no frost until Sept. 80, December and
May corn might sell at $1.10 to $l.lo.
Below $1.10 we are not bearish. For
the week ending Sept. Is we advise
purchases Of corn and oats on the
dips. We figure the wheat strength
may be maintained and the frost
chance not be a bearish factor until
after Sept. 25. In other words, the
bears will not sell corn until the crop
is nearly out Of danger. In case OF
frost we believe 10 per cent upturn
in December and May corn Will meet
the situation. It will be difficult to es'
tablish corn above $3.50 unless cars
are very scarce in the early winter.

Gov. Frank o. Lowden's great rec
ord as war executive of Illinois has
made him one Of the leading candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for president. 1t is Il story of admin
istrative achievements. Every pledge
to the people has been redeemed.
Despite high prices and unsettled
conditions due To the war, Gov. Low
den, by the practical application Of
business methods to the management
of the states affairs, reduced the tax
rute in Illinois 33 per cent in two
years. His friends are certain that he
can do for the nation what he has
done for Illinois in the matter of good
government and lower taxes if he is
given the opportunity.
When Governor Lowden assumed Of
flee as executive of Illinois in Jahu-
airy, 1917, the state treasury was prac-
tically bankrupt. There was only $500
to the credit of the general fund,
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts was to
abolish many political jobs by COM
bining the work of 12o different de-
partments and bureaus into nine COM
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt budget
system Which he thought would be u
model for other cOmmOnwealths He
placed business men and trained eX-
perts in charge of each of these de-
partments with gratifying results to
the taxpayers.
| The cost of conducting the state
government was reduced hundreds Of
| thousands of dollars year while the
| quality of service to the public showed
IL marked improvement. The effects
of business administration in the
state were manifest in II short time.
The state gradually built up cash
balance and was able 10 discount it's
| bills.
! AS a practical illustration of what
good government means it is officially
estimated that Illinois will have a
cash balance of $9,S77,225 on hand
July 1, 1920, in spite of reduction of
33 per cent in the tax rate. This is
what Gov. Lowden's business adminis-
tration has done for Illinois.
In addition to these things Gov.
Lowden succeeded in accomplishing
these concrete results:
| Began work on the states $GO,OO0,-
600 good roads system. Two hundred
miles of good road were built last year.
One thousand miles will be completed
in 1920.
Authorized the beginning of work on
the last link of the states system of
waterways, which will connect the
Great Lakes with the Mississippi river
Obtained needed tax reforms for the
people.
ReorganiZed the states penal and
charitable institutions on a humane
LASTS.
Brought about constitutional con
vention for Illinois, which is now in
session forming new basic law fol
the state.
Friends of Gov. Lowden believe that
actions speak louder than words, and
they point to his public record as ev;'
dence that he is the type of man need
ed for president in this critical period
of the conntry's history.
