GRAIN PRICES HOLD FIRM DURING WEEK Fine Harvest Conditions Are Offset by Black Rust. Hogs $1 Higher. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. July 7.—Excellent bhar- vest conditions for winter wheat and increasing nervousness in regard to black rust damage to spring wheat have virtually offset each other as price factors th!s week. In conse- quence wheat values this morning mpared with a week ago showed no decided change, varying from % cent decline to & cent advance, with corn ranging from 1 oats, 1% to 1% down, and provisions, at 15 to 40a42 gain. Aside from the opposed effects of harvest progress and of black rust danger, the wheat market showed by the relative firmuess of prices for the July delivery that the movement of hew wheat from first hands was be- lated and was apparently indicative of unusual reluctance to sell on the part of growers. On the other hand, lack of sustained Buying Interest on the part of specu- lators was plainly in evidence, and export demand continued to be of only a hand-to-mouth character. In- fluenced chiefly by prospects that the winter wheat harvest in Kansas Migsouri and Nebraska would be com- pleted without delay, lowest prices of the season were duplicated by the September delivery. rice rallies scored in the wheat market, although largely due to fear ob black rust danger, were also us- cribed more or less to the indirect eftect of bullish estimates regarding corn acreage. According to authori- tative figures, the amount of land seeded to corn this year as compared with 1923 shows more than 1,000,000 acres reduction Favorable weather for the growth of corn and oats put December corn 2nd September and December oats down to the lowest prices vet this season. Feeding demand for corn, however, continued to keep the corn supply here small and to lift the Chicago price of July delivery. Provisions responded to nearly $i advance in the hog market and to more lively demand from Europe. FATHERS HAPPY IN 1820. Then They (it;uld Prea;h Moralities to Their Families, But Today— ‘Mobert M. Gay, in the Atlantic Monthly. Especially to be envied is the father of the 1820°s, because he could plant Wimself on the hearth rug with his legs apart and his hands under his coat tails and thunder moral remarks 4. s cnilgren without any fear of being interrupted There is nothing that guch a sense of well-being gives one as to thunder moral remarks at somebody, | but the opportunities for doing 8o are becoming fewer and fewer. Now and then in an advertisement in a magazine we see & well fed and well preserved man of middle age sitting behind an office desk and pointing a finger at a group of cringing opera- tives as an illustration of what a cvourse in will power can do for one, and we see at a glance that he Is being moral with all his might and is,_consequently, a happy man. ‘But in real life we rarely see any one do that—certainly never a father. When it is necessary for the modern father to be moral. he tries to bs jovial rather than Jovian and insinu- Btive rather than incendiary. He begine his homily with some such preamble as, “Not to seem to preach.” or “Not to pose as an oracle,” or “With no desire to appear om- niscient,” and as like as not the son or daughter who is listening breaks in encouragingly, “That's right. Don't come the heavy, father; that's a good fellow,” or “That's a dear old thing. Who could be moral after that? And is it really quite fair? The mod- ern father has few enough pleasures in any event, and it seems as if he might have been permitted to keep this little one of thundering at his family now and then. No one ever paid much attention to him, anyway, even in 1820; but he got an innocent pleasure out of it as well as an abid- ing sense of security out of feeling his feet planted firmly on the eternal rock of fundamental right and wrong. He sald proudly, “I am an old- fashioned man,” and all the other fathers cried, “Hear! hear!” Today he prefaces his remarks to the family with the phrase, “I may be old-fash- foned, but d the younger gen- eration giggles. _— The Spirit Courageous. Prom the New York Herald. That was a touching picture at Belmont Park the other day when the good bay mare, Sweet Kiss, after winning the steeplechase, stood with lowered head over the body of her fallen rider, Frank Hayes. The ani- mal knew instictively what the cheer- ing throngs in the stands could not know. that the final act in the tragedy of a human life was over. As Hayes brought Sweet Kiss down the stretch a trifle ahead of the field the rider was keen, alert, vibrant