The noise doesn't bother me, be cause I'm making it. And I'm mak ing it because I like if. It's like music to me. If I oiled1 my chair I couldn't amuse myself, and if I didn t keep rocking the seat I'd have to sit still, and then I might get nervous. ' i ' I like' to experiment with the squeak. Sometimes I mike it short and snappy, like filing a saw. Some times I try a , long drawn 'out "skwe-e-e-e-e-e-e-e" to see. how long 4 can make it last. It doesn't hinder MY work, so why should it keep others from do ing theirs? And why should' I care if it does? And if I know it annoys others it only makes me squeak my chair all the more. I like to watch the effect on 'em and see who can stand it the longest. (Copyright, 1920 Thompson Feature Service.) , Parents Problems VI. How much attention should be paid to a child's statements' as to what he or she "would like to be" when grownup? v Such statements on the part ol even a young child should be re ceived seriously, but not too se riously. When the boy or girl of 12 or 14 mentions any preference as to a future career, very serious atten tion should fie paid to it, and the child given the opportunity for vo cational training.. If, as a result of the vocational training, the boy or cirl decided upon some other career, then .opportunity should be given for further different training along this Tether line. Spot Cotton.

Washington, June 18. Detroit, with a numerical increase and rate of growth larger than Chicago's and second only to New York's during the last 10 years, is now fourth larg est city of the country, displacing St. Louis and outranking Boston, Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, all of which were larger than the Michigan city '10 years ago. De troit's 1920 population, announced today by the census bureau, is 993, 739, an increase of 527,973 or 113.4 per cent. Cleveland, 796,836, increase of 236,173 or 42.1 per cent. Lynchburg, Va.( 29,956; increase 462 or 1.6 per cent. Cleveland Fifth Largest. Detroit in the only city of 100,000 or more which has more than dou bled its population in the last 10 years. Cleveland, also with a large in crease, has outstripped St. Louis and Bostqn, and takes rank as fifth largest city of the United States. Its increase during the last 10 years has been exceeded only by New York, Chicago, Detroit and ,Los Angeles. With announcement of the popu lations of Cleveland and Detroit, the definite ranking of the country's 18 largest cities has been established. New York and Chicago remain first and second largest cities, respective ly. Philadelphia is the only one of the 18 whose 1920 population has not been announced, but it is not likely that the Pennsylvania city's rank as third largest in the country will be changed. Detroit had jumped into fourth place and Cleveland into fifth position, forcing St. Louis into sixth, Boston into seventh, Baltimore into eighth and Pittsburgh into ninth places. v Los Angeles is Tenth, Los Angeles, with a largest rate of growth, advanced'from 17th rank to 10th and displaced Buffalo 'as well as attaining the honor of being the largest city west, of St. Louis San Francisco retained 11th rank and Buffalo . dropped from 10th to 12th, while Milwaukee was forced into loth place. Washington.- D. G. moved from 16th to 14th position, displacing Newark, N. J., which dropped into 15th position. Cincinnati. 13th largest city in 1910, now ranks as 16th.

Rye gained l2c and barley 16c. Small breaks were witnessed early on local selling, but there was active buying by strong commission houses in both corn and oats, and the surplus was Ntaken out of the markets. Shorts started to cover and found little for sale. There was rather persistent buying of July and selling of , September corn by sev eral houses with eastern connections. Shippers and industries competed for the offerings of cash corn and the close was at the top and 4'4c above the close of the previous day, With No. 2 yellow about 10'Ac over the July. Receipts were 143 cars. Crop reports were favorabk on the whole. Oats Advance. Oats showed Independent strength and advanced sharply with September In ths lead.

Colorado, South Dakota and Wisconsin sold grain to arrive, and Illinois offered new rye for July shipment. Figures were firm er with other grains with a scattered trade. Soma soiling for foreign account early. Receipts, 2 cars. Barley prices were unchanged, although mixers and feed dealers bought a few cars of low grades. Malting demand, slow.

Some rain last night." Germany has been bidding 'direct for cash rye In the last few days. One house had a cable, but payment was to be made In German money In Bremer. Overnight shipping sales were 7,000 bushels corn and 26,000 bushels oats. The east canceled previous purchases of 15,000 bushels each of corn and oats.

Co.,Poug12627,June 18. Close. yest. t'kliago Triimue Oinui a lite Leaned W ire. New York, June 18 A fairly brisk awakening of busirtess in business in stocks brolight higher prices all around and indicated that professional efforts to depress quo tations ion preceding days had brought ,110 satisfaction to the sell ers. Outside of , short covering, the quality of trading showed nothing unless it was the repurchase of some of the railroad stocks by owners who let them go after the Chicago & Northwestern dividends were re duced. Delaware & Hudson gained three points and sizeable, fracticr.al ad vances occurred among .other dividend-paying carriers, hut the more prominent movements were in the automobile, steel and oil issues, to gether with a number of specialties. These advanced one to five points and the momentum gained in the last hour was sufficiently preat to prevent anything more than a pause in the rise when call money rose from 7 to 9 per cent just before the end of the session. A factor in the tightening of demand fdnds was evidently the payment of S50.000.noo by subscribers to the Belgian government loan. The turnover of shocks was considerably greater than th. day before, which is not saying much when last winter's million share sessions are considered. More Confldenc. Shown. The short Interests presumably felt that their Inability to get prices down earlier in the week made discretion the Dtttor part of valor In the light of news likely to affect sentiment. Th. declaration of the usual Great Northern pn-forred dividend for the quarter, to acther with a similar declaration by the Northern raciftc directors on Thursday. converted an uncertain situation Into ono or more confidence. . Today's crop forecast fram Kansas and Nebraska Indicated a yield of winter wheat perhaps 25,000.000 bushels In ex cess of earlier estimates for these states and weather reports in other grain local ities were favorable for the week. Tho cotton market scored an advance, buy ing being predicted on weather state ments which told of too much rain, but a summary of conditions in the wheat nnd corn belts shows that the last ten days have been favorable for growing plants and the putting in of late seed. Exchange Drops. Sterling exchange, rather unexpectedly shaded downward today, despite further in formation about pending gold Imports. Kvlctcntly. traders were not certain that Incoming metal would be for British gov ernment account inasmuch as the im pression prevailed In banking juarters that 3S, 0,000 cr eo to be received in ths next few days would b. sent from Ottawa for ithe account of ths Canadian government,. An interestlngi Item In th. foreign news was that American Didders had been suc cessful at the London gold auction mar ket this week. 'These sales are usually small and have not thus far hid any ma terial effect upon exchange. Sterling de tuned a halt cent, but French rates were firm and Italy repeated th. now familiar process ot recording a sizeable gain. Domestic silver remained at the pegged price ot 99 Ho per ounce, but there was a decline of a cent In the foreign silver quotation to 96c. This reaction at the sam. time that the London quotation at 49 pence- per ounce, presumably was a natural reverse, caused by too rapid an advance the day before when th. market first responded to the arrangement be tween the director of the mint and do mestic silver producers to purchase the product of American mines and refiners at 81 per onunce.
