ELM GROVE VOTES ON
BOND ISSUE TODAY
PROPOSITION INCLUDES $50, 900 FOR
STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND
FIRE APPARATUS.
Need for Equipment and Repairs Gen.
orally Recogntzed.-Town Would
Save Nonsy-other Pike
News.

Elm Grove citizens will vote today on
q bond issue OF $4,000 for proposed
fire equipment &nd street repairs. The
polls. at the town hall. will be open
from Z a.. IN. to p m.
Some opposition has developed in GER
tain quarters. but 1t Is generally be-
lieved the issue will be ratified, as the
need for the proposed improvements Is
apparent. The advantages Of passing
the Issue at this time have been point
cd out. II will be only q question Of
time until 1t will be absolutely neces-
sary TO bond the town for fire equip
ment and street repairs. and the longer
il is delayed the larger Will be the nee
essary sum. At this time the town Will
save brick valued at $1,000. and Offered
by Ohio county commissioners.
Elm Groves present fire fighting ap-
paratus is worse than inadequate and
consists only OF small hand chemical
q reel and some delapidated hose. 1t Is
necessary to call upon Edgwood ALI.
Woodsdale in case of q serious fire, aid
the delay Is often costly. 1t Is pro-
posed to appropriate $4,000 for a mod
ern motor fire truck. hose and other
equipment.
The Issue also provides for funds for
the improvement Of all streets In the
town. The paving will be placed on
concrete foundation. Every section
OF the town will get Its share OF re-
pairs.
The valuation Of the town Is approx
imately $2,o00.000. The proposed Issue
would cost about fifteen cents on the
hundred dollars valuation. and as the
assessed valuation increases this rate
would decrease. 1t Is pointed out that
with modern fire protection the insur-
ance rates will bo decreased ten per
cent, which would pay for tho truck In
less than ten years
Edgwood voters recently authorized
the issuance Of more than 100000 in
bonds for street improvements. Many
persons arc OF the opinion that the Elm
Grove issue should DO larger. also.

New York Cotton.

New York. March 10.-The cotton market showed increasing strength on expectations that thc arming 5f American merchantmen would be followed by larger exports. Liver pool buying here was supposed to De in anticipation of narrowed differ cnces as a result of increased ship ments, while there was covering by shorts and also local trade buying of near months. The market opcne1 firm at an advance of 12Wlo points, with March selling up to lS.0Sc after the cali. or into new high ground for the movement. while May advanced to 17.9ic and October to lG.SIc, or about 11M29 points net higher. In addition to the more optimistic vle& of exports, some of tn" reports pub lishcd with reference to conditions in Germany seemed to create more hopeful feeling with reference to peacc prospects and there appeared to be d broadening commission house demand on the early advance.
 The advance was checked by realizing around 17.95c for May, and after selling 1GM33 points above last night the market closed steady at a net gain of I0m26 poin's.

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, March 10.-Orders to arm American merchant shi,s had mod erately strengthening effect today on wheat prices. News that Great Brit- ain was negotiating for all the wheat in Canada counted also as a bullisn influence. The market, however, had an overbought appearance and there were plenty of offerings on every up turn in quotations. Taken as q whole trading was not heavy and price changes were of a shifting, nervous character, though main y upgrade. Opening figures, which ranged from 3-4@1c higher, with May at $1.SSM1.S9 and u)y at $1.57W 1.57 7-S, were followed by a material recation, but then by fresh rallies.
 Corn hardened with wheat. The market though, was by no means one- sided. After opening 1-4@3-4c higher prices sagged to below yesterdays finish and later rose to about today's initial top levels.
 Action in the oats market duplicat- ed that of corn. Some slight improve mcnt was noted in the shipping de- mand for oats.
 Provisions rose chiefly because of the British government setting a relatively high price on lard at Liz erpool. Besides, the hog market here was at new top record of values.
 Severe wind and dist storms in Kansas resulted later in a more pro- nounced advance in wheat, but rum- ors that Germany was seeking a separate peace with Russia caused weakness in the later dealings. Tho close was unsettled, 1c net lower to 1-2c advance, with May at $1.S6W 1.S65-S and July at $1.56.
 Subsequently, corn prices touched new high record, and then declined as result of wheat weakness. The close was heavy at a loss of 1-S@1-2c net.

SOLDIERS BETTER OFF
 THAN PEOPLE OF P. 8.
Fighters of the Allies Can Step From Trenches to Enjoyment of Opera
 and High Class Vaudeville.

Correspondence Associated Press)
 French Front, Feb. 23.-From the hardships of the dugout and the trench to the restful enjoyment of the theater is now but step for the French soldier. Right behind the front fighting line the best among the French public entertainers-from the opera, the state-subventioned and private theaters and the variety halls greet the soldiers when they come back for their short interval of repose.
 One of the originators of this idea Has Lucien Boyer, perhaps the most widely known Bohemian port of France and now a simple private in the famous Alpine corps. His age did not permit him after his mobiliza- ton to take part ill the actual fight ing, and he was employed on very necessary but dull work in the rear. While doing this he often entertained the men of his company with selec- tions from his songs, and the cheerl- ness of his comrades became sc marked that the attention of the high CT authorities was called to the use fulness of providing entertainment for them. Hundreds of applications from actresses were received asking to be permitted 10 participate in the work.
 The difficulty of allowing women to enter the battle zone was eventually overcome and now several troupes composed of the leading actors and actresses of France are continually On tour among the troops. They visit every rest camp behind the front lines from time to time and some of them including Boyer, have been as far afield as Macedonia.
 None of the performers obtains any emolument for the services given. The women are given free transport to the places where they are to perform and that is all they receive. The men, when they are of military age, receive the pay and rations of the private soldier
 Hundreds of artists volunteer for the work and many of those selected forfeit remunerative engagements in order to serve their country in this way.

 Johnson has II acres of land, and last year planted every foot Of It Tn onions, as is his wont. He has sold from his last crop about $15,O00 worth of the produce and has on hand at the prevailing price, enough to bring him $l ,120 more.
