Corn Is Transferred

Corn is considered the real mar
ket by all interests and the board
transferred corn trading to the
wheat pit this morning, effective
next Monday to accommodate the
increasing number of traders while
wheat goes to the old corn pit. Pro-
fessionals are friendly to the buying
side owing to the light receipts, mod
crate country offerings and good
cash demand.
The strength in corn gives oats
a firm front. Receipts are dwindling
and local industries are taking cash
oats in good style.

and he felt sure they would support
him. But when the question was stated
by Vice President Curtis. Senator Reed
demanded that roll call vote be had.
This was another thing. Senator Pat
didn't want the question disposed of in
that manner. He SO told Reed.
Cant we get along without the yeas
and nays?" he pleaded with Reed
THE unfortunate part about it is that
many Senators are not now in the
chamber. They'll come back in here
not as familiar with the question as we
are. Will not the Senator permit us to
save time?"
No, the Senator of Pennsylvania had
plenty of time
Il have heard 1t said" declared Reed
grinning at Senator Pat, that the Sen
ator of Mississippi could charm bird
out of tree, but he cannot charm me
out of the position l have taken"
There was nothing to do. A roll call
was ordered.
Absent Senators came trooping to the
floor asking what it was all about
They were told by those who had beer
on the floor that the issue seemed to
be Pat Harrison
That was enough. Seventy voted fol-
his request. Only two voted against
him.

OUR CHILDREN
Eyesight.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Eyeslght.
When a child fails in school, when
the teacher sends home a note saying
that this child is inattentive, he loses
his place in the reading lesson, for
some time now he has been losing
ground" make it your first business to
have his eyes tested. If the expert,
and none but experts should test the
eyesight of children, says the child
needs glasses, get them and insist that
the child wear them according to the
physicians directions.
If child cannot see well he can do
nothing else well. His eyes teach him
most of what he learns about the world.
If they tell him what is not so he is at
great disadvantage. The worst of
this is that he does not know that he
cannot see. Often poor vision is pain
less The fatigue of the eyes results in
a headache, in an upset stomach. in an
irritable nervous condition and the pa
tient does not trace his trouble to his
eyes.
Behavior is based on physical fitness
to a great extent. If you have head
ache your temper is not what it might
be in sweetness. If along with the
headache your nerves are twitching,
your stomach is scratchy and gnawing
heavy, you will not be a cheerful will
ing worker. You will do all sorts of
strange things that will make people
wonder at you and remember that you
once had a grandfather who. Test
the vision of the child who is making
life problem for himself and you.
Sometimes the eyes do not need
glasses They need medical treatment
and considerable care No physician

he needs them. What the eye man
wants to do is to help the child to see,
to conserve his vision, to make him
comfortable and give him chance.
Some children dislike the idea of
glasses and fight against wearing them.
Insist that he wear them when they
are needed. Tell the teacher that he is
to wear his glasses and to tell you II
he does not do so. Once ne has grown
accustomed to them, and the longer he
wears them at a time the sooner this
will be, he forgets about them. When
he finds that he is more comfortable.
that he is doing better work, that his
glasses help him to be what he wants
to be, you will have no more trouble
with him.
The child who has glasses needs to
have them adjusted frequently. A large
share of their efficiency depends upon
their being in position. II they Drop
If thev are I'D on one side and down on
the other they are doing no good. They
are likely to do harm. The oculist who
makes the glasses is always happy to
keep them in good shape. An occa-
sional visit to the shop is all that is
necessary-and that is more than nee
essary. 1t is essential.
Teach the children whose eyesight is
good to care for it. They take 1t Tor
! inn nc
print in a poor light, by reading too
much at a time. Eyes need frequent
rests, a good light and clear type. They
are well worth all the trouble they may
cost in care. After all one only gets
the one pair. They must last life
time. They will if given half chance.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE ". sPROwLs.
Dual Personality,

The average person goes through life
with a sort of dual personality You
have to reason backward from the men
tally sick to the mentally well to un-
derstand why this is so.
Clear-cut cases of dual personality
are fairly frequent among the many
sorts of mental affections. The sufferer
knows about as much concerning MS
mental condition as the normal person
does about his dreams five minutes
after he has started getting ready Tor
breakfast. Fragments only. one big
difference is that the dual personality
may last for hours, days, or even weeks.
So long as it lasts, the subject gets
along pretty well with his secondary
self, just as the sleeper usually finds
himself at home with his dreams.
If you are a normal person, YOUR two
personalities find ways and means OF
living at peace. Every time you have a
serious doubt you are weighing one set
of facts against another. For the time
being you possess what amounts to a
dual personality. If no one demands
an immediate reconciliation, you come
out all right.
Every time you try to keep two sets
of conflicting ideas fenced off from
each other, you are preparing the way
for a case of dual personality. You
can't figure out just which set of ideas
ought to dictate the course of your be-
havior That's why some people have
one standard of ethics for Sunday and
another standard for the rest of the
week.
Have you ever wondered about those
strange cases of forgetting names that
you know as well as you know your
own? For some painful reason you
have associated such names from your
common stock of ready reactions tc
your social surroundings. When you
dissociate-f forget, your secondary self is
putting in its appearance.

