GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, May 27.-Corn prices took
decided downward swings today. In
fluenced by favorable weather. Likeli-
hod Of enlarged receipts tended also to
give the bears an advantage. About
the only demand came from shorts.
Opening quotations which ranged from
the same at Saturdays finish to hc
lower with June $1.37 and July 31.3eh
to 4 were followed by slight rally
and then by material declines.
High temperatures specially adapted
to promote termination kept the mar
ket depressed in the late dealings.
Prices closed nervous ! Y to 2Ac net
lower with June $1.35A and July
$1.37h to v.
Oats sympathized with weakness Of
corn. Trade was light. After opening
a shade to &c lower with July 66H to
X the market reacted somewhat and
later underwent a fresh sag.
Provisions showed only transient e.
fects from setbacks in the value of
hogs. Covering by shorts was more
than complete offset.

Henry j. Allen of Wichita. inspector
general of the American Red Cross in
France, brought the spirit of the war
to the Kansas farmers at wonderful
Wednesday night meeting of the state
agricultural society in Memorial hall
Allen drove home the spirit of sacri-
flee and suffering which the war had
brought and told his Topeka crowd
that America must be glad of the OPP
portunity to fight over there lest she
be forced to fight over here. Hun
dreds of men and women were unable
to gain admittance to the hall.

FIND VALUABLE FOSSIL
College Students Dig Up
Permenian Vertebrate.

Winfield, Kan. Jan. 1O.-A fossil
classified by Prof. r. B. Dunlavy, of
Southwestern college, Winfield, as a
Permenian vertebrate has been exca-
waited from the bank of the Walnut
river. near here, by a party of South
western students. 1t was found below
the limestone layer in the Permenian
rock and has the characteristics of a
reptilian fish.
The head of the fossil is about eight
inches long and five inches wide. The
teeth are about half an inch in diam
eter.
1t is said that only one other fossil
of this kind has been found in Kan
sas. The specimen found by the stu
dents is being preserved at Southwest
ern college.

morale. But their morale IS firm and
strong today and they will fight as
long as the United States is at their
side and back.
This year there is a new letter to
the men in the French trenches. 1t
is that the American Red Cross has
been there and has brought food and
fuel. General Petain said to us that
the work of the Red Cross was worth
as much to French morale as 1900, 900
soldiers in the trenches this winter.
Man for man, 1 believe the Brit
ish army is better than any army
Europe ever saw or the German kaiser
ever had" was the tribute to the
Tommy. And the best of the British
army is a division from Canada
Canadians from Oshkosh, Milwaukee,
Chicago and other cities. There isn't
much doubt we will fight just as well
when we get there.
Hun Crimes Are True.
II have come away from that west
ern front firm in the belief that every
story of barbarism and cruelty and
crime charged against the Hun is true
in fact. 1 went there skeptica1. 1
came away convinced" Then Allen
portrayed authenticated stories of Ger
man crime and cruelty.
THE kaiser has picked us out for
his especial attention" said Allen.
I'm his wooden headed method of
reason, he believes he can scare us
out of this war"
Allen appealed to the farmers to
stand behind the government in its
campaign to win the war. He told of
incidents of sacrifice and hardship
among allied farmers and recounted
the story of a French peasant woman
who was unable to farm her land by
day because of the German fire.
Working at night she raised thirty
of wheat
