GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO, 111.. Dec. 12 An early bulge in wheat to new high figures for the May and July deliveries met heavy profit taking. The result was a fair reaction which extended sympathetically to other grains, but practically all the lost ground was made up in a sharp rally near the close. General news has not changed in any way and the situation, it anything, appears to be growing more bullish. The advices of a severe cold wave in the winter wheat belt, which is without snow covering, caused apprehension and brought good buying power in that delivery. Action looking toward agricultural credit legislation at Washington began today, and it is the general belief that the passage of such a measure will be expedited.

JAPANESE EXPORTS TO AMERICA BELOW IMPORTSEACH YEAR TOKIO, Dec. 12. Japan's exports to America, up to 1917, always exceeded imports therefrom, the excess in that! year being 118,829,000 yen. In 1918, the balance changed, America, taking goods valued at 95,836,000 yen in excess of exports to Japan. In 1919, there was a balance of 61,716,000 yen in favor of Japan but in 1920 the balance in favor of America jumped to 308,165,000 yen, according to figures collected by Japanese financial papers. In 1921 this balance dropped to 78.117,000 yen and for the first seven months of this year it was 19,584,000 yen. This moderation has been dus to the increased export of raw silk to America, but the general tendency shows a growth of imports from America, the papers point cut. Compared with pre-war years, the volume of Japan's exports have increased by three-fold whereas imports have increased five-fold. Japan's ex ports to America represent about 3o per cent of the total exriort and this percentage practically remains the same as in pre-war years but the percentage of imports from America has increased from 16 1c 20 in pre-war years to 30 to 35 in recent years. Formerly, raw cotton represented nearly half the amount import from America, but at present it does not exceed 36 per cent. Volume of raw cotton imported from America at presties general and permanent prosperity cent compared with pre-war years. , ARGENTINE FROWNS ON U.S. NAVAL MISSION (By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 12. The Argentine government has been unfavorably impressed by the dispatch to Brazil of a United States naval mission it was authoritatively learned today. Criticism made in official circles point out that the position of the United States is inconsistent in that while fostering conferences for the reduction of armaments among the South American republics, it is officially aiding ohe of them to strengthen its armed power. Critics also assert that the state and navy departments of the U. S. seem to be pursuing conflicting policies in reference to the question of disarmament. The mission has been promintently featured by the newspapers in their comments on Brazil's effort . to call a tripartite armament conference at Valparaiso. John Mayo, in 166S, demonstrated that the' gas which supports life is the tame as that which causes the fire to burn.

Illinois Voters Ballot On Plan to Draft New State Constitution (By United Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 12 Illinois voters went to the polls today wrapped in furs and mufflers to decide whether they should have a new state constitution or abide by t!ie old one. With the thermometer hovering around zero early morning voters were few and indications were that a light vote would be cast. Both camps claimed victory by majorities of 100,000 or more The anti's claimed Cooke county would vote against the proposed draft by a majority of at least 150,000 which would effect the out-state vote in favor of the measure. Interest in the ballot was genera! in all parts of the state and probably a tremendous vote would. have been cast if the cold wave had not enveloped the state. The question of taxes was the paramount issue. The new constitution provides a state income tax. Bible reading in the public schools was also the subject of bitter opposition. The antis launched an eleventh hour drive to close the 'ampaign in Chicago. Scores of speakers addressed crowds last night and hand bills wero distributed by thousands. Bitter factional feeling was started when those in favor of the new draft claimed that Chicago policemen were actively engaged in an effort to de feat it.

Mrs. Clara Phillips, the "Tiger"Woman," might have shown a little respect for the feelings of Los Angeles authorities before she took French leave tf the more or less comfortable quarters thev had provided for her pending her removal to the penitentiary. She might at least have left a farewell note with her destination to calm the ruffled dignity of her former hosts. But she didn't. And aa a result Clara vanished and a country-wide search has failed to find a trace of her. Her escape from jail is said to be the first ever accomplished in the nation's history in such a daring manner by a woman charged with a serious, crime. That she risked death to gain her -freedom is shown clearly by the photos.

GRADING OF COTTON UNDER GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION URGED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Grading and stapling of cotton under govern ment supervision is recommended by William M. Stauart, director of the bu reau of the census in his annual report made public today. "There is considerable demand for statistical information as to the quantities of the several grades of cotton held in stock in the United States," says Mr. steuart. UDviousiy unaer present conditions, it is impossible to secure , reliable information of this character, since much of the cotton is not accurately gTaded until it reaches the more important cotton markets of concentration points. Since practically all the cotton pro duced in the United States enters into interstate or foreign commerce, it is within the power of congress to enact legislation requiring such cotton to be graded and stapled under government al regulations" at' central grading sta tions. Th government could provide the necessary personnel and facilities, but the cost of grading which probably would not amount to more than 30 or 40 cents a bale, should be paid by the owner of the cotton. Benefit of System. "With uniform grading thus provid ed for throughout the cotton-growing region it would be possible to obtain from the grading stations the numbers of bales of the several classes graded, and from consumers and exporters the number of bales of the several grades consumed and exported." Director Steuart recommends repeal of a provision in an act of 1916, which required quarterly reports by the census bureau on the amount of cotton used in the manufacture of explosives since information is no longer of value. When the law was passed use of cotton in explosives was so great tbat it had an effect on the price and it was important to know the quantities thus consumed.

0 ( DIDKT KNOW IT.' CORN GROWERS PUSH FARMERS' INSTITUTE BY HOLDING SESSIONS Corn growers meetings and judging demonstrations, conducted for the purpose of stimulating interest in the farmers' institute corn shows and the county corn show, and to insure that prospective exhibitors have information enabling them to pick out samples which will have the best chance -of winning, have been held in four Wayne county communities in the past two days.

The most recent meeting was that held in the Boston school building Tuesday afternoon, at which Leonard Duke a high school boy, was the chairman. Another meeting was held at the , J Webster school building Tuesday morning, which was arranged by Ed Weadick, a corn club boy, and student in the school. Eight agricultural students besides the members of the Webster boys corn club attended the dem

onstration, and were so inferested in the instruction that a return visit was arranged for the county agent for next Tuesday noon. Meetings were held in Milton and Fountain City Monday. - About a dozen farmers visited the Milton meeting, ar ranged for Monday morning at his farm, by Albert Ferris; and the same number were present at the Fountain City Granee hall, which had been se- " cured by William Dorgan. Helms Visits Meetings Accompanied by C'-mnty Agent J. L. Dolan, who had arranged the meetings in co-operation with farm bureau committees, J. S. Helms, who is donating his time to the spread of information for the betterment of Wayne county corn, has visited all the meeting?. After talks by Mr. Dolan on the, fundamental reasons for picking out corn with certain required characteristics, Mr. Helms has dri'led those present in rcognizing and selecting corn which has those characteristics. Samples of corn brought by the farmers have been Johnson county White or Reid's Yellow Dent, Mr. Dolan reports, these varieties having proven best adapted to Wayne county conditions. Much interest is shown in ths corn shows this year, in view of the heavy premiums that will be offered.
