Wheat Prices
Only the inexorable economic law of supply and demand,
fixes the price of wheat. We are constantly assured this by
the Chicago Board of Trade and its members, its bankers
and its press propagandists, who reap fortunes buying and
selliiicf the world's food supply.
It was a world wide scarcity, we were gravely informed,
that three times in the past three months sent the price of
wheat over $2 a bushel. Likewise it must have been an
undiscovered surplus that sent it tumbling down again, as
fast as it climbed.
Almost daily for the past month, the fluctuations have
been so violent as to force legitimate purchasers to withdraw
from the market until it has been stabilized. Meanwhile the
consumer is mulcted excessive and unnecessary prices for
wheat products, without benefitting the producer, who
long ago sold his crop.
There is no secret concerning world production of wheat,
:rop conditions, market demands, etc. Reliable international
figures are compiled reflecting the actual output and on
sumption. A short crop means higher prices, but it does not
necessarily mean spectacular rises and sensational declines
within a few minutes of each other. These are due to the
grain speculators, who play the wheat pit like a gambling
game and win or lose fortunes like roulette players, the only
difference being that the public loses as well as the gamesters.
M:iny efforts have been made to control marginal specula
tion in grain and substitute a stabilized market, as for other
products, but so far the grain gamblers have successfully
resisted regulation and maintained their get-rich-quick
swindle with its lure of great fortunes magically won and as
speedily lost. Until the production is controlled, the market
ing can not be.

The Youthful Heart Clumselb
'I found aoon after you left.
Li 11 em ay." continued . Mra Vail,
that I waa still youthful a youth
la reckoned today. I aaw thai
possibly I could snatch some of tlie
Joya of youth for myself. Do you
biamo me, my daughter, bee a us
X am taking them?
"But wo won't discuis these
thine. Llilemay. All my life 1
have been thinking and planning,
analyzing and comparing and dia
ciwsing with myself my actions.
Sow, 1 don't want to think about
them at all. 1 don't want to think
even about money. I just want to
spend it, to make It fulfil) my Im
pulses: I just want to act, dear, I
don't want to think how J shall
act.
'This morning however. Llile
may, we have get to decide about
omg home. Do you want to go
back immediately to California or
do you want to stay In New 1 ork
for a Uttlo while?1'
Llilemay turned quickly and
threw her arms about her mother's
neck. "I want to go home, mother,
I want to go home. I want to see
if the place I remember has chang
ed as much as you have, mother
dear."
Although her daughter spoke
with a smile, a hurt look passed
over Mrs. Vatl's face. And then
she ernlled and said: "I am afraid,
my dear, that you will find your
old home has changed as much as
I and I expect it has changed in
the same way.
"The place where you were born
Is only an old fie'd with great
black derricks, the hum of mach
inery and the raucous tones of
workmen. All this is pervaded
with the smell of crude oil.
"The place that now you will
have to call home is an estate
which I bought In the foothills of
Hollywood soon after you went
away.
"I think you will love my pink
Indian villa Just as love me atter
you get used to uj in our trans
formed st.tte.
"At first slfiht, however, you
will be probably i s surprise I and
dis-ippjlntcj with It as you were
with your mother.'
Mrs. Vail was hurt rtt Lillemny'.s
frank expression f disappointment
fn her but she tried to hide it a
.he lightly kissed her daugiiler's
cheek and told her th.it he was
going to drees for breikf.:l.
"Would you like to come to my
suite for breakfast or will you
havo It sent here?" she ruked.
Lillemay answered: "i d love to
breakfast with you, mother dear,
and I ahall be down" In ten min
A Mrs. Vail clewed the door,
!ier daughter felt that in Si'ine
way phe had been put outs;de her
mother's loving arm and she won

of their conversation of the nisht
before.
Sin- had come home to be her
mother's chief counsellor and guide
and she had been d implanted by
an adventurer.
Suddenly she determined to
change her tactics, yhe picked up
her hand glass and what she .iw
tltere again gave her great cmir-
ag-.

You shall not cnly lilto me but

With an admirable start of sur

"That is what I have come to
do." the man said aa he came for

Harold Kennedy grasped tha ex

was very winning as he answered:
"I could forgive you for much
more than that my dear Lille.
Ueauty can alt anything and II
will be given her. Surely you
must havo leu rued that before
now."
" ihnpe I shall never put you

Geo. C. Will. 432 State
Reformers
The London Outlook holds up the profession of reformer
as an admirable method of making a comfortable livlihood,
without overstrain of effort and declares:
It ix peculiarly suitable for the more ilrllrate youths, who are
entirely unscrupulous, and yet have not the nerve to undertake the
more dangerous trades of murder, anion or forgery. For the chief
quality necessary in a professional reformer is to be two-thirds a bit
of a humbug. The cleverest of the class even deceive themselves.
These principles apply to all creeds and all parties.
The public likes to be humbugged and hence the uplifter
and the welfare worker, the humanitarian and altruistic
reformer finds easy picking. As a people we are indifferent
and lazy and hence fork-up willingly en masse for those wlio
offer to do the uplifting for us. It is so much easier to
delegate some willing worker to do the job than it ia to get
busv ourselves.
The phcnominal growth of luncheon and service clubs
vhich furnish a forum for the reformer as well as tn
propagandist, have greatly stimulated the profession of
reformer, and as a result many fool laws have been added to
the statute books for regulating the other lellow all o
which furnish jobs for reformers at taxpayers expense.
So fast has the profession of reformer and minder o
r.Uw.1- nwiiilnV business increased that regular courses should
be installed in all our colleges, for there is no easier nor mor
lucrative calling.
