Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila
Bay, the great sea captain, and the
idol of the American people, died at
Washington last week, and was buried
Saturday with all the honors an APP
preciative country could bestow. Ad-
miral Dewey played a conspicuous
part in the civil war under the leader
ship of the great Farragut, but his
browning glory was won at the time
of the sinking of the Spanish fleet in
Manila Bay. Admiral Dewey will take
his place and live in history among
the galaxy of gallant sailors whose
deeds have shed luster upon the Amer
lean navy.

The long end of winter is over and
with the short month of February
ahead people can look for the coming
of spring as being near at hand.
Frequently winter breaks up in Feb
ruary in this country, then again,
older residents have experienced some
pretty tough weather in March. That.
however, is very rare exception, AMI
rather a meteorological freak.

Chicago, April 1e. - Notable ad-
vances marked the first half hour of
trading in wheat futures today. May
rose 734 cents to S240 and July ga
cents to $205Ha. May wheat sold at
$2.43 before the close of the session.
There was a complete recovery on
prices from yesterdays slump 90
casioned by the removal of duty on
Canadian wheat. At Minneapolis the
flour mills were reported swamped by
shipping orders and embarrassed by
inability to get enough cars. Last
week the flour output increased 28,055
barrels as compared with the same
week a year ago. Sales, however,
were made at prices hitherto un-
known. Demand from the larger deal
ers fell off, but that from the family
trade increased.
Purchase of canned goods for sum
mer delivery has pushed up the price
of the new crop, not yet planted, in
some instances 100 per cent. The re-
mainder of last years canning has
risen proportionately. Housewives
have taken fright and are laying in
huge stocks at huge prices.
