CHICAGO GRAIN MARkET.
Suggestions Of Prolonged Bostilities Again
Sends Corn Prices Higher In Pit.

Chicago, July f.-Suggegtions OF pre-
longed hostilities Instead OF fresh indtca-
tions of peace, turned the corn market up
ward today and brought about sharp gains.
Prices closed firm, 4 m4kc net higher with
September at Si.60 and December at Si.13b
dii3%. Wheat finished steady, 2isc off to
Ihe up at S2.07 for July and $f93 for Sep
tember. Oats varied from hc net loss TO
&c advance and provisions closed un-
changed to lie lowt.
Dfsappointment over the failure Of peace
talk to take definite form was evident
throughout the day in the corn market. In
this connection decided majority of trad
ers appeared to believe that selling had been
overdone and that a rally was inevitable
from declines which had carried prices
down more than Isc within a week. Builish
sentiment became more emphatic still when
the fact developed that corn for immediate
use was scarcer than ever and had risen to
s202 bushel for No. 2 white, jump of
&c bushel above the previous topmost rec
ord value. Cold, wet weather In Illinois and
other important states formed an additional
stimulus to buyers, despite official predic-
tions Of change to warmer temperatures
and to more sunshine.
IrreRularity OF fluctuations was the most
noticeable feature Of the wheat market The
September option sagged under selling by
houses with eastern connections. Reports OF
progress at Washington toward general sup
port of the food control bill were surmised
TO have had considerable to do with the
selling. The July delivery was unaffected
by Washington advices and seemed to act
In sympathy with the strength of corn.
Despite rains that interefered with har-
vesting In parts Of the Ohio valley. oats
parted company with the corn market and
underwent a setback In price. Aggressive
selling on the part OF leading houses was
ascribed TO favorable reports regarding the
oats crop as whole.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened pro-
visions. The market was also depressed by
talk of important increases of the domestic
stock OF lard.

A TRUE PROPHET

A few weeks ago the News respectfully suggested that a thoro housekeeping was need ed in Flagstaff to rid the county seat of bootleggers whose vio- lations of the law were becom- nig fragrant. Col. Breen of the Sun accordingly frothed at the EcCuth-as it were at the inn putation cast upon his town, and at the menace which such sentiment might prove to his friends behind the "blinds". He said a number of nasty things about the editor of the News and others who favor law enforcement. In reply the News suggested that the house. cleaning was coming in due time despite the ColonePs rage.
 That the News is a true prophet is attested by the fact that this week, thirteen Flag staff men charged with infrac- tions upon the prohibitory law, were summoned before the Su- perior Court, and that an enor- nous amount of booze was talk en and confscated. The evi- dence against most of those ar rested is positive and many convictions are sure to result. The outcome proves that the News was right in suspecting that bars were being run in Flagstaff, with only a few de- vices to screen them from the public eye.
 While passing it may prove interesting to again call to mind a few of the charges the editor of the Sun made during
Williams news., 1917-04-05
his Wrathful Outburst.

his wrathful outburst.
 The Sun remarked that a man who would steal a red hot stove was in no position to crit icize the evils of the liquor traf- fic. On the contrary, the News would suppose that any man who had imbibed freely enough to attempt the rash feat of stealing a red hot stove, would have every reason to criticise the evil ways of John Barley corn.
 Again the Sun remarked that Williams would better clean her own skirts before making uncomplimentary remarks con- corning her sister town. This weeks court news throws a lit- tie light pon that matter. The county was thoroly secured for law violators and fourteen ar rests were made on charge of disregarding the dry law. One of these was from Williams, the others in Flagstaff. Yes, the people of Williams should buck up and insist upon a more rigid enforcement of the law; and as for Flagstaff-well, the News has confidence that the county officials mean business and that the law is going to be enforced there, from now on, a: it ought to be.

