Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Grain mar.
ket action today was merely a con-
tinuation of steady prices in dull
trade.
This stabilization Of prices and
hesitancy of market interests to take
on commitments of any greater size
than necessary for operation of their
business has characterized the trade
In recent weeks. Experts sought to
explain it by pointing to the uncer-
tainty OF the war, Official warnings
OF crisis in the near future and
inability of traders to determine
what effect the American role in the
events ahead is likely to have on
domestic prices of grains as well as
other commodities.
Furthermore, grainmen found no
announcement to long-range mar
ket activity in the farm program
Official statements suggesting Gov
eminent authorities are dissatisfied
with some features Of the program
and reports of the possibility of
ADOPTION OF other plans for farm
relief were not stimulating to mar
ket action.
Crop experts expressed doubt that
wheat was damaged by the temper
ature drop inasmuch as plants are
dormant in most areas. Rain or
snow blanketed the greater part Of
the belt. but in regions where water
stands in low lands the danger of
Ice formation smothering plants
was apparent. Precipitation in the
soft wheat belt was regarded as
beneficial. Wintry weather was re-
ported in Europe.

Stock Leaders Dip
Fractions After
Rally Attempt
Gains Of Most SteeIs,
Rails and Aircrofts
Are Wiped Out

BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-The stock
market tried to finish the week with
mild rally today, but early frac-
tional gains for most steels, rails and
aircrafts were wiped out at the close
and minor declines were we'll dis
tributed. Scattered specialties man
aged to emerge on the upside
Some buying came in on the idea
that the list, after six successive ses-
sions in which no progress had been
made an average, was entitled to q
moderate comeback.
Recovery restraint, however, still
was attributed mainly to warnings
of war dangers sounded at WASH
ington, scant inspiration from shifts
in the European conflict and lack
of definite information regarding
just what Congress may do with the
much-disputed lend-lease bill.
Financial quarters remained more
or less optimistic on industry gen.
orally, but hope here was tempered
to some extent by the thought forth
coming mounting taxes were due to
take their toll of corporation earn
ings and dividends.
While selling was light through
out the two-hour proceedings, bid
ding was equally unimpressive. The
turnover of around 25oOO0 shares
was one of the smallest in about two
months.
Stocks up fractions to a point or
so at one time or another included
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Youngstown Sheet, Santa Fe, Great

trio, Johns-Manville, United States

Why April Fools

Why has it been customary for
many centuries for people to work
of jokes on April Fools day? This
old custom probably goes far back
of the Christian era.
The capacity to laugh is one OF
the. best gifts of human nature,
People console themselves for
their disappointments by working
off jokes on the world. Social life
is kind of race to see who will
say and do the most amusing
things.
One favorite way is to see if
you can fool your friends. and for
countless years April / was the
time for such stunts.
Perhaps it is a crude old Gus
tom which the world should have
outgrown. If your small boy tells
you there is lion on the lawn, and
you look out and see only the cat,
don't get angry. Think of the sat
isfaction It gives the child to fool
a great big man.

Uncle Sam Jumps

The, dictators say. democratic
countries are not capable of swift
and effective action. Uncle Sam gave
an example of pretty fast work
when he seized Sc Italian. German
and Danish ships in one day, stat
ing there was danger of these
ships being sabotaged while lying
in United States harbors.
The smart German Nazis ap-
parently saw that if those ships
remained there in perfect con-
dition, Uncle Sam might seize
them, in case Germany decided
to make war on the United States.
So with their customary speed,
they were apparently going to put
the mout Of business in a hurry.
Uncle. Sam is not usually quick
on the trigger, but he acted quickly
this time. Those ships are still
an argument why the Nazis should
not get too smart.

The Cheering Army

Gen. George c. Marshall ofathe
United States army. in a statement
published in the. Army and Navy
Journal, says the enthusiasm of
the regular army the national
guardsmen, and the selective serv-
ice recruits, is most impressive.
+ There is something wonderful
about the enthusiasm Of numbers,
particularly when those numbers
are young men devoting i them.
selves to grand cause. The army
recruit may have felt a little dreary
when he read about the miles he
would have to walk and the load
he would have to carry. When he
gets to camp, and sees hundreds
of men doing the same thing, he
catches an infection of achieve
ment, and he wants to his part
and then some. America has little
to fear when this spirit prevails.

absolute necessity of their busi-
ness. They realize that they often
lose customers through death, re-
moval. or the attractions of COM
petitors. Hence ; they feel they
are forced to constantly find new
customers, or their business will
gradually decline.
II there is any less expensive
way Of getting such new customers
than advertising, we have never

to the whole town, and it tells the
people things about your goods

The Expectation Of Work


Thirty-threei representatives oi
nation business concerns have Wis
tied the University Of Maine this
year in search of promising young
men. They have shown a definite
liking for young men born in
Maine, on the ground that these
fellows. have learned how to work
Maine is not the only state where
this is true. This readiness tc
WORK and expectation Of working
hard is probably characteristic ol
boys from rural communities in
most parts of the country. Country
and small town life usually gives
boys more chances to work, so they
get used to it. and expect to put
in good licks of effort. " '.
This spirit is not so generally
seen in the larger cities. There
the chances for work for the aver
age boy are not SO good. There
are probably few gardens in his
neighborhood which need his
young energy, to a'pullS out the
weeds. The tiny lots of his street
usually have no law to be moved.
There are probably two score ap-
plicants for every job in a store.
The result is that the average large
and medium size city boy has not
had any, very good training on
work.
He may never have had the ex-
perience of settling down in a job
and attending to it faithfully day
after day. So it is often hard for
him when it comes time to put on
the harness of mature life, and
settle down like an old horse to
pull a load. a.....,
1t is fine thing for boy when
he approaches the end of a school
or college course if he has learned
to work, and il. he expects to do
real work, and feels competent to
do what man ca ndo. If his
mind is half the time on the ball
game in which he is to play Satur-
day, he may not take, in all the
instructions his boss gives him.
But If he has had the experience
of work during his days off and
vacations, SO that he throws him
self into it with a determination
to make good, employers say such
fellow is good stuff, and they
will go some distance to find him.

