VOLUME II NO. 49 ■ Trade Beard Big Factor in Chicago’s Progress | rii!' Jobs of 30,000 men and women directly dependent on (lie exi*t* H rlh r of ilie Chicago Board of Trade; 1 1110,01(0 are employed Indirectly be ■ ( :ii]si> of the “world’s largest” com jH modify exchange. These figures Indl- H r aie tlie Important part ihe hoard I lias taken in building Chicago into ■ die fifth city of the-world and the ■ jinam ial and marketing center of the ■ Middle West. I Early in IS-1S a small group of in fluential leaders, engaged in pulling Chicago out of the mud that was old I ml Dearborn, organized the hoard of trade. Memberships in those days could be bought for a comparatively few dollars. Today the total value (if memberships, at a conservative es timate, is $50,000,000. In the old days, toiling wagonloads of wheat and corn arrived from across the prairies in Chicago and were promptly sold at. the exchange. Long before the end of the board's eiglity tirst year, Chicago was the railroad center of the world and farm prod ucts moved to market in modern style. It is estimated that one-seventh of all the revenue of midwestern railroads ow is derived from the transport of farm-crops to market. A great part of their shipwmts go to Chicago for sale on the exchange: Thinks He Has Special Reason for Complaint Tlie driver of a small car narued i, ( a (vvoouW uvrtvntown section, stopped short and stared at the appar ent nakedness of the machine, 'ihe spare tire was missing. _ .'V’iLb O nonchalant UlifP tored something-.. soiit'’“TTTfeves will he thieves” and began to clitnh into the machine. But he stopped short again and stooped to pick up a wrench from the running hoard: His face grew crimson, and (he tilings lie said were terms' not generally employed by fre quenters of social teas. “What’s the trouble?” asked the Stroller. “A lot!” he snapped. “I don’t mind .these, crooks stealing my lire, hut when they open my car and take lay tools to do it with, (oat’s too much!” —Philadelphia Public Ledger. ' Protect Guano Birds Shipmasters carelessly blowing Iholr foghorns, disturbing the guano birds nesting on the islands off the coast of Peru, are punished with a fine; and if it is-‘discovered that their vessels ap proached within two miles of the is lands, their boats are confiscated! This new law was passed by tin Peruvian government in a drastic cam paign to proiect the birds, which, ns described in Popular Science Monthly, produce large quantities of guano, an excellent fertilizer. While guano is found in various places, (lie most val uable -variety—containing from 13 to 14 per cent nitrogen and a like propor tion of phospnoric acid—is exported from the Chinriia and other islands near the Peruvian coast. These is lands produce 51,000,000 worth of the fertilizer a year.

A vehicle which solves the problem of transporting troops in a bullet-swept area is ■ being produced by Vickers- Armstrong, says London Tit-Bits. It is it small track vehicle, like a small tank, and Is surprisingly mobile. It can turn around almost in its own length, ford a slreant, provided the latter is not too deep, pass through barbed wire entanglements, and climb a hunk up to 45 degrees slope. It is known as the Carden Lloyd, and should put an end to the use of horses in warfare, ft holds two men and can draw a trailer designed to carry four men in comfort. It can dodge obstacles, run to cover, or fol low a zigzag course to escape lire, with the greatest ease. It is .pule fast and is equipped with a special ma chine gun, and, as it stands only half as high as a horse, its movements cannot easily he detected even in very open country.

Marriage is a means of grace when it loads to repentance. Yellow streak in a man is never mistaken, for a heart of gold. There are men who don’t want “pais,” either men or women. Lais of men are pleasant lo talk to, hat C '.agreeable to listen to. Noth!'": ro* effectually cures a man of the tlattery habit as marriage. When a man loses faith in human ity he hits himself a soiar-plexufj Mow. Praise publicly wherever it is de served. There is 'plenty of occasion for it. People who like f<; make a self rror'ii--e ere likely to want to sacri fice yea. too. Your friends are not perfect, of ccun.-e. If they were, they might not like you. - It takes infinite patience to rear >t child; and there seems to he an abundance of it.

LINES OF WISDOM Silence is the father of truth. Industry attracts good tilings. No one is great, without faith. It's the early edition that catches the bookworm. Facts must he feminine—at least they are stubborn tilings. A man may he self-possessed and still have no taxes to pay. Never agree with a woman when she is abusing her husband. Few men cut their wisdom teeth until after they arc married. Courtship is a beau-knot that mar riage pulls into a hard knot. Adversity sometimes brings out a man’s good pointsM>y tlie roots. Girls should always sing soprano instead of alto because it is-higher toned. 4 If abuse makes a man whim? Rf stead of rage, there’s something wrong. It’s a wise man who doesn’t send his wife to the door when fortune knocks. Some people are not on speaking terms with their own conscience half the time. You cannot tench a man anything; you only help him to find it within himself.—Galileo. It is no pleasure for a man to do as he pleases until after he gets mar ried —then lie can’t. Meeting clever people sometimes proves this: That they care nothing for any cleverness but their own. Native African Belief Aids Spread of Pests Rhodesia is suffering badly from the depredations of lions and leopards. It would he the simplest matter In the world to eliminate these pests as in most parts of South Africa, hilt the natives, although halted by the offers of gems and other rewards, simply will not help the white farmers in this matter. The whole truth is that the natives believe that 1 he-spiritf? of their departed el iofs are reincarnated in the lions and leopards that infest the country. Asa result of this superstition no native dare kill a lion for fear of bringing the anger of the spirits upon him and his family. The native is rather between the devil and the deep sea, because !' e “spirits" have a nasty habit of 4 - nfrying off memners of his family when hungry. -Washington Star.

When tiie half dozen otlicers of a modern submarine, Had in their black leather waterproof suits, come aboard, a sailor stands on the tin.', gangway to receive them, and to each he hands his waste, rolled In a neat hall. The reason is that the steel doors and ‘the steel walls of a submarine sweat oil eternally. The steel seats sweat oil. The "submarine officer, be fore opening- a door or before pitting down, wipes the oil from the knob or from the scat with an unconscious gesture like that of pulling up the trousers to keep them from hugging. Jovial young submarine lieutenants say that oven tin* dishes sweat oil on n submarine trip. They say that be fore tilling their plates with meat, they mechanically wipe the .oil from them with their balls of oily waste. — Springfield Union.

Midday concerts in city churches haves grown in popularity, and now not only do they take the form of organ recitals with an occasional vocal solo, but one may chance to hear a violin or cello, a string trio or quartette, or Cveti a gramophone recital. —London Daily Chronicle.
