on new propositions in another. This

Attack Is Promptly Reflected by
Slump in Provisions Market
Pork and Bacon Take
Hard Tumble.
Chicago. April 29. Julius H.
Parties, president of the grain cor
poration of the food administration
made an assault on high prices to
lay which was promptly reflected
n the board of trade in a maxi
mum decline of HVj cents in the
price of corn.
Of possibly more interest to the
hoiirewife was the slump in the
provisions market. Pork dropped
an extreme $1.S0 per barrel while
-hort rib sides, known to the break
fast table as bacon, declined a max
imum of $1 per hundredweight as
"om pared with the close yesterday.
Mr. Parne.s' assault came in the
f irm of a bulletin of announcement
' the trade. It abounded in tech
licalities. but its purpose was plain.
f wit: That the speculative tend-
:icy in white flour must stop.
As an earnest of his intentions
"ie president of the grain corpora
tions announced that the corpora
tion would cease buying flour for
xport (except first clears and vic
'ory mixed flours) and that also
would resell at such important
nters as New York. P.altimore and
''hiladelphia flour previously
' ounht for export. He named the
rice as "$11.50 jute per barrel."
The technical portions of the
'ulletin dealth with instructions to
fillers and grain men generally, but
lie explanation of his action was
olain to all.
Stop Speculative Fever.
"The purpose of this," said the
bulletin 'is to stop the speculative
fever in flour before it becomes
lecessary to take off all import re
trictions on foreign wheat and
'nur. for there is plenty of Amer
an wheat and flour if this specu
ative tendency is checked."
Mr. Parties' threat, the trade re
lized instantly, had hack of it the
'ict that Canadian granaries and
levators are fairly bursting with
vheat at doors of the United States
lot to mention the vast stories in
ustralia and Argentina.
It is explained that the Canadian
upply has been comparatively little
mpaired by export sales for the rea
on. it is said, that Canada is not at
present in position to extend the
anie credit to Europe that the Unit
ed States is. Also it has been kept
Mit of the United States by the re
strictions of the government which
is not unmindful of the record
breaking domestic crops in prospect.
The government long ago as a war
measure, eliminated wheat from the
peculative arena, but the fortunes
of wheat are proportionately the
fortunes of corn, oats and provisions
mIso, and these staples showed the
fleet of the pronouncements.
Prior to the bulletin the corn
market had been wobbly and off a
few cents for a variety of reasons,
including increased rates and lower
flotations for five hogs. There were
ilso many small buyers in the mar
ket on small mar? ins. They were
sold out wholesale when the real
break came in the afternoon. Prices
dropped like a plummet and were
iiwr the bottom when the closing
goug sounded. Even after that curb
traders were reported offering July
corn at seven-eighths of a cent un
der the official close, which was
51.52 to $1.54

CIPLES IN FANTASY
STORY IS MOST INTERESTING
'Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop" to be Staged
Here May 7th and 8th More
Than 200 in the Cast.
Paper dolls, rag dolls, nigger dolls,
china dolls, dog, cat, pig. monkey,
owl and frog toys, jumping jacks,
clown dolls, toe dancers, singers and
actors are rehearsing every day and
night for the two performances of
"Fi-Fi," a musical fantasy that will
be given at the Parmele .theatre on
May 7th and Sth.
The production is being staged un
der the auspices of the Business Girls
Liberty club.
More than 200 are in the cast. In
cluded in this number are Miss
Freda Sattler, fancy dancer, in one
of the leading characters and Miss
Francis Martin, a rag doll, also has
an important part.
Dolls Brought to Life
The. Part of "Fi-Fi," the French
doll, is taken by Mrs. Howard Rayla
and Ink Spot, a black doll, is im
personated by Miss Theodosia Kroeh
ler. By use of a magic potion given
her by a witch, "Fi-Fi" awakens all
the dolls in the toy shop and brings
them to life, and in the three acts of
the play the dolls and the animal
toys hold high revel in the shop.
Mr. Howard E. Seomo. of Chicago,
who has been in the city for the past
week or more conducting rehearsals
for "Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop," feels
confident that the production here
will surpass many given in larger
astern cities. Mr. Rogers, author of
the extravaganza, has staged the
production in many different com
munities, chiefly in the eastern and
far western states, giving as many
as six performances in some places.
Mr. Rogers furnishes the costumes
and sceneries for his productions.
There is a delightful plot to the
extravaganza, which is more thin
can be claimed by the majority of
such entertainments or for many
professionals. The groups of danc
ers all of whom represent the var
ious kinds of dolls to be found in a
well equipped toy shop, furnish the
"trimmings."
Briefly, the scheme of the play is
this: Bonnie, the toymaker's daugh
ter, wandering in the woods near
her father's shop at the close of the
day, is overtaken by the Sandman,
who casts her into a magic sleep.
She has a wonderful dream, where
the bisque and wooded creations of
the toys come to life and many un
usually strange adventures come to
her and the toys before the morn
ing light scatters the charm.
The scenes are:
Act 1. Scene 1. A woodland near
Bonnie's home; Scene 2, The toy
shop.
Act 2. Scene 1, The toy shop;
Scene 2, The milky way.
Act 3. Scene 1. A garden in Fairy
land; Scene 2, The woods.

REPORTS DOSS OF
EIGHTEEN DOLLARS
Last evening while attempting to
escape a severe shower of rain, Mrs.
Henry Lahoda suffered the loss of
her purse, which she thinks she
dropped out of her coat pocket w hile
hastening to get out of a shower of
rain, going to the Burlington sta
tion. Mrs. Lahoda and sister-in-law,
were doing some trading, and
were at the Day Light store and
stepping out, they started home,
and as they neared Third street, it
began to rain quite hard, and the
ladies ran to the Burlington station
thinking to catch a taxi to go home
in, and when they arrived there the
purse was gone. As the water was
running quite freely in the middle
of the street they had to jump in
order to get over the water, and
thought it might have been dropped
at that time and washed away by
the current. The purse contained
three five dollar bills, one paper
dollar, one silver dollar, and two
half dollars, with a little small
change, making something over
eighteen dollars.
