CHICAGO GRAINS


CHICAGO. May ~. U.P9-Gen-
eral dullness prevailed in Chicago
grain pits today until the final hour.
At the end wheat was off "a to
up Z cent: new corn u to q cents
lower; old corn off 2 to 2B cents,
and oats a TO e cent lower.
Showers in the southwest, north
west and sections of the Canadian
west constituted about the only
market influence with the cxcep-
ton of some liquidation in May
and this brought out scattered sell
ing of new crop months in the wheat
pit. Shipping sales came to only
1000 bushels. Receipts were set at
y cars.
Buenos Aires opened steady while
Liverpool and Winnipeg were clos
ed in observation of the Coronation.
Corn was practically lower at the
start A house with cash rgain con-
nections purchased July and sold
September at a difference of nine
cents with a local dealer complct-
ing the transaction.

Market Quotations
TRADING IIGHTEST OF YEAR

NEW YORK, May IL. WP)-The
lightest trading of the year de-
Veloped Oh the stock market today
despite selecive buying in industrial
and railroad issues.
All Canadian ana British markets
were closed for the coronation, re-
sulting in a drying up of almost
all foreign business.
Commodity markets also were
quiet but prices showed firmness
after early irregularity. Bond trad
ing was quiet but second grade
rails showed strength. Investment
buying reportedly was developing
in this division.

WASHINGTON =. The federal
w government today is by far
the biggest single employer of
labor in the country. The total
number of civil employees in the
executive branch is $4,000. The
monthly payroll is Sl28,000,00
That figure excludes the mill
tary and naval services (another
$50, 00o) and the temporary en-
ployes on CCC, WPA, and SINH
lar projects (another 2,O00,O0O)
1t includes only the employees of
the business organization" of the
government, the regular and emer-
gency bureaus, ih and out of
Washington.
How far the government ought
to 60 into business" that is, into
the production of goods and serv-
ices that might be produced I'M
der private enterprise, is one of
the basic problems that divides
thought in the capital today.
THE rise of the federal govern
ment rolls to $4,000 is sig
nifcant. The figure is rapidly
nearing the all-time high set in
November, 1913, when it nit 9l7,-
$50. That was, of course, due to
the huge staff that was CARRYING
on the civilian end Of the World
War.

ON FINDING A FOUR.LEAF
CLOVER

The clover bears an extra leaf
For those who will not yield to
grief.
They call it "luck," but, oh, my
dear,
It's courage in the face Of fear,
And grim determination known
To those who climb the hill alone.
The clover told me, when found
It's four brave leaves above the
ground,
The extra one was meant for
those
Who win in spite Of mortal woes
That try the soul and twist the
mind
And seek to keep the spirit blind
To beauty. 1t was then | knew
It's extra leaf unfurled for you.

The government payroll is al

THUS the "big business" that is

self one of the biggest among the

OF course, as business in general
expands, there is need for
more mail carriers. more income
tax collectors, more government
printed matter. more Of every
thing. Which means more en-
ployeS working for Uncle Sam.
and more added to that monthly
payroll. N
Everyone conversant with gov
eminent matters expects that the
day of the permanent government
establishment Of a million en-
ployes, drawing down a monthly
payroll Of Sl50,O0O,000, is not far
away.
So when you think of the rela-
tionship between government and
business, it is well to remember
that the government is already in
business, and in it so deeply that
it is itself the biggest business
enterprise in the country, with the
most employees and the biggest
payroll.

J. KS FAME: Little" Jimmie
Fain says j. X. Livingston is en-
ioying his much deserved distinc-
ton of having mail delivered to
him when addressed to 81. X,
Hendersonville, N. c." His fame
doesn't stop with j. X. swimming
pools, j. X. news stands and j. X.
orchestras and dance numbers.
His activity in behalf of his en-
terprises has become a word or
expression of 'local dictionary"
form, colloquialism, which is
described as ordinary converse
ton belonging to everyday speech,
informal in it's nature, as illus
trated by the following:
Bill Hodges was telling the
Chamber of Commerce directors
that it was necessary for them to
support the entertainment pro-
gram of the entertainment COM
mittee, of which he is a member.
Support it how" a director in
quired. 81. X. it," was the re-
Spouse. "What do you mean?"
Boost it; advertise it; talk it
up"
And so there's a meaningful,
newly coined expression that's
compliment to Mr.. Livingston's
energetic way Of doing things.
CHARGE 1T! Foster Bennett
is scratching his head over the
false economy of running a
charge account with local store.
He buys a dollar item and has it
charged. On the first of next
month he receives a bill for $1.1O,
explaining that 10 per cent is
added to charge accounts, but of
fers the consolation that if paid
on or before the tenth there will
be discount of 10 per cent, of
which he takes advantage of and
gets the article for only 80 cents
instead of paying 81, which he
would have done if he had paid
cash.

URING midsummer moments
~ when a high-registering Their
mometer gives promise that torrid
weather has decided to prolong its
stay even to the point of trespassing
on the rights of autumn then is it
that dainty cool lingerie frocks
swing into the spotlight in all their
glory.
Especially this season the craze
seems not to have abated for frocks
of simple, inexpensive, yet fine and
lovely wash materials. The young
er set adore the pretty dimities, Or
candies, dotted swisses for their
party frocks and when they 60 away
to school this fall many a college
faring girl will slip one or two of
her summary wash frocks into her
wardrobe trunk knowing full we'll
that she will get any amount of
wear out of them ere the cool fall
days come upon us.
If you have never tried shadow
print organdie for your midsummer
night party frock, do it now! You
can get this lovely material in pas
tells or white and it makes up beau
tifully, and best of all it costs such
a trife compared with luxury-type
weaves, while it ''looks a million"
The charming gown on the seated
figure is made of white shadow
print organdie and we venture to
say when this gown dances hither
and thither on the ballroom floor
or under the stars at the country
club it will be voted among the
prettiest. The fact that it is
picturesquely and fashionably full
skirted makes it all the more en-
chanting. The corsage of flowers in
realistic coloring is in gay contrast
thus adding another beguiling note.
Some there are who prefer stat
uesque slenderizing lines rather
than bouffancy.
The princess gown to the left will
