ocal WHEAT IS UNSETTLED ON NERVOUS MARKET CHICAGO, Feb. 29. The wheat market was very unsettled at the start today. The prices -were 114c to l-c higher. The market was nervous and trading was being done over a wide range. There was a difference of more than lc in the trading in different parts of the pit. On good buying, prices moved upward later. Corn prices were c higher to c lower at the start. There was broad trade. The strength in wheat was followed hy a rally in corn. Oats were c low'!r at the start on general selling, but offerings were readily absorbed and prices rallied. Provisions were steady. There was a bull market in the pit 'today when advances were shown of n'ic to 3c, and while there were reunions of c to c from the highest levels, the undercurrent was one of great strength. Takings were much umaller and those wanting wheat were obliged to bid up for it. Nearly all the big houses were on the buying side totlay. The selling was scattered. Corn closed with advances of lc to 2c, and oats were up lc to lc. Hog products were better. GRAIN CHICAGO CASH CHICAGO. Feb. 29. Wheat: No. 2 Ted $1.10(3)1.12, No. 2 hard winter, $1.101.1l',&.

WATSON SAYS HE CAN'T TAKE WAYNE- COUNTY

After a day and a half pilgrimage through Wayne county, James E. Watson said this afternoon that he saw no reason for changing his classification of Wayne, which he entered in this notebook at the beginning of the campaign as one of the "Counties I Cannot Carry." "I am confident, however, that I am going to get a much larger vote in Wayne than I had at first anticipated," Watson added. "New won't beat me very bad in Wayne. Everything points to the fact I will get a mighty j fine vote in the rural districts of this (county. What my vote in Richmond will be I can not predict." I In checking up his list of counties ! today Watson discovered that he had entered seventy-three of the ninetytwo counties of the state in the list of those he was sure to carry. "I have listed eleven counties as doubtful, and have conceded nine to New," Watson added. "As to the congressional districts, I will carry eleven out of the thirteen. I very probably will lose the Fourth and Seventh districts, the latter being Indianapolis. New won't carry that city big, because Arthur Robinson is going to poll a nice vote there. My greatest strength is in the Tenth district. My next best district is the Second, then the Ninth, then the Sixth, my home district. I will carry every county in the Sixth except Wayne." Watson this morning visited Webster, Fountain City and Whitewater, speaking to small crowds in each town. He spent this afternoon calling upon friends in various parts of the city. Tonight he concludes his Wayne comv. ty campaign with a speech at the K. of P. hall on South Eighth street. He will devote much of his time to a discussion of national defense. In his speeches this morning Watson made an appeal to former Progressives for their support. FOUR PLEAD GUILTY IN CONNECTION WITH SKILLEN TIGER CASE It required just fifteen minutes for the jury which heard the case of Charles Skillens, charged with having operated a blind tiger at the Marshalette hotel, to return a verdict of guilty. No appeal was taken and Skillens was committed to jail. The jury which had been hearing the case for two days in city court, retired at 8:30 last evening and at 8:45 o'clock arrived at a verdict. One ballot was taken. Following this action by the jury, two other colored men charged with having been associated with Skillens in the operation of the blind tiger, entered pleas of guilty, and Special Judge Joshua Allen fined each of them $50 and costs with a thirty days' jail sentence. A fourth associate of Skillens, Harry Parker, was arraigned before Mayor Robbins on a similar charge today and he first entered a plea of not guilty. Later he changed his plea and drew $50 and costs and thirty days. Over $50 worth of booze seized at the Skillens blind tiger will be confiscated. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

She is taking a leading role in "The Little Rebel.", Ethelmary Oakland, grand-daughter of Mrs. Mary Oakland of this city, is widely known as a child actress in the. movies. A film in which she was featured was recently exhibited In Richmond, where many hundred persons were added to the child actress host of admirers. Mrs. Oakland said today she had received word from the child's mother that basket after basket of beautiful flowers were thrown upon the stage at Mount Vernon during the performance.

Borax is a sort of driver for soap. Borax takes soap by the scuff of the neck and says: "Come on here, and get busy." You will never know the value of soap until you see it working in connection with borax. But soap is pretty stubborn and it only works right when there is one part borax and three parts soap. It is impossible to get this quantity of borax into bar soap. It is only possible in borax soap chips. . When you use "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips" this week for the family wash and various other cleaning about the house, you may be a little vexed to think of ever having tried to get along without it!
