1C THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4. 1012. but ve very much question If anything has been worked out as yet. It is said that the steel corporation profits lor November are probably about 112,000.000. On the basis of a rather more ex tended 6hort interest last night, the bulls seem to have renewed confidence in their position. Our opinion is that if there is any balance of the argument for the time being, it rests with the adverse view. Daily United States Weather Map U. S. Department of Agriculture. WEATHER BUREAU.

A series of robberies culminating last night or early this morning in the burglarizing of a jewelry store and a hardware establishment in Milan, gives reason to believe that a regular ly organized band of plunderers has been busy here for a week or more past. Several men, armed with shot guns were seen riding south from Mi lan in a buggy thi6 morning and ef forts are being made to trace them in the belief that they are the robbers. The last of the burglaries to be re ported was that of the W. F. Nichols jewelry store in Milan. The entire Etock of the little shop excepting a few stick pins, was cleaned out, the total loss being between $300 and $500. Entrance was gained with a pass or skeleton key and the door was left open after the job was done. HARDWARE STORE ENTERED. Burglars entered the hardware store of Rathbun Brothers of Milan some time last night, getting away with three shot guns, a Marlin repeating rifle, and a safety razor. Their at tempts to secure money were unsuc cessful. An entrance was effected by means cf the front door. The men used a brace and bit to cut out the lock, but. after half coniDletine this work found it too slow and broke the glass. The cash register was thrown to the floor and smashed with an axe, but on finding no money there the men knocked the dial off the safe, after a futile attempt, to solve the com bination. They then made good their escape. ANOTHER ATTEMPT. About 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, a lone burglar effected an entrance to the McCullum saloon, but was inter rupted 'n his work, when the family, who have quarters at the rear of the saloon, were aroused. A terrific bat tle between Byrel McCullum, a son of the proprietor, and the cornered ban dit ensued, in which the youth was felled by a terrific blow upon the head, delivered with the butt end of a revolv er. The man made his escape. He had pried open a side window and had just begun his work when both father and son entered the room. The man leap ed our of the window, closely followed by the son, and the battle occurred in a woodshed at the rear of the es tablishment. K ORRERIES IX CITY. It is supposed that the same gang of plunderers was implicated in the robbery of the Franks residence in this city Sunday afternoon, at which time jewelry in the amount of $500 or thereabouts was stolen. It may be too that the robbers perpetrated the ice box thefts which occurred just after Thanksgiving in the east part of the city. A half dozen boxes were opened and everything of value taken.

Important local J leaders are thought to be working on the long side of wheat. Newspaper comments are more friendly. Cash wheat prices look low and there is lit tle profit in delivering on December contracts. Further Argentine news is desired. Chicago December wheat is about 19Vi cents under Liverpool December. December wheat at Kansas City, Minneapolis and Winnipeg is around the 80-cent basis, and many believe this low enough. Chicago No. 2 red wheat is $1, and will continue $1 all the crop year. The government December report comes next Monday. The B. W. Snow report is due today, but may not ex ercise any effect, as winter wheat con ditions is known to be at 90 to 92. Corn bulls predict another cent ad vance. December corn promises make a new high. Shorts are also in combat with this class of puchasing.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs which unfortunately are looked upon as heralds of advancing age. Gray hair, however handsome it may be, makes a person look old. We all know the advantages of being young. Aside from the good impression a youthful appearance makes on others, simply knowing that you are "looking fit" gives one courage to undertake and accomplish things. So why suffer the handicap of look in sr old to ( on account of gray hairs, when a simple remeuy win give your nair youthtul color and beauty in a few days' time ?
