Chicago's Mayor Wins q. 0. p. Nomi-
nation in Mayoralty Race.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Mayor William
Hale Thompson was renominated by
the Republicans and County Clerk
Robert NJ. Sweitzer was renomlnated
by the Democrats in today's mayor
atty primaries. Both won by big
pluralities. -Four years ago Thomp-
son defeated Sweitzer by the largest
majority ever given a candidate for
mayor of Chicago.

Thompson had not only received n
plurality of about forty five thousand
over Judge Harry Olson, chief justice
OF the municipal court but had re-
ceived considerable more than both
Olson and Capt Charles e. Merriam
combined.

Gett;py Pid Of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This prepara-
ton has been in use for many years
and its value fully proven. No mat
ter what remedy you use, however,
care must be taken not to contract
n second cold before you have recov-
cred from the first one, and there Is
serious danger Of this. A man OF
middle age or older should go to bed
and stay In bed until fully recovered
II is better to stay In bed three days
at the start than three weeks later

LARGE CROP LOSSES CAUSE ADVANCES
 IN THE CHICAGOP|T
Both Corn and Oats Went to Good Gains, While Pro- visions List Held
 Up We'll
By Assocrstsd Press

Chicago, August 9-sensational crop losses shown in the government report brought about a big advance today in the price of grain and provisions. Corn closed strong, 4d61sc net higher, with September $1.94d1 .941s and December $1.561z@1 .57. Oats finished 17s@21Ac up, and provisions at a rise of 4sc to S1.50.
 Aside from an extra ordinary general reduction of 7.5 per cent of grain crops during July, the corn trade was espe- cially affected by official announcement that the probable yield of corn this sea- son would be 27,o0o,0o0 bushels less than had been predicted month ago. This cut appeared to mean that during 1919 not enough corn would be raised for domes- tic consumption, and that short supplies would therefore continue to be the rule. Bullish significance of such features of the government report seemed to become more and more evident as trading went on. Accordingly, the chief new crop month, December, took the lead in the price advance, and closed at the top most point of the day. President Will sons speech did not operate as an off set and was even construed in some quarters as an encouragement for buying.
 Oats ascended for the same reasons as corn.
 Provision were strengthened by the up- ward swing of grain and hogs and by British government communicating of all available stocks of bacon, lard and ham.
