pectants
The w. S. Hancock Post, Grand
Army of the Republic, organized in
this town last summer, held their
first "Open Camp Fire" on Monday
night. The first called on was
VIM. M. Broadway, who narrated
the joy which caused stiff old men
at Appomattox to turn summer
saults" when the news passed down
the line that Lee had surrendered.
1t was noticeable that not one of
the speakers had word of regret
that he had taken up his gun in de-
fence of this country and all said
that if necessary they were ready
to go again.
The whole civilized world is in
terested in the fate of General
Macceo, the patriot leader in the
Cuban rebellion and his betrayal
and butchery by the Spaniards. 1t
is compared to the cruelty of the
Turks to the Armenians. There is
an intense sympathy with the
'Cubans and if the betrayal and
death of Macceo turns out to be as
reported, it will be difficult to re-
strain decisive steps by Congress.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-P)HAfter
holding at steady to firm prices
most of the day, May rye slipped
about 8 IL cents a bushel in the
final minutes of trading today,
finishing the session with an av-
erage loss Of around 2 cents a
bushel.
Despite the sixth consecutive
nickle limit setback for the grain
at Winnipeg. brokers bid the price
around IL cents upward at the
opening and held fractional ad-
vances most of the time against
moderate liquidation which uncov-
cred some additional stop loss
selling.
Buyers Of rye hesitate to make
purchases due to the fact that the
time is drawing near when the
ceiling of $1.44 IL cents will be
imposed on the May delivery un.
less the OPA revises its order.
Said James f. Bennett and com
pany.
All deferred contracts now are
held at the government-fixed max
imum prices Of $1.44 IL. The
same figure will be imposed upon
all rye sold after May 81. Thus,
stocks of the grain now held in
storage on May commitments are
around 60 cents bushel above
the price that will be allowed on
June 1.9.
Wheat, corn and barley finished
again at ceilings of $1.80 IL, $1.1a
IL and $1.22 IL. Oats were I'm.
changed to 1-8 cent higher thar