Most people 60 all their life without

No mater how loud you lern to whis-
sic you can never whsle as loud as a
locomotive.
This proves that as long as we are
doing the best we can, there's no use
making too many comparisons.
Violin players genrelly look as II
they was slitely suffering. but whisSlers
and drummerS always seem to be hav-
ing good time.
Ladies with dogs gcnrelly lern tC
WHSLE for them, on account of whS-
selling being easier and more graceful
than yelling.
This proves people can lern to dc
anything if they have a good enough
reason for it.
Some people can heer tune just

times he has several To lose one of
these races would be to lose his life, so
even though he would be no safer by
winning one of these races many jumps
ahead he would be less out OF breath
and a lot more comfortable.
However, Peter is -go-lucky and
because he never has lost one of these
races for life he seems to think he never
will. and so often takes foolish chances.
Some people are that way. If he would
heed little Mrs. Peter he would remain
in the dear Old Briar-patch and not
run such dreadful risks.
But think of the fun I would miss"
says Peter, and there you are.
Peter had remained at home some
time, but now he was getting uneasy.
He kept hopping about in the dear Old
Briar-patch, nibbling a bit here and
nibbling a bit there, but showing no real
appetite. Every little while he would go
to the edge Of the dear Old Briar-patch
and for few minutes look out long
ingly across the snoW-coVered Green
Meadows toward the Green Forest.
Little Mrs. Peter sighed. She knew the
signs. She also knew how useless 1t
would be to say anything When Peter
made up his mind to go he would go
and there was nothing she could do to
prevent him.
At last gentle Mistress Moon smiled
at him through distant tree-tops and
then rose above those same tree-tops
and flooded the Green Meadows with
soft light. Peter could stand it no
longer. There was something beWitch-
ing in that moonlight. He just had to
go visiting. So, after sitting up for a
long look around to make sure, or at
least to make as sure as he could, that
no enemy was watching, he started
across Green Meadows. Lipperty lip
perty lip, ran Peter. Lipperty lipperty
| lip. He would feel great deal better
when he reached the edge of the Green
| Forest, so he wasted no time.
He was nearly there when he saw
what looked like a big Black Shadow
move out from the Green Forest some
| little distance to one side of where he
was headed for. The big Black Shadow
was moving swiftly toward point be-
! tween Peter and the Green Forest.

This is a red letter week, for two
festival days come in it, Lincoln's birth
day and st. Valentines day. high
hat party brings to remembrance the
tall hat or top hat that is as closely
allied with Lincoln as is the cherry tree
with George Washington.
Tag each person who comes to the
party With silhouette of high hat.
On each should be written the name of
some one to be present. Put the girls
names in one high hat and the boys in
another. The hostess picks one at ran
dom from the girls hat to give to each
boy as he comes, and from the boys
hat for each girl. On the girls hat
write supper partner, and on the boys
dance partner. The boy finds the girl
for the first dance, and when refresh
mentS are served the girl finds the boy
whose name is on her high hat for the
suppertiIne.
For this game the hostess should
have written clearly the name Abraham
Lincoln on as many high hats of white
paper as there are persons in the COM
pany. From the letters in this Presi-
dents name answers to the following
quiz are to be written on the hats:
!, a member of nomad tribe; 2, a
cereal; 3, what we are reputed to think

names; 6, deadly reptile Z, to ascend;

Il hood. She was a pretty girl-and
a mighty nice one, too. He was a fine
steady-going young fellow-very much

"She went out with him several

down. Of course she couldn't tell him
the reason. B. O.'-body odor-is a del

"Hooty the OWL" exclaimed Peter
under his breath, and changed his di-
rection. Then Peter speeded up. Yes,
sir, he speeded up. Lipperty lipperty
lip, ran Peter and kept watch of Hooty
without having to so much as turn his
head, lipperty lipperty lip. Peter was
moving fast, but Hooty was moving
faster. If you should see that big bird
sitting in tree you would find it diff
cult to believe that he can fly as fast.
He was flying to head Peter off. Peter
was racing for his life now. There was
no mistake about that.
Now Hooty had appeared at just the
wrong time for Peter. He had been
headed straight for a certain bramble-
tangle on the edge of the Green Forest
a place where he always felt safe. Now
thGye was no bramble-tangle he could
reach. There was, however. a hollow
log Just little way inside the Green
Forest and it was for this that Peter
was now heading.
Il must get there first! I will get
there first" said Peter to himself, try
ing to find encouragement, and did his
best to run faster than ever.
The Green Forest and the hollow log
were nearer now. They drew nearer
with every jump. So did Hooty the Owl
draw nearer He drew nearer faster
than did the Green Forest. He drew
| nearer SO fast that a great fear took
possession of Peter. He was doing his
best; he could do no more He was
within few Jumps of the edge of the
Freen Forest. but already Hooty was set
to strike with those great cruel claws
In one jump more he would feel them
Peter didn't make that jump straight
ahead. Just as Hooty struck he, Peter
did the one thing he can do best

time he had checked himself and turned

Forest. Hooty shot after him Peter

Body Odor)

For people. as a rule, don t. know when

of knowing they're safe, the easiest way
imaginable Y by washing and bathing
