New York stock Market.

Wall st, New York, April 29-STOCKS-
Shippings were the foremost features at
the opening of todays stock market, over
shadowing such recent favorites as rails
and oils. Gains in Atlantic Gulf. Pacific
Mail and Marines ranged from fraction
to points. Further buying served to
strengthen Texas company and Sinclair
while hide and leather preferred enhanced
yesterdays substantial rise but Royal
Dutch and Mexican petroleum were dis
tinctly heavy. United States steel moved
within small fraction of yesterdays final
price. Sugars were among the most active
and strongest of the specialties.
Interest continued to center in shippings
and oils altho the irregularity of the latter,
due to further pressure upon Mexican pc
troleum and Royal Dutch, created some
confusion. Atlantic Gulf extended its adj
vantage to over points, Pacific Mail gain
ed Az and Sinclair oil , points before
the usual realizing movement effected mod
crate reversals. Demand for sugars resulted
i'll 3 point gain for Cuban American
and point for South Porto Rico. Utilities
were strong on prospective returns of tele-
phone and telegraph companies to private
ownership. L. S. steel developed a strong
tone at midday, secondary rails also COM
ing forward.

Of the road.
Nor are the farmers deserving of
particular credit for their proven at
a government minimum placed on the
price of wheat-a minimum unheard
AVID undreamed of two years ago-and
with the government minimum many
cents less than the market price, the
farmers seem to feel that the city man
is the only one who is charged with
paying the price of the war. Chair
man Burrow, of the Shawnee county
liberty loan committee, was slightly
put out at this attitude on the part
of the farmers today. He pointed out
that the farmer is the one single class
of producer who has had his products
the ground and sold at price which
assured him e handsome profit for
his work.
cit seems" Burrow said, that with
these conditions true, the farmer
should be able to subscribe heavily to

necessary to borrow the money to pay

Orlando is scheduled to go before
the italian parliament at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon to ask support of
the policies followed by his govern

from the peace conference over the
question of annexation of Fiume.
Unverified reports are in circula-

the controversy and ask parliament
to choose between them.
The entire nation is tensely awaiting

STATE Line "LOST"
War Unites Kansas and Missouri
Jealousy Gone.

Newport News, April 29.-The folks
back home might as well get wise" to
one thing-this thing about the row
and feud and feeling OF jealousy be-
tween Kansas and Missouri that the
politicians love to tell of is at an end.
1t was hand d down from Civil war
days. So war has ended it. 1t was
buried there in the Argonne forest,
where the Kansans and Missourians
fought and died together in the 35th
division. AS far as the thousands of
soldiers who are coming back are con-
cerned. the state line might as well not
be there.
OF course. they're still Missourians
and still Kansans. but they pull to-
gether and there is no such thing as
state jealousy among the soldiers. This
was brought home in the most en-
phatic fashion today. Two Missouri
colonies were standing on the dock
watching the last transport carrying
35th division men come to dock They
were Col. Bennett Clark and Lieut..
Col. "Curley" Ristine. Ristine is the
old Missouri university football star,
and many time he has given the
Jayha wkers a soaking on McCook or
Rollins fields.
'Do you know 1 could bring myself
to cheer those Kansans, even if they
should win the next game see" Ris-
tine said. TT might go hard if my
football spirit was up, but I'd have to
yell for them, if not quite so loud as
for NJ. u, just for the thousands of
fine Kansans we fought with and lived
with and went thru everything imagin-
able with over there. They are the
real goods
Yes" said Colonel Clark, 1.-THE old
state feud is gone. If anyone tries to
start it again in the lifetime of the
35th division men, what trouncing
he will get from the men of both
states It's a thing of the past now.
Henceforth young men from the two
states will pull very much together if
L don't miss my guess"
When you meet a bunch of Kansans
it is the same story. The Kansans talk
about the Missourians being fine fell
lows.
