Through April 10, 1943, the Com
modify Credit Corporation had made
16,047 loans on 3,854,141 bushels of
Ohio 1912 wheat.
Delayed harvest results in poor
quality hay, which is low in protein,
high in fiber, and lacking in pala-
liability. The delay also reduces
second growth and causes lower seed
yields in medium red clover.

A crop of soybeans leaves the top

the best drilled military units in the
country. After an exhibition tour of
the East in 1860, he returned to
Illinois.
In Springfield he became stu
dent in the law Office of Abraham
Lincoln who had recently been nom-
mated for President by the Repub-
lican party. Since political CAM
paigning seemed more exciting than
studying, young Ellsworth plunged
into it with the greatest enthusiasm
and SO won the esteem of Lincoln
that he was invited to accompany
the President-elect to Washington.
Lincoln, when he became Presi-
dent, planned to make his young
law student and ex-zouave the head
of the nations militia system. But
this was blocked by the ''profes-
sionap' soldiers in the war depart
ment and Ellsworth had to content
himself with a commission as Sec
ond lieutenant.
Then Fort Sumter was fired upon
and Lincoln called for $4,000 volun-
teers to defend the Union. Els
worth Immediately resigned his
commission and hurried to New
York city to organize the men of the
New York fire department as vol
unteer regiment. In less than two
weeks he was back in Washington as
colonel of the Eleventh New York
infantry, known as the "Fire Zou-
aves," fully equipped, drilled and
ready to take the field.
On May "a the Fire Zouaves"
were a part of a force ordered to
cross the Potomac and occupy parts
of Virginia. Ellsworth's regiment
was sent to Alexandria where their
commander saw Confederate flag
flying over hotel, the Marshall
house. He dashed into the hotel,
rushed up to the roof and tore the
flag down. AS he was returning, he
was met in the hallway by J. W..
Jackson, the proprietor, who fired
a bullet through the young colonel's
heart.
President Lincoln ordered that
Ellsworth's body be taken to the
White House where it lay in state
in the historic East Room. Later it
was escorted down Pennsylvania
avenue by a detachment of cavalry,
followed by carriages in which rode
the President and members of his
cabinet to the railroad station. There
/ it was placed in a special train
which bore the young commander
to his burial place in Mechanics
vile, N. Y.
Two days later President Lincoln
wrote long letter of coincidence to
EIlsworth's father and mother. 1t
is even more noteworthy than the
famous letter to Mrs Bixby which,
it has recently been revealed, was
not written by Lincoln at all, but
by his secretary, John Hay. In it.,
instead of writing about a soldier
whom he had never seen, Lincoln
was paying tribute to man whom
he had known personally as law
clerk in his office in Springfield and
his companion on the fateful jour
ney to Washington, and whom he
had grown to love.

Stock Market Edges

In Quiet Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Sept. Modest
advances were well scattered
through the stock market today
without generating much bullish
enthusiasm.
The trend was upward from the
fairly active opening. Later a good
many laggards managed to pro-
gress. and toward the fourth hour
the forward slant was general.
Turnover dropped from Tuesdays
recovery session and totaled about
550,000 shares for the full day.
There was little in the news to
inspire commitments. Investment
nibbling here and there among in
dustrials provided most of the bid
ding. Aside from driblets of profit
casting, however, selling pressure
was absent.
On the upside were United States
