The Height Question.

General Arthur Murray said at a
dinner in San Francisco, apropos of
the height of soldiers:
"The British army has raised the
height limit for volunteers to five
feet five. Short Britishers object to
this-and with reason.
"For consider the Japanese. They
are Incompatible soldiers. Yet the
five feet five limit would bar most of
them out.
Consider the Gurkhas, the Hill
Tribe soldiers Of India. They are as
valiant as the Japs, yet their height
runs from four feet eleven to five feet
four.

A Hopeless Case.

A man of pessimistic bent
Was Ebenezer Wilkins Trent,
Who wore look of utter gloom
And talked as if the crack of doom
Were drawing near. One morning
bright
He oped his door and catching sight
Of one whose frame was gaunt and
thin,
He straightway called the fellow in
And gave him-well, what do you
think?
Some clothes, perchance, or food and
drink?
All, no. He merely shook his head,
Heaved forth a doleful sigh and said:
ooh, friend, gentle ear incline,
My tale of woe is worse than thine. +"

. CHICAGO, Jan. 3-Wheat-The
wheat trade in this country does not
realize as fully as do the food COM
mfssioners Of importing countries
the prospective scarcity of cereals Tor
the rest of this year. and prooaply
during the next year. This undoupt
edly accounts for the limited trade IN
wheat and for the scanty offerings on
recent bulges. A factor in the strength
has also been the buying of cash
wheat by interior miAers, whose
stocks had been allowed to run low
and whose provision for the remand
er of the. year is inadequate. The
apparent determination Of the war
ring nations to continue fighting to
some definite conclusion is credited
with being the reason for yesterday s
and today's advance. The real rea-
son however, is an economic one,
and this will be more fully demon
strated as the scarcity of foodstuffs
develops.
Corn-Corn is a food stuff and
looks cheap to the foreign consumer,
who is and has been the best buyer OF
our commercial supply ever since it
began to move from this crop The
Spectator insists on selling It, be-
cause the price is high, and the for
eigners insists on buying it, because
It makes alcohol in larger quantities
than can be obtained from other
sources and is also a cheap substitute
for wheat at prevailing prices. The
bear side of corn has been wrong al
year and will probably continue so.
Oats-Oats shared the strength in
other grains and were helped along
by the bearish attitude Of majority
of the local trade. The market has
mot advanced in proportion to other
grains. and 1t win not be surprising

Daily Stock Letter.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today says:
Today's stock market was OF a
highly professional character, with
strong bullish sentiment underlying
it. Contradictory news developments
with respect to the outlook for peace
and in connection also with our re-
lations with Mexico served to mako
the public cautious. That the b1us-
tering Of the Berlin press does not
forecast the action of German i'm
perial government on the allied reply
to the recent peace overtures would
seem to be indicated by the report
from the German capital that Ameri-
can Ambassador Gerard had sent
long communication to Washington,
following an interview with Beth-
mann-Hollweg. The feature Of today's
trading was the demand for the steel
group and for the shares OF those
companied which have property in
Mexico. Important banking interests
were credited with accommodating u.

WILL GET IT IN SHAPE
Retention Of Concern Like This Is Felt
to be VTtally Important for
Commercial
Body.

The Keokuk Industrial association
has made arrangements temporarily
at least, to assist the Gate City Laun-
dry company, which on account of
heavy overhead expense and a mort
gage of considerable sum. has found
itself in a rather serious business stu
alton. The association has gone to
it's aid, believing that the retention of
a local business like it. is worth
while. The closing down OF the plant
would mean the throwing out OF en-
fployment of something like twenty
people, and it is felt that the value OF
such an industry to the community Is
sufficient to try to save 1T.
The loyalty of the people Of Keokuk
is asked for this institution. especial
ly among it's present customers. They
are asked not to forsake the concern
in its present plight. but to stick to It,
and thew are assured that the assocte-
ton will do everything in It's power 70
bring matters to satisfactory con-
clusion.
When the concern found that It was
in financial trouble the aid OF the IN
dustrfal association was asked. The
situation was canvassed and the ad-
visibility Of retaining local 1nstltu-
ton rather than closing 1t and al
lowing foreign competition to enter,
was decided on. The association has
arranged to take care of its business
affairs until something can be done.
for it feels that the retention OF a
growing concern is really as import
ant as the bringing in OF . new In
dustry.
The association officers, I'm an ad-
yerttsement in this issue, are explain
ing their stand and asking Tor the
loyalty Of the local people In the
matter.
