"Right smack on the front page.
 Hell have to like it or have his great lover hooted off the air.
 He'll have to cancel that clause and then the heavy lover will have to marry Melody. In that way I get rid of that pain in the neck and get even with Abe Brown at one clip"
 One morning I pick up the paper

 saw just before he jumped out of. the twenty-first-story window Of a thotel.
 "Whats the matter now? I

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, July 20-Suggestions
that black rust Is now threatening so
per cent damage to Spring wheat
in the Dakotas and Minnesota gave
wheat values notable strength today.
Black rust advices from the North
west were the most alarming yet
this season, but scarcity of sellers
rather than unusual increase of
speculative demand characterized the
Chicago wheat market. Grain
authorities said race is on between
maturity of the Spring wheat crop
and devastation from rust, with the
rust so prevalent that it can be seen
in the fields for a distance of 10 rods.
Wheat closed firm at about the days
top level, 1as-l12 cents a bushel
higher than yesterdays finish, Sep
tember, s524-7s; corn unchanged to
q up, September, 1854 oats also
unchanged to = up, and provisions
unchanged to S cents down.
After a brief transient price set
back that was associated with hedg-
ing sales against newly harvested
Winter wheat, the Chicago wheat mar
ket began to climb as reports of ad-
verse conditions both in the Ameri-
can and Canadian Spring wheat belt
were received. Particular heed was
accorded to dispatch sent from
Fargo, N. OAK. by widely known
crop expert who said rust was about
as bad as ever known, and promised
so per cent damage at the very least.
Other advices indicated weather of
late has been generally of a kind
to develop rust.
A rise of about 2 cents from the
days bottom prices for wheat was
witnessed. Contributing to this were
strong cables from Liverpool and
BuenoS Aires, together with resting
orders to buy on declines. Argentine
wheat quotations were advanced.
Bullish traders emphasized that next
weeks forecast indicated temperatures
normal or above with moderate rain
fall in domestic Spring wheat territory
Corn, oats and rye borrowed firm
ness from wheat.
Provisions were steadied by scanti-
ness of lard production.

ity for the month to date has sagged
only moderately with the latest esti-

price trend was mixed, but strength
in certain items was conteracted by
weakness in others.
Livestock prices registered the most
radical change of any group. The
latest index figure is SO. 1925 equal

for the year was reached in mid

a higher price level for livestock in
general.

Paint materials were also slightly
lower rejecting a further price weak
