ment due largely to the passage of the Edge

and May s1.35H to $1-3534 were followed
by moderate further upturns before the
market sagged.
The close was nervous. 1s4c to SIC net
higher with January $1.403s to S1.40A and
May s1.36B to $1.37
OATS-In the oats market heavy realiz-
ing prevented any display of strength
After opening Ae off to a like advance,
including May at S3c to s3Ssc. the market
underwent a slight general decline.
PROVISIONS = Notwithstanding higher
quotations on hogs, provisions averaged
lower.
Subsequently, pork scored a decided up
turn, but lard and ribs continued depressed.

ships between the million miners in

meeting of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers held here today
How to prevent illness among min

the meeting. DR.. A. j. LAMA. chief
Of the United States division of in
duStriaI hygiene, urged that physical
examinations of miners be conducted
BY state authorities. He declared that
the first step in the prevention of ILL.,
ness is to obtain employees who are
in sound health and free from or
gAnic disease. The number of men
working underground in mines in this
country whose physical condition to-
tally units them for such presents a
situation which, / believe, is not

sian bolsheviki have a well equipped
and disciplined army of one million

DR.. Mitchell has just filed his report

The eravest danger to the boishevik

continue in power indefinitely, is the
conclusion reached by Or. Mitchell
Allies Assistance Needed.
IF the bolsheviki can hold control
until the end of February they will
probably carry on for another twelve
MONTHS he said. In spite of the
fact that I am not a bolshevik, I do
not believe it is possible for any non
bolsheviR party or ombination to
overthrow the bolsheviki without q
very liberal allied assistance. But the
boisheviki have no right in Poland
Should the allies take control from
the boisheviki and hand il over to

seriously whether these other parties
could keep peace among themselves
for more than few months
THE thing that akes the Russian
situation 50 difficult is the fact that
the Russian peasant and the Russian
workman will not fulfill his usual OBJ
legations or carry on his work. He is
lazy, selfish and refuses to espouse
the cause of either the bolshevik or
the non bolshevik. know this to be
true in the conflict between the boil

SEND THEM TO SEE
SILVER SPRINGS

On the way to breakfast this morn
ing, we saw a car from Kansas City,
filled with a bunch of nice-looking
folks They did not look as unap-
Proachable as some tourists, so we
stepped up and gave them the howdy-
do The pilot of the car asked for
some information, and showed US a
map, which was about as reliable as
one of those railroad maps of the
long ago, which showed the traveller
that the P. d. Q. & Comeback was
from hundred to a thousand miles
shorter than any other line.
Not seeing Silver Springs on the
map, we asked the tourists if they
had ever heard Of them. They had
not, and were surprised to know that
they were in six miles of the biggest
clearwater spring in the world.
They wanted to know the best
route to Lakeland. We advised them
to go to Leesburg, and also told them
how to find Silver Springs and when
we last saw them they were travelling
in that direction.
What we want to impress on our
people is that whenever they gee auto
tourists in town they should try to
induce them to visit Silver Springs
If the tourists take the advice, they
will be glad; if they do not, nobody
will be sorry. Tell them it is only
twelve miles over a good road and il
will cost them nothing but the gasO-
line to make the trip.

o'clock, when Miss Elaine Albury and

The groom is the youngest son of
this city. He was machinist during
the war, with the naval reserve force
