CRYSTAL WATERS

So delicate are the murmurings Of the waters passing here, That the faintest ripple brings Sweet music to my waiting ear. Subtle murmurs from loyal life Whose musings knew joyous heart, Now waiting patiently alone For new yearnings to depart. Gather the fragrance of these lilies, And bring me hope, from yonder hill: Hold up the waters crystal vase, And let me drink lovers ill Eternity with mystic power Carries our souls to quiet lands: will walt upon the threshold here To feel the comfort of your hands.

CHICAGO. Dec. 10. (UP) - Wheat
futures settled back late today after
an early rush of heavy buying had
carried all deliveries to new highs
for the season and the December
contract to the highest level in sew
en- years. Profit-taking selling un-

sponse to a relatively lower tone at
Liverpool but renewed its climb to
new highs in response to reports of
heavy buying of wheat by import
ers. At $1.29 and $125 the Decem-
Der and May deliveries were at the
highest levels since 1929 while the
July delivery at S1.03$ was the
