Threatens Peace
Of Philippine
(o eminent Authorities Take
Drastic Measures to Protect
Public Funds From De
faulting Cashiers.
By CHARLES A. DAILEY.
(Chicago Trlbiine-Omaiiii lire Foreign
Newt Merilce.)
Manila, Nov. 27. Next to cock
fighting the favorite sport or di
version of the Filipino is Ranibliiiff.
and Rambling also dominates the
cockpit. Matters have got so bad
that the government lias been forced
to take drastic steps in order to pro
lect the public funds, and already
has suffered losses which probably
will be difficult to make up through
ihe bondsmen. A recent executive
Grain Markets Under Fire;
Two Varieties of Trading
Only a Few of Main Grain Exchanges Maintain Op
tion Markets and Dealings in Futures Forms
Basis for Criticism "Hedging" a Form
Of Trading to Protect Cash Deals.
Around by 1 lie rapid decline m
ihe price of wheat, corn and oats
farmers throughout the grain-pro
ducing states are making vigorous
protest against what they claim to
be ' manipulation of the market on
which they sell their produce Dire
hardships are shown by some who
are being offered less than cost ipr
their products, and the result is that
the whole process of marketing is
being subjected to a new and search
nig inspection, under these circum
stances an analysis of marketing
conditions is particularly interesting
The" country produced this year a
rder issued bv the acting chief,
A. de las Alas, forbids municipal g00d wheat crop, a good oats crop
and an enormous Corn crop. Matu
treasurers from retaining in the mil
nicipal safe funds in excess of their
bonds, and they are to he held
strictly accountable. Not will any
accountable government officer lie
allowed to indulge in any form of
gambling, tinder penalty of dis-
niissat.
"Experience has shown," says the
circular, "that the cause of most de
falcations committed by accountable
provincial and municipal otnciais
and employes is gambling, and that
the defaulter has been gambling for
nnie lime with Kovcrnmcnt funds
and this fact docs not come to the
attention of the insular authorities
until he has lost beyond his ability
to cover. . !" . . The slightest
suspicion of gambling should be
nnmrrliatdv iii vestieated, and any
nn found cuiltv should be dealt
with . . . with a view to his ira-
merliat fvnillsioll.
"Gambling should be held to in
clude not only such games as nfonte
and iucteng, but also cock fighting
and the games of poker, panguingue,
burro and the like."
The circular directs that provin
cial treasurers shall require munici
pal treasures to telephone them at
nofcn every Saturday, and oftencr
during the heavy collection period,
the total amount of cash in the muni
cipal treasury that day. Whenever
the sum exceeds the amount of the
bond, then the excess funds must be
liquidated immediately. Monthly
liquidations are required, except in
unusual cases. Daily examination
of the cash, including national bank
agency funds and Liberty bonds de
posited for safekeeping or distribu
tion, also is required, and all excess
over the; amount of the bond must
be transmitted at once to thft pro
vincial treasurer. ' '
All of which is going to put a
great crimp into the national pas
time, and there is some hope that it
will improve the national treasury,
which is st very low ebb.
Chinaman, 60, Is
Human Junk Cart
Chew Gui, Unfolds 73 Pounds
of Articles at Semi-An-"
nual Bath.
Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 27. Chew
Cui, a Chinese, 60. has had his semi
annual "roundup" and semi-annual
bath.
Chew Gui is an institution so far
as the local police are concerned. He
rambles the streets of Chinatown day
and night, sleeps in odd corners and
under freight cars and collects such
a miscellany of junk in his 29 pockets
that every six months the police
have to take the j weight off his
Mrooping shoulders.
When attendants at Central sta
tion searched him after the latest
"'roundup" they found 72 pounds of
iunk in his possession. An itemized
list of the articles follows: Chie
hundrd and forty-three business
cards,-292 . rusty nails.- 31 ballbear
ings, 22 pieces of insulated wire, 49
iron nuts, 19 pieces of rubber from
automobile tires, 1 broken horseshoe,
12 pieces of silk, 28 pieces of calico,
47 cardboard box covers, 27 calen
dars. 18 pieces of broken glass, 86
bundles of tangled string, 8 pennies,
1 broken fountain pn, 9 lead pencils,
3 iron handles, 1 pedal from motor
cycle, 1 broken toy bell.
