BIG CUT IN

Z Chicago. April 2o.-Big cuts in. the
value OF corr has been forced this
week. by nearly perfect crop condi-
tions and by bearish interpretations
of war reports. Compared With q
week ago, the market this morning

showed a setback of 1-2c to 2 5-Sc.
In provisions. there were losses Of

Widespread rains which gave newly
planted corn a good start and put the
soil throughout the main portion Of
the belt into fine shape for seeding led
the way quickly to pronounced weak
ness in the corn market. The down.
pours furnished greatly needed re-
serve. moisture in many sections, and
there was a further source of bear
ish sentiment in the fact that pota-
toes, hay and other farm commodities
showed notable declines in value.
Hopeful views of the war status re-
ceived much attention on Thursday
in particular. but the effect was some
what counterbalanced yesterday by a
cool wave, notwithstanding predic-
tions of warmer weather coming.
Oats like corn gave way on account

Ignite MAY. Be
USED BY MINI. 4.
INSTITUTIONS
Minnesota Authorities Now
Making Investigation
at Bismarck. J

Bismarck. N. D.. April 2o.-The'
exclusive use of North Dakota Ignite
in all Minnesota penal and charitable
institutions nay follow a favorable
report OF Ralph w. Wheelock, veteran
northwestern newspaper man, now
control, who was here yesterday In
conference with Governor Frazier and
the North Dakota control board rela-
tive to North Dakota's experience
with the institutional use of Ignite.
Through a stautary enactment OF
some IL or is years ago, Ignite has
been used exclusively in North Dako-
ia state institutions, and h expert
ment has been a complete success.
The annual saving to the state Is con-
siderable, and the example set by the
public institutions has done much to
encourage the private use OF Ignite.
North Dakota's vast store of Ignite
has attracted much attention in Min
nesota as a result of last winters fuel
Minnesota suffered heatless
Mondays and lightless nights. from
which North Dakota's Ignite made
his state immune. 1t was impossible
for Minnesota to get enough eastern
coal to supply its homes and keep Its
factories and shops running. There
is a prospect that the situation next
winter will be as bad, If not worse,
and the Gopher state hoard of con-
troll intends to be forehanded, inso-
far as the institutions under Its direc-
ton are concerned.
Ralph Wheelock is one of the best
known and most liked newspaper men
Of the northwest. He was a we'll
known editor, way back in territorial
days, before Bismarck became the
capital. When the territorial capital
was moved to Bismarck. Wheelock,
then editor of a Mitchell newspaper.
came here to write politics and cover
legislative sessions. His marriage
was made a big social event at the
executive mansion. He was a friend
Of governors and statesmen and of
the men who made them.
II am always glad to \drop into
Bismarck" said Wheelock today.
TITS like getting back home" Min
nesota has been kind to the veteran
Flickertail newspaper man. He was
secretary to former Governor A. O:
Eberhardt and is now a member OF
the state hoard Of control, a capacity
in which he is making good and win
ming friends for the administration.
