KANSAS RAINS
LEAD TO LOWER
wheat PRICES

Chicago. March 7.-Rains south
west, especially in Kansas. where
there was particular need Of mois-
ture, led to lower prices today for
wheat. Country offerings. how
ever, remained light, and European
political news was disturbing to
the bears. As q result, sellers be-
came less numerous after the ini-
tial trading, and the market rallied.
Opening prices, which ranged from
Nc to 1Ac lower, with March $1.7O
to $1.61 to $1.61x, were followed
by moderate further setbacks, and
then by upturns to somewhat above
the range at the start.
Word that the allies would in
fiict penalties on Germany failed to
lift prices. Instead, proposed
military action on the part
of the allies was given bearish
construction by numerous traders
in the late dealings. The close was
heavy, 2xc to 3hc, net lower, with
March 1.s71a and May 1.59 "a

In the last part of the day corn

ward. The close was unsettled,
Nc to sc net lower, with May
70Hc to Tic.
Corn swayed with wheat. There
was a good demand from the sea-
board. After opening unchanged to
nc lower, including May Tic to
71Ac, the market sagged a little
further, and then rallied to about
Saturdays finish.
Oats paralleled the action of 9TH
er cereals, starting a shade to Nc
OF, May ACC and weakened a trifle
more previous to taking the up
grade.
Lower quotations on hogs had a
depressing effect on provisions.

GARDENING FOR
1921 EXPECTED

According to present indications
1921 will take the honors for the
number of home gardens in Nc
line.
W. c. Wilson, garden expert, and
during the war special adviser to
amateur gardeners, today said that
he has already had scores of ap-
plicants for land to be used for
In the years 1917, 1918 and 1919,
gardening was carried on partly
as fad and partly because of the
need for food conservation in Amer
lea. But this year it is different.
Garden experts and men who are
in contact with the unemployment
situation declare that gardening
this year is going to be a business,
solely for the purpose Of supply
ing food for the family table.
The majority of applicants for
vacant lots to be used as gardens
come from men without jobs. If
these men continue to be without
Jobs this spring and summer they
are going to devote a large part OF
their time to growing beans, car
rots. tomatoes, potatoes, peas, corn
and anything else that will serve as
food.
1t is highly probable that in the
next few weeks a movement to
place all vacant lots available for
gardening at disposal Of the I'M
employed will be started in Mo-
line.
The city administration and
manufacturers will be asked to CO.
operate both in obtaining land and
blowing it.

BUREAU MOVIE
ON SATURDAY
DRAWS CROWD
Sponsored BY County Farm Organ
ixation in Attempt to Organize
Junior Calf Cluh

A splendid crowd was in attend
ance at the free movie and lee
ture given at the Aledo opera house
last Saturday afternoon under the
auspices of the farm bureau for
the purpose Of arousing interest in
dairy work in Mercer county and
in organizing q boys and girls
calf club.
Professor Rhodes Of the Univers-
ity of Illinois, who was to have
given the lecture, was unable to
be present. P. r. Lovett of the
university, who spoke in his place,
gave a short talk proceeding the
movie in which he told Of the prof.
it in dairying end of the reasons
why the farmer of today could turn
his place into dairy farm. The
chief argument advanced by him
was that the dairy business furn-
ished work the year around for
hired help. that the selling Of cream
gave more profit than any other
farm product and that 80 per cent
of the feed used was returned 10
the soil as fertilizer.
A. R. Kemp, assistant farm adj
wiser of Mercer county, gave a
short talk, during which he point
ed out that it was not the aim OF
the farm bureau to make every
farmer in the county a dairyman,
but that it was attempting to
arouse interest in the work. AS
far as the records show Mercer
county has but one dairy farmer.
He is C. W. Bridgeford Of Millers-
burg township, who has successful
ly operated his farm as a dairy
for a number of years. Mr.. Bridge
ford employs three men the year
around. From II to "a pure bred
Jersey cows make up the herd and
the cream is sold at Galesburg, be-
ing shipped daily. The SKINNED
milk is used as feed for the pigs
raised on the farm. All the feed
for the stock is also raised on the
farm.
The movie. a five reel film, feat
uring May Irwin, proved to be en-
tertaining and instructive. Many
scenes from the Jersey Cattle club
headquarters in New York were
shown. The plot of the picture was
based on the rebuilding of the non
productive farm by the establish
ing of pure bred Jersey herd. The
dairy business soon paid off the
mortgage on the farm and enabled
the farmers son to wed the lady OF
his choice and to visit the Jersey
club at New York on their honey
moon.
H. X. Walter Of the University oil
Illinois, who is organizing Junior
clubs throughout the state, gave an
interesting talk after the film. He
discussed the work of calf clubs
in other counties.

MATHEWS SAYS
NATION SHOULD.
HOLD TO IDEALS
Dean Of University Of Chicase
Scheol Gives Address Sunday
At Moline 7. n. C. A.

Americans must learn what arc
their ideals before they can Judge
whether they are worth keeping.
said shaler Mathews, dean Of the
divinity school, University Of Chi
cago, in his address at the Moline
Y mems meeting yesterday after
noon.
Dean Mathews, who chose as his
subject, American Ideals-Are
They Worth Keeping" included in
his remarks q general outline OF
things for which America stands.
America stands for law" he
said, land for the observance of
law. We believe that the nation
should be guided by definite stand
ards and we make the laws conform
to these standards. If We do no.
like a law, we have the privilege Of
changing it, but we must obey it
while it is law.
America is an open country. Any
inhabitant can become a citizen if
he so desires. One Of Americas ele-
mental principles is that citizenship
shall not be exclusive, and in this
way we have set the pace for the
rest of the world.
1.-The United States has a written
constitution by which it protects it.
self against encroachments of gov
eminent and against hysterical
change, which is often dangerous.
Take Emma Goldman, for instance.
She spent much Of her time here in
United States prisons. She reviled
the country, and was sent to Rus
STA. She now says it is better to be
a Jail inmate in the United States
than to be free woman in Russia.
During the last 100 years, 1000
amendments to the constitution
have been proposed. Nineteen have
been accepted, proof positive Of the
steadying effect Of the constitution.
Primary among American ideals
! is that of religious freedom and
America was the first nation to en-
joy such freedom. 1t was the de-
sire for this freedom that led many
early settlers to our shores. Her re-
ligious background is one of the
reasons for Americas greatness and
for the worthiness Of her ideals"
I Dean Mathews had to leave on
the 4:40 train yesterday afternoon
for Chicago, whence he goes i'm
: mediately to the east to deliver a
series of lectures on the same sub.
ject that he treated yesterday.
