The Markets
CORN HIGHER ON
WEATHER news

Chicago. Jan. 26. - Unfavorable
weather for the crop movement put
the corn market today on the up
grade. Receipts here were again
small, and there was no Likelihood OF
any immediate betterment in the face
of a blizzard coming from the west.
Demand, however, was not of an ag-
gressive sort. Opening prices. which
ranged from the same as yesterday s
finish to &c higher, with March
SI.26% and May S1.25 20 &l.26A, We're
followed by a moderate further al
vance.
ords for the season. The market was
almost bare of offerings. After open
ing - TO q c higher, with May at IS u
TO 79h, prices continued to ascend.
Lack OF selling pressure caused an
advance in provisions. Lower quo
tatious on hogs were ignored.

HOME GUARD BILL
IN THE SENATE.
A workable home guard bill has
been reported I'm the senate by the
military affairs committee. 1t is a
redraft of s. B. No. /, introduced by
Senator Englund.
The bill. as it now stands, legal
ICES the home guard units already
organized In the state, and places
them under the command OF the
governor. but makes provision that
no home guard men shall he called
for service outside Of the county in
which it is organized. Eniistments
will be accepted of boys and men
over rs years of age.
The senate draft meets objec-
tions that have been raised TO plac-
ing the entire home guard organfza-
ton under command Of the COVER
nor in such manner as to permit
their being ordered into service at
points far removed from their homes.
The Nonpartisan caucus bill franz
ed to meet the general demand for
home guard recognition creates an
active militia to consist of such mill
tary units and organizations as the
governor may from time to time au-
thorize to be formed.
The Nonpartisan bill doesn't give
the home guard units, over 300 of
which ar now organized, an oppor
tunity to attain the kind Of recog
milton the friends Of the plan insist
they are entitled to.
The militia as contemplated by
the league measure would be COM
posed of volunteers, enrolled organ
lied, armed, paid and disciplined as
the governor may direct, and the
governor is given the power to in
corporate within the militia the
several home guards that now exist
or may hereafter exist in the state
which in his discretion are properly
armed and equipped to perform
military duties. 1t is further provid-
ed that, insofar as the governor shall
deem it expedient, such militia shall
be organized in accordance with the
laws governing the regular army
and the regulations thereof issued
by the secretary of war.
Commissioned officers of the ac-
tive militia would include only those
men who had had two years mill |
tary training in the regular army or
national guard; graduates of coll
leges or universities where military
science was taught under super
vision Of a regular army officer; |
those having completed a course in |
the federal officers training camp. |
II is contended that the require
ments laid down for the officers and |
the other requirements with respect
to the guard units, would operate to
throw out the entire present home
guard organization in the state. Il |
IS to meet the condition existing in
the state with respect to the home
guard units that the senate has re-
drafted Senator Englund's bill.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
r. VEeWuwEm

Chicago Jan. 26.-Corn has risen fn
value this week, forced upward large
ly by the fact that the crop movement
although improved did not become as
brisk as a majority OF ira ders had
expected. Compared with a week ago.
the market this morning was u to ID
cent higher. Oats showed gains az
u to 2h cents. The result in proyi-
slons varied from 47c decline to a rise
Despite evidence of material prog
ress in clearing up railroad conges-
tton, hope OF liberal arrivals OF corn
gave way 10 disappointment after
Monday and Tuesday. Severe winter
conditions curbed the activities OF the
railroads. Gradual tightening of the
market led to an order for complete
stoppage of trade in the January de-
livery an1 for settlements instead at
the maximum price limit SI2s a
bushel. Peace talk counted only at
intervals as a bearish factor.
Liberal sales to the seaboard, to-
gether with meagerness Of supplies,
lifted oats above all previous hiEn
price records this season.
Big supplies OF hogs made provi-
sions average lower. Eastern shipping
difficulties operated also against any
general Strengthening Of values.

ENGLAND NEVER

Continued from page 1.)

more peoples side with the entente
there are over two dozen of them al
ready-the more difficult Ii will be to
resume commercial relations. A
copious mass OF hatred and bitter
ness is being stored up against US,
as q result of certain concomitants
OF the war, not only in enemy coun-
tries, but also among neutrals. Our
merchants abroad will have to suf-
fer for the manifold sins of circles
which need not now be particular
ized.
1t is necessary also to combat the
erroneous view that previous to the
war the English hampered our world
economic activities. The statistics
are sufficient to prove the contrary.
Compare, for instance, the following
figures:
German Imports into British India.
1900 ............ 56.s million marks
1918 ............150 million marks
Into British Africa.
1900 .......... 90 million marks
1918 ...........22 229 million marks
Into Egypt.
1910 .,.s....... 1871 million marks
1918 ............11S.4 million marks
These figures show that the Eng
lish placed no obstacles in the way
of our steaS3y increasing trade with
the countries under their control.

