Another matter of which the conference
took notice Is the making of the time

the rules governing trials against time are
not observed in spirit by some OF the
tracks where trials are made. A new rule
was Formulated which provides, among

Detailed kilograms to Bradstreets report
a generally active appearance to all lines
of spring jobbing trade. The northwest,
central west, the south and the east all
give testimony to confidence In buying
for the nearby season. Cottons, silk and
dress woolens are all active. but mems
wear woolens for fall delivery lag. The
cold wave is said to have come too late
to help the fur trade. Raw wool is active
on manufacturers buying and prices are
frmer. Lower raw cotton prices have not
yet affected the goods market, which Is
strong. Some revival in export trade with
China is indicated.

as Primrose Day" throughout Eng
land. Primroses We're in evidence
everywhere and Lord Beaconsfield's
monument was decorated with masses
of primroses and other flowers.
Lord Beaconsfeld entered parliament
at the age of thirty-thr after he
had been defeated at four elections.
At orty-eight he was chancellor of
the exchequer, at sixty-four prime
minister, and at seventy-two a member
of the house of lords. He only lived
long enough to be a peer five years.
The house in Curzon street. where he
died, has an unpretentious exterior, but
it is in the most exclusive part of
Mayfair. At one time Beaconsfield
lived in Park Lane.

Six Stations to Be Established in

FARGO, N. D., April 19.-The bene-

are to be thoroughly demonstrated to
the farmers as the result of a plan
outlined by President Worst of the ag-
rucultural college in Fargo, and hear
tily approved and supported by the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern roads.
Six demonstration stations are to be
established three on each of the trans
continental lines The stations will be
in charge of practical farmers but the
work is to be done absolutely in ac-
cord with the directions sent out by
the experiment station here. The ex-
pense of the seed and cultivation is to
be borne by the railway companies.
Besides small grains. the object of
the plan is to get tests of corn ana
clover and alfalfa. There will be five
four-acre plots at each demonstration
station, and the local experiment sta
ton will endeavor to determine the
crops best adapted to the sections to
be covered.

H. Lovejoy, 80 Ohio street, was the
victim of a daylight hold-up yesterday
at Ohio and Franklin streets. She
was robbed of 1920 she was carrying
from the Northern Trust company's
bank to the office of her employed.
The hold-up was the boldest that
has occurred in Chicago for years. II
occurred when many persons thronged
the streets. Scores who witnessed the
robbery started in a chase after the
footpads, who escaped by turning in
to an alley after they had run two
blocks north in Franklin street.
Miss Bennan struggled desperately
to save the money, but was overpow-
cred and thrown to the sidewalk
While one of the men held her by the
throat the other seized the small hand
bag in which the money was concealed.
Come on, we've got the coin," was
the exclamation of the robber as he
tore the hand bag from the young
woman's grasp and ran.
