MARKET BETTER
Shorts Covered-May Sold Up
to $1.31-Arrivals at Interior
Points Light

CHICAGO, Feb. s.-There was a de-
cidedly better tone to the wheat market
today. The Generalization that prevailed
yesterday was replaced by pronounced
strength, due to active buying, prompted
by reports of better demand for export
with sales estimated at 100000 bushels.
Some selling caused the market to
waver for a time, but It was absorbed.
There was a good deal of covering by
shorts. May sold as high as s1.31, after
touching SL2TA, and closed at s1.3OA,
against s1.27@ at the end yesterday, and
July advanced to Sl23la, after selling at
$l.203s, and finished at $1.22M, compared
with $l2o7s yesterdays last price.
The action of the market at Liverpool,
which displayed frmness, was n surprise.
General calls for margins were sent out
last night. a better demand for the cash
article was one of the stimulating fac
tors. Arrivals at interior points were
light. Clearances of wheat and -four from
the seaboard were about 100000 bushels
Leading futures ranged as foloyys.

The Old Turnp,kes.

The first great American highway
that between New York and Philadel'
phla, was long known as ''the old York
road" Its construction in I'LL was an
example which led the colonists at
other points along the Atlantic sea
board to construct similar roads where
there were no water routes. They were
usually built by chartered companies
and were called turnpikes or toll roads.
Pennsylvania. Connecticut and New
Jersey had many roads % the kind.
The first macadam road in America
was built in 1892 between Philadelphia
and Lancaster In 1911 there were
said to be 400 miles OF chartered turn
pixies in New England and New York.
During the next twenty years the ma
tional government spent many millions
OF dollars in constructing great high
ways. but the panic q 1881 and the
building Of railroads and canals put an
end to that branch o. government

Of Republican governor find themselves

not indorse Weeks, and found no takers.
Lawson's daughter is the wife of Nc

was betting on a sure thing.

he cannot get without sharp contest.

BRITISH GET ENOUGH ADVICE.
1t Comes in Many FORMS to the Soldiers
In the Trenches.

London, Jan. 3.--Even the famous
British red tape, typical Of pre-war days
of conservatism and bureaucracy, is, al
times. diverted from its customary uses
in the interests Of the army. The fol-
lowing is a copy of ~ application re-
ceived by thes army stationer at Brit
fish headquarters at the height OF the
second battle of Ypres:
please deliver to bearer 1000 yards
of red tape, for use with respirators
for urgent issue to the front immediate
lyn
The occasion was one of the first
German gas attacks, and the 1000 yards
Of rcd tape was supplied instantly and
reached its destination in time.
The army stationar at headquarters
occupies small old-fashioned room
which scarcely gives the visitor an ade-
quate idea of his essential Importance
TO the forces in the field. 1t il com
mon observation among British officials
that "an army marches not ON its
stomach b it rather on its army forms"
There are literally thousands Of varie-
ties Of printed matter supplied through
the army stationer and without which
modern military operations would be
wellnigh impossible.
Nearly two hundred suhprdinates are
required 10 attend to the business oil
which the headquarters stationer is the
head. They handle 700 different kinds
Of army forms, $40 kinds Of books
Of rules and regulations, 60 kinds of
writing paper, and even 20 kinds of
inks. During the first year Of war, the
stationery service. supplied 81 million
field service postal cards, printed in
English. Hindu, Urdu and Gurmukhi, 100
million army message forms, 30 million
Of single type Of army form, and
two million memorandum books for i
army record purposes.
Even in such a small matter as truck /
labels, there are several hundred va
rieties kept in stock, and the total num-
Der on hand Ia never allowed to fall be-
ow two million. More than thous-
md typewritters have been supplied to
he army through the headquarters sta
Toner since the first British troops
anded in France, and the stationer
maintains staff Of experts for repair
ng them.
Pamphlets and books Of many kinds
re included in the catalogue of the sta
toner's stock in trade. There are BIZ
lies and prayer books, brouchures in
trlcting the soldier in the use Of new
Weapons or in the preservation of his
ealth, and confidential documents Of
most diverse character More than
$4,000 copies of booklet entitled
How to Combat Asphyxiating Gases"
7ere turned out in forty-eight hours.
The printing OF all this miscellaneous
natter is done by the local printing Sc
ions of the base stationery depots eth
/ ON their ~7n presses or in conjunc
ion with the French printers in the
awns in which they are quartered. and
lso through the government printers
