Chicago traders, who are bullish on
corn, say that present conditions have
nothing to do with those OF twelve and
eight years ago. where extreme crop
losses We're sustained by drought The
country has made wonderful develop
ments. and consumption Of corn has in
creased so that it is necessary to raise
about 5000. 900 bushels a year to keep
prices within a moderate level and pro-
vide for a moderate carry-over. Corn en-
tiers into more general use than any

radically every few years that the mar
ket's action now is not to be considered
with what it has done in the past. Sem
timent in wheat is inclined TO be more
conservative, although a majority of the
local professionals are bearish.
The government has issued its weekly
weather report as follows:
Continued hot weather over the In
terror of the Southern portions of the
country, with a still further and very
general absence of rainfall over much OF
the Western portions of the corn and cot
ton belt, were the marked features of
the weather for the week.
In the great corn-growing States to the
westward of the Mississippi hot weather,
with excessive sunshine, continued
throughout the week.
Practically no rain occurred in North

souri,. and crops are suffering greatly
Water is becoming scarce. and stock is
being shipped out of the States for lack

In Iowa and Nebraska hot and dry
weather continued until near the end,
when good showers relieved the drought
in Iowa and to some extent in Arkansas
and Nebraska, but more rain is needed
in the laSt-named State. as well as in
portions of South Dakota.

FLOATS SECTION A
LONG Line OF
BEAUTY
The His,eric Floats

The Histeric Floats
Alrst of the bic floats were drawn
by four anu Efx,horse teams, though
a few. motor trucks were employed
by the float committee in carrying
the huge historic pictures OF early
Hawaiian life. The committee entered
four such floats, intended chiefly for
the benefit Of the strangers within
the gates, unacquainted with the half
historic. half-legendary narratives of
the days when the haole. or white
man was known rarely or not at all
in these islands. This was perhaps
the most interesting section OF the
entire pageant to the visitors in Ho-
nolulu.
The historic floats were designed
by the members or the committee.
working together One OF these
showed a primitive Hawaiian grass
hut in the making. Two figures were
shown at this labor. Just in front and
around the little structure were dis
played three large taros. mammoth
specimens OF the vegetable that
furnished the natives chief diet In
early times. These were grown and
supplied by Mrs. T. R. Foster. OF
Kahana.
Building An outrieger Canoe
Another was an exhibit OF primitive
canoe making, set on a four-horse
vehicle. Five Hawaiians, dressed in
the old-time costumes were discovered
at their labors, burning. following
out and giving shape by means OF
stone tools to log. destined later
to float as an outrigger vessel.
Another represented three well
known Hawaiian chiefs OF ancient
times. 1t represented a messenger In
the act of informing Chief Kalaniopuu
of two floating islands off Maui"
This portrayed scene alleged to
have occurred on the arrival OF Cap
tain Cooke, the first white man, in
his two ships. The natives thought
the vessels, so huge to them. were
islands. With Kalaniopuu on this
float were Kamehameha, before he had
become king of all Hawaii, and Ka-
walao; also NUMBER Of the chiefs.

The pergola effect seemed to be
rather a faycrite design in the Floral
Parade, but from those entered with
that design there was none that was
superior to the one entered by former
Governor Geo. r. Carter. The en-
tir feat was one. beautifully decorat-
ed pergola stained. dark green Wis
taria gracefully enciFcled the pillars
and hung from at1re, creating very
pretty scene. At the front and back
were large ferns which added still
more to. the attractiveness of the
float. At each corner of the float

ers in their beaks The bottom of

The predeminating colors were white,
yellow and green. Not only was this
design extremely beautiful. but it
was symbolic and appropriately SO.
Mr.. Carter's own individuality of
taste, confined with Stanley Ste
phenson's decorative skill, were dis
played in an advantageous manner.
Salvation Arny's Float Symbolic.
Typifying the great work which the
organization is accomplishing through
out the world, the float entered in the
automobile section of the parade by
the Salvation Army was both unique
and interesting. Red. yellow and
blue, the Army colors, were used al
most exclusively in carrying out the
color scheme The machine had been

One of the most beautiful as well
as one Of the most costly entries in
the automobile section of the Floral
Parade, was the Overland car which
was entered by the firm of Wall 4

Mr.. Dougherty. Natural maidenhair
fern was used throughout, the plant
coming from Mr.. Wallis own hot
houses, and the machine presented a
yeritable profusion Of this rare fern.
Suspended in front of the machine,
with wings outspread as if pulling it
along, was a huge butterfly, with its
silver trimmings sparkling in the sun
light, and two streamers of frosted
illusion serving as reins. No other
Hover was used in the DECORATION,
and the car as whole was one of
the most unique and interesting in the
entire parade. Beside Mr. Dougherty,

KING GEORGE URGES
PEACE ON EARTH
Princess Louise of Germany Becomes
the Bride of Prince Ernst of
Cumberland.

Berlins May 2" THE preservation
of peace is my fervent desire, as it
was the chief. aim and object of my
dear fathers life" declared King
George of England at luncheon
given by the British ambassador to
the members of royalty, who are as
sembled here in attendance on the
wedding of Princess Victoria Louise,
Emperor Williams only daughter. and
Prince Ernest of Cumberland.
Love and diplomacy entered into
the marriage Saturday Of Princess
Victoria Louise and Prince Ernst
August, youngest son of the duke OF
Cumberland.
In brilliancy and in point of the
great number of royal personages
present the nuptials far outshone any
similar event during the past decade.
Kings, monarchs of lesser rank and
crown princes and princesses saw the
fair-haired. blue eyed twenty one-year-
old daughter OF the German kaiser
become the wife of the strapping
twenty -sixyear-old prince and with
the ceremony was healed a breach
between the houses of Hohenzollern
and Guelph which had existed for
about half century
Princess Victoria Louise had for her
attendants three OF the prettiest girls
OF her own caste In Europe. They
were Princess Mary. daughter of King
George and Queen Mary of England;
Princess Elizabeth, daughter of King
Charles Of Roumania; Grand Duchess
Olga. eldest daughter Of the Car of
Russia. and Princess Yolanda of Italy.
AS would be imagined, the wedding
gifts are almost fabulous. Their value
Is estimated at close to 100000
The kaiser was so glad that the old
quarrel with the house of Guelph was
settled that, after the marriage had
been arranged, he promised to create
new German state and make the
groom the ruler of it. Accordingly
Prince Ernst became the duke Of
Brunswick and the grand duke Of
Luneburg.
