GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO. Ills., Dec 26. Despite heavy arrivals of grain in all markets, values ' generally recovered good support and toward the last rallied sharply when corn turned strong under the influence of buying credits to eastern accounts. December wheat, however, was not so strong as the deferred months and closed within a fraction of the May as compared with a substantial premium short time ago. Large clearance a smaller increase in the visible supply than expected, and the belief that expert business was being worked quietly were also factors that serve to stimulate the late buying. World's shipments were somewhat below the average, while supplies afloat decreased around six million bushels. The action of market is evidence of its underlying strength and we expect to see prices work considerably higher. Setbacks will occur but advantage should be taken of them to make purchases.

Pictures show" ig how liquors have been smuggled into the United States have never been taken since rum running started 'way back in 1919. This one, secured at a great risk, was made just outside the three mile limit off the Long Island coast by one of the men engaged in the illicit transportation of booze. The seaplane has its berth in one of the inlets along the coast, flies out beyond the limit off the Long Island coast, takes on the booze and comes back under the cover of darkness. The meeting is arranged by wireless. Picture at right shows a ''ory, loaded to capacity with booze and Bahaman natives, about to leave side of rum runner for seaplane. Above, natives v transferring liquor from dory to seaplane to be taken asho- where members of the ring, waiting in high powered automobiles, distribute their eoods to clientele. CHEAT, WHEAT SEED OFTEN GROW MIXED; CAN BE SEPARATED Did you ever plant wheat and get a crop of cheat? Did you ever cut wheat or oats and see a patch of cheat come up where the grain was cut? Looked as though the wheat or oats turned to cheat, didn't it? But it didn't. Wheat has as much chance of turning into cheat as a cat has of turning into a lion, because the relationship is just about as close. Wherever you find a cheat plant you can be absolutely sure that it came from cheat seed and from nothing else, although the manner in which cheat springs up where wheat should grow certainly looks mysterious. But if the cheat grows from cheat seed, where did the cheat seed come from? Perhaps it was sown as an impurity in the seed wheat or it might have been lying in the soil, the product of cheat plants that matured seeds several years ago. Cheat seeds have the ability to lie dormant, in the ground for several years, waiting for the first good opportunity to grow, and that opportunity is furnished whenever conditions are unfavorable for the wheat, as winter killing or injury from the Hessian fly. Ordinarily, cheat does not attempt to compete with wheat, since cheat is not- as strong a grower. But as soon as the wheat weakens, the. cheat springs up very quickly and the effect is very deceiving and might easily lead to the conclusion that the wheat has turned to cheat. Can Learn Truth If anyone doubts that cheat comes cheat seeds onlj let him plant some wheat in a box containing soil that he can turn the wheat into cheat, then he will have accomplished a miracle that is unknown to science. In weak stands of grain patches of cheat are sometimes harvested with the wheat from which cheat seeds are separated with difficulty. When the cheat gets into the flour it causes a dark color and imparts a disagreeable flavor. It will be a surprise to many Indiana farmers to learn that cheat is a good hay plant and is cultivated for this purpose in Oregon and Georgia. The crop is planted in the fall and cut green. I know of at least one farm in Indiana where cheat is purposely grown for hay, but my personal opin ion is that any small grain would do just as well and would not foul the land with seeds that might cause future trouble. It is a mistake to allow cheat seeds to mature on the farm. A crop cult! vated, well tilled, combined with the use of pure seed, will usually drive out cheat. ! Cheat may be removed from seed wheat by pouring the in tested wheat into a barrel of water. The heavy wheat grains sink and the light cheat seed can be skimmed ol? the surface. A good time to do thisj is when the seed wheat is immersed in a formaldehyde solution for the control of stinking smut. But the smutted wheat and grains and the cheat seeds can be skimmed off together. Shakespeare was the first man to use the word "hurry", and he alco coined the word "dwindle."

Santa Clause returned to his home in the cold nort hland without experiencing zero weather in any part of the country. ' The highest reading was recorded at Forth Worth and San Antonio, Texas, and New Orleans, La., where the thermometer registered 78.
