the Wilson hotel the flames burned
thru to the first intersection and
crossed the street, destroying the new

A GOOD Way TO SAVE

In times like these when economy
is so essential, know of no better
way to save than to have the entire
family shod with Neolin Solos,"
writes B. F. Williams, Rochester, N. Y.
In his letter Mr.. Williams tells of
a pair of Neolin-soled shoes which he
has worn constantly for four months.
The soles still look like new, he says.
You. too, will think there is no
better way to save, when once you
have tried shoes with these long
wearing. comfortable, and waterproof
soles. They come in many styles for
every member of the family. And
good repair shops carry Neolin Soles
for residing. They are made scien-
tifically by The Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out
wear all other heels.

To discourage determination on the
part Of the young German women of

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, April 7.-CORN-Corn showed
considerable weakness today, but rallied
when the fact developed that country offer
ings altho of liberal volume were mostly
held above the market. Asking prices were
said to be too high as compared with the
May option. Assertions that an increa sed
acreage of corn was in prospect compared
with recent estimates had only transient
bearish effect: Opening prices. which
ranged from &c to 1%c lower with May
$1.55 to $1.56 and July $1.47A to $1.4T%
were followed by upturns that in some
cases reached well above Saturdays finish
An increase Of the visible supply, the
first in some time, led later TO a setback,
notwithstanding that stocks were still far
below the total a year ago. Prices closed
unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish
to cent net higher with May $1.563s to
1861 and July $40 to Slabs
0ATS-Oats like corn quickly showed an
over sold condition. After opening &c off
to &c advance with Nav 6ds4c to SIC, the
market underwent a moderate general sag
and then scored a material advance.
MISREPRESENTATION were dull but
firmer in sympathy with hogs. The live
animals rose to a new top level for 1919.
