Kornfeld at Teheran. The note made public Monday at th state department was dellveied Sat urdny and deals only with the mur der by a mob In Teheran of Vice Consul Robert W. Imbrie.

E Market in Chicago Pit Almost Runaway Affair. WHEAT MAKES CLIMB Strong World Situution and Reports of Crop Damage in Cnnadu ' Chief Dull Factors. ( hlcHgd, Rarely Is such a startling contrast In market conditions show as was the case on the Chicago board ot trade Saturday, compared with year ago. Wheat made a steeplejack climb of C'i cents a bushel here, on top many spectacular recent gt.lns. Last year at this time most deliveries of wheat hero were under (I i bush and below the estimated cost ot pro duction, the market demoralized uiul brokers In a rush to sell. Saturday there was an overwhelming rush to buy and as high as fl.li a bushel was paid. a strong worm situation with re spoct to grains, coupled with con tlnuod reports ot extensive damage to the Canadian wheat 'crop, and particular a greatly expanded general purchasing movement, wero reason advanced for the remarkable change from the situation last year.

Hog prices as well as grain values soared. Choice hogs brought J9.S0 the topmost figure since October, 1922, when 110.45 was paid.

(- by MoC'lurt Nw.r Syndic.!..) - ... I Something to Think About bj F. J. irjLK$R BETTER THAN COLD poll ages It 1 of the larger proportion of earth-1 lings to bow to the yellow gd of gold and worship It, overlooking In their In- sane Idolatry the wondrous, enduring , riches thnt lie at their feet, disregard-! ed and trudden down. ' Children come Into the world with shining ryes and laughter on their , lips. They are at blithesome as birds I In the springtime until they are taught j by their purenft to look reverently upon the cold fuce of the god of nuiiu- mon. Then comes a change In their speech , and deportment. The little rich child Is Instructed to look with disfavor up-) on the little poor child, so a sharp line of distinction Is drawn between them and each goes bis or her way, un friendly towards each other. A bitterness springs up In their hearts. As the years rome and go. It grows to pride, disrespect and hate. Then follow the oftreMuted tales of history strife, war, bloodshed, tears and sorrowingstales that have been told over nifd over with rancor since the creation of man. The happiness which the children knew Is crushed to death beneath the ponderous weight ot gold. The rare- free laughter w hich they brougl4 with them hns flown away beyond their rea'ii, and they have become hard faced and sordid, like the rest of ot. thinking and dreaming mostly of earthly wenlth and power. There are some noble spirits, how ever, who scornfully turn their backs upon the false god, refusing to bow down to It or admit Its supremacy. These are the salt of the earth, whose saving substance may redeem the Idolaters. You will find them among the faith ful, the charitable, and big lipiirted. working earnestly for the betterment of mankind, unmindful of riches, for getful of everything else eicei.t the life In which gold loses Its value In the august presence ot character and di vine possibility. Are we among these fuitliful ones, or are we cownrds? Io we tremble In terror at the monstrous god of wealth. Its pomp and splendor snd power, or do we, Ilk the faithful, consider It merely a myth ot time, doomed to banishment with the oncoming dawn of eternity? (t kjr McClure N..p.pr SrnSlral. ) O BIG BROTHER By DOUGLAS MALLOCH $ w MY brother's bigger, lots, than me.
