MARKET QUOTATIONS.
ARGENTINE RUMOR
BEARISH FOR CORN

Chicago, March 1s.-Prospects of
enlarged exports from Argentina
had bearish influence today on
corn, and so too did improved
weather conditions likely to bet
ter the domestic crop movement
and to diminish feeding demand.
Trade, however, was shifty of a
local character. Opening prices,
which ranged from 1c decline to
a like advance, with May $1.41A
to S1.42A, and July $134 to 1.343s,
were followed by a moderate de-
cline all around and then by a
transient rally.
Bulls were handicapped by the
failure of shipping demand here to
broaden. On the other hand coun-
try offerings were not plentiful.
and the development of the fact
that the Argentina labor difficult
ties were not fully settled. Prices
closed unsettled. 11zc net lower to
&c advance, with May 1.439s to
I-4315 and July 1854 to 1861.
Pork and ribs declined to the
Tkximum limit on the provision
but then reacted as a re-
suit OF scattered buying.
Oats merely reflected the
changes in corn. After opening
unchanged to 1sc0Ac lower with
May sac to 645sc, the market
showed a disposition to sag.
Provisions lacked support. High
er quotations on hogs were appar-
emily ignored.

Door Should Fit in Frame
Like Stopper in a Bottle

1t ruff1ed the. tidy nature of the
handy man TO have to pull and jerk at
his door to open it, and then to have
TO coax and push to shut it. A door
should fit in its frame like stopper in
a bottle, he thought. A cursory exam
ination disclosed that it stuck at the
bottom. OF course. if the swelling had
been at the top it would have been so
easy to plane of the surplus. But at
the bottom! He tried tightening the
screws in the upper hinge, which
were quite loose but found the wood
so soft that even longer screws would
not hold. There seemed to be nothing
TO do but remove the upper hinge, dig
out the soft wood and insert in its
place a piece of new wood, which held
the hinge firmly end prevented the
door from sagging.

To Reorganize
National Guard
Militia Bureau viii Extend Call to
All States

With the rapid return to this cOun-
try of the National Guard divisions
that served in France, officials of the
militia bureau of the war department
are making plans for an active cam
paign to reorganiZe the National Guard
in every state in the union. Authority
has just been granted the bureau to
increase it's personnel.
The militia bureau will soon extend
a general call to all state troop lead
ers, urging them to give their cO-opera-
ton in the formation of the national
militia. The new congress will be
urged to make adequate financial pro-
vision for the establishment of the
National Guard on a sound basis. The
military bill that failed to pass at the
last congress contained an appropria-
ton of more than $14 100000 for the
National Guard and authorization for
the equipment of all state troops from
the surplus war material in war de-
partment dep0ts.

Affection of the Elephant
Compared With That of Any
of the Domestic Animals

1t is commonly supposed that all
large animals of tropical jungles ex-
press sense of ferOcity, but this
is not true of the elephant, which is
only fierce when his self-protection
demands it. Perhaps no other animal
is so affectiOnate as the elephant
Whatever a horse, dog, cat or any
domestic animal will do for it's master,
an elephant will do, if it is possible,
with equal promptness. However, this
is the case only if the elephant has
been treated with kindness.
In the East, in India and in Africa,
elephants are not properly rewarded
for their kindness and service to man.
In India this creature is hunted,
made prisoner, and forced to work in
great lumber yards. In Africa, his
existence is threatened because of the
way that men rack him down for
ivory. If only the demands for ivory
would cease, the elephant might be
free to go about his accustomed ways
and then he would always show his
affectionate nature.

One of Philippine Group
Is an Island of Mystery

Mindoro, in the Philippine group.
is something of mystery. Other
islands are rather thickly populated,
but of MindOrO hardly anything is
known. There is fringe of population
around the shore line, but the inter-
Tor of the big island is practically
unknown and uneXplored. 1t is
claimed that but one white man, Dean
Worcester, ever has crossed the in
terror of Mindoro. Why the island
has remained thus for nearly 800
years is quite hard to understand. 1t
is said that there is gold in album
dance on this island. and where there
is gold there usually can be found
white men willing to go after it,
whether in frozen waste or tropic
heat, but Mindoro's secrets remain
safely hidden.