, Chew Gui was given a 60-day sus
pended sentence by a police judge
and sent on his way.
Mayor Thanks Burglars
Who Uncovered Whisky
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 27. Former
Mayor James G. Woodward is hap
py because burglars who visited his
home in 251 East Hunter street in
their ramblings about his home dis
covered some old rye liquor which
had been hid ten years ago and
which Mr. Woodward had forgotten
Icrg sgo.
Whe Mr. Woodward and his
family returned home late several
half pint bottles of Ltwis 66, Four
Roses, Three Feathers and other
brands were found on the floor in
ore of the rooms. Clothing worth
several hundred dollars was taken.
Why the burglars did not steal
the liquor is the most amazing thing
about the robbery.
France Cuts Army Service
, For Conscripts to Two Years
Paris. Nov. 27. Minister of War
Andre Lefevre, despite his belief that
Germany is militarily a permanent
danger to France, has decided to re
iruce the term of service of French
conscripts to two years instead of
three.
The first of the young Frenchmen
called to the colors since the war
have just reached garrison towns and
they include thousands of young Al
satians and Lorrainers who are to
serve in big French cities so that
they may get familiar with puicly
French methods and learn the lan
guage which only a few speak and
understand
Mexican Who Claims to Be
Christ Held for Examination
Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 27. A
sensation has been caused in Tam
pico by the appearance of a man who
serts that he is Christ. He has beer,
detained for examination as to his
sanity. .
According to reports from Tampi
ro. great crowds gathered about the
to get a glimpse of the man. j
7
rally, the law of supply and demand
would cause somewhat lower prices
than those of the high war levels,
but the declines have been so radical
that many have concluded that the
price is being manipulated for the
benefit of a certain class or clique
somewhere between the producer
and the consumer. Meetings are
being held inan endeavor to protect
the producer and assure him a fair
price for his product.
Two Kinds of Markets.
In considering grain markets there
are two distinct markets to be kept
in mind. One is the primary cash
grain market; the other is what is
commonly known as the "future" or
"option" market. There arc in the
United States between 40 and 50 pri
mary cash markets, and only six or
seven have "option" dealing in con
nection with their other operations.
Grain and traffic experts estimate
that not over 25 per cent of the
crops of the country are nanaiea
through the primary cash grain mar
kets. The balance three-fourths of
the total is fed on the farm or
shipped direct to consumer-feeders
or mills. It is the surplus which
goes through the market.
Almost every section of the coun
try is within easy shipping distance
of at least one primary cash grain
market, sometimes two or three. At
these markets the cram is traded
under government supervision and
by government standards, is weighed
under tha supervision of the state
or disinterested parties and is sold
on open competitive bids. The buyer
and seller meet at the market on
common ground, cither' direct or
through their respective agents. The
men with grain to sell are able, be
cause of the market, to find a buyer;
the buyers, are attracted to t,he mar
ket because inspection standards are
fixed and because different grades
can be chosen with a certainty of
honest grading. In this way, a sale
secured for all grades of grain
some of which have, extreme diffi
culty in finding a buyer without such
a market. .
Market For Samples.
Such markets attract about them
large storage and handling facilities
which assist materially in the sale of
grain. In various ays, also, they
can assist ii. financing the movement
of the crop, at times a vital matter.
Under the influence of price de
clines such as at present, there are
people who urge that these markets
be wiped out, that the producer go
direct to the consumer. As a matter
of fact, three-fourths of all the grain
is sold direct; only the surplus is
handled through the market. If the
producer believes he can sell to bet
ter advantage direct, he does so;
if not, he sells through the market.
The abandonment of the market
would take away from the producer
the choice of two alternatives and
finding a direct sale, at times not an
easy proposition.
