MARKET NEWS
CHICAGO.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

! Chicago. March l0.-Cocn jumped
! in price today mainly as the result Of
a statement by Director General
Hoover of the inter-Altied relief or
g~anizauon tina, there WAS a possibility
Of the cos. of wheat reaching as high
as $3.50 a huShel. Besides. the big
snowfall and the warm temperatures
prevailing were said to have put coun-
try roads into bad shape and TO have
made deliveries from farms extremely
difficult. Buying was on a large
scale and the offerings limited. Open
ing prices which ranged from SIS to
3 cents higher with May $1.SS to
1874 and July $1.27 SIS to 1.29, were
followed by decided further gains.
Oats advanced sharply with corn.
After opening IA to l "a higher.
with May 62@5-S, the market con-
tinued to ascend.
Provisions, like grain. went sky
ward. Maximum upturns came quick.
Shorts covered freely, but on the
extreme advance there was some pres
sure from recent buyers.
Bullish sentiment was increased
by, the Allied agreement to feed Ger
many. Profit-taking. however. led
to something of a reaction. The close
was firm. SIS to 41-2 cents net
higher. with May 1855 3zS to 1913 1-2
and July 1.29 1-2 to ga.

ing the ribbon that tells of his service.
He comes back wearing his service
stripes, the bits of cloth that tell,
each bit, of six months spent in the
greatest hell in the worlds history,
the old western front. Every soldier
honorably discharged from the SER
vice wears upon his left sleeve two
scarlet chevrons, the size and shape
of those given for service given
abroad.
These are honorable badges, every
one of them. But are they any more
honorable than the Liberty Bond
button worn on the coat lapel Of the
civilian who stayed at home and made
up the "Army Of the Home Front. ?"
All these badges and chevroDs, these
buttons and stripes tell of honorable
sacrifice and service. The difference
in degree Of sacrifice and service is
in favor of the fighting man in most
cases but without the loyal backing
at home the army would have never
left the home port of debarkation.
The man who bought Liberty Bonds
and backed up the hosts in khaki
made possible Chateau hierry, Can
tigny, st. Mihiel and the Woods Of
Argonne. Without him there would
have been no sweeping through
Grand Pre-, no second battle Of Sc
dan, no turning back Of the Hun
rush at the second battle Of the
second battle Of the Marine.
Take pride in your Liberty Bond
Button. Wear it and keep it. It is
decoration that for the civilian
takes rank with the service stripes Of
the overseas men. Those Of the Fifth
Liberty Loan are just as magnifi-
cent and just as important as those
of the earlier loans. They tell the
same story of service Of 100 per cent
