■ Trade Beard Big Factor
in Chicago’s Progress

H rlh r of ilie Chicago Board of Trade;

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!”

' 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.

TANKS TO REPLACE •
HORSE IN WARFARE?
. 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.

raisins have fully this value as feed,
in former tents, it is said, the raisins
r.v°re of such poor quality that feeders
were merged, hut when a better

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.

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

011/ON EVERYTHING
IN UNDERSEA BOATS
Asa crown is the badge of kings,
as three halls is the badge of pawn
brokers, so the badge of a submarine
otilcor is a lmndful of cotton waste.
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. —
