WHEAT PRICES JUMP up

culties Causes Rise in
Chicago Pit.

Chicago. Feb. 15.--Wheat jumped
up today largely as n result of asser-
tions that British ships would load
grain in preference TO cotton and that
the Netherlands government had been
successful in solving difficulties which
had bronght to q standstill all Dncth
traffic with the United states. The
market closed strong, rs to "a net

and July at $1.49A Ml.49la. Corn
gained Is to l and oats to ! 4 al q.
In provisions the outcome was the
same as yesterdays finish to 10
lower
Nearly cents advance from the
lowest prices Of the day in wheat
took place before the session ended
A portion of the strength which de-
veloped during the late trading was
generally ascribed to reports that the
British government was asking for
offers on about 1,750.000 bushels of
wheat on the Pacific coast.
Corn derived strength from wheat.
Oats showed Independent firmness
owing chiefly to assertions that the
United States government had pur-
chased 100000 bushels for shipment
to FL Paso. Provisions averaged
lower. Weakness in the hog market
was largely responsible.

In New England, railroad men say
there is u threatened shortage of

At today's meeting it was decided to
move two trainloads of 80 cars each
east from Minneapolis daily, one laden
with wheat for New England and the
other carrying flour to New England
and the three cities named.
The two daily trainloads sor whca,

RED CROSS SUPPLIES
SCARCE AT THE FRONT
Every Woman Urged To Do
Her Bit

A gentleman from Baltimore is
quoted as saying that Delaware
has the most efficient Red Cross
chapter in the country. The fair
ness of this generous admission
will scarcely be questioned when
it is announced that little Seaford
has already furnished 364 pairs of
pajamas, Milford and Odessa are
working hard, and Middletown has
asked for 1000 yards of material.
The Newark branch, under the
Craftsmanship of Mrs. Charles B.
Evans, is planning to devote the
entire summer to the preparation
of bandages.
This resolution was adopted fol-
lowing news from Europe of the
great need of proper supplies in
the battlefield hospitals. 1t is said
that it has been necessary to use
newspapers there for bandages.
To relieve this stress every work
err on surgical dressings and ban
dages is working every available
minute in order to rush off extra
supplies. The articles prepared,
whether garments or dressings,
are forwarded upon completion to
the Red Cross Supply Service in
New York and from there distrib-
uted. An extra feather in Della
wares cap is that she has already
sent away 25 cases over and above
her allotted unit.
In response to the call made last
week from Washington through
General Bird, chairman, and Miss
Emily P. Bissell, secretary for
workers, one branch of 20 ladies
has already been formed at West
minister Church, and other church.
es are planning to follow this good
example. The cry is System, sys-
tenn. system" for it is recognized
that only by careful attention to
system can good and quick results
be achieved. The Americans al
ready have 6 base hospitals on the
European battlefields and during
the week just passed have taken

Edward w. Manlove, a we'll
known farmer, died on Wednesday
at his home three miles north of
Middletown, of paralysis, aged &c
years. His wife and six daughters
survive him. His funeral was held
on Friday with interment in For
est Cemetery, Middletown.
Clerk of the Peace Wright, Of
New Castle County, reports that
thirty one clerks of rural school
boards have failed to notify him
of the results of school elections
and as a consequence these dis
tricts may lose their State appro-
priation for this year. The neg
ligent officials are liable to fines
of $50 each and it may be neces-
sary to hold a new election in each
district.
Morris Steinberg, a nephew of
Mark Levy, of Laurel, has received
the Victoria Cross, an honor high
ly priced by all British soldiers.
He crawled beyond the firing line
during one of the battles in France
and carried a wounded lieutenant
of his company to safety on his
back. Besides the cross he was
awarded a weekly allowance of SIS.
Mr.. Levy has four nephews on the
battle front in France.
The Wilmington Police Commits
sion and the City Council have
reached an agreement as to pay of
patrolmen. All appointed prior to
January l last, will receive $1,000

and to be appointed hereafter will
be paid $50 per month and graded
for four years up to the $1,000
limit.

Not on the eagle golden
Will we behold his face,
Nor yet on cleaning silver
The honored features trace;
But to the common copper,
The lowly coin, instead,
Has fallen the distinction
Of bearing Linsoln's head.

Those noble outlines grasp,
But childhood's chubby fingers
The image oft will clasp;
The poor man will esteem it,
And mothers hold it dear

He loved when he was here.

Portsmouth had been a happily Sc

Its seclusion. To many Of its inhab-

ton was thousands Of miles distant in
effect, although only SO miles away by
geographic measurement. Their Ports

and the invasion of railroad with it's

Source Of Profit to Teachers.

The winter concerts given by the
foremost music teachers Of Tokyo,
manly, singing, koto (harp). samisen
(three-stringed guitar) or dancing
teachers, are great social occasions,
says East and West. The pupils, all
girls, are the performers. For this dsy
In the teachers house the screens (fu-
suma and shojD are removed to turn
the available rooms into n large hall
and a raised platform Is improvised in
the studio to accommodate half dozen
or more musicians and instruments. In
one corner are piled up little souvenirs
sweets, fruits, fancy napkins or
fancy food-presented by the pupils
and to be distributed among those
present. The rest of the house is oc-
cupied by the pupils, present and past,
their mothers and sisters, the teachers
friends and relatives.
Such public rehearsal begins in the
morning; luncheon is furnished by the
teacher or hostess and the professional
friends who accompany the pupils stay
to dinner after the rehearsal Is over. A
girl who sings or plays once during the
day pays at least one yen for the honor
OF showing her attainment, but her
grownup relatives as audience do like
wise to contribute to the teachers ex-
penses. The latter's colleagues who
accompany the girl on koto, samisen
or kokyu receive gratuities from the
pupil in question which range between
one yen and fifty yen, according to the
Importance Of the parts they take. Sup
posing there are twenty girls to play
during the day, those music teachers
being skilled in two or three instru-
ments, their parts are so arranged that
the days proceeds are about equal
Mothers, sisters, aunts, friends and all
enjoy the occasion highly.
