1.-The mother said McCorkle ode
clared there was only five dollars left
to live on that month. When the baby
was sick and the doctor prescribed
castor oil, he would not leave one dose
because there was no money for it.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, May 21.-WHEAT-Bullish
wheat market an upward swing. lead
ing expert sent word that large acreage
in the southeastern section of the state
was worthless and that in other fields the
damage had been greater than seemed
probable. Some buying for an export
house caused the May option to lead the
the advance. Opening prices, which varied
from "a off to PC advance, were followed
by gains all around, and then moderate
reaction.
Reports that suggested 64,o0O,oO0 less
wheat in Kansas and Oklahoma than was
harvested in 1914 caused a second swell in
prices There were also advices that
millers were competing for the unsold
wheat at Duluth. The market closed
strong at 11sc to 11sc advance
CORN-Corn rallied owing to the bulge
in wheat Lower cable quotations led to a
little weakness at first After opening
A@Ac to &@1ac down, the market ascend
ed above last nights level
Need of dry warm weather was an ele-
ment later in decided upturn- The close
was firm, 3s@1ac to lie above last night
OATS-Oats traders took their cue from
the action of wheat. Business however,
was not large.
PROvISIONS-Higher prices for hogs
tended to lift provisions. Offerings on the
hard spots though were quite free.

NOT CALLED TO ITALY.
Reservists in United States Believed
Not Needed at Home.

Washington, May 21-Italians in
the United States probably will not be
called back TO the colors unless the
European war is to continue for an
other year Italian officials believe
Italy has sufficient men in her home
army to maintain vigorous offensive
against Austria
The possibility that Italy's entrance
in the war may compel peace in an
ether six months is suggested in Ital-
ian quarters here as a reason for with
holding any call for reservists resident
in foreign countries until the neces-
sity for them shall become apparent
through the development of military
operations ,s..4=.=A

The Public School and Patriotism.

DO you ever think that next to the home
itself, the public school is the greatest factor in
our national life that no other institution in
fuences the thought and growth of the repub-
lie? In none OF IT'S manifestations is it more
potent, or possessed OF greater opportunities
than in that OF It's teaching OF the lessons essen
tal to the development OF the patriotic sense Of
the children who are under its care At the
meeting OF the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton in Omaha during the week complaint
was made by one of the speakers that the public
schools are not sufficiently diligent in the teach
ing of American history
The public school has a great opportunity in
the teaching of American history, not to merely
lnculcate an idea of bunptiousness, but to de-
veop the deeper patriotism. with the higher
motive of making better Americans out of the
children who are growing up. II is not jingo-
ism that should be taught, but an understanding
OF our institutions and opportunities. Amer
lean history involves in its proper study the his
tory of all other countries. the rise and growth
of ideas of government the evolution OF social
and industrial relations and the political devel-
opment that has marked mans advance 1t is
not asked that the child be taken along the en-
tire route. but Il should be made plain to the
young mind that history does not consist of ex-
citing, and often apochryphal, tales OF battle,
a musty sequence of dates and names, Let the
wonderfully fascinating vista be opened up be-
fore the. eyes of the child, and the pursuit of
further knowledge win eagerly follow,
No greater privilege is granted than that pos
sessed by the public school teacher in the oppor-
tunity of shaping the patriotic impulse of the
children OF this country. The more American
history is understood by the individual, the bet
ter his citizenship.

Dilemma of Daniels.

The present status of the case of the Prinz
Ettel Friedrich is giving the secretary of the
navy more worry than he has had at any time
since he changed the Technology of the tars
No doubt Mr. Daniels is eager to do the right
thing by his unbidden guest, now in snug quar-
tiers at Newport News, but he does not seem to
understand exactly how far he Is obligated by
the rules OF hospitality. In Mr. Daniels home
state It is not the right thing to limit the stay of
a visitor no matter how embarrassing his pres
ence may be to the host but this tolerance is
unrecognized by international law, on the strict
observance of which we are just now so in
sistent
In the meantime, Captain Thierichens shows
some inclination to flout the Navy department
Of the United States He has declared on every
opportunity his intention of putting out to sea,
but has not declared the length of time needed
TO accomplish repairs essential to his going. 1t
is the latter neglect that has laid the captain
and his good ship liable to detention by the
United States. but the captain seems bent on
writing little more international law. He will
find, though. that the spirit of the American
navy has not entirely died out under the Iiten-
ing influence OF grapejuice and that the COM
handing officers of the American battleships arc
very apt to act on an understanding OF interna-
tional law that doesn't support his present atti-
tude
At any rate. Il seems time that a little firm
ness should qualify the assertion of American
rights, not necessarily to meet the case OF the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, but that Il may be gener-
ally understood that the hospitality of the
United States is not TO be wantonly abused by
any.

Hail. Gentle Spring.

The calendar OF the seasons underscores
Sunday. March 81, as the opening day Of spring,
and the hour 11:45 a m II is we'll 70 record
the time precisely lest the official weather man
fall asleep at the switch and sidetrack the equl-
noctisl limited.
The season brings 70 all the message Of re-
newed life, OF animation and hope. Winters
dizziness and confinement gives way to the &C.
tvities OF outdoor life and all nature responds
to the vitalizing power Of solar heat. Such Is
the annual message. II is unchanged this year,
hut the perplexities OF the times threatens to
duh appreciation.
The havoc and ravages OF war. the distress
and bad temper IL engenders touches us in the
material well as in the physical sense. The
irritations Of material loss are made doubly an
noyng by the manner in which they are affected.
Yet our losses are Insignificant our irritations
are childish beside the sufferings and sacrifices
OF nations at war
As people We have unequalled reasons for
greeting the message Of spring with courage and
confidence We enjoy the Unreasonable bless
ings OF peace. All over the country factories
and workshops resuming operation. All
over the country increased reserves of banks in
sure ample means for financing business and in
dustry. The stimulus OF moderate-priced ma
terial hold out promise OF a normal year In
building operations. Above all rises as surely
seed time the certainty OF harvest which
will afford abundance for home needs and sup
ply the food deficits OF warning lands:
Broadly viewed i'm the light OF actual condi-
lions, Americans should hail gentle spring and
whatever weather variations it brings with
hearts Of gladness and the spirit Of aggressive
optimism that takes no note OF passing clouds.
