Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS
tlmah. He ImhmI Wire.
Chicago, April 9. Action of the
wheat market last week was such
as to puzzle traders on both sides. It
u-ai ripi'irinrllv a two-dricri attair and
is expected to be for some time, with
sharo fluctuations within a fair
range. Liquidation by holders of May
was combined with increased pres
sure from the bear interests who
were induced to sell by reports that
around 2,000,000 bushels cash wheat
is to come here from Missouri river
markets, of which 700,000 bushels
has been sold. This wheat is to be
'delivered on May contracts and part
of it is in transit. All the wheat
coming from the southwest to Chi
cago is not for May delivery, as a
cargo is to go to a Buffalo miller.
It would not be surprising to hear
that the bulk of the wheat to be
brought here will go to eastern mill
ers, although it might be delivered
, on M?y saies first.
Under present market conditions
there is a better market for the sur
plus wheat stocks now at the Mis
souri river in Chicago than else
where. But suppose that 5,000,000
bushels wheat comes here between
j .i i r hj :. A
now ana inc ena oi ivmy, n wuwu
only make around 7,000,000 bushels.
This should not be considered as
burdensome. It is a good supply at
the end of the crop year", and should
the new harvest be large, it might
have a depressing effect later in the
Eiport Bnsinea Slump. -
Kitport bualncsa ha fallen-off and mill
ing demand is not larg. although giving
Indications of betterment. Foreigner are
taking Manitoba and Argentina wheat.
Export from Argentine and Australia
conUnu heavy and stocks on passage
may ahow an increase for th wjek.
Should Germany aecur the 163,000.000
'Argentina credit under negotiation it may
v Chang th world wheat situation by
forcing other countries lo depend upon
th United Statea and Canada for their
supplies.
Thla 1 th aeason for crop report.
Those from th aouthwest are spotted.
Th lat sprouted wheat has not stooled
and may not mak a good yield. One ot
th xpert aya crop reports from there
at present ar of little value and it is
Impossible to tell how much acreage will
be abandoned. In other sections the
loss of acreage is expected to be small.
Short Hay Cover.
Th trade, in the man. haa th Impres
sion that ther has been an absorbtion
of wheat ty atrong interests and that
eventually It will be found that it has
landed In atrong hands. Whether local
ltd seaboard Interests who ar long will
want th cash whet to ehlp out remains
to b seen. There I ssaid to be an ex
tended ahort Interest which may cover
lor a few days at advanced prices.
Foreign buying of corn has fallen off
and doraeatlc demand Is unusually small.
Chicago received 1,3:3.000 bushels last
week or 96.000 bushels more than th
previous week and 7,000 bushels below
last year'a. Th primaries had SSI, 000
bushels leas than last year.
Oat seeding is one to fiv weeks late
nd unles weather improvea will be lat
r. Acreage la to be amslled from pres
, nt Indications. This has brought buy
ers for September which is showing the
moat strength.

(I'onlinurd from balurdsf.)
And in the bilence that followed
Eliabcth wondered if he could hear
the heavy heating of her heart be
fore the aid, almost in a whupcr:
"N'ctta Nctta ald it was only peo
pie in the country who who were
khorked at tilings like mat.
"Neita talk a great deal of non
icinc." Rovtton will in a hard voice,
but hit cyci were wistful as they
searched l.lizabctli s iiuiica lace.
and bitterest envy tilled his heart
She was so youne and untried
with all her life before her. lie set
his teeth as he looked back on the
act of folly that had ruined his life,
He had met Enid Sanger toward
the end of a short leave irom 1-ranee
he had been lonely, and at a loose
end, and she had pretended to care
for him. llicy Had united irom a
mild flirtation into a foolihh mar
riage, as many another couple had
done during; the disastrous years of
the war. and in less tnan -' Hours
Koystou's eyes had been opened to
his irretrievable tolly.
She had married him for the
money w hich she had believed would
come to him at his father's death,
and it had not conic!
Royston winced as he thought of
the vulgar abuse and recriminations
that had followed, and of the intolcr
able bondage which bound him hand
and foot.
With a strong effort he tunica
attain to Elizabeth.
"We're letting dinner spoil while
we discuss the morals of the world,
he said dryly, and Elizabeth smiled
faintly.
bhc had failed in her desire to
keep this man's friendship, she knew,
and it seemed to matter nothing at
all if she failed in everything else as
well.
She made a poor pretense of eat
ing, and left ner wine untoucnea.
She was glad when the meal was
ended, and yet her heart was sick at
the thought of the parting to come.
She looked at Royston with eyes
that were heavy with unshed tears.
He was grave and a little pale, but
he smiled when he met her elahce.
I think we ought to be going, he
said.
Yes." She began dragging on her
gloves with nerveless fingers. She
felt as if they were walking in a
dream when presently she followed
him out into the sjrect.
It vvas a cool, starry night, and
there were not many people about.
'Shall we walk or tufa a taxi."
"I would rather walk."
She tried hard to think of some
thing to say with which to break the
silence following, but her brain felt
stupid and wooly. Royston made one
or two desultory attempts at conver
sation, but he seemed to tind it as
difficult as she d;d, and it was only
when they were but a few steps from
Mrs. Silcum's that Elizabeth's misery
found vent in one last appeal.
Mr. Royston, what s to become ot
me if I am not a success at all?"
She would have given half her life
to have heard him answer unhesitat
ingly: "Why you will come back to
me, of course. But he only said in
an obstinate voice: "You will not
fail."
She gave it up then and neither of
them spoke again unl they reached
the house.
All its windows were in darkness
and the streets were all deserted;
they might" have been alone in the
world, Elizabeth thought, and won
dered in despair how she was going
to get through the next few minutes.
And yet they came and went so
quickly, almost without emotion.
Royston held out his hand.
"So it's goodbye for a little while,"
he said, and Elizabeth said ."Yes,"
and laid her trembling fingers in his.
And once again the wonder went
through her mind that there should
be such a difference in handclasps
that this man's touch should mean
more to her than anything in the
world; and for a moment her fingers
clung to his in a poor little fright
ened way, and ' something seemed
to catch Royston by the throat, so
that he could not speak, and it was
Elizabeth who presently said, "Good
bye," and . turned away.
And as she let herself into the si
lent house and stumbled upstairs in
the dark she was saying over and
o)ver again in her heart in a frantic
sort of way: "It isn't goodbye real
ly! I shall see him again tomorrow
before I go; It isn't goodbye really."
it was the only means Dywnicn
he could beat down the despair that
threatened her.
But when Mme. Senestis came the
following afternoon Royston had not
arrived, and madame declared that
her was in a desperate hurry, and
could wait not one moment.
"Hurry! Hurrv. mon enfant! she
ailed shrilly to Elizabeth. "Heavens!
fhe time you English people waste
In saying good-bye!"
Aetta was in tears.
"I shall miss you horribly," she
wailed. "I wish you weren't going.
Mrs. Silcum means all right, but she
isn't you, and the doctor says I may
have to lie here for weeks and, weeks
yet."
1 11 come and see you often.
Elizabeth said quickly; but Xetta
shook her head.
They won't let you," she prophe
sied, "and after a little while you
won. t want to. Oh, I know what it
will be! There, run along; that wom
an's shrieking for you again." They

