Coffee Futures. - The market for
coffee futures lost most of its recent
rally during yesterdays trading. March
contracts sold off to SIS and closed at
s.74 bid, or even with the lowest point
reached last week and about IS points
under the best level Of Saturday. This
decline seemed TO reflect further liqui-

the more favorable view Of Brazilian
crop prospects and reports Of easier

for 1917 delivery. Important interests
in the trade do not hesitate 20 say that
the statistical position of the metal Is
the strongest in its history. IL Is
stated on excellent authority that un-
filed orders on hand at the moment
call for S0000O,0 900 pounds OF the metal.
Most OF this is still under ground. II
is expected that the actual placing OF
the l4s,0O0, 900 pound order by the
Allies will accelerate domestic buying
IN anticipation Of further possible adj
vance in prices. Other metals arc
benefting from tho copper order IN this

the purchase Of such an amount Of

of The Associated Press) Conn
lmittee OF French el;keeprs" that
has recently come into existence besti-
mates that "a million Americans will
come to France imme diately after the
,war&t to- visit the sites which have! be-
come famous during the host lities.
All sorts of suggestions are being
put forward. One is that broad
highway should be laid down along
TIL, front from sDixmude to Belfort, to
be called ..The Holy Roard,". with
plenty OF good hotels at intervals, sim
ply furnished but each containing
from eighty to a hundred rooms and
AN abundant supply of baths. Anoth-
erg suggestion Is the formation " lspe-
cial tourist trains running from the
ChannelSto iBelfort in which the! tour
lists should live and sleep while they
are sightseeing
Meantime the Committee Of Hotel
keepers is. busy preparing for the adj
vent OF the: visitors by training STATS
to replace the German and Austrian
managers and walters of the pre.war
period, renewing furniture, repainttng
and -repapering, and in particular I'M
proving the sanitary arrangements in
the svarious hotels.
/: "A writer in La Renaissance, Mons.
Louis Forest; treating of a subject now
occupying good deal of attention,
thinks France ought to devote her eff
forts to attracting tourists instead OF
organizing with view to increasing
her export trade why" he asks,
send our products to, the foreigner
when we can bring the foreigner to
our products Let us then export
!!nland,-Let us attract the foreigner
and put him in the way of seeking and
testing our native wares.
This writer, by the way, warns his
fellow countrymen that neutral specu-
lators are already buying up French
hotels in large numbers and threaten
to rob France Of valuable asset after
the war. !,
The renovation OF the French hotel
system in view Of post-be llum tourist
traffic will require the employment of
great deal Of capital. This, says
Mons. Forest, must be supplied by
America; which has such largei finan-
cial interests In France that she is.
Substantially concerned in French
prosperity. ", r. {. K " VI s; 81
Since the war began the sanitary
authorities have sitioned through

A Pleasant Surprise.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Halweg and

last Friday evening, March Sd, when a
large company of relatives, friends and
neighbors called at their home north Of
Cresco, to participate in house warm

=. Music, card playing and dancing wsse
the pastimes of the evening, and at
midnight bounteous picnic supper
was served
We are glad to welcome them to our
community, and as token of the best
wishes and esteem of their friends, they
were presented with . purse of money,
with which they purchased beautiful
