CORN PRICES FIRM ON CHICAGO MART

CHICAGO, Feb. 16. Corn prices developed firmness today after a little hesitation at the outset. Absence of any pressure to sell was more or less responsible for the hardening of values. Stormy weather counted also as a bullish factor. Opening prices which varied from unchanged figures to a shade lower, with March not quoted and May $1.23 1.26 to $1.26, were followed by a moderate advance. Meagerness of offerings gave decided strength to oats. Unfavorable weather discouraged the bears. After opening unchanged to c higher the market scored a material upturn. Sharp advances In the hog market lifted provisions. Buying, however, was only of a scattered sort.

Corn Shows Gain In Weekly Review CHICAGO. Feb. 16. Broadening of demand faster than received could be augmented has brought about an uneven advance this week in grain values. Compared with a week ago, corn this morning was up to c, and oats up lVc to 2c. Pork and ribs showed net gains of 37 to 57c, but lard was unchanged to 12c off. It was not surprising that demand was not good for corn as the long delay of the crop movement, had kept the entire country on a hand to mouth basis. A decided enlargement of receipts began on Monday, but the bearish effect was more than counter balanced by sudden notice that orders which prevented eastern shipments from here had been withdrawn. . Throughout the rest of the week until yesterday prices continued to strengthen. Finally, however, announcement that for the present, grain-cars emptied here must not go east but must be returned to western lines to bring in corn led to a change of outlood, and seemed to promise larger stocks here and at other west- ; ern centers. Brisk demand from shippers did a ' good deal to hoist oats to the highest prices yet this season. Provisions averaged higher largely ou account of reports that further government contracts would be placed in March.

RICHMOND BOYS IN QUAKER UNIT HAVE BIG TASK

J. Henry Scattergood Tells of Reconstruction Work Being Done in France. The work of Engene Twigg, Leland Hadley, Will Jenkins and John Morrison, Richmond men who are doing French relief work, was commended Friday evening by J. Henry Scattergood of Philadelphia, a member of a Friends' unit, in a lecture at the high school. Pictures of the young men and the houses in which they live were thrown on the screen during the lecture. "The indomitable spirit of French and their wonderful patriotism In the face of the most gigantic assault on national integrity known to history has elicted the admiration of the entire world," said Scattergood. "An immense mass of humanity is in uniform in France. "We have a president who has been the light and is breaking down panGermanism. - Most of the public buildings in France have been made Into hospitals. "The American Red Cross is a marvelous institution and came to France at then right time. This organization has been a great help to the Friends in their work. "All over France are found many cemeteriese containing the bodies of German and French soldiers. In Paris, a gaiety and spirit of hope is kept up but every place else one sees signs of sadness. Scattergood had stereopticon views showing many places of Interest in devastated France.

Joe Helms Describes Germination Process There' is quite a good deal of talk about germination of seed corn at this time, for next spring's planting. I would like to make one statement at this time. Germination or sprouting is brought about by a process of ferment, and through this process the plant food stored up in the seed becomes available to quicken or advance the miniature plant that lies dormant in every seed. This process of ferment is brought about by three conditions, air, heat nd moisture. Nature provides that

seeds containing an excess amount of

moisture will sprout if given heat. For instance take some corn that is frozen, put it in dirt and give it a temperature of 75 or 80 degrees and it will germinate 90 to 100 percent, but if this corn that has been frozen, becomes dry it will fail to grow or germinate. Corn that has been out all winter, and was not dry, when 10-20 degrees below zero came on will be very poor seed, but if dry and kept dry will be all right, 14 to 16 percent of moisture in corn is canned dry corn, and It will not freeze, for it is about 55 percent oil in the kernel.

QUIZ MUNCIE ENDED BY JUDGE

, MUNCIE, Ind.. Feb. 16. Five days after he had called the grand Jury together for an investigation of moral conditions in Muncie, Judge William A. Thompson of the Circuit Court this afternoon called the grand jurors before him in open court and discharged them because he believed that no good faith efforts would be made to return Indictments. The action of Judge Thompson came as a surprise. The trouble is said to be between Judge Thompson and Prosecutor Horace G. Murphy. It was rumored some days ago that Judge Thompson intended to place a special prosecutor in charge of the grand jury investigation. Sees No Benefits In discharging the grand jury Judge Thompson said: "From the information that has come to this court it has reason to and does believe that there will be no good faith efforts made to return indictments at this time against some of the classes of prominent violators of the law." There will be a new grand jury in about six weeks and the judge may call for another investigation. In making his charge to the grand jury when it convened Judge Thompson asked that the grand jurors make a complete investigation of law violations P-nd particularly of gambling. He declared that the gamblers driven out of Indianapolis and Terre Haute were having easy sailing in Muncie. Judge Thompson would make no comment on his action In discharging the jury except to say that another grand jury soon will take up the Investigation that he wants made.

Red Cross Notes

Missouri and Oklahoma investors have chartered a $150,000 company to mine lead and zinc in Oklahoma.

Members of the auxiliary of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers worked at the Red Cross rooms Friday afternoon. These women have voted to work each Friday afternoon at the headquarters. Miss Jane Delano, chairman of the National Committee on Nursing Service, gave out the following statement at the National headquarters of the American Red Cross last month: "Nurses, and more nurses, if America Is to win the war, is the cry of the nation to her women today. There are at present about 7,000 nurses In active service and the first contingent of the American Army is scarcely In the field. "About 2,000 women have to date been assigned to active duty in cantonment hospitals and several hundred more to the Navy Nurse corps. Women are also working in the sanitary zones about the cantonments. As new armies are called, many thousands more will be needed. "The woman who has had the necessary training can find her largest opportunity for service by taking it now. From the moment she enters a nurses training school, he will be helping to solve the present nursing problem, and when the war Is over she will be In position to aid in the tremendous rehabilitation work which must follow in its wake."
