PEACE TALK PUTS I

' CORN PRICE DOWN

CHICAGO. Feb. 1. Peace gossip had a bearish Influence today on the corn market." Reports that Austria bad 'made repeated advances to President Wilson were given . special notice in this connection. Many traders made broad inferences also on tbe basis of the president's letter referring to tbe outlook for 1918. Opening prices, which , ranged from H to He lower with March not quoted and May 125 to 125. were followed by ft decided further set-back. Weakness in oats resulted largely

from enlarged country offerings. Be

sides, expert bids bad censed, now from tbe east and tbe gulf. After openina: U to 4 2 ic down with

May to 80 tbe market underwent a sharp additional break. Provisions averaged higher, apparently

owing to optimism regarding peace

chances.

Small Boy is Found

With Feet Frozen

The sympathetic chord in the heart of Chief of Police Gormon was touched Thursday afternoon when the police brought a mere boy, ragged, dirty and cold, into his office. "The boy no longer wore shoes, and bis feet were frozen. This he did not know until he came near the fire. He was "beating his way" on a freight trali when he was found by the police. Reflecting that "he was some mother's son," , Chief Gormon sent him to the Reid Memorial hos

pital.

Congressmen Must Pay

Occupational Tax, Too WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. Members

of congress, although exempted by law

from the so-called occupational tax,

which operates on incomes of more

than $6,000 in, addition to the regular

income tax, will have to pay it, never

theless, by a ruling made today by In

ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper.

The law exempted officers and em

ployes of the government. The inter

nal revenue commissioner ruled that

congressmen are neither.

So much criticism was made at the

exemption of congressmen that a bill to remove it already has passed the bonse and now is pending in the sen

ate.
