Chicago, July 1S.-The weekly
weather and crop report, confirming
damage to corn in the southwest and
the extremely high prices for cash
corn which reached sensational levels
offset the bearshi feeling Of local trad
ers and caused a sharp upturn in
values. May corn was relatively
heavy, widening out about cent
bushel as compared with the differ
enca between December and May al
last nights close. Runors OF peace
which could not be confirmed caused
quick reaction near the close. out
the reaction was probably due more to
the technical position Of the market
caused by general covering OF shorts
earlier in the day. Prevailing prices
are attracting a moderate increase IN
country sales but the volume o1rereo
is small and easily placed with Ship
pers and industries.
Oats-July oats continued to sho"
competition and were supporting fac
tor in the later deliveries. Country Is
showing no anxiety to contract ne"
oats and meantime the amount OF oats
available IS unequal to the current de-
mand. There is reason therefore. &c
expect at least temporary hrmness.

How to Find Fault.

1t is not difficult 10 find fault,
because there is 81 much of it lying
around That's where the difficulty
comes in. There is no honor or dis
tinction in finding fault that anybody
else can find and everybody else has
found.
II you want to be a success at fant-
finding you must branch out on fresh
lines. use new and ingenious methods
and find fault that has never been
found before Where is the honor in
finding fault with your wifc's biscuits.

WASTED TINE IN COURT.
How II Might Be Saved by Following
the ENGLISH System.

Professor Higgins tells how waste of
time is avoided in English courts aud
suggests that the same practice ought
to he adopted in American courts. 1t
is done by "lcading questions" of
which the following is an example in
an action for personal injuries. where
the fact of the injury is admitted, but
the negligent act denied:
Your name Is John Doe, living at
so and so. You are painter by trade.
and on May l, 1914, you were on the
strand opposite the law courts and
saw the accident when the plaintiff,
was run over by the defendants bus,
and YOU helped TO pick the plaintiff up
and carry him from the roadway
To which the witness answers Yes. y
Now, IN an American court the testi-
mony In that one question and answer
would have been the subject OF at
least eight distinct questions and eight
distinct answers, and in thc hands Of
some lawyers this information would
not have been elected short OF twenty
questions. as: state your name to tie
Jury" Where do you reside What
Is your businessy' Where were you
on MAY ]. 1914. at the hour Of so and
So:' state what accident YOU saw
there, If any, What did you do
then:" And so ON. and so on.
American courts are run in as lei

else on hand except the trial Of the
particular case at bar, whereas usual

WE NEED GOOD ROADS.

The Ontario Commercial club at its meet
ing Monday evening definitely got behind
the movement for better roads i'm Oregon by
endorsing the road bonding bill to be- voted
upon at the special election in June.
This is undoubtedly the most important
measure to go before the people. 1t is an
absolute necessity for the state to have good
roads. The present system is entirely made
quatc. 1t is the most waStcfu Imaginable.
The annual loss to farmers in this state thru
poor primary highways runs into millions of
dollars. a time has come when this loss
should bc stopped.
So far as Mahcur county is couccrucd the
principal roads proposed i'm the bill are the
post roads One of these starts at Bend and
goes to Burns and crosses the entire county.
after connecting with the second road at
Vale This second road starts from Il june
tiou point i'm Gillian or Morrow county with
the Columbia highway and travcrscs the
John Day Valley to Canyon city. crosses
the divide and comes down 10 Vale hy n
route to bc selected by the Highway commits
sion. Thus Malhcur county will be tra-
vcrscd by two post roads uniting at Vale
making possible the development of some
of the best portions of the county. and of inn
mcnsc value to the county as Il whole Not
i'm the entire state is there another county
that will receive the same mileage as Nal
hcur. This county stands to receive more
benefit than amy other county rs the result,
Certainly if there is any section of the state
that should get behind the measure To carry
