cSnulating abundant stocks. The trend
of foreign opinion was also clearly
indicated by the receipt of numerous
buying orders for futures in western
markets, as well as the additional
heavy purchases of actual grain. l,5OO,..

Further evidence of urgent export
requirements was found in he report
that 100000 sacks Of -four had recently
been sold 10 European government
agents, and not heretofore announced.
The improvement in the demand was
ascribed in part 10 more definite asser-
tions regarding President Wilson'S OPP
position TO an embargo on exports OF
foodstuffs. Confidence was also re-
stored 10 some extent by more hope

justment of controversies regarding
submarine activity and other war de-
velobments.
Domestic statistical data continued
bullish as wheat is being sent out
through distributing channels more
rapidly than it is being received, and
hence there may be another decrease
in the visible supply on Monday; n
decidedly uncommon occurrence at this
season. The worlds weekly statistics
also promise TO be bullish. which will
doubtless cause further advances in
Europe. All exporting countries out
side of North America are shipping
on q smaller scale, which will prob
ably lead TO another reduction in the
quantity afoat for Europe.
The advances brought out further
liquidating sales, causing frequent
sharp recessions. Continued unsatis-
factory storage and insurance condi-
tons in Chicago led to especially heavy
pressure on December contracts, which
fell to &c below the May price, the
largest discount for the season.

SCHOOL ELECTION
TO Be AH0TF|CHT
Moline Citizens Are Taking Unusual
Interest i'm Activities of the Board
of Education.

For the first time in years a school
election in Moline gives promise of
bringing out mparatively heavy
vote. Election day is Saturday, April
Is. Differences among the members
of the board of education as to admin
istration policies and the dismissal of
{. H. Maxson by the school board last
spring, when the board voted by secret
ballot, has resulted in many Moline
citizens taking a greater interest in
school affairs. 1t is apparently begin
ming to dawn upon the electorate that
the school board is an important or
ganization in that it has more money
to spend than does the city council.
1t is understood that Wilson P Hunt,
now member of the board, will resign
to become candidate for president. Mr..
Hunt stands for higher efficiency in
the teaching corps He would have the
teachers committee recognized, with
the understanding that the reorganiza-
ton committee shall act merely in an
advisory capacity to the superintend-
ent and shall not in any way attempt
to dictate to him, either as regards
employing or hiring of teachers. or as
to conduct Of school affairs.
Members of the board whose terms
expire this year are:
Mrs. o. F. Anderson, c. R. Rosebor-
ough. A. T. Jacobson Alvin Anderson
During the year W. J, Davis, mem
Der of the board, died, thus leaving an
additional vacancy to be filled.
OF the foregoing, Mrs Anderson and

for reelection. Alvin Anderson, it is
understood, will accept reelection
Three candidates for the vacancies are

Chicago, March 1S.-Henry Siegel,
former merchant and banker, who
used to advertise himself as hailing
from New York, Chicago and Boston
in that ORDERS in Chicago, but
isn't boasting of any home now.
He registered as plain Henry Sieg-

Siegel was barricaded in room 23S
when reporter reached the hotel.

the cigar counter and smiled upon the
girl attendant. He dotted his hat,
but said not word. The girl with

BY MARY AQUN.

The wonderment and revelation an
action often contains for the elucida-
ton of the beholder is as marvellous in
its unfolding as the MISUNDERSTANDING
petals of narcissi that spring so in
stantly to full open as to be invisible
to the eye unless seen in photography,
which is the nearest thing to lightning
fash man knows how to use.
This was noted in the act of per-
son who had not specially made any
impress upon another's mental vision
until he was seen giving common,
ordinary bug-perhaps it bears high
sounding name in the only tongue-the
right of way to further pursuit of eats
and happiness.
1t was not SO much the fact that he
let the bug escape as the phenomenon
that he did not instantly crush it with
his heel, that held ones attention, for
sweetly gotten up ladies have been
seen to follow to the very crevices Of
the wall this same variety of harm
less insect, and one fell to analyzing
the sort of temperament that goes
with an inherent dislike to kill, especi-
ally when given so little. time to think
it over Had there been the slightest
tendency toward cruelty in the mans
makeup it would have had to assert
itself when taken by surprise. In
stead, there was a greeting and clear
right of way for his bugship.
Following this little light up with
unconcerned questioning Of this and
that, brought out other traits equally
harmonious with the higher laws and
worthy of emulation, chief one this
mans attitude toward women, friendly,
but not presumptuous and leering, but
the sort of fellow Robert Rexdale must
have had in mind when he wrote: mo
drawer deed can fortitude proclaim,
Than praise for him who guards a
woman's name" And so, from the lit
tie episode of the bug, it was learned
anew that the gentle are the strong;
strong to do and think right, even in
the midst Of company of callow youth
and senile men who spare none OF the
beautiful things death or dissertation

