The Chicago market report for Wednesday says: The downward plunges in the price of corn, .the chief trading commodity, did not stop until the market was 32 cents a bushel lower than when the cam paign against the high cost of living began a week ago. It was not until there remained only a single hour of business activ ity before the time set for a confer ence between President Wilson and (By Biddy Bye.)

This drink is both trade appeared to give serious cre dence to reports circulated for dajTs that the government would make a radical cut in the price of wheat to consumers. The most definite of these reports was that millers would get wheat from the government 50 cents a bushel cheaper than the gov ernment had guaranteed. This would make flour less expensive than at present by $2 a barrel. As, corn prices have been largely based on a prevalent belief of farm ers that $2.26 a bushel for wheat meant $2 a bushel for corn, and that the value of all other cereaals and consequently of all livestock and meat products had a similar substan tial relation, and the absence of any denial of reports that wheat prices would be severely cut, finally pro duced a tense situation late today. Wholesale throwing overboard of holdings of all commodities made the exchange a, scene of :confusion not often rivaled in peace times. Although the wildest of the flurry had passed when the gongs cleared the pits, the outlook was that re gardless of what the Washington conference decided, the markets to morrow would furnish further . ex citement. The most spectacular tumble to day was in the December delivery of cornr which under furious selling, dropped 10 3-4 to $1.41, but rebound ed, and closed at $1.42 1-2 to $1.43 1-4. At the same time pork plunged down $3.50 t o$44.50 a bar rel for September delivery, and un like corn, displayed no power what ever to rise again from the bottom price reached .

How "live soldiers" were shipped to Texas in caskets purchased for the ostensible purpose of containing the bodies of deceased persons was learn ed by the Louisiana State Funeral Directors' Association at the opening in New Orleans of its sixth annual convention. Dr. Oscar Dowling, president of the State board of health, gave the information to the undertakers as an example of com mon infringements of the law gov erning the sale of coffins. "Not long ago," said Dr. Dowling, "two caskets were used for shipping whiskey to Texas. One of the persons for whom the caskets were bought is not dead yet. I hope to institute le gal proceedings against the under takers who sold these caskets which will prevent them from selling any more." Dr. Dowling asked the assembled undertakers to assist. the State gov ernment in seeing that casket are used to contain the bodies of dead persons only. The law requires no casket shall be sold or disposed of without a permit from the local reg istrar of the district in which the death occurs, and to obtain this per mit a death certificate must be filed or the local registrar must have as surance that one will be filed. spoonfuls of strained, honey and 2 drops of vanilla.

Her marvelous growth and thick velvet covering of flesh spoke well for the feed and care given her.

The Philadelphia Record, making deduction from the platform of Mr. Blease, arrives at the conclusion that should he be sent from South Caro lina to the Senate he would "stand squarely" with Senators Lodge, Knox, Borah & Co. He would be expected to side with them on a platform of eternal opposition to woman suffrage, prohibition and the League of Nations. Passing the re view on "the enemies the President has made." The Record believes he should be regarded as a fortunate man. There is Blease, Vardaman; Hearst, Sherman, Bailey, Harvey, Norris, Johnson and others of that ilk. "What a bunch of viperous spirits, Democratic and Republican!' exclaims The Record. It says they are like the crowd of misfits who de nounced Lincoln throughout the Civ il War and in 1864 named that mon umental 'failure, John C. Fremont, as an independent candidate for Presi dent against him. Lincoln's mem ory has not suffered from their de traction, and Woodrow Wilson ' will fare equally well with posterity.
