Some years before the war the Ger
man crown prince got very neat call
down from Miss Bernice Willard. Il
Philadelphia girl. 1t was during the
Emperor's regatta, and the two men
toned were sitting with others on the
deck of yacht. A whiff of smoke from
the princes cigarette blowing into the
young lady's face, lieutenant near by
remarked: Smoke withers flowers"
at is no flower" said the prince,
jocularly. 'it is thistle"
Miss Willard raised her eyes a trifle.
"In that case" she said, II had better
retire or shall be devoured."
The party saw the point, and the
prince was discounted.

HOLDERS OF GRAIN
WERE UNLOADING
Corn and Oats Close at Fig
ures Lower Than Previ-
GUS Quotations

Chicago. March 30.-Holders Of grain
did considerable unloading today as
result of uncertainties of the military
outlook and on account Of bearish crop
conditions in the southwest. Corn
closed steady, sc net lower; oats off
sc to 1ss @11ac, and provisions down
22@65c.
Corn at first showed strength, in
fluenced by generally prevailing opin-
ions that the war situation was more
satisfactory. Pressure from longs, how
ever, soon set in, and especially after
news became public that the British
had withdrawn from Misieres toward
An1fens. Declines which ensued carried
the market we'll below Thursdays
closing level, and there was no impor-
tant upturn in the subsequent deal
ings.
Despite firmness at the outset, oats
underwent a decided setback. Improved
crop reports We're largely responsible
for the change of sentiment.
Gossip that April orders from the
government were smaller than the
trade had looked for tended to depress
the provision market. The restriction
of orders was ascribed to the existing
limits on the amount of ocean tonnage
available.

The tail-end business of the week
among wholesalers was good, according
to reports.
Live stock locally is reported to be
moving freely. Al; previous records for
cattle sales from southern territory IN
the history of the st. Louis market were
broken March q. when the c. NJ. Keys
Commission company, National Sock
yards, sold p head of Alabama fed
steers averaging lips pounds al $685. per
hundred. This car OF cattle was fed by
Messrs. Foster & Fits, bankers ana
stockmen of Tuscaloosa. They were
strictly native raised Alabama Hereford
steers. The south has made rapid strides
in the past few years as a live stock pro-
ducing section of this country, and this
sale should serve as stimulus to the
i've stock Industry, especially SO at this
time, when the government is urging
farmers to produce cattle and hogs. The
official market publication here has
given this considerable mention, because
II compares with the best fed cattle
from the corn belt district. This car load
OF steers was started on light feed of
corn, ensilage and cotton seed meal on
october 20. and on December 10 they
were put on a full feed of ensiiage. vel
vet beans and seven pounds of cotton
seed meal. Their average gain per day
on this ration was about 21a pounds.

Fake Solicitators.

Complaint is being registered
with the State Council of Defense
,, that in some instances of late il
has been discovered the solicita-
ton of funds for alleged war-work
purposes has been carried on by
persons who have utilized such
contribution to their personal ben
eft. 1t is pleasing to note, how
ever, that these cases are rare. but
in order that such imposition may
be guarded against in the future
the Council of National Defense
has made a request upon each
State Council of Defense to under.
take the responsibility for this
work, and work in conjunction
with Parish Councils that contri
buttons made for war work reach
the proper channels and see they
are collected only by those duly
authorized.
You, as chairman of your local
council, are asked to give this re-
quest personal attention, and where
you have cause to believe the pub
lie is being treated unjustly, report
the case to the State Council that
the matter may be Investigated by
the proper authorities.
