BRITISH EFFORTS
BOOST UP PRICES

Chicago. Feb. 2S.-Reports OF ex- *
traordinary endeavors by the BRUSH
government to facilitate shipments
led to material advances today IN the
value of wheat. Although unsettieo
at the close, the market showed gains
Of 3 1-S to 8 5-Sc net, with May AT
$1.S1 Ia to $1.S1 S-S. and July at 81.
"a 1-2 to s1.54 ga. Corn gained !
3-8 to / 1-2; oats 3-8 to l-2c, anu
provisions SIC to $1.02.
Prospects of an increased supply OF
railway cars here tended further to
lift prices. The theory was that the
annulment of orders to send 500 cars
week to Minneapolis would substan-
TALLY enlarge the number available
for shipments from Chicago. Abnor.
mally dry weather in the southwest
was a handicap to the bears.
Corn derived firmness from wheat
and from the notable advance Of the
hog market. Oats hardened with 9TH
er grain. Provisions scared to new
high quotations, and closed at nearly
the topmost level reached. Upward
jumps in the value of hogs had much
to do with stimulating demand.

Keller Defeats Zcspy
Young Keller Of East Grand Forks,
outpointed Ad Zespy of Grand Forks,
in four out Of five rounds in the semi
windup. The third round was even.
Keller was outweighed. hut his skill
kept the west slider guessing. Zespy
has a punch in both mitts that has
no little poundage, but during the en-
tire bout he only landed a few within
the vicinity OF Keller's head. Keller
accepted each with a glove or side
stepped while he tapped a lab to his
opponents nasal adornment. Zespy
is conner in ring circles. He started
boxing but few months ago. and he
is now the most promising pugilist in
the embryo stage in either city. He is
aggressive and fast. with punch that
is hard to take. AS far as being whip
ped last night is concerned, there
was nothing to it. Keller's jab didn't
phase him, although he took many
of them. His endurance was not as
good as Keller's, but he did not spend
the time in preparation that the East
Slider did.
Deitz Brothers Draw.
Joe and Bun Deitz travelled over
four rounds Of f1stdom as the opening
number OF the entertainment. Both
lads worked we'll and were mixing
every moment they were in the ring.
Joe DeitZ put over the most blows and
was by far the fastest. but his big
brother accepted each punch noncha-
lantly and held up his jaw for anoth-
er. Punches alghting from the end
Of "haymakers'' We're greeted with
grins. AS usual the Deitz brothers
satisfied the fans
Negroes Battle.
Jack Collier and Roy Mason. two
colored boys. added excitement to the
fracas for five rounds. Collier show
ed great improvement since his last
appearance before the public and he
had a shade the better of the deal.
Mason is hard fighter and can ac-
cept lots Of abuse, as he proved last
night. He finished up strong and was
outpointing Collier at the end of the
fifth. His endurance was far better
than that Of his opponent.
Odbcr is Third Man.
Jim Odber was the third man in the
ring for every bout and his work was
satisfactory in every respect In
breaking clnches he checked his
share of punches. but he upheld his
reputation for liking them. Dad
Hayes acted as master of ceremonies,
and kept the crowd in fine order. The
house was we'll packed.

2 Drops, and the Corn is a "Goner!."
When you've got to walk on the
sides Of your shoe to get away from
those awful corn-pains, there's only
one common-sense thing to do. Put
or drops of "Gets-It' on the corn
right away. Pain and Inflammation
will disappear. the corn will begin to
shrivel from that instant-then It
loosens and falls right off.
There's no other corn-rem over in
the world that acts like "Gets-It." No
new discovery has been made in corn
removers since "Gets-It" was born.
Don't forget that, fact. "Gets-It' does
away forever with the use Of salves
that irritate. bandages that make a
bundle of your toe, plasters that half
do the work, knives and scissors that
draw blood. Use "Gets-It"-no more

WHEAT GOES UP
ANOTHER CENT

Minneapolis, March MAY wheat
5-Sc higher, July wheat SAC higher
September wheat Sac higher.
The wheat market has ruled strong
today with part of the advance lost
before the market finished. May
wheat was little easier at the start
but quickly commenced to firm up and
the bulge was not checked until May
had climbed to $1.86 Ia.
The political news was sensational
but the market held firm in spite OF
this. Buyers were more aggressive
than has been the case of late.
Those who believe in higher prices
point out the fact that farm reserves
are low and country elevator stocks
are light. Cash premiums hold ex.

MARKET NEWS

Brokers who have inquiries as to
speculative accounts in Wall street re-
port that holdings of long stocks are
from 40 to 60 per cent less than be-
fore the big liqudating movement be-
gan. in December. They say the pub
| lie has added little to it's ownership
of stocks since that wave of selling
reached its climax and that nearly all
the trading being done has its origin
in the street.
The stocks which are being held on
margins are strongly bulworked and
the owners had been fearful of fur
ther declines resultant from Interna-
tional developments, it is argued,
they would have let go long ago. This
brings up market stability and stocks
dumped over in war talk smash.

refer to numerous crop damages.
The situation in grain is becoming
stronger each day. The worlds crop
was short and an actual scarcity will
show before June. Buy on all weak

A more bullish feeling prevailed in
| the grain trade yesterday, especially
in wheat. While political conditions
had considerable to do with the nerv-
BUSINESS, it was noticeable that their
influence was less. Supply and de-
mard conditions are being given more
serious consideration. Coarse grains,
while they have a few friends. are not
regarded as being in as bullish po-
sition as wheat. With the wheat
market advancing. there is less dis
position to sell coarse grains short

Sir: / substantially agree with W.
who would do something" and not
talk so much. 1t is encouraging to
find a young man like Mr.. Moir grown
big enough and independent enough to
get out of the old rut. While there
are far too many shouting their patri'
otism from the house-tops, this young
man does the bravest thing of all. In
open defiance of the "old school, he
points right at the center of the tar,
get and practically says: Put your
shots there"
AL. Castle is faithful and capable
representative of the "old school,
producing acres of writing, reports,
theories, etc., but never a half acre OF
results. If we could feed ourselves
and the Allies on bunk" Hawaii
could take the whole contract and get
away with it and then some.
Mr.. Horner is perfectly right in sug'
costing the construction of railroad
northward from the Volcano House. II
the Hilo Railway Company cannot un'
dertake the project, then there should
be an effort made to induce the fed
eral government to do SO. 1t was done
in Alaska. Why not in Hawaii?
Every progressive citizen of the ter
ritory will say to Mr.. Moir: Aloha
more power to your punch"