with great care in exercis- ing it's choice. Efficiency and harmony are absolutely essen tial to a good school. The trustees have been chosen to select the teaching staff, among other duties, and the choice must be left to them. With the instructors chosen, the patrons should get solidly behind the Board and the teachers and work for and insist upon har- mony in the school.
 If Williams is to have a really good school, the school must show the imprint of some strong man at the head, and no principal can leave such an imprint effectively unless he has charge of the school for a number of years in succession. The trustees realize this as fully as anyone, and it is with such an object in view that they are now casting about for next years principal. But the school board cannot do it all. They must have the patrons of the school back of them, and the patrons of the school must re- solve that they will lay aside petty differences and work for solid school harmony, and sup port the board and the teach CTS in the administration of the school.
 Of the past, little need be said. No fair minded person can doubt that the Williams Public Schools have had too many and rapid changes in the management of the school, for the highest grade of efficiency in school work. It would be a very difficult task to deter mine just where the blame lies, and not worth the effort. None can doubt that this un- fortunate precedent needs to be broken, and now is the time for all to unite to break it.
 Let all unite to make next years school the best on rec ord and insist upon perfect har- mony in the school. Let us build up reputation for the Williams school, that will not only keep Williams people in Williams but that will bring in pupils from the surrounding country, as well.

OUR DUTY IS PLAIN

It IS now the plaln QuCy or every American citizen whether deriving that citizen ship thru birth or by naturali- zation-to support President Wilson in the present national crisis. As the acting head of our great government, Presi- dent Wilson has evinced a pas sion for peace entirely fitting in a popular and enlightened nation; and he has exercised a tolerance and a forebearance as noble as they have proven useless against an unreasoning foe. At last but two possible courses have been left open to the United States government: That of weakly submitting to the tyranny and barbarism of Germany turned upon our selves; and that of defending our rights and liberties, and arms. President Wilson has chosen the only course open to a brave and a free people-the same course so nobly chosen by our fathers and our fore fathers in similar crices in the past-that of offering our life blood as a sacrifice for the pres ervation of the rights, liberties, and national intergrity of our country.
 President Wilson in his ad- dress before Congress, with a directness and a forcefulness that will cause this utterance to go down in the history of our nation as one of the great mas terpieces of our presidents, pointed out how the inhuman and unprincipled German gov ernment-not the German peo- ple-has ruthlessly violated ev- cry principle laid down in in ternational law, making war upon helpless women and children; sinking neutral ships without a care for the lives of the neutrals on board; wanton- ly torpedoing hospital ships and Belgian relief ships; and finally intriguing to turn the hithertofore friendly Latin na- tions of America upon us; and filling our own nation, while yet at peace with Germany, with spies and agents of sedi- ton, to instigate traitorous movements and plots within our borders, and to plan and at tempt the demoralization of our industrial life, and the de- struction of our national de- lenses.
 In consideration of these wrongs and unfriendly acts, President Wilson asserted, in his address, that the German government has already assum- ed an unfriendly attitude to- ward the United States. Ac- cordingly he asked Congress to declare that state of war now exists, and to pass appropriate legislation for waging effective war upon our national enemy. Congress has upheld the Presi- dent and it now remains for all true Americans to rally to the flag and help prosecute a courageous and victorious war against the enemy of our coun- try and the foe of humanity.

to Alexandria one hundred thousand
barrels OF flour. Produce of all KINDS
was transported, the principal being
tobacco, flour, wheat, dry hides, cured
meats, whiskey. The latter was large
item as there was no tax on it and it
sold from SOC TO 40c per gallon in the
German settlements of Loudoun county.
There We're eight still houses in q
radius Of one hundred and fifty miles.
Two of these canals constructed by
the Potomac Company over one hun
dred and twenty-five years ago have
been in use ever since. When the COM
pany was absorbed by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, the canal at Harper ;
Ferry and the one on the Shenandoah
river were both used to run flour mills.
Later the one at Harper's Ferry was
used in the manufacture of the Harper S
Ferry Musket and at the same time the
one on the Shenandoah river was used
in the manufacture of the Halls Rifle,
and today, 1917, is used to run wood
pulp mill.
The Potomac Company was not a
financial success as but one dividend
was ever declared, neither has the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal been a
profitable enterprise, yet both were
forerunners to railroads that have been
largely successful. 1t is believed that
the Potomac Company blazed the way
for the invention of the steamboat as it
was at Shepherdstown on the Potomac
river September 1884. that Rumsey
gave public exhibition on the steam
boat. That was twenty years before
Fulton ran his boat on the Hudson.
