THE LAST DAY TO GET READY
 FOR EASTER IS TOMORROW

As usual hundreds of people are unprepared for the great Easter dress parade and this season, partic- u1arly, there will be more than ever, as the weather has been anything but spring-like. Realizing this fact, Caesar Misch. Inc. have made ex- traordinary efforts to handle irn- mense crowds of people who are sure to rush in at the last minute in order to buy their Easter outfits. Special Easter value prices will also be in force at this store on Saturday as this firm believes that special values should be offered not only at clear ance sales but also during the season when the goods are most wanted. Hundreds of new wearing apparel fashions have been pilipg into this store during the past week, so that people who have already been here will find plenty of new things to ad- mire. Cheerful credit, which makes it so easy for everyone to be fashion ably clothed at all times is freely offered to all who ask for it. No money is required at the-time of pur- chase and whatever the amount of into small sums which may be paid weekly while the clothing is being worn.

PART OF LAKEVlEW MAY BE USED FOR
 DETENTION ROOMS
Charities Department Elk pected To Grant Use of
 Place for Witnesses.

The detention rooms at Lakeview home are likely to be granted the po- lice department, following the request of Prosecuting Attorney Alexander Delaney yesterday, according to su- perintendent of Charities Spencer R. Gordon today.
 t.There is need for a special deten- ton place for both men and women,' '' said Gordon when seen by reporter for The Farmer today, 'tbut a more crying need is for a place to keep children said that ofhcial.''
 It is believed that the a1nashouse is not the proper place for detention quarters, but until the city is able to construct a special building the commissioners are likely to apportion a. certain section for the police. de-

MISSING MAPS ARE BACK IN CITY HALL;
 STAGES VERSION
Paid His Son $50 For White Way Canvass Another
 Payment, Too.

The missing city maps showing the locations of all street lights are back in the vault at the city clerks office but today no one conn ected with the on7ce would say how they got there or where the maps had been.
 The records of the city auditors omcs show that on September 22, s1914 check for $95s was drawn in favor Of 2. H. Stagg for listing and mapping all electric arc, tun gsten, was approved by the members of the finance committee of the common council. There is no record in the council proceedings or in the minutes of the lamps committee to show that this work was ever authorized.
 Alderman StaEg partly cleared up the mystery of the missing maps. to- day, when he said that they had been taken from the o4fice of thee fty clerk for the Information of the tax board, and had been in tine care 1 of that body.
 the maps had SO aided in the loca- ton of lights that the city had been saved the expense of automobile hire, which it had heretofore paid. The alderman also explained the nature Of the claim of $50 presented to the city by his son.
 The young man did work in con nection with the canvass to ascertain who would come into the movement to raise a White way fund. The orig fnaI plan was to have the merchants buy the equipment, but afterward a contract was made by which the United Illuminating Company fur nished it. Young Mir Stagg. it seerns. would have been paid out of this pri- yate fund. sNThe original plan hav- ing been abandoned.'' said Alderman Stagg, my son, not knowing the wiIes and intricacies of things, pres sented his bill to the city clerk. I paid him out of my own pocket He had earned every dollar of it by hard work giving up his vacation, and saw that he was paid. That is all there is to that affair."" concluded the alderman

VAST STORES OF PROVISIONS ARE
 SOLD AS PRIZES
Bulk of 5O,OOO Tons Has Been Converted into Money For
 American Firms.

London, April Fifty thousand tons of provisions sent to English prize courts since the opening of the war have been sold within the last week and the money for the cargoes is in the hands of the court officials.
 Most of the cargoes belonged to American firms. Wheat, flour and all sorts of provisions were included Tired of the delay in getting a hear ing on their eases. agents of the own efs of most of the cargoes welcome the sale, providing the money is paid promptly.
 The provisions were consigned to firms in Holland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Germany, and most of them were shipped early in the war to firms which the British suspected were Goldman agents but the eases never came up for court decision. The supplies were bought, for the most part. on a much lower market than the present. Naturally the own CTS have suffered loss through the delay, but the sale prices, were well above the cost and would enable American shippers to break even if speedy settlements are made.
 Under the international regulations controlling foodstuffs, the regulations generally accepted by both England ana the united States Tood 1SN not oontrabrand unless destined for Nthe use of hostile force. It would have been extremely difficult to prove to the satisfaction of any court that most of the food consignments held in England were of enemy destination, much less that they were for use of the German army. Apparently the English government did not care to undertake such a task. At one time it was suggested that all detained foodstuffs should be sold to the American Commission for the Relief of Belgium. But the English Board of Trade would not consent to such sale. taking the position that the foodstuffs were needed in England. Consequently the cargoes. were finally sold at current prices,

Growth Of Implement Exports.

