Chicago Produce Market
Chicago, May a.

Chicago. May H.-LP.
In nervous, rapidly fuctuating
market today, wheat finished irregular.
1sc net lower to &c advance. Heavy
selling, which at one time caused four
cents break in the price of May wheat,
suggested to some observers move
to check further shipments from other
markets to Chicago in time for deliv-
cry on May contracts here. Corn
closed to 1c up, oats unchanged to
a@4c higher and provisions unchang-
ed to 10c down.
Reports that wheat was being ship
ped to Chicago from Omaha tended to
induce selling of May wheat here, and
SO, too. did indications that shipments
to this city from points east of here
were to be expected If tempting re-
turn in the May price here should
warrant. Much of the selling of May

difference between the two months

pected that wheat from Duluth will
be available on delivery here during
the next few days. Meanwhile there

offerings of wheat on track here met
with only a poor demand, and pre-
miums for spot delivery were IL to &c

American and Canadian northwest
were bearish factor early. but later
the prospect was for fair and warmer
weather and the moisture supply was
still said to be inadequate.
Commission house buying lifted corn

sence of any pressure to sell made the
corn market quickly respond. A good

come from the east.
Provisions went lower with hogs.

over $500 PARADE
STREETS FRIDAY
IN SAFETY MOVE

The greatest exhibition of the pub
lie spirit of the school children of this
city and Winslow took place yesterday
afternoon when members of the Safety
Club. numbering between $500 and
5000, paraded the business section of
the city. At the termination of the
parade in City Hall Square prizes in
the club contest were awarded Eliza
beth Taylor Of the South Grammar
school and Florence Lewis of the Myr-
tie Street school by Mayor Herbert C.
Libby.
The children marched in school
groups and in the line of march We're
little youngsters who took two steps
to every one that the Junior high
school contingents. In but one instance
the school children turned out in fine
manner, and this was at the Water
Vile Senior High school, where II
girls did their best to uphold the pres
tige Of the more than 800 boys and
girls who attend the school.
The marchers formed shortly after
o'clock in the vicinity of Post Office
Square and the parade was under way
at 4.25. First came platoon of po-
lice under command of Deputy Mar
shall Albert Thibodeau. The Colby
College band played music of a most
spirited nature and its presence swas
much appreciated. Following the band
came the color guard Of the George N.
Bourque Post of the American Lagoon
with the Waterville troops of the Boy
Scouts Of America after them. The
big Waterville Safety Club banner
was borne by students from the Junior
high school and next in line were the
school children. A second color guard
in the parade was that Of Co. G Of the
National Guard.
The line Of march was down Main
street to SILVER street to Spring street,
down Elm to Temple street, down
Temple street to Main and down Main
to City Hall Square. Outside of the
first Defense Day parade held in Wa
terville, that of yesterday was in all
probability the longest ever held in
the city. More than seven minutes
was required for 1t to pass a certain
point and when the foremost marchers
were well UP onto Elm street the last
attachments were just leaving the
starting point. Standing on lower
Main street and looking up, the parade
made a sight which is seldom seen.
Arriving in City Hall Square, the

marchers were massed about the front
entrace of the city building for the
awarding of prizes, and this In itself
was a considerable task. But the chill
dren lived up to the spirit of safety to
the last letter and it was carried out
in an orderly way.
The first speaker was II. c. Marden,
chairman of the American Legion COM
mittee which was largely instrumental
in the formation of the club. In in
Producing DR.. Libby, Mr.. Marden told
the history of the club and it's purpose.
He said that the parade marked the
climax in the clubs life, and he urged
that the children always be careful"
so that Waterville might be "a better
community"
Presentation of Prizes
DR.. Libby before he awarded the
prizes told of q number of instances
which he had observed and in which
children had nearly lost their lives
through their carelessness. That very
morning, he said, needless boy would
have lost his life had it not been for
the quick thinking of Walter McAlary
of this city, who snatched the child
from the patch of an oncoming auto
mobile. 1t was a great pleasure to him
to present the prizes.
The awards, Ever-ready pencils.
were donated to the committee by
James Fl. Allen, proprietor of the Allen
drug store. Florence Lewis of the
Myrtle Street school was the winner
Of one of the prizes as she was the
first to guess what the three letters
A B c." on the club button stood for.
which is Always Be Careful "a
Better Community" was deenA1, the
best slogan submitted by mem<Sr of
the club and for this Elizabeth TaNor
of the South Grammar school was
awarded the. other prize.
At this point the program of the aft
ernoon was to have ended, but such did
not prove to be the case. Somehow in
the youthful minds the rumor had
arisen that there was to be a free
moving picture provided them and
there was a grand rush for the choice
seats. A large part of this was con-
centrated on the first entrance and
when the flooring of the porch had
been pounded by hundreds of feet it
was seen to be sagging and some
thought it was in danger of caving in
After time the incoming children
were stopped and the porch was closed
to traffic.
BY the time that the excitement
outdoors had subsidized the Opera
House was crowded to the doors and
the youngsters We're not hasty tc
realize that there had been no plans
for an entertainment.
The Safety Club was originated by
the American Legion and it was
formed by it with the cooperation
of the police, the school department
and the Waterville Sentinel. 1t was
modelled after similar organizations
in cities in Massachusetts and Its
purpose is to impress upon the
minds of the children the fact that
they should at all times be thinking
of the safety of themselves and OF
others.
Today will be the club tag day
to raise funds for defraying the ex-
penses of it's formation and to pay
for the badges with which the men,
bers were provided. The different
schools will each be represented by
a team and tn personnel of the teams
is as follows:
