CHICAGO GRAIN
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November IA rush Of
buying orders hoisted corn quickly to-
day to we'll above the seasons top
price records, up about 4 cents
bushel overnight, the extreme per-
mLssible limit for "a hours.
Most OF the gain in corn values was
on December contracts, where the first
big pinch would be felt regarding
shortage of supplies to meet specula-
tive future deliveries. Professional
traders believed to have been previous
sellers of December led the buying of
that month. Meanwhile. the Kansas
City corn market displayed even
greater strength at times than was
shown here
Bulls in corn contended that hav-
ing regard to the one-way character
istic of the corn market, higher prices
were still indicated despite the ad.
vance. 1t was pointed out that Begin
ming in November. 1884, corn ad-
ranced nearly 20 cents in little over
a month. Assertions were current that
the rural urge now to keep corn is
probably much more intense than in
1884, whereas the need Of corn in
commercial channels is vastly greater
Wheat, rye, oats and provisions all
borrowed strength from corn. Wheat
climbed more than a cent, influenced
partly by reports of rain in sections Of
Argentina, where moisture is not
wanted now.
Around 1l:15 am, corn was 2ss -41s
cents higher, compared with yester-
days finish. December. 1.o41s: May

PLANS MADE TO
TAKE CARE OF
AQUARIUM HERE
SALT WATER FRCM NAVAL
STATION TO BE USED;
POWER BILLS TO BE MET
BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION

Salt water from the supply at
the naval station will be used to
furnish water for the aquarium
tanks and funds to Fay the cleo
trio light and power bills are to
be raised by public subscription.
This was the decision arrived at
following a meeting jointly held
last night with members of the
city council, the local planning
board and the aquarium board
in city hall and this morning in
the office of WPA Director Thorn
as D. Orr.
At the meeting last night the
matter was gone into in every de-
tail. 1t was pointed out that no
electricity for either light or pow
er would be furnished unless pay
ments OF bills was assured. 1t was
shown that Miss Ileen Williams,
member of the aquarium board,
had donated $40 toward the fund.
Discuss Expense
II was at this junctEre that the
question of cutting down the bills
at the aquarium was discussed and
Lieutenant William Klaus, U. S.
N, in command at the naval sta
ton, offered to supply the water
for the tanks, from the salt water
supply in the naval station, and
this would decrease the use of
current sufficiently to reduce the
sum of the monthly bills and
make it easy to meet the future
indebtedness.
To put this proposition in eff
feet it would be necessary to
have some changes made in the
piping, and it was suggested that
a committee meet Y Ith Mr.. Orr
this morning and discuss the plan
with him.
Accordingly a committee con-
sisting OF the mayor, C. E. Smith,
b. Curry Moreno, F. E. Albert,
B. c. Papy, Roy Goodman, w. E.
Huston and Mrs. Robert Spots
wood and Lieutenant Klaus, met
! in the office OF Mr.. Orr this morn
ing and plans were worked out
whereby the necessary changes in
the pipe lines from the naval sta
ton would be made to connect
with the aquarium and a suffi-
cient supply under the required
pressure would be available at all
times.
F.! Explains Program
! After the meeting Lieutenant
: Klaus called at The Citizen office
and explained the program. He
also said it was decided to ask
that, for the maintenance Of the
aquarium throughout the summer
public spirited citizens donate q
small sum each month to make
up, the sum of between $35 and
$40 imonthly, to pay the light and
power bills.
4: Miss Williams, in the absence
of Mrs A. r. Miller, will receive
the monies donated, record kept
and each citizens donation cred
tied to his OF her name as the case
may be. 1t was said that several
have come forward already anC
there is no reason to suppose there
will be any hesitancy on the part
of others who have an interest il
the city and the continuance OF
the aquarium, to freely give then
part.
During the winter months thi:
will not be necessary as it i:
planned to do as is done in al
other cities where aquariums are
located. and that is charge a small
entrance fee. 1t is believed thai
the amount collected in this man

There is considerable sentiment
among several organized groups
against spending public money for
the Army and Navy. The idea is
advanced that the United States
faces no possible enemy and has
no need of a first class Army or
Navy and that the thing for us to
do is to let other nations compete
in the armament race. This argu-
ment finds a fertile field in the
undoubtcd peace sentiment that
exists in overwhelming strength
among all our people.

Certainly, in the near future,
the nation must make up its mind
whether it will attempt to defend
its possessions in the Pacific or to
establish Notifications and naval
bases in Guam, the Aleutian
Islands, or Samoa. and whether it
will plant submarine and air bases
at Wake, Midway. or other atolls