1t brought to mind another that one
| thought he knew very well for several
years and on whom unkindly criti-
cism could not mold opinion until that
day he was heard to tell the charity
he did for a friend, and tell it where
1t could be heard as plainly as II
| sounded by courier. He seemed to
chuckle and grow smirk over the "gra-
| cious deed" and pat himself to learn
he was so generous, quite astonished
at his own mood. The leaves fell from
the cabbage, revealing the grabbed

, hates children-all are card indexes
to the real character, though SEEM
ingly infinitesimal observations. With
thankfulness one turns to the friend
of clean mind; to the woman who
snuggles the last baby as eagerly as
the first, the everyday Madonna; the
old woman whose faith makes prayer
necessity to others; the incOrrupti-
bility Of sweet spring-time-in- life
girl; the sorrowed soul who has not
breathed its name. These are the
flashlights into the lives of others and
ourselves that chasten.
The greatest prose poet of the Eng
! fish language and a man of towering
intellect and honest of deed has caught
the thought and imprisoned it as:
Then keener thoughts of men and
eyes that see behind the smiling mask
of craft--fattered no more by the OBJ
sequious cringe of gain and greed
| knowing the uselessness of boarded
gold-or honor bought from those who
charge the usury of self-respect-of
power that only bends a coward
knees and forces from the lips of fear
the lies of praise. Knowing at last
the unstudied gesture of esteem, the
reverent eyes made rich with honest
thought, and holding high above all
other things, high as hopes great
throbbing star above the darkness of
the dead-the love of wife and child
and friend"
1t fetches some pain, this gift OF
second-sight into the human store
house, but it compensates with knowl-
edge of the delicate loves, aspirations,
sacrifices and beauties Of noble ma
lures, hidden as violets in the Alps,
never to be found by the uncaring and
unresponsive.

1ng great work. From 1911 to 1914
the work was carried on by two
nurses and Miss Thompson, princi-
pally in the courts.
Gives Some Illustrations.
Miss Thompson told of one case as
complishing. A Lithuanian woman
who had been in this country a few
months, was apprehended by police
man, in the act of dropping her three
small children over a wall at one of
the public Fairgrounds in the stock
yards district.
The officer took her to the station
and told of her queer actions and she
was Ordered to be tried for her sanity.
The woman was in high state of
nervousness and unable to explain her
actions to the police, as she could not
speak English. An Interpreter was
secured and investigation proved that
the woman was not mentally detiC-
lent. Her husband was confined in a
hospital with typhoid fever and she
had been elected by her landlord. The
ly since she came to Chicago were the
officials at the Fairgrounds and she
went there at night with her three
children. AS the gates were locked
she was attempting to put her chill
dren over the fence, later intending
to climb ever herself and consult the
Fairgrounds officials, when the police
man found her. Employment was Sc
cured for her and when her husband
recovered they were provided for until
he was able to get work. The family
has been self supporting since and O
near tragedy was averted.
County is Cooperating.
Miss Thompson also described re-
forms that had been accomplished in

DAVIS THEATRE.
Four Shows Today, 1.so, s.15, e.45 and s.45 = Keth Vaudeville, Triangle PhotopIays and Charlie Chaplin in His Latest Comedy.

There will be four shows at the Davis today, at 1.30, 3.15, 6.45 and S.45, and the show today is one of the finest attractions of the season. Head ing the bill is Fremont Brenton and company, who present a clever com edy sketch called Handkerchief No. IS. This act has been a big laughing hit the past two days and some of the company have played in this theatre with the Poli players in days gone by. Another excellent act is the F'aXin Sis ters, two winsome girls who do a re- fined singing and change act. Both have beautiful voices and are a treat to listen to. F. Dalmer is the third act and he tells jokes while all the time he is busy drawing funny cartoons. His act is one everyone will like. In the photoplays the Triangle feature is called A Child of the Paris Streets
 with Mae Marsh and Fully Marshall as the stars. This is one of the most interesting Triangle offerings ever presented here. The comedy is fur nished by Charlie Chaplin, the greatest comedian on the screen today, in his latest and greatest fun-maker, called The Fireman. If you miss seeing this you will surely regret it, for Charlie is sure some fireman. For the first half of next week another excellent bill has been booked of both Triangle
