The reason for this 1s obvious. Our large circulation—greater than that of any two other newspaper in the state—brings the results. If get the results, we get the business. Anything you have can be sold or traded through a Tribune Want Ad, at a cost so slight as to be negligible. If you want to borrow money or trade your plano for a Ford, a Tribune Want Ad accomplishes the result. If you have fresh eggs to sell; {f you want to dispose of a relinquishment on a homestead; if you would trade a phonograph for a washing machine, an_ electric sweeper for a bird dog, a shotgun for a typewriter, or a winter over- coat for a fishing pole, a ‘Tribune Want Ad will do the trick. You can sell a cake of soap to a Bol- shevik who doesn’t believe in wash ing, through a Tribune Want Ad. All advertising is based on a rate per thousand circulation. In addi- tion to being the best medium the ‘Tribune's advertising rate per thou sand is by far the lowest in tho state. To uy, sell, barter or exchange, from electric light fixtures to shade trees, from baby carriages to incu: bators, use Tribune Want Ads. You can get rid of anything you do not want at a profit, or get anything you do want at a bargain. Try them and see. you CONVICT IS CAUGHT RETURNED TO PRISON who reached here late lest evening.

Sales on the Chicago board of trade are as necessary to the con- tinulty of this flow of grain, the court said, as are stock yards sales n the movement of cattle. It was added that the evidence showed that future trading does have an effect on the cash price of grain. e fact that corners tn grain have been brought about by dealings in futures evidenced, the decision said, the retallations between future deal- ngs and cash grain.