Organized Labor
Will Boycott Big
League Baseball
Unions to' Fine Members Who
Attend Games While Landis
Holds 'Place as Com
inibbioner.
By THOMAS J. WREN
Omaha Bea I .eased VCIr.
Chicago, April 9. Until the day
comet when Former Federal Judge
Keiifsaw Mountain Landis cease to
be supreme arbiter in organized base
ball no loyal union labor man will
enter one of the organized ball
parks.
Charging that the famous jurist
has permitted himself to he "used as
a tool by big business." in its el
forts to disrupt building trades
unions throughout the country, by
reducing wages and by his "standard
agreement" in his wage award. Em
met T. Flood, Chicago representa
tive of the American Federation of
Labor, announced a complete boy
cott of professional baseball.
Union Men Helpless.
"His so-called standard agree
ment," declared Mr. Flood, "makes
the union man as helpless as the
professional ballplayer, who . Is
bought and sold at the whim of the
club owner. It makes the union man
work with the nonunion man, under
almost any condition his employer
wishes- to impose."
"When S50,000-a-Year Landis
wrote this decision," continued the
representative of organized labor,
"making the reduced wages both the
minimum and maximum wage scale,
and destroying working conditions
that have existed for many years, he
knew that his act would be follow
ed by bosses throughout the coun
try." Say Salary Turned Head.
So bitter are the union labor men
and women at the Landis award, Mr.
Hood maintained, that they would
not permit him to umpire a game ol
marbles. His decision has been used
against them in every conference
with their employers, he declared.
They believe the $50,000 salary has
turned his head.
"Most of the building trades unions
have passed a rule that any member
who attends a big league game will
be fined," he continued. "Literature
condemning the judge has been dis
tributed to all friends of organized
labor, asking them to follow suit.
"It will be cheaper in the long run
for the baseball magnates to pay
Landis his $50,000 a year for the
six years remaining in his contract
and dismiss him, than thus to an
tagonize organized labor. We are
intent on making the club owners
repudiate their commissioner give
him the gate.

Have You Poise and Self-Control?
Said a prominent business man.
I have a chair so located m my ol
fice, that those who come in to do
business with me must sit with the
light shining directly on their faces.
while my face is in the shadow. I
find that in this way I can tell bet
ter what ettect my words are having
on them, because I can watch their
faces closely, and am better able to
ascertain whether they are telling
the truth or otherwise."
Have you ever realized, when you
go into a man's office, that he has
it arranged with an idea of giving
himself the advantage over you, if
posible?
He studies you closely. This is
especially true if you are an appli
cant for a position.
He makes a mental note of the
way sit in your chair, the way you
place your feet, the movements you
make with your hands, your facial
expressions.
He asks questions to determine
whether von use snap judgment or
not whether you think before you
make an important statement.
He wants to see whether you have
control of your face muscles enough
to hide surprise, anger, weakening
to argument, and the like.
It is likely you need poise. Learn
to control yourself.

Wives of Farmers
Sign Contracts
Bret Raiders Evade Penally
of Growers' Association and
Accept Company's Scale.
Scottsbluff Sugar beet farmers of
this region, who arc still bound to
the Mountain States Beet Growers
association contract by the refusal
of the association to approve the
Great Western Sugar company's
contract for beets, are having their
wives sign contracts for raising
beets this year.
This is done, it is said, to avoid
the penalty agreed upon with the
growers' association, to pay the lat
ter 25 cents a ton for all beets grown
under a contract not approved by
the association.
Several of the large growers are
of the opiniorr that the association
should release the farmers from its
contract, as no further revision is
expected from the sugar company.'
Acreage reports from field met!
indicate that there will be a reduc
tion in beets this year. Potatoes,
grain and alfalfa will be grown on
the land diverted from beet produc
tion.
