No driver of a vehicla and more
especially no driver of au automobile,
should ever cross a railroad or in

ing in both directions to determine
whe ther a train is approaching.
Where there are two or more
i racks, never start across after a train
has passed without waiting to see
whether another train is approaching
on another track. Let the first train
get by at least 500 feet. If necessary
to shift gears, do so not. less than
50 feet before? reaching the track, lest j

At crossings protected by flagman,

to cross while flagman is on the cross

Chicago, Lei. 4. Farmers have
benefitted to the extent of tens of
millions of dollars by the sensational
;-i: e cf wheat on the Chicago board
ot trrdo dmirg th? last three weeks,
agricultural authorities told t news
pa per corn ;ondenta here today.
Wheat prices have advanced ap-PD.-iimately
C.5 cc-nts in that period
on reports that Europe needs more
American grain than anticipated.
. Farmers have not sold out their
grain and oonseciuently are in posi
tion to (ash in at higher prices, H.
W. rJoo:-e;iouse, former research ex
pert of the American Farm Bureau
Federation declared. . j
LaSal'e t-'treet expects to see a
rop;-s it ion of the 1924 speculative
boom when wheat prices soared to ,
a top of $2.05 ta a bushel. 1
Public buying is increasing and '
p til ess ion al traders are increasing
their scope of operations. Yesterday'
the various wheat issues gained up
to (1 cents per bushel over the pre
ceding close.
-. . . . -1 . . .. . ...IT- :..!!.. C rt

wheat, just as they did last year
when the market reached its peak
and then slumped. Young fortunes
had been made on a shoestring with
stenographers, bell boys, clerks and
others of the so-called "small fry"
prof ting along with the professional
tiaders. When the slump came in
December, nearly all of the small
speculators and some of the profes--r.rl
traders were crippled or wiped
on'. Arthur Cutten and James Pat-
iten, two of tho sensational figures of
the wheat pits, piled up profits est
imated all the way from $2,000,000
1 to .? 10.000.000. They retained most
of their f;ains, and are said to be in
the present market.
Moorhouse declared that the farm
ers antieipated the present rise and
held on to their wheat. Estimates
are for a muedi smaller European
crop than anticipated with the re
sult that America will be called on
to erport an unusually large amount
r f wheat, he said.
"The upward swing one year ago
rtarted just as the wheat crop was
being harvested and the farmer rush-'
ed into the market to dispose of it
relapse," Moorhouse explain-
shot up higher, but the
tarme r had sold
got the profits.
"The farmer was segaeious this
year. Like others, he expected the
market to bulge and he kept his
wheat out of the market. This en
tailed great hardship for most wheat
growers. Their pocket books had flat
tened and some were forced to go
against their inclinations and sell
'oui. but most of them obtained credit
to tide them over.
! "The farmer reaped little benefit
j en the rise of November wheat for
! most of it had gone into the market
at geod figurcL- but spring wheat
has yet to reach the buyer. Every
day is spelling more dollars for the
farmers who hold spring wheat."
"The large percentage that stood
pat are richer today because of its
determination. I would not say by
how much, but there is no doubt
the farmer's return on wheat
l.o much larger proportionately
last year, even if 192 4's record
figure is not reached.
