WHEAT CONTINUES Oil HIGHER PLANE Corn Exception In High Grain Close, Bu Vnited Press Hpshed weak on the hoard of trade today while other grains showed sharp gains. With the presence of good buying, wheat made new high prices or the present movement. Values however, were unable to sustain the full advance due to heavy profits sales. Speculative interest was aroused by heavy exports sales of w'heat and rye, and brisk flour demand. Corn values receded fractionally on account of extremely heavy profit sales. Improved conditions brought longs out on the selling side. Oats met profit sales, hut managed to hold a fraction of the day’s gains. This grain was solely under the dominance of wheat. Provisions lagged. Interest was Jacking. Chicago Grain Table —June 11— WHEAT — Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

' HARDWARE MERCHANTS WAITING ON POLITICS Indianapolis Dealers Holding Low on Retail Stocks. Indianapolis hardware merchants are of the opinion that no positive v>, age in general hardware business KiXfditions will be made until after the political situation is more definite. They report that weather conditions have retarded the sale -if seasonable merchandise. However, shelf hardware, automobile accessories and some lines of specialties are consistently active, although the amount of business that is being done is more or less confined. Collections have been reported fair. Retail stocks are light, and it is the policy of local and outside dealers to hold down on supplies.

With the Legion Auxiliary in Indiana

By CLAIRE PALMER THURSTON

Mrs. W. H. Morgan, Edwardsville. 111., national chairman of the child welfare committee, will attend the dedication of the Otter Lake, Mich., World War orphanage, Sunday, June 15. Mrs. Morgan has bean called "the greatest mother in the world,” as she supervises the care of 6.000 orphans of men who participated '*ln the great World War. The American Legion has assumed the responsibility of seeing that these children are placed in homes where they will be cared for by mothers. The "Forty and Eight" of the American Legion and the "Eight and Forty" of the auxiliary, hot! pay a portion of their per capita t ,x into the World War orphan fund. The American legion "Forty and Eight" now has $24,000, held in trust for the orphans of World War veterans. The Legion and auxiliary of Kansas are raising a fund of SIOO,000 to be used in erecting a war orphan home in Independence. Kas. The first city in the State to go “Over the Top” in the drive for funds, was Ellis, where quota of $509 was obtained in less than one week. Indiana’s activities, at present, are centered around the Knightstown Sailors’ and Soldiers' Orphanage; but it is expected the department of Indiana, will eventually formulate plans for the same line of activity as the other departments. According to recent ruling of the United States Veteran’s Bureau the disabled soldiers of each veteran bureau hospital will be provided with radio receiving sets. Flag day, June 14, will be observed generally over the State of Indiana by both the Legion and auxiliary. In many places the legion will cooperate with the Elks and dther organizations in this celebration. Auxiliary unit meetings will specialize on the reading of the flag pamphlets, compiled by the Americanism com mittee of the American Legion. The Robert E. Kennington unit met Friday in the Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Minnie Rigg, welfare chairman, gave a report on the fam ily the unit has been looking after. All units in the Seventh district are doing follow-up work of the prison survey committee, which consists of visiting and advising' and in many instances, caring for the families of men who have been or are confined in prisons.

'Neighbors MANY a housewife locks the front door out of habit—then hangs the key in plain sight. She knows her neighbors so well that her one-time fear is now trust.
