WHEAT CLOSES
UNCHANGED TO
HIGHER IN PIT
Corn Weak to Lower; Oats
Held UneVenIy
Steady.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 21.-Wheat flu
lures finished with practically none
OF their opening gains today due to
the pressure Of professional traders,
who sold on the late easineSs at
winnipeg and the belief that the
decreased prospects in the south
west have been discounted fully.
The December delivery alone fin
ished higher for the session. Corn
was weak on the continued favor
able growing weather, but oats held
unevenly steady.
At the close wheat was unchanged
to % cent higher, corn was off Il
to q cents and oats were Is cent
lower to a cent higher. Provisions
were uneyenly higher.
The crop deterioration reports
coming from Kansas and Oklahoma
gave wheat an active opening day,
with prices advancing as much at
IL cent on the December delivery,
but the realization that levels are
about II cents above the low time
a few weeks ago made traders eau
tious and the market turned quiet
again during the morning. Liver
pool and Winnipeg we're strong
early on the renewed dry weather
complaints from the Canada north
west. Cash prices were unchanged.
Receipts were forty-Seven cars.
Corn was strong with wheat at
the start but, as realizing sales cut
down advances in the small grain,
soon worked off most Of its gains.
During the morning prices held
around yesterdays close in a light
trade. Crop news was generally ia
vorable and receipts continued
heavy. Cash prices were u to u
cent lower. Receipts were thirteen
cars.
Oats were quiet and without spe-
cisi feature. Cash prices were I'M

In the Cotton Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, June 21-The cotton
market continued its show Of strength
against sales prompted by continued good
weather While the weather has been
generally fair in the cotton belt for the
past week temperature have not been high
enough to check the spread OF weevilS and
modify its fears of great damage from
this source Manchester is talking about
a reduced wages scale and poor business.
textile affairs are now directed by men of
great ability and we feel confident that
the situation from mill standpoint will
the near future. Another week of dry
weather will bring in many complaints
and possibly start a crop scare. We favor
the long side of the market.

DIARY OF VICTIM
OF PER MONTH PLAN

The following article appeared
in the White Bear (Minn.) Press.
1t depicts the troubles of a man
who plunged too deep on the in
stallment plan. 1t portrays what
may happen. and contains some
truths as we'll as humor.
Jan. 4th-Bought an automobile
today. Very easy terms. Very fine
car with cigar lighter on dash.
Ought to finish payments on this
in eighteen months.
Feb. 4th.-Paid installments due
on a Bought a radio set ON easy
terms. Fine set and payments will
be small and monthly.
March TIA little late with
payment on the car this month
and will have to let the radio pay
ment go over until April, as 1
have bought a set of books and
paid S11.00 down. Very fine books.
Everybody should have this set of
books.
April 15.-Borrowed $4,000 from
the boss to meet payment on car.
The radio man came to take away
the set, but we put out the lights
and weren't home. The chump
hung around all evening so 1
could not see to read the books.
June 1st.-Borrowed $4,000
from Uncle George to pay the $50
| borrowed from the boss and also
meet payment on the car. Got be-
hind a little on the book payments
because | bought a new real es-
tate development. This land ought
to jump in value. Paid $50 down.
Aog 15.-Somehow | don't miss
the radio so much and you can get
plenty of books from the public
library. The thing that hurts is
that Uncle George should be so
mean. Of course I told him I'd DAY
back the $4,000 on August 1st:
but you can't do the impossible
can you? Trying to arrange a
character loan from the bank. If
| a borrow S250.00 l can get
square again and everything will
go fine.
Aug. 16th.-Bank says 1 have no
character. What a bunch Of
crooks.
Sept. 30th.-The garage man is
holding the a for the labor bill.
What right have they to hold the
1t doesn't belong to me
Oct. 1st.-It wasn't any use. I
had to let the a go. Anyway I'd
have that piece of land.

MODERN GOOD SAMARITAN
The international Uniform Sunday School Lesson for December 8.
The Modern Good Samaritan: Who Is Ee2-Matt. 25:31-46.


THE title of our lesson suggests
the Importance of reading in
connection with it the story of the
Good Samaritan, found in the tenth
chapter of Luke.
1t was the great characteristic of
Jesus as a teacher that. while per
haps more than any other he laid
the profound stress upon deep prin-
ciples of action, enunciating love
as the only adequate and dominat-
ing motive of the good life, he put
the emphasis at the same time
supremely upon actual conduct,
even bringing this emphasis into
the realm of concrete deeds. He
has set for the world a great ex-
ample in the way in which he com
bined teaching with practice.
If one wishes to realize the i'm.
portance Of this. he need only con
trast with it what was happening
in the environment in which Jesus
lived and what has happened in
most instances in the world even
in realms where the Importance
Of teaching has been emphasized.
The deyout Jew Of the age in
which Jesus lived had over coo
categorical rules governing his
life, and his religion was very
largely a matter Of intricate dis
tinctions and sPeculations at the
very opposite pole both in theory
and in practice from the enuncia-
tion OF the simple principle Of
love and the suggestion that this
principle meant nothing except as
it was put into action.

Surely it is a lesson that the
world of modern educators needs
very much TO learn. In u own
age we see very largely a divorce
Of education from morality and
goodness. The fact that a great
college or university exists in a
community is no guarantee Of the
purity and nobility OF the COM
munity's life. The fact that a
man is an alumnus of a college

yealed the inner quality of their
characters in their surprise that
the King should have found them
worthy. They were conscious OF
having done nothing more than
they ought to have done; in fact.
there was in then. the appalling
sense that they had done so little
to meet the great needs of their
fellow men. 1t is only where the
true spirit goes with the deed
that goodness comes to its full
fruition and expression.
