Grain Letter.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. s.--Wheat: The
market opened shade easier and
ruled within very narrow range UNI
til after noon. when its further buy
ing by local professionals. moderate
rally took place. Buying was pre-
sumably in anticipation of puil'sh
government report tomorrow, as there
was nothing in the cable to cause any
firmness. The strength TN December
wheat possibly added to the ouLlsh
feeling of the professionals, but this
strength. as we understand it, was
caused by belated shorts covering
rather than by any change in the cash
situation, although sale of $4,000
bushels of No. 2 red was said TO have
been made. AS long as the market
continues of such a purely profes-
sional character opinions are value
less.

HAS KICK A COMING.

Last Sunday the Perrysburg Tigers
went to Roachton and played a team
from that place and the next day the
Toledo papers announced the Tigers
victorious by score Of to 3.
This was just a little more than
Geo. Schwind, on whose land the
Roachton ball grounds are situated,
could stand, and with righteous in
dignation he requested the Journal
to make reperation by correcting the
score, which should have been IL to
in favor of Roachton.
We don't blame George for being
just a little warm under the col
lar" for aside from furnishing the
ground he officiated as one Of the ar
bitrators of the game.

hall on Thursday and Friday even
ings, May II and 18th This play is
four act drama, full of romanctic
interest and many thrilling climaxes,
with enough comedy interspersed to
keep the audience in happy mood.
The cast will constitute about the
same people that have presented the
two previous plays here this spring
and gave such thorough satisfaction
On both other occasions the hall has
been crowded to it's utmost capacity
and we have no doubt but that an
equally large crowd will greet then
on this occasion.
The admission will be adults 25c
and children 15c.

THE BAND CONCERTS.

That our people are getting to
appreciate our band more and more
is exemplified by the increased
crowds that turn out each Thursday
evening to enjoy the concerts which
are given on our streets.
This personal interest is all right
in way and the boys are pleased
to know that their efforts are appre-
ciated, but it would be well to re-
member that it takes money to keep
together an organization of this kind,
so If your enthusiasm should increase
so that you would be prompted into
digging into your pocket for some
thing in the way Of more substantial
aid, rest assured that it will not be
cast ON barren soil, but will be the
means of bearing forth much fruit.

BAD FIRE AvERTED.

Last Monday, shortly afte: noon,
fire was discovered in the residence
Of DR.. Theodore Kline on West Front
street. The alarm was Immediately
turned in and the fire company
promptly responded. After reaching
the scene of the fire and laying about
500 feet of hose it was found imprac-
tical to use this means in fighting
the blaze, owing to it's location be-
tween the walls and floors as it was
feared the water would cause more
damage than the fire. A bucket bri-
gade however, soon succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the fire.
The damage is estimated at about
$3.50. 1t is thought that the fire orig
mated from lightning, which entered
the dwelling on the wires, and had
been smouldering for some time.

HuInbIe But Useful Potatn.

Weight for weight, bread is six
times more nourishing that potatoes,
the Cincinnati Enquirer says.
The potato thrives best in Portugal,
where the average yield is twelve IONS
to the acre.
The potato is three-quarters water
and is deficient in nitrogen besides.
Hence it is not in itself a perfect food.
But eaten with meat the combination
is ideally perfect.
The gum on the back of postage
stamps IS made of farina extracted
from potatoes.
The Dutch make a mcIasseslike
syrup of potatoes, and potatoes form
the starch that stiffens the world S
shirts and petIicoats.
A very powerful brandy is made of
the humble potato.
The potato but too often adulterates
cocoa, potted meats, honey, butter and
tapioca.
Potato spirit, a very pure alcohol,
is used to fortify wines, and it is
prophesied that this spirit will sup
plant gasoline as the motive power
of automobiles.
From potato leaves cigarettes are
made, and from potato pulp buttons,
combs and penholders.
