WHEAT FUTURE PRICES
WEAK AT MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis, April ll.-(ReOfu-
cial figures threaded in the days
news finally made a weak close in
wheat future prices here Wednesday.
Because the government agents
found 27,000,0O0 bushels more in the
farm reserve and the average idea of
private experts there was tendency
to sell on all hard spots.
May and july wheat closed y lower
and September Y lower.
Rye led the decline in coarse grains
because the hoped for imposition of
extra duties on Polish import will not
be exacted by the government. May
oats closed V lower and July X off,
while May rye was down IL. July
rye was off lls. May barley closed Il
lower and July u lower, while May
and July flax were off Y.
Cash wheat undertone was strong,
owing to steady demand and dimin-
ishtng offers. Heavy high protein
quality was competed for more sharp
", and there was good demand for
the diversion point offers. Winter
wheat was very scarce and wanted.
Durum offers were very limited and
demand fair for best amber milling
types.
Corn offerings were light and in
good demand. Oats demand was
quiet to fair and offerings were very
light. Rye demand was good and Of
ferings light. Barley tone was firm
to strong with some Of the near-best
selling &c higher again. Flax offer
ings on track were nil and inquiry
fair.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
WADING FOX

The Fuzzy Fox wondered where
the Bob Cat was with his silly little
tail. I mean the Bob Cat IS tail.
81 can't see where he is keeping
himself,o snarled the Fox as he
sat in the Bob Cats den waiting
for that Bad Chap to come home.
He went to look for Uncle Wig
gily at the seashore ocean and he
hasn't come back. Maybe, -
thought the Fox, blinking his cum
ming eyes, "maybe the Bob Cat
found the rabbit and ate him all
up. But he shouldn It have done
that, for he promised to save me
some nibbles.o
After waiting a little longer the
Fox began to walk up and down in
front of the Bob Cats den. At
last he could wait no longer.
"In go myself and find Uncle
Wiggily,o said the Fox. HE can It
fool me that way. The Worm, on

ALL OF Us TO BLAME

San Diego faces another battling and
atroeious murder mystery, which gives
every indication of entering into the "un-
solved files at the police station.
One startling fact has been unearthed
in connection with the police investiga-
tion which should cause grave concern,
not only to San Diegans but to every de-
cen+ SerSon.
The police blandly announced that
they proposed to round up 80 known de-
generates" and question them on the
murder in the belief that it was a per-
son of this type who committed the
crime
This brings to light the existence of
vicious social cancer in our civilization
which is continually ignored by law Off
GERS, lawmakers and the public.
If an otherwise respectable citizen
happens to violate traffic law, or per-
haps keep an unlicensed dog, there is
law which can punish him either by fine
or Imprisonment.
But here is class who violate natur-
al, moral and state laws continually, the
police and many others know that they
do, yet unless they are caught while ae-
tually participating in such crimes,
(something that is practically impossi-
ble) they go on their way day after day,
unmolested in any manner.
The police can hardly be blamed Tor
this. Were they to arrest these degener-
ates without being able to place specific
charges against them, with good chance
of proving them, they would merely
make trouble for themselves.
It is a case for the lawmakers to give
the greatest consideration. Some pro-
vision should be made for dealing with
this class They present problem that
has been neglected and against this ne
glect must be charged terrible tragedies
such as this one in San Diego and numer-
Gus others throughout the country which
shock US for the moment and are then
forgotten. ,.s
All of US are to blame for this indif-
ference. The society which was sup
posed to protect Celia Gotta IS response
BILE for the terrible fate she met.
Today the candidates enter on the last
lap, and we'll bet they're glad too.

that it was impossible. I had not
travelled over it for 80 days but
thought I would see what 9 inapas-
sable - was AS usual l found the
road very good, a little rough in
few places but not SO rough as
many detours 1 have been over on
the main highway. The subsidized
service station operator at Lords
burg also said it was 20 miles fur
ther to Yuma by the Benson cut
off and Tucson than by Phoenix
but I checked it with my speed
ometer and it was so miles shorter.
So to make Highway No. 80 a sue
cess you will have to eliminate
Phoenix as they are 100 per cent
for Blythe and Les Angeles and will
send everybody over the Blythe
route.
If you could put up some signs
warning people of the mountain
highway by way of Phoenix and
tell them that there are lot miles
of good gravel road to Benson and
all the rest of the way is fully
paved, people will come this way.
The strip of road from Yuma to
Tucson by way of Gila Bend and
Casa GranGe is all oiled now.
If there is anything 1 can do to
help this highway I am anxious to
do SO as we have 100000 invested
here that is not bringing any in
come on account of the change in
the highway travel. What is need
eel are lots of big signs telling the
shortest route to the coast, some
thing like the one at Ell Centric.
But the place for the signs is east
of Lordsburg and in Lordsburg It
self.
Any time you have an Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce committee
working over this way, have them
stop by our place as we are al
ways willing to do OUR share.
Hoping to have been of some
help to you we remain,
