of emerald The sun
hight shining through the millions of half formed
leaves upon thousand branches, weaves upon the
earth lace-Work Of rare design.
And how silently is this transformation
wrought! When man builds, he creates clatter
of hammer and chains and saw and rasping steel.
But amllllon trees in the springtme expend force
which would lift mountain, and put on robes
which queen might envy, and yet there is no
sound OF beating rivet, nor the clangor of forge
The trees in your own front yard have burst
forth almost full-leafed overnight, and yet not
sound of their vigorous activity has disturbed YOUR
sweet repose.
What If there were no miracle of the trees?
What if they stood through all the heated summer
stark and unadorned by leaf from top to lowest
branch? Instead Of blessing them for their shade
man would curse their hooking nakedness.
Consider, them what a debt we owe to the
trees in city or town or open country For the
miracle that is wrought along the treeined streets
is multiplied mion-fold in the forests of the ma
ton What vast asset are the trees to human well
fare From them at each recurring springtime we
receive new legacy of beauty and comfort. Then
should we not as citizens see that our part is done
to preserve, nurture and protect the trees which
others have planted for u.s. and that we, too, should
occasionally plant tree, or many trees for like
blessing to our chidren's children

SPRING IN CARBON

ol hl4NN I'm 1-AhDoAN
When the meadow lark is singing,
Pretty love songs to his mate,
When the bees are in the clover,
And the fish begin to bite,
Then the air is sweet and balmy,
And the young folks congregate,
To make plans for summer picnics,
In this land of pure delight.
You may know that winters over,
And that summers coming on,
And it's time to plan the garden,
Burn the thrash and rake the lawn,
When the distant scenic Beartooths,
Lure you with their dreamy haze,
1t is Spring in Carbon county,
Magic land of perfect days.
Of course, such sentimental thoughts
May be all right l guess,
But some of US who lack the time,
Can be truthful, none the less,
While others fish for Rainbows,
Speckled trout or Dolly Warden,
Spring to me in Carbon county,
Means I've got to spade the garden.

The pathway rugged and new,
Friendships we've made which never will fade
And the thoughts of parting, We rue
We entered the portals of learning, it's true
As class of one hundred and eight
We have toled and lost, we've been buied and bossed
No wonder we look so sedatel
Our last four years have been struggles and tears
We worried and toled-not in vain,
But that these years are over and gone.
We'd be willing to try it again.
The members of our class many and young,
We have lost along the way,
Though tasks have been many and harddo doubt
Our minds to them often will stray.
AS gay young Sophies froicked along,
As Juniors, played parts,
AS sober Seniors, minds are thronged
With thoughts of future marts.
We've slowly climbed up the ladder, Steep
The ladder to victory and fame
And though we've gained treasures an riches galore
To our classmates we're the same.

Though our lives be a smile or a SIGH
We will ever look back to the record class

best moonshine Ticker on earth?

turned an umbrella she borrowed?
IL. What Montana county leads in the

riage, have been expecting it for

reading the paper, that it must be
dangerous to marry women. I get the
idea that in the first place they mar

manage to take all of it they leave
you and sue you for alimony; and if
they fail at that, then they outlive
you to get your insurance.

tend a country school some seven
miles from home.
| agreed with them that their chill
dren are being robbed of some SEEM
ing advantages but on second thought
II rather conclude that a reasonable
, amount of privation and hardship of
ten prove to be twin blessings in dis
guise By that | do not mean that l
would deprive any child of his birth
right to an education and to the OPP
portunities to properly fit himself to
compete with his fellows in after life,
but what | am driving at is that the
country boy, who is deprived of the
easy opportunity of learning many,
many things, that it were better that
he never learned, is not to be pitied so
much after all.
Somehow or other it seems to me
that the farm home-the country
home-is about the only home there
is anymore. 1t is indeed far call
from the rural home to the so-called
city home which is used simply as
place to hang ones clothing and
sleep when one tires of every place
else and longs for change.
We Americans, whose proud boast
lit is that the home is the foundation
stone on which our government and
our civilization rests, are drifting far
afleld in our practices. We forget
sometimes that the home is Gods
greatest heritage to man; his most
noble gift to woman, and the birth
right of every child and that in its
cradles are rocked the destinies of
the human race.
Around its fireside love and friend
ship, laugh and play and human hap
piness springs into being and shouts
of joy echo through the corridors of
life. Around its doorstep ambition
builds cities, rules nations, and con-
quors commerce, and the desire to
achieve first sways the mind and then
hurls its challenge to the world. At
the woodshed obedience and honesty
are spanked into life and discipline
IS crowned ruler of human hearts.
At the family altar angels whisper
their message to mankind and soul
material enters the world, illuminat-
ing the pathway of life. At the moth
er's knee justice is enthroned in hui
man hearts, mercy is given her scep-
ter and truth is arrayed in all her
power and glory.
In the family library the greatest
miracles in the world are performed.
1T is there that the intellect bursts
forth and life unfolds like a rose in
all its beauty and glory. 1t is there
that the hunger for knowledge and
thirst for power-the greatest forces
IN life-take possession and real men
step out into the great world.
Is that the picture of the modern
city home? Well hardly. 1t is a crude
etching of country home. 1t cannot
be the picture of a city home where
too often dad is at the club, mother
IS out on an uplifting expedition and
son and daughter are attending the
latest salacious vaudeville show or
out raising hell on the streets.
