WHEAT CORNER BROKEN
Alleged That Patten Has Dis
posed of All His Holdings.
MANY FORTUNES WERE LOST
When Erstwhile “Wheat King” Left for
New Mexico the Market Declined
Nine Cents.
Chicago, 111—That James A. Pat.
ten, hailed throughout the country as
the “wheat king,’’ nas withdrawn
from the market after disposing of
his heavy holdings of May and July
wheat is asserted in many quarters
here.
To this assertion was added the
fact that prices have tumbled over 9
cents during the last week and that
Mr. Patten himself has sought rest in
the fastnesses of a New Mexico
ranch.
Whether he has eliminated himself
from the so-called ‘deal,’’ and, if so,
whether he came out with profit or
losj, are questions which can be an
swered only by Mr. Patten himself.
From nearly every point came re
ports of normal, and even better,
crop prospects. Liverpool prices
were down and the shipments from
Argentina, Australia ana other for
eign countries were said to be great
er than usual at this time of the year.
While Mr. Patten, quoted as saying
he was fleeing from reporters, was
making for the ranch of his friend
and partner, W. H. Bartlett, just over
the Colorado line in New Mexico, de
jection was pictured on the face of
many a smalt speculator haunting the
ticker in various brokerage houses.
Many a fortune has been wiped out
by the decline and many a man who
had a handsome profit on paper, but
still hung on for more, now con
fronts a deficit. There are many sucn.
The wide publicity given the mar
ket brought into it many a man wno
ordinarily walked in quieter paths.
Even the “regulars,” tor the most
part, followed the hull leader with un
usual enthusiasm, and saw nothing
further in the previous declines but
flurry. Mr. Patten so characterized
it and his word was accepted. They
held to the limit of their resources,
and were wiped ott the speculative
slate when their margins became ex
hausted and there was no longer a it.
serve to draw on.
They would have liked very mucn
to know whether Mr. Patten had let
orders secretly to make further pur.
chases at the concession in prices. In
the absence of such information, how.
ever, "Mr. Patten’s absence in a sec.
tion of the country where he will not
be much troubled by either reporters,
or quotations, and the utter weak’
ness indicated by the decline, gave
rise to many hints that “Patten was
well out of it.”
The regular bulletin issued by Bart
lett, Patten & bo. had this to say:
“The real situation is unchanged.
There is no more wheat in the coun
try than there was before the decline,
and the demand is just as good. Our
confidence in higher prices is as
great as ever.”
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
whose information concerning crops,
Mr. Patten recently declared to be
“the joke of the country,” appears to
have been vindicated.
Trinidad, Col. James Ayer Pat
ten, Chicago’s “w'heat king,” who was
reported to have deserted the battle
in the wheat pit to inspect for him
self the wheat situation in the cen
tral west, arrived at Trinidad and
left shortly afterwards for Tecio, Col.,
a little post station near the New
Mexico line.
“None of your business,” was his
reply to a question as to his mission
in Trinidad. “I’ve been hounded to
death by reporters for weeks.”
DESTROY NIAGARA FALL’S POWER.
Chicago Sanitary Canal Would Cost
Falls 490,000 Horsepower.
Chicago, 111. —Niagara Falls would
lose as a source of water power if
the sanitary district of Chicago were
permitted to construct the proposed
sag canal and divert the channel of
the Calumet river, pouring four thou
sand galls of water a second from
Lake Michigan into the drainage ca
nal, according to the testimony of En
gineer E. S. Wheeler, in the federal
hearing before Special Examiner S.
M. Morgan. Such a diversion of wa
ter would reduce the power of Niag
ara 490,000 horsepower, according to
Mr. Wheeler’s expert testimony.
Assistant District Attorneys Wil
kerson and Reed are offering the tes
timony in an injunction suit brought
to prevent the drainage board of con
structing the canal without the con
sent of the war department. The
government declines to interfere on
the ground that the Calumet river is
a navigable stream.

WHAT COLORS SHALL I USE?
This Question is Important in Paint
ing a House or Other Building.
A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting a house. It
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn’t take a second
glance. And It makes a big differ
ence in the price the property will
bring on the market.
As to the exterior a good deal de
pends upon the size and architecture
of the house and upon Its surround
ings. For a good interior effect you
must consider the size of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
Btudying the books of color schemes
for both exterior and interior paint
ing, which can be had free by writing

CURED ITCHING HUMOR.
Big, Painful Swellings Broke and Did
Not Heal—Suffered 3 Years—
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.
“Little black swellings wore scattered
over my face and neck and they would
leave little black scars that would itch so
I couldn’t keep from scratching them.
Larger swellings would appear and my
clothes would stick to the sores. I went to
a doctor, but the trouble only got worse.
By this time it was all over my arms and
the upper part of my body in swellings
as large as a dollar. It was so painful that
I could not bear to lie on my back. The
second doctor stopped the swellings, but
when they broke the places would not heal.
I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies
and in less than a week some of the places
were nearly well. I continued until I had
used three sets, and now I am sound and
well. The disease lasted three years. 0. L.

A woman who is sick and suffering, and won’t at least
try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, is to blame for her own wretched
condition.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of women in
the United States who have been benefited by this famous
old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over
thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman’s suffering.
Read what these women say:
Camden, N. ,T. “lt is with pleasure that I send my testimo
nial for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, hoping it
may induce other suffering women to avail themselves of the
benefit of this valuable remedy.
“ I suffered from pains in my back and side, siek headaches,
no appetite, was tired and nervous all the time, and so weak I
could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman —and this valuable medicine shall
always have my praise.” Mrs. W. P. Valentine, 002 Lincoln
Ave., Camden, N. J.
Erie, Pa.—“l suffered for five years from female troubles, and
at last was almost helpless. 1 tried three doctors hut they did
me no good. My sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, and it has made me well and strong. I
hope all suffering women will just give Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound a trial, for it is worth its weight in gold.”
Mrs. J. P. Endlieli, It. F. I>. 7, Erie, Pa.
Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub*
lish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help
these women it will help any other woman who is suffer
ing from the same trouble.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for 7,)i 5 \
female ills. No siek woman does justice to IU( wr
herself who will not try this famous medicine. S / Was
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and tv ‘ vj
has thousands of cures to its credit. 11 y I
If the slightest trouble appears which fA n)
you do not understand, write to Mrs. \\]jlVT (//
Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for her advice —it is ujllb)
free and always helpful.
W©ntai’s Beauty
Some women retain their beauty to an advanced
age. But women, who regularly endure pain, age
rapidly, for suffering leaves its lasting marks on
them.
Nearly all women suffer more or less with some
form of female trouble. It should not be neglected.
Avoid the pain—treat yourself at home by taking
Cardui, as thousands of other women have done.
Begin at once and give Cardui a fair trial.
J 3t
If Will Help You
Mrs. Katie Burlison, Goreville, 111., tried Cardui and writes:
“I suffered with female troubles, and was so sick I could not stand
on my feet. Finally I began to take Cardui, and soon began to
mend. Now lam able to do all my housework and am in much
better health than I was before.’’ Try it.
