Chicago, Dec. 19.--Dealings in corn
were light today and the market was
erratic. Local operators opposed ad
vances, but there was support on dips,
which resulted in rallies when sellers
tried to cover.
1t was reported that Canada and New
England buyers were reselling the cash
article, the demand for which showed
less snap.
Offerings from the country were freer
and this was taken as an indication that
primary holders were more anxious to
sell. Cars remain scarce, however, and
the meagerness of the supplies that are
available for delivery on December con-
tracts continued to initiate against the
bcarsA
TlV latter had the help of an un-
favorable foreign exchange market and
sales of 100000 bushels of Argentina
corn in the United States.
Oats also were erratic. The start
was easier under selling by wire houses
and pit traders, influenced by the posi-
tion of foreign exchange and the indif-
ference of exporters.
Later there was a rally with good
class of buying noted, houses with sea
board connections and local bulls fur
nishing support. Gains were not main
tanned.
Offerings from the country were
little more liberal.
Leading futures ranged as follows

BUY WAR sAvIN0: STAMPS.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1919-10-17

The following is taken from facts
presented by the War Savings Or
g~anization in Minneapolis which is
being used in the Treasury Saving
Certificate campaign now on. The
certificates are an investment Of
500 or $1,000 denominations
which may be purchased at the Post
Offices or at banks. Every one
realizes the benefits of thrift. but
not everyone gives this matter
serious consideration until it is too
late.
Every successful business is OPP
Grated on a budget system. The
lack of a budget system in your
personal and domestic affairs is
what plays such havoc with your
finances and makes it SO difficult to
save. There is no reason why the
individual should not operate his
or her financial affairs just as
Systematically as the business en-
terprise or corporation. Many
families and individuals are today
adopting the budget system, figur-
ing their weekly or monthly in
come and carefully estimating just
