INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1920.

GRAIN PRICES MAKE ADVANCES Rise Due to Passing of Emergency Tariff on Agricultural Products.

CHICAGO, Dee. 23.—Gtain prices advanced In trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today, due to passage by the House of the bill placing an emergency tariff on varioua agricultural products. There was a general rush to buy at tho opening of the market with very little grain for sale. After the first bulge, there were some declines. Provisions were higher. December wheat opened up l%c at $1.67%, and advanced 3c In later trading March wheat was up 5c at the opening at $1.66, but later dropped %c. May wheat opened up 3%c ar $1.60%, and remained at that figure In later trading. December corn opened up 3c at 71c cud later advanced %c. May corn was up %e at the opening at 73%c and later advanced I%c. duly corn opened up I%e nt 75%c and advanced %c subsequently. December oats opened up %e at 47%c, and gained % later. May cats opened up %(• at 49%c and gaiued an additional %c subsequently. July oats opened at 4S%c, up i%c, and gained an additional %e later.

(By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Dec. 22Wheat—The demand for wheat was so quiet that the financial matters came more prominently to the front with the result of easier prices. Some Inquiry was made for all rail shipment to the east, but resulted In nothing. Fifty thousand bushels sold to go to store to be applied on December deltverv. The deliveries today were liberal, 115.000 bushel. Country offerings, while moderate, more than kept pace with the demand. The fact that we have ample supplies f wheat and efforts are being made to influence the country to mnrket It makes the long sidn unattractive. Selling Is more likely to be the feature than auy Investment demand Corn—Larger receipts, shutting down of some of the product plants for over the holiday* with poor cash demand at from 1 to 2 cents lower price* made for easiness. The crowd was expecting support from the leading eievstor interest, which Is npparently arraigned on tho bull side, but It was not In evidence in sufficient volume to sustain value*, which suffered some. There were sales of 120,000 made to go to store and ou these deliveries this morning 115,(4)0 bushel were going around. There seem* to be so little merit on the long side of the grains that we *re advising sales of the deferred months on any rallies that show from now on. Oats Oats dragged along after corn, closing heavy. There Is some oat* being delivered and the demand 1* slack. This market probably will keep on followlug the corn trend. Provisions —This market was steadied some early by a higher price for hogs, but grains were too weak to have the *nfluence go far. l’rlce changes were uul nporiant.

Paul, Effe Grissom, Henry William R. Wilson. John Crlnshaw, Henry Fraxler, Spencer Clifton, Robert Alexander, George Yanthls, H. P. Parker, William Boyd, Daniel Lee. Harriet T.

Probably the most capable help on the Janitors force are the two colored women, who nre said to do satisfactory work that Is visible, and Effie Grlsson, who takes care of the county clerk’s office; the Janitor In Judge Jnmcs A. Collins’ courtroom, and the Janitor la charge of the Probate Court. There is no complaint of the services of John A. Fox, elevator operator. The majority of the janitor appointments are nothing more or less than a system of political favoritism. Y:vkn JUDGES ENTER PROTESTS. Several times this year the Judges at the Courthouse have protested loudly against, the Insanitary conditions of the courtrooms and a Jury In Superior Court, room 5, protested in writing to Judge T. J. Moll, against the “dirty” condition of the jury rooms. Since then the jury rooms have been redecorated and refurnished. The majority of the janitors are negro ward politicians and they regard their boss as" Benjamin S. Pierce, custodian. Pierce long has been In “high standing” with County Commissioner Shank, who aspire* be county recorder at the next county election. Tti* political janitor’s force is costing the taxpayer* thousand* of dollars a year and only minimum service 1* being obtained.

A year ago ns she scratched for worms In the barnyard of Carl Zehrfeld of New Rockford, Rhe was only one of the flock, with no marks of distinction or Individuality. Today reigns supreme over all fowl of the State, and her breakfast, luncheon and dinner are served at regular periods, served with an infinite taste that temp’s the appetite. * g Aronnd the idght ankle of the lafly Is a thin gold band emblematic of the fctate egg-laying championship with which Little Emma cackled home, after establishing iJ State record of 301 eggs In one year. The world’s record is 333. The contest, which has been in progress for a year at the North Dakota Agricultural College here, was for months an egg-an-egg race. Then in the last three weeks little Emma swung Into high and left her rivals struggling for second honors. With four other single comb whits leghorns, Little Emma also won the pen contest There were twelve pens of five birds each. Enoch J.—Peterson, director of the battle, used a trap nest record on each bird.

Only the richest there will be able to Duy the toys which formerly were within reach of nearly all. In France the Americans will flmC plenty to do, although the eases appear less desperate since relief organizations have done much in the last two years to supply the wants of the population.

The commission 1 said the change would be made without’ the filing of a formal petition aud a ; hearing thereon, Mr. Ashby said. Paul P. Haynes, member of the Public Service Commission, stated that an’ agreement has been reached wliercby.-v tlie order would be modified but tluft the question as to where the city limits lie,% remains to be settled between the city and the street car company. When the petition was filed before the i CQmralseion, Mr. Haynes stated. Forty ’’ Sixth street was made the division point. Since then, however. It has been that the order should be changed to read ■'corporate limits.” The traction company contends the city limits ar Fifty-First street and the city authorities are claiming the corporate limits | of the city are at Fifty-Fourth street. The difference apparently has resultedfrom the fact that College avenue, on which the car line runs, is Itself ths dty limits for several squares, forming i a jog in tha corporation line.
