Omaha Future Market.
Heavy export business and short cover
ing were largely responsible for today's
advance, the May and July options on
wheat closing strong at a 3Hc advance on
May and lie on July,
The local trade was very active wheat
trading being confined largely to the May
article and corn to the May and July op-
tons.
The export sales at the seaboard amounted
to about 100000 bushels Of wheat and this
fact shows that the railroad situation is
beginning to show signs of clearing up.
The trade in oats was rather quiet and
this market followed wheat and corn on
the advance the May option closing &c
higher.

About 200 school officers were pres
ent at the annual meeting of the Cass
County School Officers association
held at Casselton yesterday.
Z "The meeting was one of the larg-
est and the most enthusiastic that has
been held by the association" said
County Supt. J. ". Riley today.
1t was decided to hold the next an
nual meeting about a month earlier,
as 1t was believed that weather condi-
tions would be more favorable for the
session -..-..
. Two features OF the program were
the addresses by County Superintend-
ent Riley and County Auditor w. H.
Tucker. Mr.. tliley made a stirring plea
for the American nag. pointing out to
the school officers why they should
see to it that the laws regarding the
flying of the flag over the school house
should be lived up to. He also told
OF three weeks campaign for the
flag just completed among the schools
of the county, and the success that
has attended 1t. AS he completed his
ADDRESS a large American flag was
lowered behind the speaker, who ask
ed everyone present to stand and give
the flag salute used in the schools
This was done with much enthusiasm
County Superintendent Riley Is put
ting UP a strenuous campaign for a
little more enthusiastic patriotism in
the schools.
Road Tax Wasted.
County Auditor Tucker gave a fine
talk on road taxation and road work.
The county auditor did not mince
matters in the least and told the
school officers of the waste that Is
experienced in the present system of
expending road moneys, saying that
the money that is wasted under the
scheme used at the present time would
build many good county roads.
The big entertainment feature of
the session was the serving Of a spien-
did dinner at noon and a lunch in the
evening by the domestic science girls
of the Casselton high school.
'"Those girls have something to be
very proud Of" said County Superin-
tendent Riley. When group of girls
drop everything else and serve two ex-
celient meals to 200 people, and do 1t
in the way that the Casselton girls
did. they are to be congratulated on
their work"

Berlin, via London, Dec. Ser
many will reply in day or two with
a memorandum to the representations
which Joseph Grew, secretary of the
American embassy has been making
regarding the deportation Of Belgian
laborers. The reply Is expected to fol-
low much the same lines as that made
to the Belgian protest through the
Spanish government, the substance Of
which is published in The North Ger

The result of Crews conference with

the subject, probably will be that
