Among all our naval officers, and
indeed among all our military men,
whether of the navy or of the army,
Admiral Dewey was easily pre-emi-
nent, both in point of service and in
point of popular esteem. Nor does his
distinction lessen much ii his feats
and fame be brought into compari-
son with those Of older heroes whose
services to the nation make the re-
membered chapters Of forgotten his
tory. But two men besides himself
have attained to the rank Of admiral
in our navy, and the rarity of that
honor no more than measures the
claim which Admiral Dewey had es-
tablished to the admiration and af-
lection of his country. He served it
in many stations throughout sixty
two years with devotion that
amounted to a passion, with an intel
Iigence, an efficiency and a gallantry
that have been excelled no where
and in no time.

HIGH BINDER TWINE.

Binder Irvine will be excessive high
the coming season unless something
happens to prevent it. The Yucatan
Fiber Commission controls the sisal
supply of ucatan. 1t is estimated the
increased price it has alreday exacted
will cost the American farmers $19,-
900, 200 in 1917. IN the short time
hearings have been in progress to de-
termine the best method OF dealing
with the situation the price has adj
vanced from Z rs to IA Il cents at
New York.
The Yucatan monopoly is backed
by the government. 1t seems to be be-
yond the power Of the United States
government to deal with it. But there
is one organization that it is thought
can be dealt with and that is one
formed in New Orleans to furnish
funds for the Yucatan commission. 1t
is called the Pan-AmeriCan Commits
sion Corporation and is TO extend a
credit up to $40, 900 to the Yucca
tan commission over a period of five
years. 1t is to receive from 4 e to 6
per cent interest. But in addition it is
to get a brokerage commission Of
lip q cents a bale on sisal. at least
100000 bales a year, which is $780,
coo year in addition to interest. 1t
is thought that these American bank
ers who are financing the monopoly
in Yucatan may be reached.
The average cost of SiSal for 5
years has been 5 "a cents per pound
in New York Now is is almost three
times as much.

FAREWELL, LOW PRICED CORN.

Those who have been expecting re-
dictionary markets after the close OF
the war are more likely to be deceiiv-
ed in the case of corn than in the
whole or in part, as human food.
Corn has established itself as an
independent factor. In the future
it may go up and down the scale
with wheat, but the influence OF the
superior grain will be. more. appar-
ing demand in Europe, possibly, as a
substitute for wheat, more probably
on its own account.
A comparison by markets will
prove instructive. Comparatively,
corn is held in higher esteem in
LiyerPool than r., in Ghicago ,; On Ell Fri
for corn in Chicago was SO Il cents
and the highest price paid for wheat
was 1927 or exactly twice as
much. On the same date the high
est price paid for. wheat in Liver,
Pool vas $2 5ce 25 a Per d
1912 3-5 per bushel. In Chicago
corn was worth SO per cent of the
wheat price, while in Liverpool
corn was worth rs u per cent of the
wheat price. The Liverpool premi-
American par values. and wheat is
the standard Grain, is 25 per cent.
In other words, had Chicago been
bidding flat with Liverpool on Fri
s1.l5 u. ~ o0 -
The price at Liverpool will most
certainly drop when the restoration
of peace will allow a drop in marine
insurance rates and when the liberia
ton of steamships now interned may
serve to still further reduce freights.
But Liverpool, through force of cir
cumstances has become accustomed
to paying at about $50 for fifty-six
te.sss4s s.>1lg corn and may
still be willing to pay such figure
as will serve to hold western Amer
lean quotations well toward the dol
lar mark. The price of export corn
is more likely to be raised than low
cred, and demand from that direc-
ton may hold domestic prices firm
ly at a high level.
The overworked Argentine story
of competition has fallen flat. Ar
gentine has no corn to compete with
the American product for the more
particular uses. 1t is not cOnsidera-
ton in a market to which both has
access on the same terms when
American corn is wanted. Argentine
does not produce a valuable substi-
tute for the leading crop OF Iowa
Corn may still be cheap at whatever
figure sold but the price is not like
~ to again be low.-Cedar Rapids
