MARKETS

CORN PRICES JUMP ON CHICAGO MART

CHICAGO. Feb. 20. Continued scantiness of receipts tended today to btrengthen the corn market. Trade, however, was small owing to the fact that prices were near to the maximum limit allowed by existing regulations. Opening figures, which varied from the same a? yesterday's finish to c higher with March not quoted and May $1.25T4to $1.27, were followed by a slight further upturn. Broad general demand sent the oats market soaring. Offerings were next to nothing, as a result largely of llklihood that the government guaranteed price on the 1918 'wheat crop would be raised 50c a bushel. After opening Uc to VAc higher with May C8c to &$Vc, the market scored substantial further gains before beginning to react . Provisions Tose with hogs and grain. Arrivals of hogs were much less plentiful than had been expected.

- "Wayne county leds all othes counties in the best and most efficient road process building in the state, through the hearty co-operation of the commissioners who . have , bought all machinery that the road department has asked for, in order to cheapen the cost of building roads," said W. O. Jones, road superintendent, Wednesday. Superintendent Jones also said the Wayne county taxpayers owed the. good roads to a great extent to the county commissioners. "Appropriations have been m?le to buy a new motor truck, stone crusher and road graders, and bids on this equipment will be received Saturday. "Since gravel in many places has become scarce and since the best gravel can be obtained from the streams, a large part of the gravel now being used on the roads is dipped. But this gravel has to be screened and thus leaves a large amount of refuse stone lying - on farming land, adjacent to the streams ?which musfr be removed from time to time. At present in Wayne county there are about 4,000 loads of refuse gravel covering several square yards of good soil which can be removed at small cost by the purchase of a stone crusher. Other counties in the state are paying about 25 cents a square yard for dipped gravel, while Wayne pays about half that amount. This year the road department thought it wise to buy a motor truck to move the machinery from place to place Instead of having to depend on the farmer who will be needed on the farm all year to produce large crops. Jail prisoners will be used in operating the motor truck and all road machinery Superintendent Jones, said thus reducing the cost to the taxpayer. The commissioners after a careful study of the matter decided that the machinery would more than pay for itself in a short time.

Today's Thrift - Stamp Winners

Wednesday -was a "good day" in the limerick department. Poems poured in the office making the task of-piek-ing the best ones a difficult one.'

The winners for Wednesday are: A Thrift Stamp's but a little thing It costs but one-fourth dollar. But if you buy some you will help To make the kaiser boiler. M. M.

Mr. Dillon stated that the light plant was not anticipating the selling of power to small towns in the county. He was under the impression that this was not legal, he said. .. excepting where the power was sold to a man or corporation inside the city. The person to whom the power was sold might extend It to other towns, he said, as in the case of Robert Ash,

who baa been providing light" for the town of Liberty: with power obtained from the local plant. A decision to this effect hat already been made by the Ohio state court, which held that a municipal concern was not operating for profit and that it could not extend its business at the expense of the tax payers.

The plant has been making a profit of $90,000 a year, over actual operating expenses, for the last five years; In order to obtain the required machinery, it will be necessary to place the order at once, owing to present business conditions. If the appropriation is made at once, it may be possi
