EXPOSED
we will.

When we find fault we expose our faults The chronic fault-fnder is simply letting every one know that he is to blame And the man who con stantly sees great deal to be thankful for is unconsciously showing people how much they have to be thankful for in him. There is searching truth in the homely lines:
 If you want to live in the kind of q
 town
 Like the kind of a town you like, You needn't slip your clothes in grip And start on long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind. For there's nothing that's really new :; It's knock at yourself when you
 knock your town, It isn't the town-it's you.'-Ex.

GRAIN MARKETS
Caution in Grains Early, But
Small Receipts DisCour-
age Sellers.

CHICAGO, March 19-Caution on
both sides Of the market seemed to be
governing traders in corn today TO an
unusual extent. Smallness of receipts
and the unfavorable weather tended TO
prevent any radical setbacks in price.
Opening quotations, which varied from
nc decline to an equal gain, with May
$L55a to $156h and July $149la to
S.50&, We're followed by numerous
minor fluctuations. but no decided
change.
Subsequently, absence of shipping de =
mand from the East together with
opinions that the advance in values
had eliminated led to a sharp break.
The close was heavy. 31ac to 3%c net
lower. with May $l,52s to s1.52% and
July $1461s to $l,463s.
Oats like corn showed no pronounced
drift either. way, After opening SAC
off to lsc advance. including July at
79Bc to 79Ac, the market sagged a
little and then scored slight gains
Provisions were stronger but dull.
Most of the advance disappeared later
