CORN MARKET

Unfavorable Weather For
Crop Movement Causes
Turn in Prices.

Chicago. Jan. 2e.-Unfavorahle
weather for the crop movement put
the corn market today on the up
grade. Receipts here were aga'n'
small, and there was no likelihood
of any immediate betterment in the,
west. Demand. however. was not Of
aggressive sort. Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as yes
terday's finish to 1-8 cent higher,
with March 1926 ga and May 1.25 to
1.25 Ia, were followed by a moder-
ate further advance.
Oats jumped to new high price rec
almost bare of offerings. After open
ing 1-S to ga cent higher, with May
~ Ia to 70 SIS, prices continued to
ascend. -"
Lack of selling pressure caused an
advance in provisions. Lower quota
tons on hogs were ignored.
The fact that hog prices had reach
ed the minimum set by the food ad-
m~inistration seemed to counteract The
influence of the latest declines at the
yards.
Week end adjustments of. trades led
to a slight reaction. The close was un-

The Great Refusal.

Seldom IL ever In the history of all
the ages has so solemn 40 positive and
so momentous a mo" been uttered as
that with which the President of these
United States declined to consider the
Austrian peace proposals. 1t must
have been a serious moment. even in
a life so full of such responsibilities
as Woodrow Wilson has had to bear
when he penned that brief. decisive
note In which the door was closed upon
a possible termination of this CHASTITY
war. He did not shrink. however. nor
equivocate. but spoke forthrightly, like
q man. and that mo" will go echoing
down the ages as the supreme express
sion OF the soul OF America and OF the
world Already the strongest men OF
the allied countries have uttered their
louc amen" = Clemenceau, Lloyd
George. William II. Taft, Theodore
Roosevelt--and the halelujahs of the
myriads Of the common people sound
like the voice OF many waters.
Three resoundlng notes are heard in
the great refusal--the note OF firmness
the note of power and the note Of auth
GRITTY. II is something sublime to say

There is not thing new to write. It's
about the same each day. We are

1t seems we will never get any mail.
We have had two newspapers since ar

funny that you. three thousand miles
away, should get all the war news
and we here almost in the theatre of
war, have none.

luxury There is dandy river about
three miles from here and we hike
there often for a swim. Looks like
good fishing ground, too, but haven't
had time to try 1t out.
Don't know when we will get in ac-
ton. but know we will give good ac
count of ourselves as we have a dandy
personnel-fine bunch OF fellows.
The grapes will soon be ripe here
and we will have plenty It's a great
wine country, but the sale OF the

When Governor Stanley concluded
his statement of reasons for vetoing
the bill prohibiting the teaching of
the German language in Kentucky he
requested any one in the audience at
Winchester who believed that he had
made misuse of the veto power or that
he had done something that is to the
detriment of this country to arise. None
stood.
II killed that bill as dead as a mack
erel because In the first instance it
made ignorance compulsory and in the
second instance it was in direct opposi-
ton to what the United States Gov
ernment wants as an aid to the winning
of this war" he said 1.-THE teaching

the United States Government conducts
two great schools in which the study of
the German language is compulsory.
"They are West Point and Annapolis
