Even modest men hesitate to hide
their past if it's going to get them any
thing in the present.
What man says he does ASA mat
ter of principle, often is really done
as matter of of prejudice.
There is kind of man, not many of
him, it is true, who is so anxious to give
everybody fair deal that he overlooks
himself until it's too late.
The world may roughly be divided
into two classes-those who know a
great deal and don't know that they do,
and those who know practically nothing
and are always mentioning it.
Of all motives for committing an act,
revenge is the worst.
Charity to yourself suggests that you
speak well of others, even when you
don't wish to.

All men may be created equal but

You will notice that most tightwads
are not tight with themselves.
Charlevoix county herald., 1920-11-19

Fire is no respecter of persons. 1t
has neither sentiment nor qualms OF
conscience. The young and beautiful,
the rich, the poor, the sweet infant or
the decrepit grandmother, are alike its
victims. The safest way to combat it is
to practice care and cleanliness at all
times. Every individual cleanup daily
habit, every community cleanup week,
are effectual enemies of both fire and
disease.

A good many bachelors love children
just like good many men like auto
mobiles-because they don't have to
take care of them.

People will be sympathetic if you
make an occasional mistake, provided
you don't make that an excuse for
more of them.

CORN MARKET DEPRESSED
BY BEARISH FORECASTS

CHICAGO, February 21.-Corn slid
down farther in price today, owing
more or less to bearish forecasts Of
the governments coming report on
farm reserves. The close was heavy,
l to ia net lower, with May. 1907
to 1908 and July 1.27ts to 1.27&
oats lost asa y to z and provisions
- to 40.
Except for brief interval soon
after the opening, bears had the ad-
vantage in the corn market through
out the session. 1t was said that the
government report soon to be issued
would show an unusually large total
of feed grain still undisposed of by
growers. This gossip apparently gave
fresh emphasis to selling pressure.
due to belief that the federal grain
corporation had started to llquidate
big holdings of wheat and flour that
seemed likely to have no foreign mar
ket. Contrary announcements of pos
sible renewal of flour buying on the
part of the government tended tenn
porarily to stimulate a little demand
from shorts in the corn market, and
so, too, did the canceling OF freight
restrictions east of Chicago. No other
support developed. however, and the
close was near the lowest level OF
the day.
Demand, except from shorts. was
lacking. and the market underwent
material sag in the final dealings.
lower, with May 1904 to 1903 and
July 1878 to 1.27A.
Oats weakened with corn.
Provisions were depressed by the
grain decline and the poor outlook for
export business.

from last week, there is a wide range

wide difference in the prices obtain
able for them. The average run of
big young chickens will not bring
much more than old fowls. but includ-
ed in the daily receipts are some small
winter chickens weighing around two
pounds apiece, and such stock is
bringing an attractive premium.
Heavy, fat old hens are constantly
sought after.
Ducks and geese continue in light
supply, good demand noted for large,
fat stock, but small. poor birds not
wanted. Turkey market shows little
life, the receipts being ample and
the demand slow. Pigeons and guinea
fowl continue in light receipt. Fat,

There is not much life to the de-

ample for trade wants. The average
run Of dressed chickens showing

LONDON. February 21.-Great Brit
ain is fundamentally sound. both

differences in he.tinaDcial position of
Great Britain and the continental
European countries. The chamber eX-
presses the belief that the recent

change makes it particularly deSlra-
bic that the best opinions on each

leaders of British finance. illuminate
largely by the address of the CHAIR
men of five leading British banks to
their stockholders in annual meeting.
the chamber of commerce has pre-
pared a message 10 the American
business pubic.
Text of the Message.
The message reads as follows:
The collapse of the pound sterling
in New York is no index to Great
Britain's financial strength or weak
ness. London is today, as before
the war. the monetary center of
Europe. With INADEQUATE assistance
from American credit in Europe,
Great Britain has been forced to sup
ply the credit needs of the continent
as we'll as those of her own traders.
"Dollar exchange is really New
York Europe not New York-London'
exchange. Great Britain is neither
bankrupt nor anywhere near ii. al
though her external debt is larger
than ever before in her history. This
debt was incurred mainly to supply
the needs of her continental allies.
and she is owed approximately twice
as much as she owes America. w hlle
America may fairly expect TO collect
all her British debt, Great Britain is
preparing to write off 80. per cent of
her continental debt
Sound in Business aud Finance.
"In spite of these acts. British bust
ness and finance are in a fundamental
" sound condition. Business men and
workers are recovering from the de-
moralizing effects of the war. Their
customary energy is reviving and
British factories are increasing their
output According to estimates made
public by one bank chairman the pres
ent wears exports will produce
profit of from 81 900 coo. 600 to $1,000
600. 900 The expression We are
rounding the corner is now heard on
all sides. Neither British bankers nor
the British government expects or
asks further government or lonS-tefm
