Corn traders believe that there will be little In it for the jbulls in May corn the bal ance of the month. The trade has been largely evened up as Indicated by the bulge Monday and the break of yester day. “It would not be surprising to see fireworks in May oats in the two and a half trading days remaining of the month, including to-day.

Why Do Folks Pull Flowers in Parks? "It sure gets my nanny," said *he park policeman, "why some folks will come out here and pull flowers. The park commission spends a lot of money getting plants and a lot more to keep them in good condition and then along comes somebody and crabs the Viiole act by tearing off a bunch of the flowers. ’ Last Sunday a young fellow came out here and nothing would do but he mubt have a magnolia. He thought they were pretty. So they were; but that gave him no license to pull a blossom. But he did just the same. I happened to see him after he had secured the flower and I called him. “ Here,’ said I. ‘is a copy of charges. Suppose you straighten out this little affair with the Recorder.' " 'Why, I didn’t know there was any harm in taking these flowers,’ said he. " ‘Well, what do you suppose we got ’em out here for?’ I told him. ‘These flowers belong to the city and they are put here to be looked at, that’s all. If you want to give your best girl a bouquet why don’t you go to the florist’s? That’s what they are In business for.’ " ’I don’t see any sign out here saying not to pull flowers,’ says he, nettled I guess about that best girl remark of mine. " ’Sure, you don’t. I says. ‘An’ what’s more, you don’t see no sign tellin’ you to fall in the lake or com mit suicide, yet I haven’t seen you tryin’ to do either.’ “He didn’t have any answer for that one and 1 guess he was some wiser when he went home. And next day he paid his little fine like a man. Bet HE don’t pull any more magnolias in Grant Park." Motion Picture Show Takes Place of Nurse. Out in West End women with small children have soIVed a problem. They have learned how to get along with out nurses. Of course those with ba bies are not so fortunate; but the ones whose youngsters can run about are reaping the reward of Ingeniousness. Now when a mother wants to- go to the matinee ; or shopping in town she doesn’t have to call in mother-in-law or a neighbor to look after the chil dren until she gets back. The plan is much more simple and gives gen eral satisfaction. She takes them to a motion picture show. It should be known, of course, that West End boasts a full-fledged “movie" ahow. The children go in droves every day and the proprie tor must be an all-fired generous soul because the kiddies just stay and stay and stay. He never asks them to go out. And that is the real secret of the scheme taken advantage of by the mothers. Mrs. West End decides that she wants to go shopping. She washes and dresses Bobbie and Harry and Gertrude and escorts them to the pic ture show. She pays 15 cents and the three young ones hike in to see the show. And there they stay. Mrs. West End goes to town, travels from one store tc another until exhausted and returns homeward. She stops at the picture show and there is Bobbie and Harry and Gertrude still gazing in speechless ecstasy at the pictures on the screen. What matters it if they have seen the same films half a dozen times that afternoon? They get Just as much fun out of it as if they ob served them for the first time. Mrs. West End calls her darlings and they all return home. Mamma is satisfied, the yungsters are decidedly so and Mr. picture Man evidently is, because next time he is just as smiling as ever.
