WEATHER CAUSES SETBACK IN MARKET

1 CHICAGO. May 15. Favorable weather for planting led to decided setbacks today in the value of corn. Reports suggesting that a reduction would be shown in the seeded acreage of the principal states and that plantlap; was at present a little behind normal, failed to act as an offset. About he only demand came from shorts. Opening prices, which ranged from 1-2 to 1 l-2c lower with May 127 3-4 and July 142 1-8 to 142 7-8, were followed by a material further decline. Oats sympathized with the weakness of corn. Excellent crop conditions gave an advantage to the bears. After opening unchanged to 7-8c lower, the market continued to recede. Government orders restricting retail prices kept provisions sharply on the down grade. At the maximum decline allowed for the day. however, there was come buying on the part of packers.

The National road through Wayne county win not be completed this year on pecount of a decision that has been handed down by a Hamilton county judge. The decision declares that the new highway law is unconstitutional and practically ties the hands, of the Indiana state highway commission until the case can be finally decided by the supreme court to which the attorney general has taken an appeal. One mile and a half of the road near Centervillfe was to have been laid with concrete this year with the county and state sharing an equal portion of the expense. This was made possible under the three-mile road law, and. it is this law that has been declared unconstitutional. County Auditor Bowman has received the following letter from William S. Moore, secretary of the commission: No doubt you have noticed that Judge Cloe has made a ruling in the Hamilton county case. He has practically decided that the highway act is unconstitutional. Judge Stans-

bury, attorney general, expects .to appeal this to the supreme court and get an early decision on same. If the supreme court should confirm the decision of the lower court, this would mean that we would have to abandon ail work and that, a new highway law would have to be enacted by the next legislature. As the supreme court adjourns the first of July, we feel that we cannot get a decision much before fall. For this reason it will be impossible for us to do any road work this summer. "As we expected to construct several miles of Main market highway in your county this year, and as you were not doing any work on these roads for the reason that you expected them to be improved, we would suggest that you order your highway superintendent to keep these roads in repair the same as usual, as it will be at least another year before the Indiana state highway commission could take up the matter of constructing these roads with the aid of federal and state money."

GERMANS SELECT

Continued From Page One. power ever known in the world's history. Stronger Consoldation. Comments from Austrian newspapers, reaching London tonight, tend to confirm the opinion that the alliance of the central powers has been consolidated an . all-embracing manner. Vienna newspapers are unanimous in the view that a multitude of enemies necessitates self preservation and demands that Germany and Austria-Hungary should give their defensive alliance a general character. They also emphasize that neither empire will give up its political, military or economic personality. The Fremdenblatt says that the two powers are united for common defense, not only as formerly against Russia, but also against any other powers which should attack either ally, and adds that in accordance with the political deepening of the alliance, measures also will be taken to provide that the military domain will guarantee compensation to the German and Aus-tro-Hungarian armies by which neither the individual nor the organization of the armies of Germany or of AustriaHungary will be assailed. AUSTRIANS WELCOME STRONG ALLIANCE WITH GERMANY AMSTERDAM, May 15. Vienna newspapers welcome the announcement that at the meeting at German great headquarters, the German and Austrian emperors decided upon a deepening of the alliance between the two countries. "The renewal of the alliance," says the Neue Wiener Tageblatt, "satisfies the political .intelligence of Austrians, while at the same time it is the heart'3 desire of us Germans in Austria." The newspaper adds that only an alliance with a strong Austria can have value for Germans in Germany and that the reconstruction of the alliance with Germany will, therefore, have to be followed sooner or later by the internal construction of Austria. This will serve both for defense and the long-desired peace, internally as well as externally. The Reichshost says that news that the fundamental guiding lines for a reconstruction of the alliance have already been fixed, is encouraging and full of promise. The Neue Freie Presse says that as a result of the experiences of the last "four painful years" the alliance probably will be made general "as desired by old Emperor William."

Considerable activity Is reported to be going on behind the German lines in the. region of Montdidier, where the Americans hold a part of the allied line. French batteries have broken up German troop concentration and convoys around Montdidier as well as near Noyon. The artillery fire along the American zones in Picardy and northwest of Toul has been below normal. Artillery More Lively In the Italian theater, the artillery firing is more lively, especially in the Trentino and on the mountain front from Lake Garda to the Piave. Italian troops on Monte Corno have repulsed further Austrian attempts to regain

i the summit of the height.

Much interest is displayed in allied capitals as to the meeting between the German and Austrian emperors and their diplomatic and military assistants and especially in the truth behind the apparently purposely vague official statement on its results. That a more firm alliance between the two countries has been cemented is certain, and it is believed Austria-

Hungary has been forced to make un

j for her delinquencies as an ally of j Germany by getting deeper into the

power of the stronger nation. Developments in the near future, it is felt, probably will show whether Emperor Charles has been compelled to

i renew the offensive against Italy or

j to send large numbers of troops to i aid the exhausted Germans on the

western front. The emperors, according to ' German newspapers, picked out rulers for Poland and the occupied portions of northern Russia, including Courland and Esthonia. The names of those appointed to reign over these border states are not disclosed. AGED MAIL CARRIER KILLED BY TRAIN COLLINS VILLE, O., May 15 Wilson Martin, 73 years old, one of the oldest rural mail carriers in this section of the state, was Instantly killed here yesterday when an automobile in which he was riding was struck by a Pennsylvania passenger train at the crossing just west of the city. The train, which was running two hours behind schedule, -was traveling at a high rate of speed, and it is

thought Martin's car became stalled on the crossing directly in the path of the train. He carries a rural route out of the Collinsville postoffice and was just starting on his morning trip. He was dragged about 70 feet and the left side' of his head was badly crushed and mangled. Martin is survived by his widow, one daughter, Mildred, and two brothers, George and Thomas Martin.

DON'T BLAME "SPRING FEVER" FOR THAT "DOWN-AND-OUT" FEELING

Your Blood Needs a Thorough Cleaning Just Now. ' As Spring approaches, the impurities that have been accumulating in the system throughout the winter begin to clog up the circulation, causing a general weakness and debilitated condition that is generally known as "Spring fever." The first symptoms are usually a loss of appetite, followed by a gradually lessening of energy, the system becomes weaker day by day, tontil you feel yourself on the verge of a breakdown. Children just at this season are peevish and irritable, and become puny and lifeless. This whole condition is but the result of impurities in the blood that have been accumulating and make themselves felt more distinctly with