For a quarter OF a century prior
to 1914 t here was q continuous
growth Of the foreign demand for az
ricultural implements made in the
United States. In 1914 the trade be-
gan to decline 80 far as the figures
on United States exports are con-
cerned, simply because some of the
manufacturers Of this country had
established branch plants in certain
foreign countries for the purpose Of
supplying their customers in those
countries. While this condition nee
essarily lowered the export figures,
1t did not by any means indicate .
falling OF In the trade for U. 8. A.
machines. Since the outbreak of the
war, the exports Of course have de-
clined materially; for shipments to
the countries engaged in conflict have
been suspended since August 1, 1914.
From 1899 to 1914 there were only
| five years which showed the volume
of foreign implement trade to be less
than it was the preceding year. In
most of these cases the decline was
quite small comparatively and In
every case it was due to crop fail
ures in certain parts of the world.
The net growth of the trade from
1899 to 1914 is represented by An In
crease from $3,623,769 to $4O,572, 1853
for q single year. The first figure
shows the exports for 1899, the SEQ
ond for 1918.
In 1893 the foreign trade In farm
machines passed the four million
mark for the first time. Seven years
later, 1900, the trade reached &c.,
099,149. From 1902 to 1903 it jumped
from $16,o0O,OOO to $21,O0O,OOO. In
1907 it reached $26,OOO.OO0; in 1911,
$35, 100000, and in 1918, $4,000, 900.
The following table gives the value
of the exports Of u. s. A. farm ma
chimes for each Of the IS years, 1899
to 1913, the quarter of century pre-
ceding the European war, and shows
how steadily the trade has grown:

The Toronto Mail and Empire says:
The order of the Russian government
prohibiting the export of furs has
come as distinct shock to the Lon.
don auction houses. The Russian gov.
eminent is apparently figuring on
having to equip millions Of troops for
another severe winter campaign. Its
furs are to be retained at home for
that purpose. Incidentally, the action
Of the Russian government will bring
considerable relief to the Indians and
fur trappers of the Canadian North
west, who were almost starving last
year because they had no market for
their catch. The Hudson's Bay Co.,
one of the largest dealers in fur pelts,
was unable to dispose of the north
west production because of the upset
state of the London market. BY the
time the Russian government releases
furs for export, which will not be in
any event until next spring, Russia
will have been cut off from the out
side world, so far as furs are con-
cerned, for full year and a half. The
war is causing a shortage in produc-
ton for public purposes that sooner
or later will be felt in the retail fur
store.

HOW TO HEAL STUBBORN
TORMENTING SKIN DISEASES

Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, heat-rash and
similar itching, burning skin troubles
At any reliable druggists get a jail
of resinol ointment and a cake of resi-
mol soap. These will not cost bit
more than seventy-five cents. With
the resinol soap and warm water
battle the affected parts thoroughly
until they are free from crusts and
the skin is softened Dry very gently
spread on thin layer of the resi-.
mol ointment, and cover with light
bandage-if necessary to protect the
clothing. This should be done twice
a day. Usually the distressing itch
ing and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

William G. Ward, writing for Com.
merce and Finance, says: Last July it
cost us $1.335 to iquidate every one
it cost Englishmen $1.O15, Frenchmen
$1.025, Germans, $1.114 and Russians,
$1.24 to buy American dollars with
which to pay their growing debts in
New York. Since the panic which pre-
ceded the turn of the tide at the out
break of the war we have purchased
from Europe several hundred million
dollars worth of American securities.
Hereafter the earning of the capital
these securities represent will go into
American pockets and ultimately find
their way back into American indus
try as new capital, instead of going
abroad to finance our competitors. The
value of these purchases to US, there
fore, is exactly twice face value. Our
rate of production will increase accord
ingly. Since the war began we have
lent to foreign nations approximately
$240,000,000. The buying from Europe
of American securities simply stopped
the eastward flow of annual interest
payments. The making of loans to Eu-
rope has reversed it.

Winter Wheat Waste.

An agricultural expert declares that
the wheat crop of q single state was
injured this year by the Hessian ny
to the extent of many millions Of
dollars" Another expert in this line
is reported to have said that the
average yield of winter wheat per
acre would have been at least three
bushels larger than it was had all
wheat growing farmers taken the
steps necessary to prevent fly and
other insect damage. II this is true.
the farmers negligence has cost them
this year about 12O,OO0.O0O bushels Of
wheat worth approximately that many
dollars, for the total area sOwn to
winter wheat last fall was over 49,
100000 acres. II it is really true
that the ravages Of the fly and other
insects can be prevented by the prac-
tees recommended by agricultural
experts, the above estimate of three
bushels increase is exceedingly small.
1t has been the custom of agricul-
tural colleges and experiment sta
tons for many years to issue bull
letins or pamphlets, suggesting meth
DDS by which, it is claimed, insect
damage can be reduced to the min
imum. But it is doubtful II any Of
these publications have been read By
one-fourth of the number of wheat
growing farmers and the majority has
not received them.
The situation is one that should
attract the attention of implement
dealers in the winter wheat belt.
Next to the farmer, the dealer 10 the
most benefited by maximum crop
yields. 1t is superfuous to say that
increasing the farmers profits gives
the dealer not only increased bust.
ness but prompt payment of obliga-
tons, and generally makes for better
trade conditions.
Is there any good reason why the
implement dealer should not discuss
the subject with his farmer custom
ers and urge them to obtain all avail
able information respecting prevent
i've practices? Is there any reason
why he should not undertake to
place the college literature on the
subject in the hands of his farmer
customers? This can be done either
by procuring supply of the bull
letins or by sending q list of farm
ers' names to the state college with
a request that the bulletin be mailed
to each.
