MIDWEST AND THE MARINES.

MIDWEST AND THE MARINES.
- -
Tell it to the marines is an old saw that
doesn't go nowadays. The marines are entirely
too smart to be fooled any longer. They are as
clever as the rest of the dough boys and are
highly thought of by all.
The middle west has been taking to the marines
rather handily of late. One would think that the
east, where ships and shipping are at hand in the
coast cities, would develop the greatest liking to
the sea service of the government-naval and ma
rines. But the middle west provides most of the
recruits for both.
II it were not for the fact that midwest vol
unteers for the army also exceed that of the east
one would think it were due to the curiosity of
mid-westerners for the sea; that young fellows like
to go somewhere it is different"
But the liking for the sea in the west cannot
be explained on these grounds. It appears that

/ THE FOOD
- "a IA pa
It has been surprising to the nation that a fight
was made in the senate against the food control
bill.
i If it is true that the nation cannot fight effec-
lively with the present chaotic conditions in the
food marts hanging about it's neck, it seems patant
10 any IedSOHdDle person tndL IL Is imperative that
the food situation be controlled.
The food law will be of vast public benefit, and
will make it tremendously difficult for brazen food
pirates to swell fat and opulent.
These reasons are all-suficient why the bill
should be law.
And there are others-such as winning the
war.
- "a - p - - - -
THE HARVEST.
- - - -
There are two sorts of harvests, the kind they
have in the country and the sort they have in the
city-among the food gamblers fraternity.
Herbert Hoover tells us that somebody has pill
fered SIS a barrel on every barrel of flour sold in the
last five months, and that during that period
$3.50, 900 900 of the peoples money went into pri-
vate pockets.
This is probably true. It is common knowledge
that foodstuffs are much too high in spite of the
shortage.
j. Nothing but the unbridled pocket picking of
INSCRIPTIONS spectators explains it.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AIRPLANES.
- "a "a -
y The government is to have airplanes built and
! sent to France as quickly as they can be construct
ed. Our own men will pilot those planes.
Many a fair young life will be sacrificed in the
q clouds, but for every one who falls to his death
: the lives of a hundred will be saved in the trenches
No saner or more far reaching plan was eve,
devised by our government than the sending OF
= these 100000 planes to the French front. With {
hundred thousand, or fifty thousand, additional
planes in the air the eyes of the German army
will be blinded while ours will still have light.
The rest will be a matter of time, strategy, anC
! nerve.

SLACKERS NOW WINNERS.
Those valient young Willies who deied the gov
eminent and refused to register are now whining
for mercy. They are awaking to the painful fact
that the government was not bluffing, and that in
refusing to register they signed their own Jail SEN
fences.
They find no sympathy from the rest Of the
people, and when they have completed their terms
behind the bars, and then taken by the nape of the
neck and kicked into the trenches, loyal Americans
will approve with a grin from ear to ear.

AS many able and prominent men in all lines
are giving the government volunteer assistance,

finding fault with the way the war is being con-

In refusing to recognize political pull in draft
exemptions, Wilson will doubtless offend a few
politicians, but he will please almost everybody

of the war.

It might not be a bad idea for Wilson to give
noice that he will make public the name of every
politician who tries to get a registered man ex-

Fl Paso, Texas. April IA re- liable American who arrived at the border today from Saltillo said he had heard unverified rumors there of a plan for an uprising on or before May 1, when General Carranza is to be inaugurated president of Mexico This rumored plan, he said. was a part Of general movement to have Obre- gon seize the government and was receiving German financial and moral backins
 He said concentration of large bodie- of de iacto troops in the north in command of generals loyal to Obre. gon rather than Carranza was caus- ing much worry in Mexico City.

 There is no theory of foul D ay in connection with the mystery of the missing man The morning that he left his hotel he gaze his neice his pooketbook, told her what he owed the hotel, and therefore he had noth- ing that could have been an incentive for foul play
 1t was learned that the wife of the missing man had died last summer and that since that time he had been given 10 much grief He had taken to drink, and 1t was to try to he D him in this line that relatives urged that he come here. and a neice came with him to look after him
 The theory that McGraw had taken to the mountains and Killed himself was uppermost among other possibili- ties in the case. Detectives Young and Sul ivan, who have been working on the case, gathered nothing more than that a man of his description had been seen going out Malvern ave nut about the time that he disap- peared. Further trace of the man was lost.
 Several searching parties scored the region O West mountain but found no trace of the missing man.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Quotations by Miller a Co, Members

Chicago, Feb l4-Dutch boats are
preparing to sail from the United States
and they will carry large quantities Of
-four grain and hog products. 1t IS
said that the supply of foodstufTs In
Holland is now small and that vessels
will be loaded at the Eastern sea board
ports as rapidly as supplies Of the COM
modities TO be carried across the ocean
arrive from the West.
Well Informed persons at the East
ern seaboard. in private messages re-
eelved here late tonight, say that un-
certainty regarding the shipments n
foodstuffs for the Belgian relief has
been overcome and instructions will be
given In a day or two for the ship
ments to go forward.
The Belgian. relief shipments were
stopped by order of the British COM
mission. as It was said II was feared
they would fall into the hands of
others than those intended,
According to the opinion Of half a
dozen of the larger grain men on the
Chicago board of trade. as well as that
Of the milling interests here and else
where. the car situation lie worse than
IL was a week ago. II such a thing
were possible.
The trend into the wheat market is
quite uncertain and fluctuations were
OF considerable hreaCth. Resting spots
for the day were at declines of Il a
l-sc The early decline In the May
future was sharp. with tho pressure
coming largely from prominent com
mission interests in which local pro-
fessionals joined with the result that
an oversold condition brought
about.
There were sharp reactions from the
bottom prices, with all classes OF buy
ers In the market The volume OF trade
was larger than for several previous
days. and there was goodly sprink-
ling of outside businsss,
while there were no sales of cash
wheat reported on export account ii
was said foreigners bought cash and
futures Warnings were sent out TO
the trade in wheat by some of the
commission concerns urging that the
people should not become unduly
selling or bear side.
The corn market declined y q lc.
while the oats were unchanged to Ac
lower. The markets were OF a drag
ging character. but the absorption
seemed to be good. with the tone
steadier at the close. 1t was reported
that the Canadian buyers were in the
Minneapolis market for large quantities
of corn.
The provision market was inclined
to follow the price changes in the va
rtous cereals. Cash trade on export
account was fair.
