Cash Corn conuestion.

Chicago. Jan. 1Q-Congested cash
corn position demands another 30 TO
60 DAYS for working ont OF present con-
ditions. Country selling price is UNI
likely to dip below 55c average. or
about equal to &C or Coo for May corn.
Our New York wires yesterday cover
firming up of Argentine corn offers at
sea6oard and further offerings OF a
half million Danubian corn.
The immediate trend in corn depends
on amount of corn the Argentine can
give 10 the east in the coming 60 days.
Many Indications that the west will
not sell corn at crib below a 55c aver
age.
Chicago corn shipments to the east
this week continue 20 run 30 per cent
OF normal. Primary receipts OF wheat
in the United States and Canada are
small. General trade news is less
promising 10 the security list and the
presence of Danubian corn offerings
in New York suggests lesseaed coarse
grain consumption in Europe.
There exists the great probability
that the Chicago May corn price will
resist an export level ald will con
tinue to represent the small 1913 yield
Local heavy corn supplies may be
carried for a longer period than is Gus
tomary.
Technical position OF corn Friday
night was improved. Recent marvel
Gus factors have been well discount
ed. Bears show signs of rest-of a
slower pace.
For the first time in history news of
the new Argentine corn crop assumes
par value I'm the pit.
Argentine corn planting runs August
to the end OF December. Harvest per-
ioi covers February to May. First
ripening OF the corn Is expected about
the end OF February.
Oats must be regarded from their
position On the decline. Any bull
breathing spell IN cora viii help them
Would give oats every rallying oppor-
tunity.

CHER lazy Boy.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-The Adventures
correspondents, military men and
scientists of the country, has made
Lazy Boy (Pah-kocs-co-ma-pi) one of
the remaining noted warriors of the
Glacier National Park Blackfoot tribe
of Indians, an honorary member in
that organization.
The ceremony was conducted by
Medill Mccormick, who also had the
honor of officiating when Mr.. Roose-
welt was made an honorary member
of the club. Mr.. Mccormick was the
Roosevelt campaign manager during
the last presidential election. He
regards Lazy Boy as the best type of
American Indian he ever saw.
The only other honorary member
of the Adventures club is Theodore
Roosevelt Lazy Boys qualifications
embrace adventures in many Indian
battles against the Sioux, Grow, Nez
Perces and Kootenai tribes. but the
one incident that he rested his laurels
upon was a night attack by himself,
his brother and two Indian compan-
ions upon a band of 200 Crows in
1876. They crawled out upon the
shelf rock of Mount Henry. which is
nine miles from Glacier Park sta
ticn, Mont, and opened fire upon
tier enemies, who were sleeping in
twenty lodges in the Two Medicine
valley, 1000 feet be,ow.
Lazy Boys brother was killed be-
eide him and his two companions
were wounded. Lazy Boys shirt was
riddled. The Crows came up the
mountain side and Lazy Bow in re-
treating dragged the body of his
brother with him and hid it.
He and his two companions
escaped TO their camp in the Cut
Bank country. The next day they
returned with reinforcements and
drove the Crows over the Divide,
them to leave 100 dead
behind them

pleasant odor of cookery. Take off
your things and sit down. Breakfasts
most ready. My land, l guess you

Quimby told me who was cooking for
you. and says to Quimby: What l

be able to amuse them with stories Of
how Cleopatra whiled away the quiet
Egyptian evenings, ! says, and he
may be able to throw little new light
on Helen of Troy, who would object
to having it thrown if she was alive
and the lady think her, but l says,
when it comes to cooking, l guess he
stands about where you do, Quimby.
You see, Quimby's repertory consists
of coffee and soup, and sometimes it's
hard to tell which he means for
which,"

You're right, maam.' Mrs Quinn

gument and that he amt made 1t over

After ten more minutes Or pustle,
Mrs Quimby announced that they

breakfast she served them moved Mr.
