n. Y. STOCK MARKET
HAS IRREGULAR DAY
Opens Buoyant but Profit Taking
Forces Prices Down.

New York. April 22.-Stocks were
buoyant in the early trading today,
but profit-taking made its influence
felt In the afternoon. The result
was a closing that was steady. but
under the best prices and with some
issues showing net losses. Special
ties were in particular favor after
steel hal made a new high price
for the movement. Railway Steel
Springs, Baldwin, Distillers. Allis-
rolet were most prominent. Most Of
these retained part Of their gains
throughout the session.
Although the bank statement Of Sat-
urday did not promise easier money.
money was easy and the bankers
gave brokers the impression that
their business was wanted.
War news was also negatively bet
ter. Every day is precious to the
allies now, as It permits additions to
the lines of defense.
Copper stocks are being accumulated
by inside interests after most care
full examination has been completed
by expert accountants. The cost Of
copper metal is several cents higher
than the reported cost before tn
war, but only about two cents higher
than the actual cost.
Marine stocks were heavy all the
session and with very good reason.
When one considers and compares the
number OF ships operating before the
war with the number that will be
in service at its close, 1t will be
easily seen that ships will have to
carry cargoes for merely nominal

ciently attractive from a financial

CHICAGO GRAIN.
BY JOSEPH r. PRTTCHARD.

Chicago. April 2.-The allies BOUGHT oats In
liberal quantities today and prices advanced
kas cent for the nearby months, while tho
deferred were unchanged. II was reported that
during the early part Of the session oats was
offered on track at sesbosrd ports st IN cents
but later there were goodly amounts 10 change
hands at III cents. Agents OF the various guy-
srnments who are doing business In Chicaeo
and the smaller markets of the country have
refused to make straight-out bids for the grain
wanted but have waited for those holding oats
to offer them and to name the Price a wen.
This action has placed the market at their
mercy.
Generally speaking the market presented a
bearish feeling with more of the big traders
arrayed on that side Of the market than on
the bull or buying dde. The weakening IN
fuence was the better weather conditions for
the seed already in the ground and for the
seeding OF oats. The acreage already put IN
oats Is a large one and under favorable CROP
conditions the total yield viii surpas, that Of
several previous years.
Advances were shown Of 2x TO ~ cents for
June com and the July future was UP Il. cents
May showed less strength than the others,
ruling V cent lower TO unchanged. There
were no sales OF round hts Of this grain but
car lots were active at unchanged prices
There was liquidation by longs in hog pro-
ducts today. The buying was scattered. Some
government contracts have been allotted.

THE BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE

"This amount includes a fine OF
$4,000 pesetas imposed on the Alsa-
tian children who insist on speaking
the French language and refuse to
study the beautiful German Ian
guage."
Possibly this quotation from Ger
man document contains a hint that
could be used to advantage by this
country. Those who consider the
beautiful German language superior
to the American language and persist
in teaching it to their children and
making it the language of their
homes, churches and schools should
not object TO paying something for
the privilege. Such families usually
extol the methods and practices of
Germany as compared with this coun-
try, and should not object to paying
a tax for the privilege of using Ian
guage other than the language of the
country. since that is the way Ger
many handles a similar situation.-

THE TEACHERS PRODUCT

1t is with pride that anyone surveys
the work of his hands. The farmer
shows you his cornfield with swelling
satisfaction. The manufacturer han
dies over his shoes and his cotton
goods with triumph in the success of
his craftsmanship. We applaud these
men for their contribution to the
country. But some of those who are
producing the largest results in our
civic life get but little recognition.
At this season of school gradua-
tions, the center of interest is the
bright-faced classes of graduates.
with their hope and achievements.
Quietly sitting in the background are
the teachers, whose achievement is
often forgotten. -r.-
1t takes the mental stimulus of an
alert teacher of high ideals to give the
young folks a good start. Otherwise
it is just dull droning of lessons
learned by memory out of books. The
teacher who has sent out at this sea-
son group of young people full of
and with habits of industry
fixed, has turned out product more
important than any corn, shoes or
cotton goods.-Springfield Repub-
lican.

CITIES MUST HELP FARMERS

In any American city it may come
to pass that men who know how to
chop wood or pick cotton or harvest
wheat will have to close their Offices
and stores during the periods of sea-
sonal strain and come out and help
the farmers. All the other countries
at war have done that and we must
do it if the need appears.--Clarence
Ousley, Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture.

How to Figure Your Wage Increas,

How to Figure Your Wage Increase
To All Railroad Men:
Take the first three numbers of
your 1915 automobile license and add
to this the size of your shoes. Then
subtract the number of buttons miss
ing from your last summers suit; add
this to the total amount of your un-
paid taxes and laundry bills and di-
vide by so per cent of your telephone
number Next add the total weight
of your entire family and plus your
serial number in the military draft,
and divide by all the speeches on in
crease of wages by McAdoo to the
railroad employees.
The result will give you what you
may expect.

The least of my thoughts will be back

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

Pneumonia jackets and shot bags
occupied the attention of the workers
Monday.
The Red Cross Chapter received d
shipment of five bolts of muslin ano
patterns for refugee garments and
helplesS-caSe shirts Monday from
headquarters.
A number of portable houses have
been built by the American Red Cross
on loaned ground near Paris and sold
on easy terms to refugee families.
When the war is over, the family can
take its house with it to replace a
home shattered by she'll
The Red Cross is an organization
which existed long before war was
declared, and will exist long after it
is over, for the relief of all manner
of human suffering, and the work for
refugees is as much part of the Red
Cross work as the work for the
wounded soldier.
Mrs. Bingham says that the making
of refugee garments appeals to her
as showing more real charity than
making the soldiers garments. When
sewing for the soldiers we feel that
we are working for our own. When
making the refugee garments we are
working for others with no hope of
gain.
There was a large attendance of
girls at the work room Monday and
they worked diligently making shot
bags and winding strings, for tying
packages of completed articles. Mrs.
Bingham expects to put the girls to
work making refugee garments in a
short time. They enter into the work
enthusiastically and accomplish a
great deal when they go to the work
room.
As you read the list of workers day
by day, YOU notice that the names of
some of these women appear each
time. They are to be commended for
the faithful service they are giving.
There are many other Monet women
who have no more home duties than
these faithful ones and they should
follow their example and work a few
days every week. The work is inter-
esting and the social feature is most
pleasant.