Purstlit OF MIR. Fish

The month Of April says fisl
and fishlines. to. countless men
Through the long winter they have
been dreaming about ripplinl
brooks and shimmering lakes
favorite haunts Of the finny tribe
They have mediated long and
earnestly on their successes and
failures Of former years in pursuit
of this sport they have worked
out new schemes BY which to out
wit the agile fishy brain, and have
some new tricks by which they
hope to fill the basket better than
before. p
The mysteries of fishing are a
problem never fully solved. Why
will those elusive creatures bite
one day when the conditions do
not seem Just right and next time
utterly refuse to get interested in
the most tempting worm or fly
that seems precisely suited to their
taste?
Evidently fish are willy creatures,
who by some power of instinct see
and learn things not perceptibIe
to human thought. 1t is the busi-
ness Of the fisherman to penetrate
those secret motives that animate
fish life, and tempt the wary old
swimmers that lurk in the deepest
pool. Many of them have sucked
the bait of countless hooks, and
feasted' richly without harm to
themselves. fe-i
A veteran fisherman remarks
that he could never get interested
in hunting. because he hated to
take the life of the beautiful wild
creatures. He says he has no such
feeling about fish, since he con-
siders them as essentially canni-
balls, who will eat smaller speci-
mems of their own kind, very likely
their own children.
So fishing is contest between
the wit and skill Of the sportsman,
and the instincts of creatures
which are sharp eyed and sus-
picious by long training. It is
game which delights millions of
men, and takes the minds of many
away from the cares of daily life.
Out along the, fish brooks, the air
is sweet and tranquil, and the
cares of city and town fly away
and are gone, i"ss..2'@

The Easter Answer

The~smost important question
humanity has ever put to itself is
this one closely related to the
Easter story, as to what becomes
; of human beings after fthey die
twenty-five hundred or more
years. ago, that question was stated
in the Scriptural book of Job
which asked, "If a man die, shall
Z he live againg" Every. generation
that comes on earth asks that
question.
4 Across the road of each one of
us there lies a dark, curtain be-
yond which we can not see. Many
Of us feel that we have seen through
1t, and that voices have come
from /, the prophets of the past,
which reveal the mystery behind
that dark curtain. Many feel they
have had messages from friends
who have passed beyond that evil
of mystery. ,,.
4 The Christian church has con-
sidered that it has a. full and
!; satisfactory answer, in the record
which has come down through its
Biblical historians. 1t looks to
: Jesus Christ as the worlds most
inspired leader, who, has had the
truest insight into the mysteries
of life and death. 1t trusts his
vision and confident promise that
there is life beyond the grave, and
it feels that his words are more
likely to be true than the ideas
we get from any contrary point
of view.
j So Easter comes with peculiar
note Of joy into the sadder aspects
of human life. It shows how
Jesus represented the Creator of
the world to be a God of love, and
refuses to believe that such a God
can permit his children to be
a,biottedeout of existence.
So the people throng into the
.churches on Easter Sunday and
the greatest attendance of the year
shows how this occasion reaches
down Into the heart of man. On
this day of gladness and rejoicing,
a new confidence and hope comes
to the human spirit for the life
/ beyond the veil.
Milford chronicle., 1941-04-11
The Easter Message

Two different streams of though
sflow into the minds of the people
Ion Easter Sunday and create
brightness and hope in a world
where SO many things are dark
land dreary.
The first stream of thought
comes from Christian history down
Through the ages. 1t is carried by
Ithe countless throng. of saints,
martyrs, teachers and humble
people in all ranks of life, who
feel that on Easter, Sunday they
| have had contact with the divine
nature which has convinced them
that death is not the end of all
things. rA
The second stream Of thought
comes from nature and philosophy.
We look out and see the birds
mating, the lambs skipping in the
fields, the trees coming to life
after winter of death, the plants
springing up in the garden, where
a few. weeks ago all was desolation.
This message tells us that
things which seem dead are not
necessarily so, that life goes
through periods of sleep, when its
existence appears terminated, but
that when the time comes it re-
wives again.
Nature teaches us that anything
that is really valuable lives on
in some form. The, most vital
thing is human personality. The
man who is a useful force counts
for more than mountain full Of
earth and rock. The man can
think and plan his future, and
act and organize activity. The
mountain is just a dead mass, and
can not move, think, or act. 1t
seems inconceivable that this vital
force uf personality can be cast
into the scrapheap as if it was
worthless. ,i.,
So this stream of human thought
daofHey 10 Us as tie biFds sing and
the. flowers bloom, and the people
put on their prettiest clothes and
join in Easter worship. These
suggestions of nature and phil
osophx give us confidence that the
Easter message of resurrection and
life insmortal is not a mere dream,
