CORN PRICE WEAK OVING TO EMBARGO CHICAGO. March 20.--Corn prices weakened today owing in considerable degree to a drastic embargo against the re-loading of western cars "with grain for shipment east. The only way left for shipments east Is in equipment furnished by eastern lines. Recently eastern lines bare handled a large number of western cars loaded with kiln dried corn for export. Opening prices, which ranged from a shade to l-4c lower with March $1.27 1-4 and May $1.25 6-8, were followed by moderate further declines. Oats like corn were dominated by the bearish influence of the eastern embargo. Fine weather for seeding tended also to depress the market After opening unchanged to 3-8c low. er with May 86 to 86 1-2. prices underwent an additional sage before beginning to react.

"WOODEN SHOE" AND "SAB CAT" PROBE BEGINS

Federal Agents Reveal Workings of I. W. W. Sabotage ; Propaganda. . CHICAGO, March 20. Details of how the "sab cat" and the "wooden shoe" were being marshaled by a vast "rebel army" in opposition to the United States government and the war will, it is said, be revealed at the coming trial of members of the I. W. W., under indictment for conspiracy and disloyalty. "Sab Cat" and "Wooden Shoe" are I. W. W. slang for sabotage. Federal attorneys were busy today examining specimens of I. W. W. literature seized by the government. , - Following are some extracts from "Solidarity," an I. W. W. publication. which will, it is said, be used as evi-' dence at the trial: ! "The rebel who does not put his pet j M - , . I. J . Ml . I iu ivum luese u&ys is guilty 01 criminal negligence. "We need in Rockford at the present time about 4,000 rebels to go on the job at the Teantonment De Yellowleg. So come on you rebels. "An ounce of sabotage is worth a ton of legislation." - THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Positive purpose holds , fortune can be coerced but not coddled. Virtue has good intentions while vanity wants the world to see her as she appears and not as she is, she is puffed up. Money is a lordly king and love of it is enthroned with aueenly powers in every breast. Talent and power are but elements of hard work, the only generator of dynamic life force. , Classified advertising pays big every day and all the time when you make the little Want Ad salesmen tell all the facts in ill candor and good faith. It pays to advertise in an honest : way. . . . High School Seniors to Wear Caps and Gowns Richmond high school students who graduate this June may wear caps and gowns according to Principal Bentley. A number of the students are anxious for the innovation as they feel that a saving may be made by the adoption of the regulation costume. - SELECT WORKERS FOR LOAN DRIVE Permanent headquarters for the Wayne County Liberty Loan committee have been established on the second floor of the Palladium building, North Ninth street, and beginning next week will be open daily.

Vienna Newspaper . Doubts Peace Proffer ZURICH, Tuesday, March 19 Contrasting the utterances of Field Marshal Von' Hindenburg and . General Von Ludendorff, with" the speech made In the Reichstag late in February by (Chancellor Von Hertllng, the Arbiter Zeltung, the socialist organ of Vienna, asks whether the latest Berlin conference led to the adoption of a new policy. , The paper argues that neither France nor Great Britain will accept a weak peace and says the peace which Count Czernin, the AustroHungarian foreign secretary, promised and doubtless . honesty desires is now scoffed at everywhere, as a weak peace offer. Nothing more, the paper adds, is heard of Count Czernin's offer to President Wilson to enter Into negotiations. It continues: "Count Czernin has become quite dumb and modest, while the greatest decisions are being taken in . Berlin, London and Paris." . f. .

o Red Cross Notes Rirhmnnd neonle are responding zenernuslv to the call for clothing fori the Belgians and French, according to Mrs. W. L. Morgan, who nas Deen jlaced in charge of the collecting of the clothing. In the two days mat me campaign has been on, a large amount of men's and women's clothing has Viaan hrnneht to the headauarters ut 14 North Ninth street Baby's and chil dren's clothing are greatly neeaea, Mrs. Morgan said Wednesday, and up to this time have not been sent in In any great amount. The room will be open until SaturAw nt this week, and nArsons who are unable to bring their contributions, may call telephone 2807, ana ine doming will be called for by Boy Scouts on Saturday. Mrs. Morgan is in charge of the room and Is assistea Dy airs. R. D. Miller. The, fniinwinr information issued by the Commission for Relief in Belgium shows how urgent is tne neea ior ointhiner and cloth asked for by the American Red Cross this week. "Before the exhaustion ot native supplies prospective mothers were given Layettes little bundles containing all the warm, clean garments and various supplies so necessary to the babies, with which to clothe and provide for the new arrivals into the world. Of late these women have been turned away by the thousands from the empty storehouses of the Commission and their new-born babies are swaddled in rags. "Last year in . Belgium one paid seven dollars to have a pair of shoes resoled. We must have shoes, and we must have scrap leather to repair those you give and the ones being worn over there. It is useless to send a garment that is not made of the strongest and most durable materials, as the clothes are subjected to the hardest kind of use. But this does not mean that the garments must be in perfect repair. There are upwards of a hundred thousand women in Belgium and northern France who will do anything for a little work, and who were trained and mobilized into a marvelously efficient organization for the making of new clothing or the repairing of old clothing." The Richmond branch of the Wayne County chapter of the Red Cross received a number of articles from Milton Wednesday Bandages and compresses were included. The work is above the standard. The Milton branch has a large work room which has been re-decorated and placed in good condition The rooms are filled with workers each afternoon.

That was evidenced by the crowded houses . that witnessed the debut of spring styles in the Richmond 8tyle Show Tuesday at the Washington theatre. Three performances - were given Tuesday, and the theatre Was crowded each time. Men and women were in the audience, and the men were as much Interested as their feminine companions. All the styles shown came directly from the merchant's shops, and were fair exhibits of what may be purchased here. There was none of the imported goods that is used frequently in style shows to make an elaborate showing. The displays were so successful that four women's garments were sold before the first performance was over. Merchants Who Exhibit. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Kolp staged the ' Deaths and Funeral.
