MATERIAL DECLINES
IN WHEAT PRICES
DEPEND ON BREAK
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Feb. 14-Material de-
clines in the wheat market resulted to-
day from the unpromising outlook for
an avoidance Of hostilities with Ger
many and because of the absence of
relief from railway congestion. Com
mission houses were generally on the
selling side. Support was limited.
Opening prices, which ranged from %
to &c lower with May at $1.72 to
$1.73M and July at STAT to s1.47A,
were followed by slight rally but
then by a fall further than before.
Corn turned down grade with wheat.
Elevator companies headed the sell
ing. After opening u lower, the mar
ket underwent a moderate additional
set back
Oats followed the descent Of other
cereals. Trade was light.
Weakness developed in provisions
despite firmness of the hog market.
The causes were the same which bear
ishly affected grain.

If the Negro was loyal to this
country when his children we're
being sold on the block to the
highest bidder, when his life would
he bartered for gold and when his
daughter would be prostituted and
raped almost before his eyes, why
should he be disloyal MOVIE
In the early sixties, after more
than two hundred years a slave,
stepped in ignorance, bought and
sold like so many cattle, history
tells us that many fought nobly to
help preserve the Union which we
all are now enjoying, while many
others remained upon their mas
ter's plantation like true and
faithful dog and guarded the mas
ter's wives and daughters, while
the masters were at the front fight
ing to keep them in slavery. If
There Was Ever A Time For The
Negro To Seek Revenge, 1t Was
Surely Then"

DR.. NOEL BERTRAM FORD

Possibly no death ever occurred
in Springfield that occasioned a
greater shock to the entire com.
munity than did the death of DIR.
Noel Bertram Ford on last Satur-
day morning at the st. John Hos
pital. DR.. Ford had the reputa,
ton of being "A hale hearty good
fellow" beloved by all classes, and
by shere force of exceptional abili-
ty had been able to forge his way
to the front as a physician whose
services were sought by members
of both races alike. He always
stood ready to assist in anything
that was for the advancement of
his race, and had world of cheer
and encouragement for all. His
place in society, in the profession
al and in the fraternal circles of
Springfield will be hard to fill.
The bereaved widow and surviv-
ing relatives have the sympathy of
the entire community which feels
keenly the loss of one of its most
valuable citizens.

The NEGRO LOYAL
TO THE COUNTRY

Conscious of the disgraceful
treatment the American Negro has
received from the hands of many
of his white brethren who stand
high in the Councils of the nation.
many are now asking what will be
the attitude of the Negro toward
his country in the event of war
with Germany? There is but one
answer. The American Negro
Will Remain Loyal To All OF The
Interests OF His Country In Case
Of War. The loyalty of the Ne
gro is thing not to be doubted.
One writer has said:
In all of Americas war, dur
ing slavery and after slavery the
men of the Negro race have shown
their loyalty to the country in no
uncertain tone; for when ANY
man, be he white or black is patri-
otto enough to give his Iife's blood
for his country, knowing at the
same time that he is not treated as
other men, can any sane person
doubt bis loyaltyi

SOLDIERS DAY AT THE
CULTURE CLUB.

AIUef SpeDulu report nad Oeen
made of the celebration of Sol
diers' Day at the Union Baptist
Church Sunday before last the
editor was chagrined to find his
leader had been left out by the
compositor. If there is any one
thing that newspaper should
know above another it is the val
ue of a news article, and it will al
ways be the aim of The FORUM
to attach the proper Importance
70 the value of each Jews item ap-
bearing in its columns. We regret
hat report of a meeting of such
general interest to the public as
was Soldiers Day was left out
and notwith standing the fact the
Celebration occurred Sunday be-
fore last, we feel justified in Civ
ing to our readers a report of the
same.
A SPLENDID PROGRAM.
The program of the afternoon
was profoundly interesting and in
spring. President Miles very
6ytingly welcomed the Soldiers
and then introduced the president
of the program committee. Mr.. r.
?. Taylor, who explained the pur-
pose of the meeting. DR.. Manu-
ell gave pointed Spiritual talk"

Worsham gave a very creditable
reading of 'The Black Horse and
its Rider" afterwhich Major G.
w. Ford was introduced and de-
livered the principal address of
the afternoon. He reviewed many
incidents of personal bravery on
the part of Colored Soldiers from
the time of Crispus Attacks to
the hero of Carrizal fame, and
with masterful eloquent paid
just tribute to the heroism, val
or and worth OF the Negro u
soldier. After reciting case after
case in which the CoIored
Soldier had distinguished himself
by shere merits and undaunted
courage, the speaker tLen
exclaimed with emphasis THE
Negro has fought everybody's
battles but his own, when it comes
to fighting his own battles He
is a pusilanimous coward.n

Noble and Veteran Sappington.
made feeling addresses recounting
their experiences in war as SOL
diers. Inadvertently some re-
mark was made by one of the
speakers with reference to the
American Flag that was not in
harmony with the highest loyalty
due, which called forth an excori
alton from Maj. o. B. Duncan who
gave an exhibition of true loyalty
not inspired by mere oratory.
Major Duncan has but few equals
