SHARP SETbACkS ON
CHICAGO EXCHANGE

CHICAGO, March 2.-Sharp set.
backs in values on Change here have
resulted this week largely from the
establishing Of maximum price limits
on every commodity that is traded in.
Oats and pork were affected most.
Compared with week ago, corn this
morning was unchanged to Is and
lac lower, oats off 5-Sc to Is to Lac,
and provisions down CSC to $2.75.
Despite general rush to let go of
speculative holdings of oats, the corn
market held relatively steady. The
chief reason was that the new restric-
lions did not apply directly to corn
any more than had been the case for
some time. Notwithstanding that re-
ceipts were the heaviest yet this sea-
son, the corn market gradually re-
covered from most of the bearish in
fluence of the sweeping measures in
regard to the extension of wartime
prices, especially after the fact be-
came apparent that export demand
was again substantial force. Peace
talk obtained only fitting notice.
Liquidation of oats holdings reach
ed big total. President Wilson's
proclamation disappearing a higher
guaranteed price on wheat led to con-
siderable selling of oats, and so too
did bearish estimates Of farm re-
serves.
Most Of the decline in provisions
was traceable to the setting of an all
around maximum price limit.

Did you ever dream there
would come a time when the
Tt-Can't-Be-Dones" would get
such knockout blows as they
are now receiving?
For instance, here are some
things we've heard lots Of
folks say couldn't be done, but
they're DID,"
Live on two pounds Of sugar
q month.
Do without wheat flour and
learn to like the substitutes
Teach American people thrift.
Put a million men in France.
Eliminate beef from our
DAILY diets, ETC., ETC., etc.
It does hs good to think Of
these things, and others, for
we have always maintained
that there is nothing under the
sun that can't be done If we're
willing to make the necessary
effort. Pin that in your hat
for future reference.

ECLIPSE WAS FINE
SPECTACLE LAST SATURDAY

Gunnison was an excited little city
Saturday when the first little chip ap-
peared in the sun at 4:23 and the long
looked for eclipse began. Here and
there on the street you could see the
people with pieces of smoked glass
peering at it. Occasionally some one
would try to look at it with the naked
eye by shading the eyes with the hand
but all they received was q shot Of
binding flashes that made them see
green daubs for some time. II was
dangerous to look at the sun with the
naked eye. It was thought for some
time Gunnison would not see the
eclipse as the storm clouds began to
gather in the west but they soon
cleared away and our expectation was
reached. We did not witness total
eclipse, Denver being the only place
having that honor but - clouds were
dense in that cityxMe had the hsst
ticed in the lower right hand arc and
It gradually moved up until the effect
was thin new moon but 1t was not
quite large enough to cover it entirely.
Although it did not make it entirely
dark here the people had the peculiar
sensation of the dim light. The
shadows were amusing as you walked
along the street. II was necessary
for all places of business to turn on
lights during this time, but the chick

EMPIRE CAR OUT OF HOOK
WHO GETS 1T, NEXT QUESTION

The famous automobile known as
the Empire Prize car case, was set
tied and dismissed by the county court
last Monday.
Now that the prize car is the un-
contested property of the Empire
owner, which one of the young ladies
who toiled SO hard to win it gets the
car?
Or is the owner of the Empire in-
tending to calmly ignore all promises
and the rights Of the young ladies to
prizes for which SO much money was
paid over.
