regular rahge. wheat closed at little
change from yesterday Other grains
were stronger. Export business seem
ed to be largely In Manitobas, which
resulted in relatively stronger values
in Winnipeg than here. Milling de-
mand was reported as good in outside
markets. Scattered rain fell over the
winter wheat belt encouraged some
selling. Spreaders have been buyers
of Winnipeg May against sales on Chi
cago July. The feature in corn was
the further strength in the December
delivery, which held a slight premium
over May, The prospect is for a larg-

those who fell over there. One body of
an unidentified soldier has been
brought back and inferred with the
most impressive ceremonies ever
known In this country in front Of the
amphitheater, which represents itself
the reunion Of the sections. a physical
symbol Of which will be afforded by
the Memorial bridge.
Season after season this work is de-
layed. Some day, of course. 1t will
come. 1t is needed now. Its necessity
was plainly proved on Armistice day.
No one questions the ultimate con-
struction. And yet session after ses.
sion sees this essential enterprise laid
aside on the plea Of economy. as
though there will ever come a time
when in strictly unitarian spirit
Congress can appropriate for an art
symbol. however practical and useful.
Now Is the time to start this work.
Mr.. Mann's vision will not fade. The
vision of all others who see this Ma.
tional Capital as an inspiration to
American citizenship will not fade.
But visions win not span the Potomac.
They will not link up the two banks
and afford communication between the
capital and the great cemetery where
assuredly in the future the people will
gather in multitudes to do honor to
their dead. Let the vision be now
made a reality without further pro-
crastination.
