EXCELLENT WORK
OF MARINE CORPS
OFFICER OF THE LOCAL RE-
cRuITING STATION TELLS OF
WHAT THE LIFE or THE BLUE
JACKET Is--MARINE MAN THE
MAN or THE HOUR.

In letter from f. III, Herbert Of
the Fargo marine corps recruiting
station, he tells of the splendid work
that the men of this division of the
army are doing. The letter Is as fol-
lows:
The marines have landed and have
the situation we'll in hand"
How frequently do we see this head
line in the morning paper over a
press dispatch from some distant land
or remote island. Yet how few Of us
fully understand the significance in
those few words how few of us know
who those marines" are who "have
the situation well in hand" 1t con-
jures up the mysteries of the sea, and
of strange lands and stranger peo-
pies far out of the scope of our indi-
vidual sphere OF observation and ac-
quaintance, for the average American
citizen has but vague idea OF who
the marines are, where they go, what
they do, their characteristics, duties
and dress.
Somewhere in his mind is stored
away the impression that a marine IL
some kind of amphibious warrior of
the sailor type, wearing sailor uni-
form and whose habitat is in that part
of the world where the most trouble
is brewing. At all events he looks up
on the marine as being a man who is
thoroughly onto the job, and let's it
go at that
The marines comprise the military
branch of the naval service and serve
both at sea and on shore at the navy
Yards and naval stations. Tt is the
gallant little corps that has so ably
assisted in fighting Americas battles
both on land an sea.
In every corner Of the globe for
more than century its members are
the first men on the ground in case
of trouble with foreign power, and
the first men in battle in case of hos
tilities. They have at all times serv-
ed their country faithfully, both in
peace and war and reflected great
credit upon themselves as a corps and
on the nation which they have rep
resented. AS ever they have lived up
to the letter as well as the spirit of the
motto of the corps "Semper Fidelis."
At the Philadelphia navy yard a
regiment of marines are standing
ready to go to Mexico where the Mex
leans are destroying American proper
ty and insulting the Americans and
the flag.
Word was received at the Fargo
marine recruiting station in the Magill
block that the Fargo Office would be
closed in a short time. The corps is
rapidly being filed and 1t is very UNI
certain as to the length of time that
the local office will remain open.

Daily Grain Letter.


CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-Wheat-Fur-
Their liquidation broke wheat in spite
of firm foreign markets. The weak
tone in corn and oats has also been
an influence. The tired and disguised
longs have been selling and we be-
lieve there is more of this sort Of
selling to be done. The foreign situa
ton is bearish both in the way of
news and statistics. Argentine ad
vices indicate favorable progress and
the probability of big crop. Europe
is getting supplies from all directions
and now has in view good crops COM
ing forward In Argentine, India and
Australia Domestic stocks are large
and continue to increase. We see no
reason for altering our belief that
American wheat must go to an export
basis, which means lower level
Corn-The magnificent weather for
the new crop which is now practical
ly out Of danger furnishes additional
reason for short selling. Local trad
ers raided the market from the start
and caused much liquidation on the
part of tired out holders. Country sell
ing of old corn is fairly good while
cash demand is poor The pit must
take burden of hedging sales as
we'll as speculative selling. We con-
slider the corn situation decidedly too
bearish but the market is heavily ov-
oyersold. We see no reason for in
vesting in corn futures at the cur
rent level but repeat our advice of
yesterday to take profits on short
stuff and await rally before resell
ing.
Oats-Continued raiding by local
professionals developed further weJS-
ness. Even the comparatively low
price is not attracting investors. The
situation is heavy, but the market is
oversold We are still bearish in the
long run but advise profit taking on
this break.
Provisions-Packers continue to
support the nearby deliveries. With
out this support weak market would
develop, stock yards spectators and
those who have good opportunity to
look into the future are selling Janu-
airy product. We have advised its sale
for sometime past and still feel that
January product sold on hard spots
will be profitable.
