MARKET NEWS RAINS CHECK WHEAT PRICES; Some Parts of the Canadian Northwest Are Benefitted Chicago, July rains in parts of the Canadian Northwest brought about a sharp downturn in wheat prices today as soon as the market cpened. Sell- ingy was based largely on the ppin- ion that wheat and oats which had; een planted late would receive enefit even though much of the crop was past aid. Setbaéks in Liv- erpool quotations also were a de- pressing factor. prices, which ranged ‘from 7-8 to 4 34-c lower, September $1.24 1-2 to “$1.26 3-4 and December $1.28 to $1.30, were followed by a rally of as much as 2 3-4e in some cases, and then by fresh declines. Heavy selling kept the market weak during most of the day. De- mand appeared to have been filled up at least for the time being.

Beware Old Fraud Under a New Name ‘Government Warns Against “Resurrection Plant” Fakers By NEA Service Washington, July 18.—Beware the resurrection plant fraud, warns the U, S. Department of Agricylture. Various concerns have advertised this plant under different ‘names, and usually at prices far in excess of its market value. It is-oftén sold under the name “Rose of Jericho” or “Rose of Sharon,” said to “have been ‘ob- tained from the Holy land and to have been mentioned by “Solomon, Isaiah and other prophets.” ThE circular of one dealer calls it “Sempter Viva or Rose of Jericho,” offers it for the modest price of 25 cents and describes it as a “deodor- izer” and “a preventive of disease.” ‘Another concern calls it the “Per- sian Plant” or “Cinnamon Rose.” Whe plant is said'to bloom every 30 days, bearing “the. most fragrant flowers in existence.” Resurrection plant is, of course, not a seed plant,' 18.—Drenching ; Chicago opening | weak.

New York, July 18.—Well, the ;Democratic convention, as might have been expected when Tex Rickard arranged to have it held in Madi- son Square Garden, was a hrock- out. It broke all records for number of sessions, number of ballots, amount of money spent by delegates, for high hopes wrecked and animosities engendered. The total expended in dollars and cents to stage the Democratic con- test, exclusive of delegates’ ex- penses, according to the New York Convention Committee, was some- what in excess of $800,000. This committee had arranged its expenditures on the basis of a ccn- vention not exceeding two weeks in duration. When the deadlock car- ried the session over into the third week, the local committee passed the further financing of the show over to the Democratic National Committee. As this committee had a balance of only about $100,000, it immediate- ly began to prune expenses’ and to put on pressure to bring about a nomination. Most of the ushers were dis- charged, the’ lighting diminished and corners cut generally in an effort to save pennies for the later expenses of the campaign. Enough was saved out of cash in hand to pay for the ‘auditing of the convention bills and to move Democratic headquarters back to Washington. To provide cash’for the campaign ahead, however, the Victory Clubs will have to be called on for con- tributions. No $5°check will be re- jected! eee The selection of Davis to oppose Coolidge puts the campaign on an intellectual level seldom reached. in American politics. That is, so far bears no flowers and is odorless. The true “Rose of Jericho” is a small white-flowered annual of the mustard. family...

Neither is of what is generally known as the politician type. Althought both are lawyers, Cool- idge has spent more time holding office than Da a vis more time practicing law Coolidge. As a lawyer, Davis carries interna- tional well as national recogni- tion, having been made, during his term as,ambassador to the Court of St. James, an honorary bencher of| * J the Middle Temple! Much has been said recently about Davis’ employment as counsel for Wall street interests, including J. P. Morgan and Co. This inevitably will be made one of the points of op- position during the campaign. As a balance to this, emphasis is pl@ed by Davis’ backers on the fact that he once was attorney, without fee or retainer, for Eugehe Debs and “Mother” Jones. This was in the days when Davis, a young lawyer without clients, had} just hung out his shingle at Clarks- burg, W. Va. Debs and “Mother” Jones came to town to take a hand in a campaign to organize mine workers there- abouts. West Virginia mine owners,| then as now, didn’t want their ers organized, and also controiled, then as now, the local authorities. So Debs and “Mother” Jones were arrested on some technical charge and put behind the bars. Yeung - Davis saw a chance to try out some/ of his newly acquired legal tech-| nique. His friends, however, insist that what moved him. was a sense of || injustice in the strong-arm methods } employed by the mine workers. ‘Anyway, he went over to the jail, volunteered his services to the union workers and shortly had them free again. That story, doubtless, will be told with much emphasis in union} circles during \the campaign. .

