CORN PILES UP
AT TERMINALS
Prices Lower as Result of Rail-
road EmbargOes on East
Shipments

Chicago, ILL.,, Mar. 14.-Rapid piling
up of stocks at leading terminals did
a good deal to bring about a break
in the value of corn. Prices closed
heavy, Is to %c net lower, with March
;127% and May 1864. Oats fell rs to
III and provisions to cents.
+, Railroad embargOes on east bound
shipments were largely responsible
for the swiftness with which supplies
Of corn here and at other big centers
appeared to be accommodating. One
decidedly unsettling influence in this
connection was the likelihood OF a
great increase of hedging sales as
result of conferences in Chicago to
formulate plans for betterment OF the
grain trade. A representative OF the
food administrator was expected to
arrive tomorrow to participate in the
meetings, and it was said that good
progress had already been made to-
ward reaching solution of difficulties
In addition, elevator interests were
conspicuous on the bear side, and
there was a possibility of huge deliv-
cries on May contracts.
(. Oats tumbled on account OF the
weakness of corn. Reports of excellent
Roadway in seeding operations formed
an additional weight on the market.
In provisions, the downward swing OF
coarse grain more than counterbal-
,anced the effect of higher quotations
on hogs. 'a 49, .

scum, Naturalist Schurr has lectured frequently in many local schools and institutions and conducted nature study outings, and also has delivered lectures in Hartford, Bristol Meri
 den, Waterbury, New Haven, Bridge port, Danbury, New London and in other cities in Connecticut and in the New England states. He has written many articles on nature and science for papers about the state, several of which were specially writ ten for and published in the Herald
 Curator Schurr has been a life time student of nature, and is the only naturalist who is the son and grandson of naturalists. His success as a curator can be attributed, not alone to his knowledge of natural life and his ability to scatter such knowledge, but also to the fact that he has had over fifteen years ac- tice connection with museums of na- turaI history, and has learned by ex- perience that a museum must be so conducted that everyone, young and old in all classes in life will find at all times a cordial welcome. The In stitute Museum is a welcome place to visit---it affords entertainment and instruction. It is a museum for the people-and it gets the attendance.

specimens of the more common species
 It takes time to collect and prop erly preserve and mount specimens, whether it be of insects, animals or other forms of life, and though col lections sometimes take years in the making it has always been the policy of Curator Schurr to make show ing as it were, in as many branches in natural science as can possibly De displayed to advantage Although by no means a large collection. there will be put on display at the museum this week for the first time an exhibit of Connecticut animal life. In large case in the main exhibit room will be shown some common animals Tn their natural haunts. The sly red fox will be seen bounding over the rocks. Cred, red and flying squirrels and chipmonks at play in the braches of trees and in hollow logs are to be displayed in varied attl- tudes. A mushrat with it's home un- der the bank of a pond displaying a nest of baby rats, a weasel in quest Of spells, woodchucks at play near their burrow, a raccoon washing food at the waters edge; such is the manner in which these folk of the wild are to be seen. The arrange ment of the case is a real piece of art Work-an exhibit such as is shown in the larger city museums.
 As time goes on other species of animals will be added as likewise ad- ditions will be made to the other col lections.
 New Britain can justly be proud of its museum. It has grown rapidly and has made a name for itself The Institute Museum is known near and far.

a MILLION INSURED

At the close Of Wednesday,
February 10, over 100000 SOL
diers and sailors and Army and
Navy nurses had applied for Gov
eminent insurance under the SOL
der and sailor insurance law.
The amount of insurance applied
for is more than S8,OOO,OOO,OOO.
The maximum permitted to any
person is 10000, and the aver
age applied for is S8,212. There
are many applications mailed
from distant points which have
not yet reached the Treasury De-
partment. The above figures are
only Of applications that have
been actually received and
granted.
The amount of Government
insurance i'm force is more than
three times as much as the total
ordinary life insurance in force
with any life insurance company
i'm the world.
The splendid result which gives
to more than a million Of the SOL
diers and sailors of our country
the benefits of this insurance,
which Secretary McAdoo has just
ly described as the most just and
humane provision ever made by
any nation for its fighting men,
is due to the quick appreciation
by the beneficiaries of the value
of the insurance and the invalu-
able aid periodically given to the
War-Risk Insurance Bureau of
the Treasury by the press of the
country, the officers Of the Army
and Navy, and many of the indi-
lvidual soldiers and sailors, to
which must be added the earnest
and efficient work of officers and
agents of the insurance compan-
les, fraternal beneficiary associa-
tions, and many patriotic organi-
cations.
The campaign, which has for
, its purpose the insurance of each
and every person entitled to in
surance under the law, will be
continued. The time within which
insurance may be applied for has
been extended by a, general reso-
Tuition of Congress, approved by
the President, until April 10
1918.
The automatic insurance, how
lever, which automatically gives
( insurance TO all entitled to receive
it until February ~, although no
application was made, has eX-
rired. Hereafter only those who
have applied for and received
policies will receive insurance.

SEVEN REASONS FOR SAVING
SPEND, but spend wisely,

81 A4ANA'f hhb opNlln w AotlJ5
SAVE, and save Earnestly:
1. Save for your country's
sake, because it is now spending
millions a day and must find most
Of the money out Of savings.
2. Save for your own sake, be
cause work and wages are plenti-
full and, while prices are high
now, a dollar will buy more after
the war.
3. Save because, when you
spend, you make other people
work for you, and the work of
everyone is needed now to win
the war.
4. Save because, by saving, you
make things cheaper for every
one, especially for those who are
poorer than you.
5. Save because, by going
without you relieve the strain on
ships, docks, and railways, and
make transport cheaper and
quicker.
6. Save because, by saving, you
set an example that makes it
easier for the next man to save.
A saving nation is an earning
nation.
7. Save because every time you
save you help twice, first when
you don't spend, and again when
you lend to the Nation.
