MARKETS

CORN TAKES UPWARD TURN ON MARKET CHICAGO, Feb. 15. Signs that demand was more than keeping pace with receipts gave a fresh upward turn today to (he corn market. It was pointed out that arrivals, although liberal, were diminishing rather than increasing. Sellers -were scarce. Opening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterday's figures to 1 Sc higher, with March $1.27 5-S and May $1.25 7-8 at $1.25 to $1.26. were followed by slight gains all around. Influenced by purchasing for big commission houses, oats touched the highest prices yet this season. Profit taking, however, caused a sharp reaction. After opening 1-Sc to l-2c up, the market dropped to below yesterday's close. Higher quotations on hogs lifted provisions. Offerings were light. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO, Feb. 15.

HYDROPLANES SINK U-BOAT

PARIS, Feb. 15 An encounter between two French hydroplanes and a German submarine in the English channel recently probably resulted in the sinking of the U-boat after it had been bombed by the planes, according to an official announcement by the French admiralty. The airplanes were on patrol duty over the channel when they discovered the submarine on the surface. They attacked it, after maneuvering so that the sua was at their backs, and the submarine plunged, but it did nbt disappeare before the aviators had succeeded in dropping several bombs j on or near the periscope. while one airplane returned 10 me base for more bombs, the other kept watch and saw the submarine emerge after a few seconds with a list to port of 45 degrees. After attempting to right itself, the submarine again disappeared, only to reappear a third time. Its Instability, however, increased and suddenly the observer saw the submarine list still further and sink, so that even the periscope could not be seen. Urged to Back Red Cross Home Service INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 15. Prominent business men of Indiana, as well as of Ohio and Kentucky, have been urged by James L. Fieser, Director of Civilian Relief, Lake Division of the American Red Cross, to lend their ac- ! tive backing to Red Cross Home ser vice committees in their respective communities. "Comparitively few communities realize the full meaning of this branch of Red Cross work." Mr. Fieser says. "With the American offensive still to take place, some 3,000 families of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky soldiers and sailors are under the care of the Red Cross." In addition to aid of this kind the Lake Division Civilian Relief board is charged with the responsibility of administering flood and disaster relief. For some time it has been in constant touch with the flood situation along the Ohio river and other streams in the three states. SEARCH FOR ENEMY ALIEN PROPERTIES WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. Federal agents today are searching the country for enemy alien property which has not been reported. The search was ordered by A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian in a statement calling upon loyal Americans to assist in giving information of enemy aliens who, through ignorance of the law or malicious intent, h?ve failed to make returns of their holdings. "Every loyal citizen must come forward" says the statement, "and give any information which will stop the flow of money into enemy territory." Mr. Palmer stated that the law will be impartially enforced against all enemy individuals and corporations withholding reports. Violators are subject to a fine of $10,000 or ten years imprisonment, or both. Washington investors have chartered a $350,000 company which plans to develop 600 acres of sulphur land near Toyah, Tex.

Cut the Cost of Horse Labor The cost of horse labor is almost onehalf the gross operating expense on the average farm. A farm horse averages only 2'A hours work a day through the entire year, and tires in six. It costs from 12 to 14 cents per working hour to maintain a horse, and requires 23 minutes a day to care for him, or fourteen ten-hour day a year. And yet there isn't enoogh power to plow as deep as scientific methods require; to harrow more frequently, so that organic matter will be utilized, moisture conserved, and a good state of soil tilth maintained; to cultivate more frequently; and to harvest at the proper time. Let us tell you how the MolingVnivertal Tractor can reduce the cost of power on your farm. It will pay you.
