SCARCITY CAUSES
PRICES TO JUMP

CHICAGO, March 4.-Scarcity Of
good grades of corn had strength
ening effect today on the market for
that cereal. So too did assertions
that with a normal spring no corn
would them be busy with field work.
The prevailing warm moist weather
was regarded also as likely to restrict
the crop movement. After opening
unchanged at 1927 May. the market
scored slight advance.
Signs Of export demand at st. Louis
tended to strengthen the oats market
Buying here, however. was only of a
scattered character. Opening prices,
which ranged the same as Saturdays
finish to is higher, with May 81 5-8
to 81 3-4, were followed by moderate
upturn.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
provisions. The chief setback was in
pork.

This Is a distinct addition to the

County Food Administrator Gilbert

Barnard that meatless orders have
been modified.
Beginning this week there will be
only one meatless day. that to be
Tuesday. and only pork and beef will
be under the ban on that day. The re-
strictions on use of mutton and lamb
have been lifted until April 10.
The new rule abo]ishes so-called
"Porkless Saturdays" and meatless
meals other than on Tuesday.
The change is effective for an in
definite period, which probably will be
three months
Gilbert explained the lifting of the
meat bans was designed to help re-

What They Think
OF Peace Note

IN L0ND0N-The allied attitude in
shaping any reply is to be that
Austro-G German acts, rather than
words and proposals, are necessary
before there can be any real con-
sideration Of peace.
IN PARASITIC press regards the
Austrian proposals as insincerc
maneuvers which originated in
Germany. It is held that no peace
requirements are met by the note
IN BERLIN Newspapers do not be.
lieve any practical possibilities are
offered by the note, contenting
themselves by saying, the world
will know now who prolongs the
war and who wants to give the
world peace"

ints Bolshevik
Will Seek Alliance
With Other Powers

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 17.-Hints
that the bolshevik government Of
Russia may seek alliances with other
powers are contained in a note ad-
dressed to the peoples commissaries
and soviets by Nikolai Lenine, the
bolshevik premier, printed in the
Pravda Of Petrograd and republished
in the Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin. The
note reads:
"The position on the Czecho-
Slovak front is becoming more dam
gerous daily. We are daily becoming
increasingly aware that alone we are
powerless. For the soviet govern
ment there is only one way out,
namely, to conclude defensive and
offensive alliance with another power.
II norder to save the power Of
the workers and peasants, we must
not even recoil from an alliance with
the imperialists."
