WHEAT CLOSES FIRM.
Prices Average Higher Due to Crop
Holding Reports.

CHICAGO. September II tP.-Wheat
prices averaged higher today, helped by
increasing attention being given to talk
Of a decided holding policy on the part
Of domestic Spring wheat farmers.
Friends of higher prices put special
stress on reports of remarkably large
numbers of storage tanks bought in the
Northwest for the purpose TO holding
wheat. In some quarters, 1t was as
serted that such a course among United
States farmers, combined with holding
policy by the Canadian growers pool
might result in at least moderately adj
vancing prices from time to time. Ex-
port demand for wheat from North
America today was better, totaling about
100000 bushels.
Wheat closed firm, y to y net higher,
corn "a to ia up oats, showing Il to
% advance, and provisions varying from
cents decline to a rise, of Is cents.

IT TAKES
ALL-bRAN
To RELIEVE:
CONSTIPATION

More and more people are eating
bran for "health's sake" these days.
And it's fine thing. But not every
body realizes what difference there
is in so-called "brans." Doctors say
it takes 1909 bran to supply
enough roughage to relieve consti-
patton. Part-bran products, at best,
can only be partly effective.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is 10o9o
bran. 1t furnishes roughage in
effective quantities-and in the
most effective form: cooked and
krumbled. 1t does work part-bran
products cannot hope to equal. Two
tablespoonfuls daily-chronic cases,
with every meal-are guaranteed
to relieve constipation.
Serve ALL-BRAN often. With
milk or cream-fruits or honey
added. Be sure you get genuine
Kellogg's though-in the red-and-
green package. Use it in cooking.
Sprinkle into soups. ALL-BRAN
is sold by all grocers. Served every
where. Made by Kellogg in Battle
Creek.

Special Assemblies.-We had spe.
cial assembly last Thursday and two
very interesting speeches were Civ
en- on Fire Prevention Week, one by
Fire Chief Tom Reams and the 9TH
er by A. E. Mcfarland, state fire
underwater. Among many other in
teresting things he said Is school
houses are burned every "a hours.
This caused much handclapping by
the children.
Another assembly was called on
Columbus day. We had very in
teresting play. which was dramatic
ed by the different dramatic classes
of the school. The play was taken
from the poem, Columbus" which
was written by Joaquin Miller.
There were also several more rather
clever poems, which were given by
the different students. Every one
seemed to enjoy the program very
much.
Wilson Athletics.-Athletics for
physical education are to be con-
Quoted quite differently this year
from last year. This year the
students are divided into groups.
There are three groups of boys and
three of girls, the boys group hav-
ing Mrs. Voss, Mr.. Davies, and Miss
Dunlap as leaders while the girls
have Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Gruwell and
Mrs. Smith. The students were di-
vided so that both the poorest play
ers and the best are not separated
but are both in the same groups.
For the first few weeks everyone
will play indoor baseball. The first
thing that they did was to elect a
captain and manager who will ar
range for games with other groups.
