GRAIN PRICES j CHICAGO, June 4. Local bulls sold it or long stuff early and expected fcood reaction, a fresh run of car shortage news and upturn In cash prices interfered. Grain belts reports on car supply are not reassuring, may take all June to enlarge receipts at Chicago seriously. Argentine has also approved export tax as follows: $40.00 per ton on wheat, and $50.00 per ton on flour, in force until Nov. 1st. Despite this news, export demand is flat.

KEEP OUT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, YALE DEMANDS (By Associated Press) NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 4. Sixty-six members of the faculty of Yale University today sent to congress a protest expressing opposition "to congressional resolutions or items in political platforms, touching upon the relations of Great Britain and Ireland." The signers expressed belief that this government should not interfere with "the domestic affairs of any other friendly nation." Begin Work in New Plant Production in the new factory building of the Starr Piano company was started Thursday. The building, made of steel and concrete, and six stories high, will be used in the manufacture of Starr pianos. Piano employes in the old building were granted a 10day vacation while the transfer of machinery and stock took place. These employes returned to work Thursday. ALLIGNMENTS (Continued from Page One) opponents for a contest of leadership between William Cooper Proctor and Mr. Hitchcock have gone a-glimmering. Mr. Proctor, they say, will continue in his present capacity with the Wood forces and the present agreement to have Mr. Hitchcock act as generalissimo of the forces on the convention floor, was unanimous and agreeable all around. The South Carolina contest over delegates to the Republican national convention furnished fireworks and vaudeville for today's meeting of the committee. The lie was passed freely and charges of "something rotten nearer than Denmark" were made by the delegates of the Adams section, counted for Wood, in the course of presenting their cases against Tolvert delegations, which accounted for Lowden. The name of National Committeeman Bean, of Florida, was brought into show that he worked throughout South Carolina as ati organizer for Frank H. Hitchcock, arranging contesting delegations favorable to General Wood. After five days of sporadic activity and jockeying, things are beginning to take on a real convention atmosphere. By the time the crowds of delegates began pouring in and with the coming of political leaders from Washington, things are expected to be going full blast. The first cheers and the first songs of the boosters are beginning to be heard in the hotel lobbies and on the streets. Pianos are tinkling in many of the campaign headquarters and the song-leaders and cheer leaders are on the job beginning to drill the choruses of willing workers that always gather to participate in the noisy demonstrations which accompany a convention. Publicity Plans Pushed. Publicity plans have had an impetus too, and beginning today Wood, Low den and Johnson will begin giving two daily interviews to newspapermen. Other candidates will join the plan as they arrive. Senator Poindexter, of Washington, arrives today from Washington, and on Saturday his special trains of boosters and delegates are due in from the west. From today on carloads of delegates will be arriving from Till parts of the country to go through the quadrennial preliminaries of caucaaing, electing their delegation officers, members of the various convention committees and choosing the state representatives on the Republican national committee. By comparison with previous conventions, all the scenery and props are on hand for this year's big show. There are miles of bunting flapping and fluttering in the late spring breezes of Lake Michigan; there are tons of badges and souvenirs by the hogsheads; there are bands by the score, all ready to begin blaring the campaign anthems; there are rooters and boosters preparing their voices for the uproar: there are enthusiasts ready to parade at a moment's notice and to cheer with the winners and mourn with the losers. At the present rate of progress, there is hope among the national committeemen that they may finish their work Saturday. 1IOINF Nlht ani Moralaff. Chan.

Miss Barker Speaks at Rally for Colored Women Because Dr. Amelia Keller, of Indianapolis, was unable to appear, Miss Eleanor Barker, well known Indianapolis woman, addressed the political meeting held in the Bethel A. M. E. Church, Thursday night under the dilection of the County Republican! woman s committee. Miss Anna Brown, who was recently appointed to head the negro women's section, presided and spoke briefly as did Mrs. Cox, who said the women of her race owe their political freedom to the Republican party. Miss Esther Griffin White, county woman's chairman was present to explain the need of the Republican county-wide poll, which is now in process. Miss Barker, who is an able speaker, urged that the colored woman rally to the cause. She said there are more women of voting age than men in Indiana. Over 800,000 Indiana women will be able to vote next November, she pointed out. "We can be a determining factor if wre get out to the polls," said she. Mrs. M. A.

EDGERTON WRITES LETTERS TO DOG TAX DELINQUENTS In a last attempt to wake dog owners up to the delinquency of their dog taxes. Township Trustee Edgerton mailed about 100 announcements of delinquency Friday. The letters said: "Your dog tax for 1920 is still unpaid, according to our reports.

Hedjaz King Rides On Missouri Mule King Hussien of the Hedjaz, with his white beard and his pure white robes that gave him the appearance of a prophet, is a kingly looking old patriarch, although he Is only five feet two inches In height. At 60 years of age he is a man of exceptional vigor, which Is remarkable In his corner of the world. His refined features and his hands, delicate and beautiful as those of a musician, Impress one with a feeling for his aristocratic , lineage. ! The descendant of the prophet Is ' an astute but obstinate old man, with I very strict and old-fashioned Ideas on ! proper behavior, both for himself and ; his subjects. He neither smokes nor I drinks; that Is, he has smoked only two cigarettes in his life once when Abbas Hilunl, the old khedive of Egypt, visited him, and the other 'time when he visited Commander ; Hogarth on board the cruiser Hardinge. He is extremely severe about I the drinking of intoxicants. I After a gloriously successful trainwrecking expedition, two of Lawrence's Arab officers, natives of -lSamascus, went up to Mera on a j week's leave, and took something stronger than water with them to celebrate. This breach of Moslem piety traveled to the king, who had the officers beaten in public. After that, no one selected Mecca as a pleasant place to spend a vacation. ! The Arabs are inordinately fond of talking machines, but King Hussien has prohibited them in Mecca, because he regards them as instruments of the devil. Although the Sultan of Turkey once tried to make him a present of a motor car, he could not be ! persuaded to give up his mule. Fre- ! quently he is seen galloping out of j Mecca in the evening and arriving at jeaaa Derore aawn, a rme or more than ninety miles. The king, a concoisseur of mules, owns the finest stable of them in the world. He has mules from South America. Australia, ,.byssinio and everywhere, but his favorite is the Missouri "hard tail". j Moon Is Ally of the Farmers J A contributor to the New York ! Tribune, living in the country, is : alarmed lest the scientists blow up 1 the moon. He very properly says that j the city man doesn't appreciate the I moon; in fact, lie seldom sees it. But

out in the country the moon serves a real purpose, and It ought to be protected from onslaughts from the rockets of the scientists. The contributor's letter Is so delightful, and as it contains as much wisdom as many other letters we read, we quote at length: "Nobtjdy knows what the moon Is made of. Maybe it's made out of some kind of mineral that will explode when this flash powder goes off on it. And let me tell you, Mr. Editor, that would not be a very funny thing for anybody to have the moon blow up. Folks in the city don't know anything about the moon, whether it is anything or whether It ain't, and they don't care. But we folks that live In the country use the moon a good deal. I courted my wife by moonlight, and my oldest boy is doing the same thing with his girl. I've planted my corn in the full of the moon for 40 years and never had a poor crop. Besides, we use the moon in lots of other ways. I can't hardly think what life would be here in the country without the moon." Aye, aye, sir, we are for you especially since you seem to know how to court. It has been a man-el to us for years how a city boy manages to fall in love with a girl when the light came from an electric bulb, instead of from the friendly moon.