with pul- sating life. A moment later, when the cheers of the crowds rose and swelled, his body relaxed and he fell from his mount to the turf. ‘The story of Jockey Hayes and his one winning ride after a rigorous course of training that sapped his vitality is one of those dramas of real 1ife that arrest the attention of a busy city occasionally and turn the thoughts of millions briefly toward the mysteries of existence. Here was a lad who was bound to rise in his trade of horsemanship at any cost. An Indomitable spirit drove him on to sacrifice his health to success, and he lasted just long enough to make his dream come true. He won his race and died in the saddle. It {s easy to say, after the event, that Frank Hayes should have been ¥estrained from taking such a rash gamble with life. But., being what he was, where he was, driven by ambition to rise in his calling, for his employers to refuse him the op- Eflrtunll)’ to make good would have een close to cruelty. He got his chance and with 1t vic- tory. Millions of newspaper readers are hoping that Hayes heard the stands cheering his success before death overchame his senses. ‘What's in a Name. @rom the St. Louis Star. “One of my temants,” relates the owner of a large apartment house, “was & young woman who clerked in & large merchantile office. She handed me a. check for the usual amount, but whe had used a dlfferent form. I _see you have changed your fank,” I remarked. o “‘Oh, no, not at all’ she replied. “‘But this check is drawn on the Lincoln-Alliance and I thought you banked with the Merchants.’ ““So I do', she explained, ‘but I ran out of checks of my own bank and so I borrowed one from a friend 1n the office who banks with the Lin- coln-Alliance.’ ““And you have no account there? € asked. “*Why no; of course mot.’ “T tried to explain. But—oh, well, what's the use? She was vexed. I had questioned the validity of her check when she had money in the bank. I had inferred doubt of her honesty. I was no gentleman.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 7.—Weather con- ditions were largely responsible for the weak condition of the butter market during the closing days of June and early part of this week. Hot dry weather in the early part of the week brought a burdensome supply of undergrade butter to the markets, which were further wegk- ened by the holiday, bringing a light demand and uncertainty as to the course of the market. Demand for storage butter, which has been dormant, had a counteract- ing effect later in the week. In New York an actlve demand sprang up and found offerings for desirable goods very light. Confidence in the market was restored as stocks clean- ed up. and although declines later are expected, prediction of sharp breaks is less common. Reports indicate the peak of pro- duction s passed, but excellent veather conditions are eoxpected to rake the decline from the peak slower than usual. Among imported stock, Danish but- ter is finding favor in New York. Esthonian and Holland were included in imports during the week. Cana- dian markets declined some, but were still too high for American pur- chasers. Range in wholesale prices, 92 score butter, during the week were s follows: Chicago, unchanged to 8712; New’York, one-half higher, at 38: Boston. one-half lower, at 38%; Philadelphia, unchanged, at 39. GREEK BEAUTY FRAIL. Athens’ Glory Vanished Because Race Was Swallowed Up. From the Wide World. The citizens of Athens were as far above the average person today in mental appreciation, at the height of Athenian glory, as’the modern per- 8on is above a coolle. Who were the Athenians? And why did they excel? And, far more important for us, why did they stop excelling? The ‘Athenians belonged to the second or Ionian wave of Greeks who invaded Greece. They were not na- tive there. Their homeland was in the upper valley of the Danube river. They were a branch of the Celtic race, and their descendants are not found today in Greece, but in Baltic Europe. Espireis is a Greclan Celt. Athens was great because of its women. It is a truth that there can be no great sons unless there are first great mothers. Espireis reveals much of the glory that was Greece's. Her mind reasons. She is versatlle, poetical, artistic, just, und. above all. appreciative. Greece has not departed from the world. It has merely left Greece. So long as the race of Espireis lives so long will there be hope for Athens to return.. Up to the days of Pericles the Athenians guarded their Aryan heritage as something most sacred. An Athenian father and, mark, an Athenian