TOO Old to Live"

During 1917 there died in Germany 100000 more men
and women-Germans mind you!-beween the ages oil 90
and 75 than died during the year before which IN turn
showed higher mortality rate among the aged than any
pre-war year. -
That is not remarkable. The best food and the most
of in Germany goes the soldiers and TO the ruling
classes The aged poor live nearfood and little OF that
But the remarkable thing in connection with the above
statistics is the statement made by high German health
official ,
"We are glad of it," he declared. 1T proves that
every day the German power is increasing"
And then he goes on to explain that the abnormal
death among the old folks reduces the number OF
mouths which demand food-mouths OF people who can
longer fight in the trenches produce food or nu-
nitions at home.
The persons upward from 30 die, the more IN
vincible will become the fatherand." he added.

in their younger days bore the burden of kaiser and

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, April 15.-Favorable wea- ther had bearish effect today on corn. BesideS receipts were large and there were reports of more corn being consigned from Toledo to Chi cago. On the decline. however, com mission houses turned to the buying side and brought about a reaction. OpeninS prices, which varied iron, unchanged figures to 3-4c lower with May $1.27 and July $l.49 3-4 to S1.50 IA, were followed by moder- ate general upturn.
 Absence of selling pressure allow ed oats to ascend after some weak ness at the outset. The initial sag was due to sympathy with corn. Af- ter opening 1-S@1-4 to 5-Sc off, with May s 1-2 to- S3 7-S r prices rose to we'll above Saturdays closing level. <2.+
 Big supplies of hogs had only a transient depressing influence on provisons. Trade was small.
 A more pronounced break took place later, but agan the market ral- lied. Prices closed unsettled at 1.27 Is for ally and l.49 5-S to 34 July. with the market as a whole 7-Sc off to 1-Sc advance, compared with Sat urday's finish.
 Strength which developed was ap- parently due to the fact that exports for the week. were the largest ever known.

 MT. Riley is in touch with the Chamber of Commerce thru Secretary E. B. Bloom, and it is probable that the school will soon be opened here. The Chamber of Commerce was ask ed to put up a guarantee of $100 to cover the furnishing of the place where the school will be held and oth- CT minor expenses. This amount was quickly raised and rendered MT. Riley.

 roc. OF c. PLEA

Secretary E. B. Bloom fthe Cham Der of Commerce is in receipt of a letter from Edward Chambers, direct or of the division of traffic of the railroad administration, replying to the telegram recently sent to that de- partment by the Chamber of Com. merce asking that the local railroads be allowed to maintain a joint uptown office. MT. Bloom states that the re- ply is very vague and gives no real information on the subject. He is of the opinion that it was mailed before the receipt of the letter of explanit- tion which followed the original tele. gram, and is confident that he will hear more on the matter within the next few days.
