MARKETS!
FRESH WEAKNESS IH CORN MARKET CHICAGO. May 17. Selling on the part of leading commission houses induced fresh weakness today in the corn market. The bearish effects of peace discussions In the British house of commons appeared to have grown rather than diminished over night. In addition, bulls were handicapped by assertions that present stocks of corn and the current movement would be more than sufficient to meet all domestic requirements. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to c higher, with May $1.27 to $1.27. and July $1.41 to $1.42. were followed by a decided break, which carried July well below yesterday's finish. Reports of welcome rains In Nebraska and Kansas gave an advantage to the bears in oats. The weakness of corn, however, was the main depressing Influences. After opening to c lower the market rallied a little but then again sagged. Tigher quotations on hogs made provisions advance. Liberal allotment of government contracts tended also to stimulate an upturn In values.

Appeals to Schools to Lend Aid in Second Red Cross War Fund Drive (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 17 An appeal to the teachers and children in all schools of the United States to do their share In the second war fund drive of the Red Cross during the week
of May 20, was issued today by Philander P. Claxton, commissioner of education.
After relating the aims of the war, the appeal says: "While we are determined to win through our armies and navies, the war for humanity and future, we are equally determined to relieve, insofar as we can, the sorrow and suffering of the present, whether of our soldiers in camp or field or hospital, or sailors on the seas, our own people at home, or our allies and others stricken by the war, wherever they may be. For this purpose the American Red Cross is our principal agent. Wherever there is most need for its work of mercy, there its workers are to be found. It ministers to all, but
with especial care to women and children. It is therefore particularly fitting that teachers and children in schools of the United States, both public and private, should contribute to the red cross and do all they can to induce others to do so."

H. S. PUPILS URGED TO DO GARDENING
The importance of garden work was discussed by E. F. Murphy, city gar
den supervisor, in a talk at high4
school chapel exercises Friday morning. Gardening is not only important
from the win-the-war-standpoint, Mr. Murphy pointed out, but as a means of exercise of money-making and of scientific study. The problems of selection in gardening, he stated, are studied by scientific leaders in the universities, who '. devote all their time to the study. More extensive gardening is the only method of solving the food consumption problem, the garden director said. Farmers do not raise suk ficient vegetables to provide them
selves, and in order to save meats and j release cars that would otherwise be
ufced in shipping vegetables from one community to another, every . person should raise his own garden stuffs. It is possible to make money in gardening, Mr. Murphy told the students. He said that pupils who wished to earn money for a college course could easily do so by raising vegetables and doing garden work. The garden supervisor offered his
services to any high school pupil who j
it raising a war garden. About 28 percent of the pupils in the high pchool now have gardens, but more are expected to take up gardening during the summer.
PUPILS TO GIVE MUSICAL PROGRAM
A program by the vocational music pupils of the high school will be one of the features of the annual school
music festival to be held at the high school auditorium May 28, 29 and 30. The program by the vocational pupils will be given May 29, and each teacher who is connected with the course will have a pupil on the program. In addition to the musical numbers J. H. Bentley. principal of the high school, will give a talk on the vocational music course, explaining its work in the Richmond schools; B. W. Kelley of the high school faculty will give a scientific talk on "Sound and
its Keiation to Music," and R. C. Sloane, head of the music department in the schools, will give an illustrated demonstration of harmony. The opening program, May 28, will be given by the Garfield Junior High school orchestra under the direction of Miss Edna A. Marlatt. The high school orchestra, R. C. Sloane, director, will give the final program, May 30. The development of the pupils in the music course is shown by the fact that three concertos are on the program for this year. Marius Fossenkemper, Mfriam Hadley and Mary Jones are to give the concertos.
DELAY ACTION ON HOME RULE BILL (By Associated Press.) LONDON. May 17. The house of commons adjourned last night until May 28 -without any sign of the long delayed Irish home rule bill. Apparently the members of the government have no idea when the bill will be introduced. DUBLIN. Thursday. May 16. At a meeting of 45 members of the Irish
party here today with the Irish nationalist leader, John Dillon, presiding, a statement was issued to the effect that the bill for conscription in Ireland was adopted by parliament largely under the impression- that no attempt would be made to use the power until a responsible Irish government and an Irish parliament were called in existence. The latest developments, however, lead to the conviction, the statement says, that the government has no intention of producing any bill whatever, and that there will be promises made for the purpose of deceiving the house of commons and the Amer
ican government and the allied nations, of prejudicing the cause of Ireland in their eyes. The statement goes on to say that conscription would be not only an outrage of national right but a breach of faith. The complaint is made that British propaganda is creating prejudice against Ireland in America and an appeal is made to the United States to listen to Ireland's case as stated by Irishmen qualified to speak in her behalf.
TENSION CONTINUES ON WESTERN FRONT
(By Associated Press.) WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Thursday, May 16. The allies are still waiting for Field Marshal Hindenburg to show his hand. No more magnificant weather could be imagined than has favored the western front in the last 48 hours. But even this has brought no change in the military situation. The Germans continue to remain comparatively inactive in their sunbaked trenches and were it not for the grumbling guns, the clouds of dust along the lines of transport and the flight of airplane winging their way across the battle stone, it would be hard to realize that a war was going on. Notwithstanding this, there has been no relaxation of the tension which has existed along the front for many days. It is realized that the enemy may strike at any time. Certainly no one doubts that an ambitious offensive is in preparation and the time necessary to complete the plans must have about run its course. The delay is in itself an added indication that the next German push is to be one of great magnitude and fierceness. This next battle may easily be the crucial one, for the Germans undoubtedly will attempt once more to smash entirely through the allies lines.
ABINGTON TO HAVE PATRIOTIC MEETING
