Now the great old feast day of Christmas is over, but for millions of boys and girls the days are still holidays, and will remain so until after New Years Day.
 Many little girl Is now playing with doll she received for Christ mas, dressing 1t or placing 1t in a doll house, along with toy furni- ture. Manya boy Is playing with a self moving train or auto, or test ing out a model airplane.
 Whenever ponds or lakes have ice fit for skating, or wherever hilisides provide snow fit for slid ing, boys and girls are likely to be found enjoying winter sports.
 For boys and girls who live where 1t Is cold enough for skat- ing and sliding, wish to speak words of caution. Please follow these rules---for the sake of your parents, for, the sake of yourselves and for the sake of your Uncle Ray!
 Don't slide down hills in places where there is danger of autos crossing your path"
 When 1 was 13 years old, play ed climber bridge" on thin ice. The ice broke under my weight. Luckily the ice was over 8 pond and the water was only three feet deep; but the experience gave me an idea of the cold and unhappy fortune which befalls those who slip into the deep water of a lake.

CHANCS NAKED
 FAT ON PROFITS

Mukden.-Chinese officials, un- der Japanese protection. have dis covered for the first time the amaz- ing extent of the profits reaped by Manchurian military governors during the past few years.
 Private accounts in Chinese banks. which were examined by Japanese. are alleged to show profits for the two Changs-father and son-and their favorites of something like $500.000,000 (sii- ver). ..fr
 Coming from Japanese sources, such estimates must be taken with reserve. but independent foreign observers agree that the figures cannot be far wrong.
 For 19 years the two Changs and their satellites have had con trol of the revenues of Manchurla. more constant and abundant than of any other section of China. During that time, they have never had to account for receipts or ex- penditures And the two Changs held the traditional Chinese idea that an officials first duty Is to enrich himself. his family. and his friends.
 Since the Japanese occupied Mukden in September, they have carefully studied all sources of revenue. Probably they know more about them to-day than the two changs ever did.
 An investigation Of the salt monopoly, for example. has shown that salt was sold for t6 Hines what fl nost to produce. 4 htnhi1 paFi of the profits went t0 the central a0vGrnment iB Feeenf years. t0 repay foreign iOnni. bui most of if siayeA Co ManchuFia f0 enrich officials.

WHEAT PRICES
DOWN FRACTION
IN SLOW TRADE
Corn Market Mostly Higher
on Scattered Buying
of September.
BY HAROLD E. RAINvILLE


CHICAGO, Sept. Is. - Grains
started very slowly as the Board
of Trade opened today, but wheat
eased a minor fraction on the dis
appointing action at Liverpool.
The latter market was firm, but
did not fully reflect the rise here
Monday, Corn was firm on scattered
buying of September, the deferred
months holding about steady. Oats
followed corn and were UP a
fraction.
Liverpool Reverses
At the opening wheat was ].
cent lower to IS cent higher, corn
was unchanged to 4 cent higher
and oats were i to Z cent higher.
Provisions were slow.
Liverpool started lower but re-
verSed itself and was sc to sc
higher at mid-afternoon. Leading
operators express the opinion that
wheat prices are low enough and
that the decrease Of nearly 100000
bushels in the visible supply last
week. the first since winter wheat
started moving to market, inspires
confidence in the constructive side.
The lack of a speculative demand
leaves the market nervous and
easily influenced but holding to a
narrow range.
Oats Are Higher
Freezing temperatures were re-
ported in Alberta but will not harm
wheat although the prevailing rains
will delay the harvest.
The action of corn continues ezra
tic and is dominated by September.
Practically the entire stock of cash
grain is held by one large interest
which is expected to rule prices for
the present.
Oats again are following corn al
though the cash market is strong.
Commission and locals continue to
take september, holding that month
| steady.