mother, were necessary be- fore a man could vote, But the Athenians never were numerous, even in Athens. They were a blonde military autocracy, ruling brunettes by arms, and at the height of Athenian power they were far ‘outnumbered by natives in the city. The politicians of that day thought it would be a fine idea to make citi- zenship contingent upon place of birth instead of upon breed. There was & general enfranchisement, and the old families found themselves swamped. Their girls married bru- nettes. In the next generation there were few Athenians. UNIQUE HONOR FOR SOLDIER. Sergt. Catarius Carried the Ameri- can Flag in Six Countries. From the Army and Navy Journal. In announcing the retirement of First Sergt. George A. Catarius, Sth Infantry, at Fort Screven, Ga, May 26, 1923, Lieut. Col. Hall, the regi- mental commander, calls attention in G. O. 88 to the long and faithful serv- fce of this soldier; to the notation “Character Excellent” on his dis- charge certificates covering service since 1899; to an unbroken record of almost sixteen years as a N. C. O, and to the fact that it has never been necessary to bring him to trial by court-martial. “His military career,” says Col. Hall, “is worthy of emula- tion. Sergt. Catarius has the distinc- tion of having, as _color sergeant, carried the colors in England, France, Belgium, Germany and the Philippine Islands, as well as in the four cor- ners of the United States. This is an unusual honor and one which no other soldier of our Army has achieved. Sergt. Catarius leaves be- hind a record of duty well performed and carries with him the sincere wish of each member of the regiment that his future may be both pleasant and profitable. USE OF A “DOUBLE.” Noted Persons Have Found Him Handy on Occasions. From the New York Sun and Globe. Eminent personages of rank, vary- ing from kings to poets, have found it convenient to maintain doubles in the shape of men closely resembling the originals in form and feature, dressed and made up to meet such occasional requirements as perform- ing vicariously the ceremonies of bowing from a balcony or driving through city streets with a fair chance of being shot at. The profession of the double is naturally limited, but it has its com- pensations. The double often be- comes so facinated with his artistic calling that he reincarnates himself, in his own mind, as the great person- age whom he represents. This is a kinr of autointoxication of the spirit which carries its own risks. Take the case of the man in Parls who used to double for Edmond Rostand; since the death of the poet his own life has shrunken so_tragically that the disappearance of his great exem- plar has finally led him to suicide. Bird’s Ingenious Nest. From the Wide World Magazine. The tailor bird, an East Indian warbler, is pecullar mainly in his nest-making. Tho actual structure of his ingenlous cradle has never been scientifically observed, it is said, although tailor birds are com- mon. He either sews a dead leaf to @ 1iving one, or joins two nelghbor- ing leaves together so as to form a kind of hanging pouch, which re- mains attached to the branch by the leaf-stalk of one or_ both leaves. The threads which the tallor bird uses consist generally of twisted vegetable fibers or of actual cotton threads, the bill serving for a needle in puncturing holes in the leaves and in drawing the threads through. Occasionally, if a large enough leaf be found, the nest may be formed by joining together the free edges of the leaf. . ‘The lower part of the pouch con- taing the nest, which is a cup of soft materials, and is entered from above. Musical Note. From the Congregationalist. A very deaf old woman walking along the street saw an Italian turn- ing a peanut roaster. She stood Jooking at it a while, shook her head, and said: “No, I shan’t give you any money for such music as that. T can’t her any of the tunes, and be- sides It smells as if there were some- thing burning inside.” $ NEW YORK CURB MARKET Recelved by Private Wire BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN. NEW YORK, July 7.—The signifi- cant thing about the curb market of the past week has been its ability to absorb the heavy offerings which have been thrown upon it. It was a matter of considerable mnote that stocks for the most part should have closed today above the final of & week ago. It bore out the bellef that the short Interest, now belleved to be un- commonly large, was becoming more and more uneasy when it found that efforts to bring about further liquida- tion were meeting with no success.

