GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO, March l5.-Announce-
ment that Germany had definitely ac-
cepted provisioning terms imposed by
the allies led to a vigorous upturn to-
day in the corn market. Prices at the
close were unsettled. but 1ha3% cents
net higher, with May 1.37 Y aL3Si4
and July, 1.32aL32Es. oats gained "a
to 1 cent and provisions % cents to
$1.O0.
At first. the corn market had a
downward slant owing 20 reports that
q maximum limit was likely to be
placed on hog values. Bearish traders
were disconnected. however. by the
fact that the hog market showed con-
tinued strength instead of an eS-
pected break In the absence of any
aggressive selling corn soon began to
rally. It was at this stage that news
came of an allotment of $4,000 tons
OF foodstuffS a month to Germany in
return for ships. Explicit statements
that the German delegates had agreed
to the plan made demand here for
corn broaden out and forced prices to
bulge. Shorts led the stampede, the ef-
fects of which still remained evil
dent when the final gong strsck.
Oats followed corn, and rose smart
ly after a brief interval of weakness.
Provisions. like grain, swept upward

Review of Metal Market.

Dull and uncertain conditions pre-
vailed in the steel and iron industry
this week. knowledge on the part
Of the trade at large rhat there would
be material reductions in prices
brought about a serious luil in the
buying movement by domestic con-
sumers. Buyers were unwilling to
eater the market at the moment
since it was regarded as almost GER
tain that on the turn Of tne quarter
prices would be reduced.
A meeting was planned for last
Wednesday, but due to the fact that
Judge Gary was suffering from a
severe cold, the industrial board de-
c.ded to defer the session for a week.
This added to the uncertain tone in
Ii.e Industry. AS 4 result of the lull
in buying, mill operations were forced
TO lower figures, and q general re-
duction in activity, amounting to
almost ten per cent, and in some
cases more. was noted.
There was little news in the pig
iron market. Conditions were about
the same as those noted in steel
Buying was held back in anticipation
OF further reductions in price. The
coke market was strong, at lower
figures, and production was being
regulated to meet only recognized
needs of consumers.

tons OF an encouraging character
were the many signs of domestic
business improvement. extremely IA
vorable crop prospects and the coun-
try's further progress toward world
supremacy, as Indicated by the mar
Velous foreign trade pa.ances.
Although rails strengthened only
moderately, 1t IS generally recog-
nized that they carry the govern
mentS guarantee for such credits as
may De required. Steeis were again
restrained by uncertainty regarding
prices, but the contemplated staSili-
zaton agreement is expected TO bene-
lit that industry.
Arrangements for the iotation Of
the victory loan assumed more tan
gible form, but the question OF
interest rates and other important
details remain in allegiance Bankers
emphasized the Importance of extend
ing further credits to foreign coun-
tries, and it is believed the recent

form the basis of many similar

TELLS GOOD ROADS NEEDS
Farm and Fireside Explains Best
Plan for Oval Surface-Should
Be Flat as Possible.

Everybody agrees that the surface
of a road must be oval in it's con-
tour" says Farm and Fireside, ''but
not all understand that this oval
ought to be as fiat as the character
of the road material and the lay of
the land will permit. With brick or
concrete construction the oval may
be very fiat, because the traffic makes
no ruts to carry the water lengthwise
of the road, nor does the pavement
soften and develop depressions when
kept in contact with water.
But broken stone (water-bound
macadam), being susceptible to pene-
tration by water, and subject to great
damage if frozen while soaked, must
be given higher oval; and for gravel
roads still sleeper pitch is de-
manded.
GAS for earth roads, the steepness
must be governed by the combined
influence Of number of factors.
Perhaps the leading factor is the
quality of the earth in each particu-
lar case. And next might be placed
the presence or absence of 'seeps or
'spouts'; while another of these vital
factors would be the longitudinal
pitch of the highway"

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Grayl Here's an Old.
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to ,grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the. hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and gloSSy.-Ady.

PATCHING OFTEN NEGLECTED.
There Was but One Before
Work When Road Is Wet.

Patching is usually neglected or
done in such way as to cause two
ruts to form where there was but one
before. That is the invariable result
of filling rut too full. This work
should always be done when the road
is wet, preferably when the water is
still standing in every little hollow on
the road surface, so that the workmen
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much is needed.
Unless the rut is very large one,
it is always best to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into it, rather than to
raise sideboard and attempt to dump
part of the load.
