HEROIC MOTHER
FAILS TO SAVE
LIFE OF BABY

TACOMA, Wash, Dee. 81. (U.P)
A mother was recovering from a
"poison kiss" given to her baby, to-
day, but the child was dead of cy-
anidc poisoning administered by
her father who also killed himself
by the same method in crazed mo-
ment following protractcd Christ
mas spree.
Mrs. Ravena Bond had heard many
times, she told police, that poison
could be sucked from snake bite.
So, when her five year old daughter,
Rita, ran to her yesterday and cried
"Oh, mama, daddy put some stuff in
my mouth" and then fell in 4 faint,
the desperate mother put her mouth
to the baby's and sucked with all
Der might, hoping to take into her
own system the poison which was
taking the life of the child.
All the way to the hospital Mrs.
Bond kept up her ''poison KISSES"
but when the ambulance arrived Rita
was dead, and the mother herself
was severely poisoned There was
no hope held for her recovery but
she rallied this morning and attend
ants said she was practically out
of danger.
AS far as authorities could learn
the only reason for Edward Bonds
heinous act, was drunken melon
cholia. He had been drinking heav-
lily over the holiday.

Erratic Over

During Past Week

KANSAS CITY, March 9.-(P)-
u. S. d. A.)-Trade on hogs
around the 11-market loop this week
was extremely erratic and price
fluctuations hard. Curtailed re-
ceipts and a broad shipping demand
the first three days of the week re-
suited in price upturns of around
75c. but from Thursday on packer
became very bearish and more than
erased the early advance at most
markets. A few centerS still show
a slight gain over a week ago but
must points are on a weak to Csc
lower basis. Chicago had a closing
top of S11.40. Total offerings were
around 510,7O0 a decrease Of 10000
from last week and 174,300 short of
the same period a year ago.
Fat lambs were in broad demand
at 40@75c higher figures, while
prices prevailed on aged
stock. Chicago reported a SOC gain
or fat ewes. The weeks extreme
top of lambs of $17.65 was realized
in Chicago. The supply totalled
around 1865 a shortage Of 1O,70O
from last week but 21,300 heavier
than a year ago.

An early loss Of about so cents a

Wheat Scars And
Corn Follows To
Big Gain For Day

CHICAGO, March 9.-(P)-Wheat
prices ran up like a steeple-jack to-
day, and corn followed in quick or
der. Spectators discovered they
had sold themselves into a hole, and
that to get out before the weekend
they had bid against each other at
such a lively rate as to force a sharp
general rise in values. Drought adj
vices from Canada and Australia, to-
gether with reports of seeding de-
lays in Europe and of freezing tenn
peratures in the United States win
ter wheat belt were all of some eff
feet toward bringing about what re-
senbled a stampede to the buying
side.
Closing quotations on wheat were
strong. ] SD cents to 2 1-3 cents a
bushel net higher. Corn finished
7-8 cent to | 1-8 cents up. Oats I'M
changed to 5-6 cent advance. and
provisions unchanged to a rise Of
II cents.
From the outset, the wheat pit
was uneasy because Of renewed cold
weather threatening the safety Of
domestic winter wheat. Besides.
Liverpool wheat quotations were
higher than had been looked for.
A forecast of fair and warmer
weather to succeed the prevalent
freezing temperatures was of little
comfort to wheat bears, inaSmuch
as crop damage at this stage of the
season was in general largely due to
alternate freezing and thawing
weather. In the furry that ensued
after a death Of offerings became
apparent, much of the buying was
credited to eastern sources. Con-
tributing to the subsequent upward
swing Of values was the fact that
primary receipts of wheat in this
country today showed a decided
falling-off. totaling but 957 bushels
against 100000 bushels a week ago
and 1.102, 900 bushels on the CORE
spending day last year.
Corn as well as wheat finished
with the bulls having the whip
hand. Upturns in corn prices were
associated with comment that farm
reserves showed little more than
last year. The fact also was point
ed out that considering the early
start Of feeding this season the dis
appearance of corn was only mod
crate, 63.3 per cent Of the total No
vember l supply COMPARED with a
ten-year average of 61.2 per cent.
Country offerings Of corn today
were Of fair volume but in the main
were held above buyers views.
Oats were unsettled. with action of
corn the chief influence.
Provisions reflected a new upturn
in the value Of hogs.