Ex-Secretary Redfield Recalls In- formal Episode of War Times. William C. Redfield in the Outlook. So far as his heavy cares permit- ted, President Wilson showed keen interest in the progress and develop- ment of department work of every kind. During the war an inventor pro- duced an all-metal airplane, of which he expected great things. It was gent to the bureau of standards for examination. The President was asked to see it and gladly consented, but the only time available was on a Sunday. Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, went out to the bureau of standard: only to find that the custodian had misunderstood his orders and we were locked out. A hasty search found an _unfastened window, and thie served =2s a sufficlent entrance for the President and his wife. T have always enjoyed the recol- lection of the President of the United States and the first lady of the land climbing in through a half-opened window rather than fall to carry out the purpose of their visit. WILD A]?IMALS ALWAYS WILD Jungle Instinet Returns With Darkness Says Zoo Superintendent. From the Sclentific American. Wild animals in captivity live at night an imaginative life entirely dif- ferent from their dull hours when the curious file by in front of their cages, according to R. T. Pocock, superintendent of the Zoological Gar- dens of London, who is about to re- tire after many years of service. At night, he says, the inborn habits of the jungle show themselves in strik- ing fashion, and the beasts throw off the sleepy veneer of indifference they seem to adopt when humans stand in front of their inclosures and speculate upon what might happen were the animals suddenly given their liberty. - “If you go into_the lion's house during the day,” Mr. Pocock says, “you are nearly always impressed by the peaceful way in which the animals regard you. But visit them in the darkness and Instantly you are aware of the change. As if by magic their instincts to hunt and to kil have returned. Nothing {s tore weird than to walk past the cage of a lion or a tiger and then turn around. To your astonishment you see that the animal has been stalking you just as if he were still living in natural surroundings. The instant you turn your head he drops flat on the floor of the cage.” Mr. Pocock believes wild animals never make good pets and that man has domesticated every animal worth while, A Real Gentleman.

The basic trouble with the much criticized “younger generation” is, I fancy,” that It is so ignorant. Its {ignorance is a by-product of this | mental laziness which we have al- |lowed to invade the national soul We are always looking for the cheap and easy way; and if Coue or some one else tells us that by taking thought we can add a cubit to our stature we are only too ready to believe. If the “younger generation” has cast away all standards it is be- cause the preservation or the cre- ation of standards is hard work. We do not, I fancy, write free verse, | originaily, because we believe in free verse; we write it because it is easier than metrical forms. Then, because we are determined to be not only clever but good, not only good but clever, we invent poetic theories to fit_our production The younger generation finds it easier t0 ignore everything produces before 1900 than to learn something about art and letters as they wers developed before that shining date;, therefore, it says that no art worth the name existed before the twen- tieth centur: The ignorance would not so much matter if it called itself ignorance; when It masquerades as knowledge it becomes a menace. Laziness itself does not matter so much until vanity insists on giving it fine names. But the ‘“younger generation” would never have been able to hypnotize the public if the public had not forgot- ten how to think for itself. The public, In matters artistic or intellectual, has developed the pa- thetic habit of having to be “told” by some one else. We have lost the habit of dealing with intellectual facts because we have lost the habit .of mental effort. Teeing Up Their Ball. From the Village Deacon, in Topeka Capital. Some fellows are always and eter- nally teeing up their ball a little when the other fellow isn't looking. Know what that means, don’t you? It means that they are not playing the game square. No square fellow ever tees up his ball unless he allows his opponent to do the same thing. There is the fellow who forgets a stroke or two when he plays golf and the lad who counts elght when he has made but six in billiards. You find them all along the line—in business, in_church, in the lodge and in politics. They are not getting away with anything. Every time they tes up their ball when their opponent is mot looking that strip of yellow down their back gets a little wider and a little more prominent. In a short time it becomes & flaming sign known to every man, woman and child on the townsite. ‘Why, do you know there are fellows right here in town who cheat when they play solitaire. That's what a oontinued teeing up of the ball leads to. The other fellows refuse to play with them and they are forced to the lonesome game of solitaire for amuse- ment. There is nothin ing up the ball. Look around at some of the shining examples. Al- ‘ways count all your strokes. " No Invitation Needed. From the Detrolt Free Press.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 7.