Slick Howard, representative
from Georgia, spins a yarn about
two negroes down in his country, a
crap game and . watch.
The first gentleman OF color won
a handsome gold plated watch. chain
and charm in a crap game. He could
not tell the time, but was proud OF
his winnings; so he draped the chain
from his coat lapel, placed the watch
in his upper outside coat pocket ana
started gayly up the street.
Soon he met q second negro, VINO
also could not tell the time, but was
Immediately attracted by the bright
chain on his friends coat lapel.
why, hello dere, SAM" he said.
'"Whah you git dot fine watch?"
"Oh, I win ii in a crap game was
the reply.
, pats fine" resumed the first
negro. What time is it?"
With just a seconds hesitation the
owner of the watch Topped 1t out OF
his pocket, face upward, under his
friends nose.
"Deah it is" he said.
Nonplused, the negro gazed fixedly
at the face Of the watch for a mo-
ment, and then, grinning, said:
so it is, aint it,"

petitions OF candidates.
Representative Reishus charged
that his bills were being killed FOR
political purposes, and Chairman
Hagan of the elections committee,
and representative Patterson, re-
sponded, insisting that was not the
case.
Representatives Moen of Adams,
OAConnbr Of Grand Forks, and Ten
neson Of Cass, pleading for the en-
actment Of a workable measure
whereby the soldiers might vote, in
sisted their belief that the proper
method would be the amendment Of
the absent voter law.
Mr.. Moen contended that the com
mission plan was cumbersome and
imperative, and would serve to dis
franchise many soldiers scattered
over the world, whereas the absent
voter act permitted all to participate
by making application for ballots.
Representative OAConnor quoted
Adjutant General Fraser to the ef-
feet that 10000 North Dakota men
would be in he service on the next
election day. and he insisted that
this assembly would most certainly
lay itself open to criticismv if, in
response to Governor FTazier's proc
lamation that it give attention to
war measures. 1t didn't pass a sol
dier ballot act.
Representative Lathrop declared
his belief that every member of the
house wanted a workable law, and
he didn't believe SUFFICIENT time had
been given to the consideration Of
the subject.
eRpreeentative Walter Maddox. a
league man, accepted the proposition
that insufficient time had been af-
forded, saying that bills We're not on
the desk, and members therefore not
qualified to act on the subject.
AS a result, all three bills were re-
referred TO the committee. and the
question was made a special order
FOR 10 o'clock this morning.
When the soldier ballot PROPOSE
tion was first discussed in the Non
partisan caucus, Il was decided not
TO submit any bill on the question.
There came such an inslstent de-
nand. however, for action, that thel

, to the senate today, win enlarge the
powers Of the grain inspector, but
there appears a division Of sentt-
ments even among the league mem
bers OF the senate, on the question
Of taking the department away from
the railroad board. The task of
drafting amendments was dele
gated to subcommittee of the gen.
eral committee, of which Senator
Wexford OF Pembina county is a
member.
Some time ago certain features Of
the grain grading bill were attacked
In the courts, but the supreme court
upheld the constitutionality Of the
act. At the present time it is con-
tended that the grounds are being
laid for new attack in the courts,
this time at the appointment OF a
deputy chief inspector.
It appears that in appointing DR..
u. F. L.add, president OF the Agricul-
tural college, to the position, the
railroad board necessarily had to ap-
point another officer to do all the
work. DR.. Ladd was unable to de-
vote any time to the administration
of the department, and ]. A. Nc
Govern was appointed deputy chief
inspector, and he signs all orders,
reports, ETC., relative to the office.
Mr.. MCGovern has contended that
the present system is cumberson,
and he believes the inspector should
be given greater powers. At the
present time, in cases where revoka-
ton OF licenses is sought, final action
lies with the railroad commission.
The amendment that seems likely to
meet with favorable consideration in
H. e
tors powers in the matter of revok-
ing licenses, with the power OF re-
view or appeal to the rail board be-
ing retained.
In the resolutions adopted by the
Tri-state Grain Growers association
at Fargo last week, the removal oil
the department was requested. Mr..
Johnson contends that the resolu- |
tiUn's purport wasn't understood orl
the presence of the request even
known to one out OF 100 delegates to |
the convention.
INVESTIGATION REPORTS
GIVEN LITTLE cREDENCE.
Reports OF proposed investigationt |
OF state departments by the legis-
lature still persist in Bismarck, butt
they are given little credence byI
those in close touch with the situa-
tion.
he proposed investigations run to
about every department in the CAPT
tai building, but more particularly
relate to the office of the secretary
Of state, the state treasurer, the state
auditor and the attorney general.
The Nonpartisan league members
are not generally looked upon as
likely to begin any proceedings with
respect to Investigations, as most OF
the officials in question were elected
on the leagues ticket.
