CAMP CODY NORMAL

Conditions at Camp Cody are prac-
tically normal, says Capt. L. w. Bick-
nell. who returned to the state from
there last week. Capt. Bicknell, who
torney at Webster, came back on a
two weeks leave on business. He Is
in charge of Company B, One Hun
dred and Thirty-ifth infantry, but was
a member of the old South Dakota
cavalry before its reorganization.
"The situation at Cody was greatly
overdone," he declared. 1T Is true
there were some unpleasant features
and there were some deaths from
pneumonia and other causes, largely
because the medical corps was not at
the time equipped to handle them
properly.
"You remember Mark Twain once
denied a newspaper story by saying,
The report of my death is greatly ex-
aggerated.' That is about the size
of all this talk about Camp Cody.
Conditions never were what the sen
s~ationalists pictured in newspaper in.

To-day the men have become ad-

enjoying fine health. They drill out
doors eight hours a day and have had

call cold weather. At night they have
fires In their tents and they all have
the warm clothes they require.

voice, but they are not intolerable and

CHARGE DROP IN CORN
TO PLANTING CONDITIONS
Bears Also Make Capital Out OF
Peace Talk-Bu1ls Get an Of
fetal Jolt.

CHICAGO. May 4.-Enthusiasm over
ideal conditions for planting did good
deal this week to rush the corn market
downgrade, and the bears made capital
also Of peace talk. Compared with a
week ago, prices this morning were u
to 6x lower. Oats showed setbacks to
5h to 81. Changes in provisions
ranged from 1.6z decline to a rise Of
62a65.
Jolts, to the bulls in the corn market
began with the receipts Of oniciai notice
that specializing in hedges would be
considered q violation Of the anti
boarding law. Weakness that ensusd
was checked by assurances that the gov
eminent did not make it obligatory on
grain handlers to hedge holdings. but
then came reports that Austria was
making a fresh peace offer to italy, and
that other peace moves were likely. 1t
was not, however. until warm weather and
sunshine set in for an apparently pro-
longed period that weakness Of prices
became acute. Fair rallies that ensued
were ascribed more or less to gossip
that export business was again in sight.
Oats were ruled by the same factors
which governed corn.
Severe declines in pork followed liQui-
dation by holders, but deliveries of lard
went into strong hands. and there was
a strong demand for ribs.

PACE THIRD CAMPAIGN
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The Riggs National Bank, with pre-
mier honors for largest total subscrip.
tions to both the first and second lib
erty loans, promises to exceed in the
third loan it's total of the second loan
which was sa.577.ooo. for the third loar
returns. In each case the bank headed
its subscription list with 100000 fol
a starter and the customers did ths
f.st.
With few exceptions. the banks of tte
city have crossed their goal. the instf.
buttons being relieved of taking the
greater part of their alIotments
through the generous subscriptions OF
their clients, but practically all the
banks will come in on the subscription
list with good orders.
Therein lies the extreme confidence
Of the liberty loan committee in the
final days aggregate. 1t is the banks
counted to carry the oversubscription
on-the road to expectations not only in
the District but In practically the entire
country.
There are over 1000 national banks
that will probably make their sub
scripticns today, to say nothing of the
larger number of state banks and saw
ingS institutions and trust compa MES.
1t is believed that the Riggs National
will lead the local national banks in
the campaign which closes ton: Ght i;
the American Security and Trust Com
pany which reported S2.555,I50 for ehe
second liberty loan. the trust com
panIrs, ;-gain. and the iior:.- Savings
will naturally lead the savings banks.
The latter institution reported S1.017,-
500 subscriptions fo- .ne second liberty
loan.
Bankers believe that tine subscrip-
tons to the third liberty loan will
exceed the total to tEe second loan,
s22.4S6-200: that the number Of sub
scribers will be greatly in excess of
the number purchasing of the second
loan. s4.3ss. and arc encouraged in
this belief by the v4sy general dis
position on the part OF this community
to match the !'residsst."