—Prices of se- ourities received another sharp set- back in the early part of this week’ stock market, but a recovery sét in after the holiday and the general trend continued upward, despite In- termittént short selling of the pop- ular shares. A large amount of the short selling this week was reported to be for the account of small traders, ‘who had become discouraged by the failure of the market to advance in response to a number of favorable news developments in the last two months. Several cuts in commodity prices, particularly lead, copper, rubber and Bulf coast crude oil, contributed somewhat to the pessimistic senti- ment. Decision of the Standard Oll Company of California to restrict purchases of crude ofl to the amounts specified in contracts with producing companies, after previously having accepted surplus stocks, had a sober- ing effect on the prices of oll shares. Railroad stocks made a belated re- sponse to the excellent current earn- ings and carloadings. The recovery was handicapped somewhat, however, by the weakness of New Haven which was founded on the report of the joint New England railroad commis- sion, setting forth that a reorganiza- tion scheme, involving an assessment on the common stock, was necessary to_save that road from receivership. The turn of the half year found the steel industry operating at nearly the year’'s peak production. Large manufacturers report a shortage of common labor. Additional wage in- creases in some of the smaller mills were announced during the week, but this fur there has been no indication of another increass by the United States Steel Corporation and other big producers, but one would not be unexpectéd as harvest time draws near. WOMAN'S TEARS. ‘Whole Moral Gamut Stretches Be- tween Extremes of Weeping. W. E. M., in the London Mail. They say that women are ceasing to weep. I hope it is not true. There are worse thin, than tears. Niobe may be a depressing housemate, but an eternally dry-eved goddess would be_wholly inturiating. When distilled from pure passion tears, instead of disgracing, honor us. No one {8 wholly exempt from weep- ing. In every age tears have been a humanizing power. They have melted frozen pride; they have nour- ished the flowers of pity and charity; by their fruits of gentléness and sym- pathy they have made amends for the hurts from which they sprang. The whole moral gamut of a woman stretches between the ex- tremes of her weeping—from the cold, deadly tears of hate to the warm, healing tears of love. As long as she lives, through every epoch of her strange pilgrimage, woman weeps. At the various stages how differ- ent is her weeping! It is in the twl. light portions of life, childhood and old age that tears fall most copi- ously _As she advances in years, weeping naturally becomes less g tle. 'hy tears are salter than a young man’'s and venomous to the says Coriolanus to his anclent be best classified by con- sidering the sources from which they flow and the emotions accompanying them. Least lovely of all tears are those which fall from pitiless eyes. The crocodile is thelr symbol. When women stop weeping, may these be first to go. Joy is a source of tears. “Pearls of the first water” happy tears have been called. The unexpected return of a wanderer, the success of a loved one—these and kindred pleasures call them forth. Tears of an utterly opposite char- acter rise In the blistered wastes of life. Women know these, too. Dark- est of all are the tears of remorse, yet they fulfill an office of regenera- tion and reconciliation. Tears may be wrung from physical pain. When the body is stretched on the rack tears are shed uncon- sciously. Sent{ment is—or was—an unfailing fount of tears. The story of un- wonted deeds of heroism, of sacrifice, of forgiveness, any thought of over- powering sublimity, once moved women to tears. Women used to weep over memories of past hours, over the perception of lovely things. Have they ceaserd to do so? I doubt it. And the tears of bitter grief, born of disappointment, separation, loneli- ness, heartbreak—have women ceas- ed to shed these? Lives there the woman of whom it may not be sald, as it was sald of the sister of Lazarus, “She goeth forth to the grave to weep there”? Printer for 72 Years. From the Topeka Capltal. printer for seventy-two years was_the span of business experience M. V. Cagney concluded the other day. when he sold out his little job printing shop in Emporia Kan., and retired. Failing evesight forced him to give up what is believed to be one of the longest printing careers ever reported. An apprentice at twelve, a foreman at eighteen, a soldier at twenty-two and an active printer at eighty-four is the history of the aged printer who has owned a shop in Emporia nearly forty years. Mr. Cagney first began “sticking” type when a boy of twelve vears in a job printing shop at Keokuk, Iowa. He served an apprenticeship of five years, then rose to foreman of the shop. From Iowa he drifted into Mis- sour!, served In the Missourl guards during the war, then migrated to Kansas, just as the campaign which elected John P. St. John governor of the state. was under way. From Kansas the printer went east, work- ing from shop to shop, but in 1886 he came back to Kansas and located at Emporia. Hailstone 15 Inches Around. From the Topeka Capital. Christ Wolff, a farmer near Ever- says he picked up a hail- measured fifteen inches F. A. Felland reports that a hallstone struck a hog at his farm on the head, killing it instantly. The hog weighed 200 pounds. J. C. Johnson also reports the death of a large hog that was killed by a hailstone. The new Lutheran church, under construction north of Everest, was badly damaged. All of the leaded windows were broken. The roof on a:a.o. M. Thorson's house was rid- The stones were so large and came down with such force they almost buried themselves in bluegrass sod. James Smith of Everest was hit on the arm by a stone. No bones were broken, although Smith's injury was ainful he has not been able to his arm since being hit. ‘What He Sought.
