chIoano,a oidest Saloon.

When the dry law went into effect
and Chicago's 5000 saloons went out
of business. 1t ended the career of
Chicago's oldest saloon which was es-
tabllshed in 1887, the same year Chi
cago was incorporated as city. Since
that time the business has passed
through the hands of family Of four
generations Indian camps were a
common sight in Chicago in those
days. The city had about 5000 inhab-
itants; to-day there are nearly 3,000,-
600 persons.

FAMED NEW ENGLAND FAMILY
Many Distinguished Citizens Arnono
the Hanks of the Town of
Mansfield, Conn.

AT the recent celebration at Mans
held, Conn.,, of the golden wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry W. Hanks. the
fact was brought out that the Hanks
FAMILY has long been known for its
ingenuity. The first town clock known
IN this country was made on Hanks
hill by Benjamin Hanks and was
placed in the Old Dutch church in
New York city in 1880. The first
brass cannon and first bell in America
were also cast on Hanks hin.
Not only this, but the first silk mill
erected in the United States. in 1910.
still remains on the old hill. The
grandfather of Henry w. Hanks. who
was Rodney Hanks, was the first SIX
manufacturer in America. The lat
ter's son, George R., father of Henty.
continued in the business All about
the old town are evidences of a famous
experim mt in raising cocoons for the
industry, in the shape of stray null
berry trees which have survived rne
severe New England winters.
Another interesting fact brought out
at the celebration was that, although
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hanks have five
children and four grandchildren, dur
Ing the fifty years of their married
life there has never been a DEAN IN
the family. When a boy, Henry Hanks
went with his parents to Illinois,
where they ran ranch and conducted
a grocery store in the years between
1858 and 1867, moving back TO the an
cestral acres during the latter year

New York Cotton.

New York, March 1O.-The cotton market showed a generally firm to- day on reports of unfavorable weather in the south with further delays in farm work, talg of better feeling in the goods market and rather a more optimistic view of export pro poets. The general market closed very steady at a net advance of 35 to 94 points on the old and 30 to 65 points advance on the new contracts.
 The bulk fthe business was again in liquidation of old style contracts or transferring accounts to the new style delivery. Trade interests who had short hedges outstanding in the old May and July positions, were ac- tive buyers of those months against sales of the new style contracts and this business had a tendency to bring the differences nearer together. There was also coverings by March and the later new style months were relative lv firm on the fresh buying inspired by weather and crop advices. The advance during the early afternoon seemed to be encouraged by reports that censorship on cables to neutral countries adjoining the central powers would probably be lifted this week, which some traders took as suggest ing the early lifting of the blockade.

M A < k F T Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions
NEW ORLEANS COTTON,

New Orleans, March 10.-Continu2d coering of the short interest was the main influence in cotton today and it flgae the market a rising tendency from the opening. Although thera were small recessions every now and then, highest prices came late in the session. At one tim, old and new May traded at the same plicc, $23.90. Last prices showed net gains for the session of 23 to 66 points on the old contracts and 10 to 45 points on the new.
 The heavy rains reported at the end of last week in the ca stern belt and claims that fertilizer sales in that section of the cotton region were un- usually small were features that con tributed to the strength of the market The frmness of spots also helped flu lures, spots being raised fifty points to S27.25 for middling. A rumor of the day was that certain spot firms who owed cotton to mills and who had bought March contliacts as a hedge woud ask for delierics.
 Cotton closed. Old steady at all ad- ance of 23 to 66 points and new steady' at an advance of 40 to 45i DoiOts

Our wonderful LAnauaas.

A certain merchant died, leaving to iis only son the conduct of his exten. slve business, and great doubt was ex- pressed in some quarters whether the young man possessed the ability to car. ry out the fathers policies. "Well," said one kindly disposed friend, "for my part. l think Henry is very bright and capable. Ian sure he will succeed" Perhaps you're right" said another friend. "Henry is undoubtedly a clev. CT fellow. but, take it from me, old man, he hasn't got the head to fill his fathers Ghoes."

Grain and Provisions.

Grain and Provisions.
 Chicago, March 10.-Authoritative suggestion that wheat might com- mand as high as $3.50 bushel gave the corn market today a forcible up- turn. The close was strong at 5-8 to 4 1-2 cent net advance with May 133 3-8 to 135 1-2 and July 129 1-2 to 129 3-4. Oats gained 1 1-2 to 2 cents and provisions 50 cents to $1.OO.
 Buying of corn took on immense proportions chiefly as a result of a statement from director general Hooy- CT of the Inter-allled relief organi- zation as to the price effective, of greater European needs than had been expected. i;
 Profits taking on the advance led to only q moderate reaction despite word that 25O,0O0 bushels of Argentine corn March-April shipment, had been pur- chased at the seaboard, and much of fered at cents under the current price of Chicago May delivery.
 Oats were strengthened decidedly by the same influences that affected corn.
 Provisions jumped quickly to the maximum limit.

WIRELESS THROUGH EARTH
Naval Officer Makes Discoveries Which
Will RevoIutionize
Radiography.

San Diego, Cai.,-Radiography will
be revolutionized by transmission
through the earth and water, insteQd
of the air as the result of discoveries
made at a little experiment station To-
Gated on barge in San Diego bay, it
is predicted by Lieut.. A. A. Morton Of
the navy radio laboratory at Mare Is
land, who conducted the experiments.
First proof of the success of the new
method of radio transmission through
the earth, it was revealed, was made
when the United States navy depart
ment sent message from the Annapo-
lis station to the British admiralty
that the dirigible R-34 had been sight,
ed off the American coast.
Lieutenant Morton was at his instru-
ments, heard the message and copied
it In it's entirety, he said.

sure to nip of the end of each shoot,
as advised above, to make the plant
spread out we'll.
Many plants can be secured Of the
florists and these can be divided next
season. One good sized plant can be
made to serve as half q dozen small
plants in the spring, each one Of which
will become quite large enough for the
table use by fall.
A combination of ferns can be easily
grown for use on the table The broad
leaved pteris. the fine-leaved adam
tums go we'll together.
The grace of these plants is adapted
to the table where quality is consid-
cred as more important than quantity.
A combination of ferns OF different
variety with plants having pretty
foliage in color is beautiful In this
case peperomia and tradescantia are
used to supply the desired effect.
Fern pans filled with small plants Of
varieties best calculated to give sue
cessful results in the living room, can
be- bought Of nearly alf"the florists
One should not depend upon single
specimen. Have two, three or more to
admit of frequent change
Few plants can be kept on the table
day after day without becoming uu.
healthy. Have several and allow none
of them to do decorative duty for
longer than a day or two at time.
At holiday time there will be at
tractive plants on the market and
some of these are admirably adapted
to table use.
There is the Jerusalem cherry, a
miniature bearing scarlet fruit, and
the ardisia, a plant with rich. dark
foliage against which its dark, red ber-
ries show to most pleasing effect.
Small plants of araucaria are not
pretty but are so peculiar in habit
that they always attract attention and
challenge admiration.
A plant of poinsettia with it's scarlet
Towering will make the table radiant
with it's wealth of color.
Pots of Roman hyacinth are charm
ing adjuncts of the breakfast table, as
are lilies of the valley or narcissus.
These will last for a long time if they
are removed to the window as soon as
the meal is over.
