WARM WEATHER HAS BEARISH EFFECT

CHICAGO. May 3. Prospects of continued warm, sunny weather had a bearish affect today on corn. Besides the outlook for increased planting, supplies in first hands were said to be heavy, and there appeared to be growing likelihood of a record wheat and oats crop. The argument was pressed also that the sharp rally yesterday was only a natural reaction after recent severe declines. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to c lower with May 127V4 to 127 and July 1473 to 147 to 147 were followed by a slight upturn and then a decided break. Oats gave away with corn. Commission houses were quick to tal;e the Belling side. After opening unchanged to yac lower, the market underwent a material further sag. Higher quotations on hogs lifted provisions. Offerings were scarce.

(By Associated Frees.) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Thursday, May 2. Lieut. James A. Meissner, whose home is in Brooklyn, and who brought down his first German airplane today on the American front northwest of Toul, returned to his hanger to receive the congratulations of his comrades and to make his report with a bashful grin on his face. The lieutenant is young and slight, and "tickled to death," that he has one enemy scalp hanging to his belt. The story of his exploit having trickled in over the telephone, the correspondent went to the lieutenant's hanger. It had been reported that a wing of Miessner's machine had been torn off by his opponent's airplane. "Impossible," said one of the members of Meissner's squadron, before the young aviator had returned to his billet. "If the Boche really had scraped Jimmy with his wing, we would have had to call on the Red Cross to make inquiries through Switzerland as to what had happened to him." "There He is Now." Just at that time Lieut Meissner himself jumped out of an automobile and walked toward the group gathered about the hanger. "Well! Well ! There's Jimmy now,' cried his companions as they all ran out to meet him. All tried to grasp his hand at the same time and shake it, while many questions were hurled at the young aviator. The lieutenant blushed and looked around as if at a loss how to begin. Then he briefly told an American story in an American way just as if bringing down a German was an every day trick. "Well," he said, "I saw tx'.ia at about 5,000 metres. There was another machine which I believe was a French one, headed in the direction of the German. I just sailed in first but the Boche swung down 'toward the earth when I was just above him. I went down after him, firing all the time. "Then he straightened out and turning his wing point quickly rammed my wing, but as that was happening I cut loose with my gun again. Smoke came from the German machine, which headed for the interior of Germany and we were both soon over his territory. I thought that might be some sort of camouflage for a getaway for they tell me these Germans are full of tricks, so I kept right on his tail. Then he began to drop, real red flames streaming from him. I knew that I had him and that I had fired 200 shots but I also knew my machine was damaged. So I turned and headed for home but I thought I had better come down safely inside our lines than to risk a fight all the way, so I did it and there you are." Then the lieutenant went over and told his mechanic about it. The pair stood beside another airplane, on the wing of which had been pasted as "a hoodoo chaser," a Liberty loan poster, showing liberty waving the

American flag over the heads of the American soldiers and bearing the inscription: "Fight or buy Liberty bonds."

Continued From Pag One. for office at the primary next Tuesday, attended the meeting which was held In the city hall. Carl Meyr-ra presided in the absence of Lewis S. Bowman, chairman of the Republican central committee, who was 'detained at his office. He later came Into the hall with Attorney Reller and County Treasurer Weidner. The county auditor spoke briefly explaining the primary law and urging every member of the party to cast his ballot next Tuesday. Mrs. Robert Peel I e led the singing of

"America," the crowd joining In. Rev. O'Connor of Centervllle gave the invocation. Mrs. Peelle again led the audience in the singing of "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." Miss Edna Johnson recited a patriotic poem, and Miss Thelma Flook and Raymon Welser sang a duet. Miss Erphe Lundy, whose father, Harry Lundy, is now with the American expeditionary forces in France, recited a patriotic poem, "Daddy's Gone to Get the Kaiser," that brought down the house. Charles Jordan Speaks' Charles Jordan, president of the American Trust and Savings bank, spoke on "Republicanism and Patriotism," declaring that the two words were synonomous and always expressive of the same meaning. "I am for clean politics," Jordan said. "Any man who would stoop so low as to fight an opponent by dirty tactics, has no place in the Republican party. The speaker declared that every Republican was back of Woodrow Wilson, and predicted that the party would be called upon to furnish a president when the period of reconstruction takes place at the end of the war. "Or if the war is still going on when

Mr. Wilson's term of office expires,' the speaker said, "the Republican party has got the proper war president to rule this great country and carry us on to victory." He paid a high compliment to the patriotism of Centervllle and Center township. Every young man In Class, 1 has gone to the colors from this township, 68 or them in all. "Germany has moved as far west as she Is going to move." he said. "The Allies are but waiting for the Yankees to get there in full force, and then we shall force them back Into their own land. Then shall the women of Germany, the mothers and sisters of the men at the front, taste the horrors cf war as have the women of France and Belgium. Thank God, though, we are cllvillzed, and the women and children shall not suffer at our hands as the women and children of our Allied countries have suffered at the hands of the Huns." Other speakers who spoke briefly were John W. Judklns of Cambridge City, and Oliver La Fuze of Liberty, both of whom are candidates for the nomination as joint representative of Wayne and Union counties; Jamei Knapp of Hagerstown, candidate for representative of Wayne county; and Dr. M. W. Yencer, candidate for senator. Ed Paul of Cambridge City, a prominent member of the Republican party In this county, also spoke.
