Banking Position Is Strong
For New York Oncning

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-(A P0-
Aside from a general strengthening of
the banking position, as indicated by
returns to the federal reserve board,
the week in the stock market opened
with no visible change.
The adverse transportation situation
was attested by further decrease OF
railway tonnage. there being more idle
freight cars on the principal roads, ac-
cording to authoritative statements,
than at any period in the last decade.
Improvement in grain prices created
a more cheerful sentiment at western
and southwestern agricultural centers
but this was offset by wage reductions,
suspended dividends and evidence of
diminishing investment demand. In
the final hour shorts rushed to cover
as buying orders appeared in the un-
usual favorites. Mexican Petroleum,
Baldwin Locomitive, Studebaker and
Atlantic Golf at net gains of two to
four points contributed mainly to the
strong close. L. S. steel also was con-
spicuous. Sales 100000 shares. O
In the money market all. call loans
held at seven per cent on the exchange.
but easedtfully one per cent in private
offerings. British and other leading
foreign remittances were better, eX-
cept Scandinavian rates.
Liberty bonds were irregular, the
3 rs displaying further heaviness.
Most other domestic and foreign issues
were without definite trend on mod
crate turnover. Sales, par value, $12,-
$50, 900.

broadening of Corn Demand
Bulls All Chicago Grains

CHICAGO, Feb. Broadening of
demand for corn had bullish effect
today on grain. Wheat closed strong,
AZ TO 8 Y net higher. with March
l.70A to 1.7OIA and May 1.59, ito 1.59
x. Corn gained S-S TO and oats
l u to l 5-SG1A. In provisions there
vas an advance of 15G35c.
Wheat quickly responded to the
stimulus from the corn pit, notwith-
standing that the initial tendency in
wheat had been to sag. Announce
ment that there had been 100000
bushels of corn taken for export gave
emphasis to opinions that with hogs
at present prices current quotations on
corn were too low and that the huge
corn crop would be readily absorbed.
Then came fresh reports from the
winter wheat belt indicating prospec-
tive crop damage from green bugs as
far north as central Illinois.
March at the top for the day showed
q 1-2c advance as compared with
the lowest recent level.
Country offerings of corn were
small. 1t was said a majority of rural
roads were in bad condition. and that
hauling had been restricted. The
strength Of oats was chiefly borrowed
from corn.
Higher quotations on hogs helped
to lift provisions.

HOW U. S. DIVIDES TAX FUND
Biggest Hole in Dollar, SO Cents, lie
Made for Past Wars, Says Blu.
reau Chief.

shington.-Herbert D. Brown,
chief Of the United States bureau of

of appropriations of congress for this
fiscal year, just where each dollar of
taxes paid by citizens of the United
States goes. Here is how Mr.. Brown
works 1t out:
Out of each dollar of taxes paid the
government expends for past wars in
Guiding pensions, compehsations, in
terest on the public debt and expenses
incident to federal control of railroads,
6S cents, for present defense. army
and navy and Notifications, 20 cents !;
FOR peace time activities, excluding the
pOstofIice department, which is virtu-
ally self-suppOrting. IL cents.
AS the appropriations for the fiscal
year are not yet completed by congress
no estimate concerning them can be
made, but Mr.. Brown believes the pro-
portions above indicated will not vary
more than a few cents.

In sad but loving remembrance Of
our dear son, Woodrow Wilson Bish-

ago today, April %, 1920.
The last farewell was said,
One year ago today,
The family circle broken,
When Woodrow passed away.
Oh! how hard we tried to save him.
But our cares were all in vain,
Angels came and took him from us,
With the Saviour, free from pain.
In little snow white casket,
Resting all among the flowers,
Lies our little brown eyed darling,
Who such a little time was ours.
OFT | wander to the graveyard,
Flowers to place, with tenderest care,
On the grave of our darling,
Who is sleeping peacefully there.
Sleep on dear Woodrow, sweetly rest,
We need you, but God knew best,
Gods will be done, He doeth well,
Put how we miss you here, no tongue
cam tell.
Death claimed our little darling,
Put a seal upon his brow,
In the arms Of our dear Saviour.
WoodrcM's sleeping sweetly now.