District Attorney Plans to Photograph Them to Prevent Suche Action YS PERMIT PLAN Duluth, July 18-—Because the government suspects that convicted bootleggers are hiring substitutes to serve their sentences in county jails and prisons, the government plans to photograph beotleggers to prevent such substitution, LaFayette French, Jr. United States district At present there is no practical way to tell whether the man who walks into the county jail to which John Doe, bootlegger, has been sen- tenced, and who s, “I am John Doe. I have come to serve my time,” really is Doe or a man hired by Doe to sojourn as the govern- ment’s guest for the period of the sentence, while Doe spends his time in the profitable liquor vending pur- suit to which he has grown accus- tomed, charging the pay of his sub- stitute presumably, to overhead, Mr. French said. Stays Permit Substitutions Many bootleggers, upon convic- tion, get a stay of a few days in their sentences, presumably to wind up their affairs, and it is the opin- ion of the government that this in- terval of a week or so, some times more, permits the substitution. Fre- quently court adjourns for the term while the bootleggers under — sen- tence are enjoying freedom under bond, he said, and when the men come to surrender they do not face the prohibition agents, the g ment attorneys, nor the judg jected them, but jaile: eriffs unfamiliar with the siognomy. The opportunity of these prisoner Mr. French ‘rnment’s belie! it present and h: time, though he said it is difficult for su! Photos to Ban Substitutions The use of photograph cided upon, and the picture: used in much the same manner upon commitment pap in the future as s method I make vit certain) thabl the penalties anded out by federal judges will be id by the men for whom they “are ntended and not by second parties. In addition to preventing subs tution of prisoners, Mr. French said, | the photographs also could serve in identifying some of the men who, arrested for the second or third times, use fictitious names in ordef to avoid more serious jail sentence, or possible imprisonment at Leaven- worth. “This work should be in charge of prohibition forces,” Mr. French said, “and such an arrangement would have been made some time] ago when the reports of the oper- ations of the bootleggers first reached us, but for the fact that there were no funds available. How- eve me such an arrangement is necessary to prevent the liquor law violators from escaping serving their time in jail.” Mr. French said the matter of titution by the bootleggers in has been placed before S. B. Qvale, state prohibitions director, along with information concerning alleged laxness of certain jailers.

Here are literally hundreds of people, hundreds of animals, and more Neuen? carn than you find in a small-sized ‘actory—all on the move. Here is a complete city, set up every day in a strange place—giving a parade and two performances — taken down, packed away, loaded on a train, moved to another city and set up again. Any business can learn something’ about efficiency from a circus. Take the “24-hour man” as one example. ° The “24-hour man” goes one day ahead of the circus. He contracts for all the food for this army of performers. He arranges to have a local bakery deliver bread; he buys vegetables and meat; he buys tons of hay for the horses and elephants. The “24-hour man” sees the -city officials. He arranges for g license; he arranges for water, piped to “the lot;” sometithes he ar- ranges for electricity, he sees that “the lot” itself is clear and ready for occupancy the next day. : Then comés the circus. All it has to do is go to “the lot,” set up, give its parade and its two performances. If it were not for the “24-hour man” the circus itself would stand a fair chance of wast- ing its titne and spending its energy running down and taking care of the details which one man handled so efficiently the day before. ™ e+ oe * fh Does Your Business Need a 24- Hour Man? The “24-hour man” of business is printing. Printing takes care of a thousand details. which would otherwise fall upon a salesman.
