Cereals

the " est have resulted in an cxteN-
slNc covering over the winter wheat
belt. Furthermore, the drought in ths
Southwest has been relieved by bo.n
snow and rain, and, altogether, the OUT.
look for the new winter wheat crou
has been benefited by the widespread
precipitation. The movement Of wheat
in common with other grains, has been
curtailed by the recent billiards. an,!
receipts were small. The Canadian
visible supply decreased $4,000 bush
els for the week. and the totnl was
19,024.00 compared with 33,4IS,000 q
year ago.
Corn.-Iittlc attempt was made to do
business in the corn market yesterday
and price changes were extremely MAJ
row. Traffic conditions throughout tho
entire country east of the Mississippi
were virtually suspended as a result
Of last weeks storm. 1t was said that
practically no freight had moved 70,
twonty-four hours east of st. Louis
and Chicago and west Of Pittsburgh
and Buffalo. Under the circumstances
there waa little probability of an early
improvement i'll the movement, al
though advices from the country said
sales if they could secure the cars.
y
cold weather must have been Of benc-
fit TO the low grade corn, and on this
account there is disposition to ar
ticipatc an improvement in grading
when traffic conditions permit Of
larger receipts. In the local cash mar
ket prices were nominal and barely
steady.

Talking Ourselves Down.

Unnecessary criticism Of others
is one of the deadliest forms OF
lf-injury. 1t is doubly so when
coupled with vindication OF self.
The man who, for example, ls
being unjustly attacked or de-
preciated in his rightful place
and work, and who makes it a
point to tell friends who have no
special connection with the matter
all about it, explaining the un-
fairness and weakness Of his OPP
ponents aud the strength Of him
self-and his work, accomplishes
nothing but loss Of respect for
himself on the part OF those in
whom he confdes. The facts as
he tells them may be wholly true;
|but the fact that he tells them is
wholly against him. 1t is always
a temptation, in such trying cir
cumstances, thus to talk about
ourselves and others; it seems
like helpful of the tension, but the
Irelief is not genuine and it il
. costly to our own character and
, reputation. The most respected
man is the man from whose con
, versation his own grievances ant
achievements are brilliantly ab
. tsent.

will not only equip them for life
but at the same time prepare
them for patriotic work. At the
same time they are learning a
fine profession they will receive
excellent board, reside in a fine
home and receive small salary,
and it is expected that within a
short time there will be enough
young ladies in Louisiana and
Mississippi take advantage OF the
opportunity which is offered
them by the Bogalusa Hospital to