The fact is that the criticism of
the grain markets is directed,
whether th critics themselves fully
realize it or not, at tnc second class
of markets the "future" or "oii-
t;on" markets rafher than at the
primary cash grain markets.
Hedging.
On. thefe "future" markets, there
are two classes 'of trades, rirst
there is the purchase or sale of "fu
tures agmst sales or purchases of
cash grain or its manufactured prod
ucts. 1 hi s is commonly known as
hedging. Ihe other is the pur
chase or sale of "futures" where cash
grain or its manufactured products
does not enter into the transaction.
The "hedging" represents not to
exceed 5 per cent of the total trades
in futures , the deals which are
backed by no actual grain represent
95 per cent.
Hedging is a legitimate opera
tion and but for the necessity of
suoh an insurance method, the fu
ture" markets would probably have
beta abandoned loner ago.
The oossible credit that can be I
given to the 95 per cent of option
trading is that it makes a ready
market for the 5 per cent of legiti
mate "hedging" trades, but it is a
question m the minds of many peo
ple as to whether or not the evil ef
fects of the 95 per cent do not so
far outweigh the necessity of the 5
per 'cent, that it would be for the
best interests ot the country at large
to do away entirely with all fu
ture or option markets.
Dog Catches His
Neighbor's Chicks
Master, Admits He Trained
Canine for Raids and
Is Fined.
By International News Service.
Atlanta, Ga Nov.- 27. Gyp the
Blood, a cannine of somewhat doubt
ful anccstryywas trained by his mas
ter, Louis Kelley,' of No. 423 Ira
street, to catch chidcens and bring
them to his home, according to evi
dence brought out at Kelley's trial
before Magistrate George, E. John
son, Jn the Atlanta police court, Kel
ley was fined $6 for allowing his
dog to run at -large without being
properly muzzled.
Kelley admitted he had trained
Gyp to catch chickens. But the rea
son, he explained, was because neigh
bors' chickens had been flying into
his yard and making the days and
early mornings hideous.
"So I trained Gyp to catch them,
but I never dreamed he would go
out of the yard and catch every
chicken in the -neighborhood," said
Kelley, who came home one day and
found chickens piled up in his yard
by the dozens that Gyp had gone out
and brought in.
"Muzzle your dog," Kelley, "and
keep him in your yard," Magistrate
Johnson admonished Kelley.
Seven Slackers in Seattle ,
Are Denied Citizen's Right
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 27. Seven
slackers and one bootlegger were de
nied citizenship with prejudice re
cently by Superior Judge A. W. pra
ter upon evidence presented by Chief
Naturalization Examiner Smith.
In the case of the seven slackers,
evidence was produced to the effect
that all claimed exemption from mili
tary service during the war, ' the
grounds being alien birth. The boot
legger's petition was denied because
he had been fined $100 for selling
liquor in violation of the 18th amend
ment. ; '
Good Dentistry
Must Have
Sensible
Diagnosis as Its
Foundation
IIR. G. D. SHIPHERD,
Vice Pre, and Gen.
Mgr. for the paat neve n
year.
There are very few dentists who have devoted
the time and patience to diagnosis that Dr. Ship
herd has found necessary. It is his contention
that the ultimate satisfaction to which every pa
tient looks forward cannot be realized without
the RIGHT diagnosis.
He has made this his specialty and it is the care
in this respect that accounts in a large measure
for the remarkable success that he. has had in
bringing BAILEY DENTISTRY to the fore
most ranksof popularity with the public
Dr. Shipherd says that there can be no SATIS
FACTORY dentistry without the foundation of
SCIENTIFIC DIAGNOSIS. In other words the
right start is the solution of about 75 of the
problem.
It doesn't matter how trivial your dental trouble may
seem to you it is important that your judgment be con
firmed by a THOROUGH DENTAL DIAGNOSIS.
Don't indulge in delay dental trouble always Reserves
a "Do it Now" policy.
