GRAIN MEN HIT
u. s. INTERFERENCE
Find Market Conditions Un-
satisfactory During Six
Month Period.
RY JOHN r. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO. July At is the almost
unanimous verdict of grain traders
that the first half Of 1884 has been
unsatisfactory 10 farmers and to COM
modify exchanges alike.
Outstanding in illustration Of the
record is the fact that wheat prices.
which had risen to well over the dol
lar mark. have fallen about 20 cents
a bushel from their high point, not
withstanding crop conditions seldom,
if ever, eQualed as providing stimu
lus TO soaring of values. The 1884
half years top price of any wheat
future delivery has been Sl09 2,
reached June I BY December con-
tracts This week the same delivery
has dropped 10 80 , cents.
The main reason traders give for
such extraordinary behavior Of grain
valnes is severely reduced purchase
power in the market.
Peter b Carey. president of the
Chicago Board Of Trade. stated eX-
plicitly TODAY that grain prices had
been settling slowly to lower levels
because there was insufficient specu-
lative buying to absorb the new
harvest.
Spectators Cautious.
Speculation has been frightened
from the commodity markets by the
continuous threat of legislation against
the exchanges" Carey said. He added:
The irony Of the situation is that
all proposed legislation Of this char
acter is introduced in the euise of
being something that will aid the
farmer. Instead Of aiding 1t has
hurt the farmer seriously al a time
he is entitled TO much higher prices
and needs them sorely.
This half year has witnessed the
most disastrous crop failure Of gen.
Grafton. Many experts say it IS the
worst in our history. Lack of moisture
has reduced the possible 1894 wheat
harvest to two-thirds. probably less,
Of normsicv 1t has made serious in
roads on other grains. pasturage. hay
and all silage products"
Corn has not been destroyed by the
drought said Carey, and may yet re-
suit in a fairly satisfactory yield.
But corn now is faced with the menace
of chinch bug destruction-a real
threat when it is considered how these
tiny pests travel armylike on their
errand of destruction.

SAFETY LEAGUE
FOR CHILDREN
BEING FORMED BY sAwYER's
P4IFTs AMP CYCLE
STORE
Key West. Fla,
Nov. 5, 1884.


Under the BANNER of Courtesy
Caution c Cooperation. the children
between thp ages of 9 and Is are
taking the matter of their own
and civic safety into their own
hands. The Three Cs motto is
the underlying principal of the
3-in-one Safety League being
formed here by Sawyer's Paint
and Cycle Store to teach children
the safe technique Of riding BIZ.
cycles, where and how to roller
skate and general traffic rules.
Cooperating with q national
movement for the greater protec-
ton Of children who ride bicycles
and r0ller-skate, Mr.. Sawyer. has
announced that all children be-
tween these ages viii be admitted
TO the league By making appIica-
ton to him. They viii be given
safety test on the subject of prop
er bicycle riding and rules of the
road and if they qualify viii be
admitted to the club and given
a pin bearing the official emblem
together with the book of Safety
Suggestions.
The movement has the sponsor
ship of the outstanding traffic au-
thorities in the country as well as
all organizations interested in
child welfare. Parents are urged
to see that children join the league
which viii work toward their pro-
lection and which viii endeayor
to secure special paths and places
where they can ride with the max
imum amount Of safety.
children of this day and age
have been given proper instruc-
tions about riding bicycles" says
Mr.. Sawyer. "Once bicycling was
a matter of skin and people had
regular rules such as traffic now
observes. 1t is the aim of this
league to teach children all that
they should know about the right
method of handling their bicycles
and how to avoid possible danger.
They viii be the future motorists
of this city and if they are taught
the general traffic rules of the
'autompbilists now they viii not
only. be better able to take care
of themselves IN their play and
sport now but win be better mo-
florists later when they learn to
drive cars"

Uniform Postage Rates

Agitation for a uniform and cheap
rate of postage between countries
led to a conference at Berne, Swift
erland, where on October 9, 1874,
the General Postal union was Gre
ated. This union included, besides
most of the European countries, the
United States, and succeeded in
lowering the average rate from 30
to cents. A second conference
met at Paris in 1878, changed the
name to the Universal Postal union,
and adopted code known as the
"ConventiOn of Paris" Nearly all
civilized countries are now members.
In 1924 Switzerland issued special
stamps to commemorate the fiftieth
anniversary of the signing Of the
code. The stamps show the build
ing in which the 1874 conference
met. Switzerland occupies a pecu-
liar position in the union, for the
government of the Swiss confedera-
ton is the chief executive of the

Income Tax Returns Are
Being Filed Rapidly
State Commission Classics Sewer.
at Points of the Law Not
Thoroughly Understood

Increased activity in the filing of
State Income Tax returns under
the new State Income Tax law has
necessitated the establishment of
a branch office in Duluth in addi-
ton to the one previously opened
in Minneapolis. BLANK returns may
be secured at these branch offices
as well as at the offices of the
County Auditors through the State.
The new State law allows for the
deduction of the necessary expenses
of sickness and accidents to the
taxpayer or his dependents during
the taxable year. What is a necea-
sary expense is a question of fact
which must be determined in the
individual case. Ordinarily the
term will be taken to apply only
to the immediate expenses of the
sickness or accident, such as medi-
cal and hospital expenses. Ordinary
dental work for the purpose of cor
recting conditions which are caus-
ing sickness or distress, would be
an allowable deduction. Funeral
expenses are not allowable deduc-
tons nor are the expenses of a
trip to California or a winter spent
in Florida by the taxpayer, even
