MARKETS

CORN PRICES GET DOWNWARD SWING

CHICAGO. May 27. Corn prices took decided downward swings today. Influenced by favorable weather. Likelihood of enlarged receipts tended also to give the bears an advantage. About the only .demand came from shorts.. Opening quotations, which ranged from the same as Saturdays finish to c lower, with June $1.37 and July $1.39 to $139. were followed by a slight rally and then by matreial declines. Oats sympathized with the weaknessof corn. Trade was light. After opening a shade to s lower, with July 65c to 65Tic. the market reacted somewhat and. underwent a fresh sag. . Provisions showed only transient effects from set backs in the value of hogs. Covering by shorts was more than a complete offsen.

URGENT NEED

Continued From Page One. upon which Increased taxes will be levied will be profits. 'Incomes of" calendar year 1918. It would be manifestly, unfair to wait until early months of 1919 to Bay what they are to be. It might be difficult I should imagine to run mill with water that had already gone over wheel. Moreover, taxes of that sort, will not be paid until June next year and treasury must anticipate them. It must use the money they are to produce before it is due. r : It must sell short time certificates of Indebtedness. In autumn a much larger sale of long time bonds must be effected than ' has yet b$en attempted. What are bankers to think of certificates if they do not certainly know where money is to come from which is to take them up and how are investors to approach the purchase of bonds with any sort of confidence or knowledge of their own. affairs if they do not know what taxes they are to pay and what economics and adjustments of their business . they must effect? I cannot assure . the country of a successful administration of the treasury in 1918 if question of further taxation is to be left undecided until 1919. The consideration that dominates every other new and makes every other seem , trivial and negligible, is winning of war.- We are not only in midst of war, we are at the very peak and crisis of it. Hundreds of thousands of our men, carrying our hearts with them and our fortunes, are in field, and ships are crowding faster and faster to ports of France and England with regiment after regiment, thousand ofter thousand after thousand to join them until the enemy shall be beaten and brought to reckoning with mankind. There can be no pause or intermission. Great enterprises must, on the contrary, be rushed with greater and greater energy. Volume of our might must steadily and rapidly be augmented until there can be no question of resisting-It. If that is to be accomplished, gentlemen, money, must sustain it to the utmost

(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 27. Although the president made no specific recommendation in his address for apportionment of bonds and taxes it. was learned authoritatively that in the proposal he recently advanced as the base for n agreement to postpone legislation the president suggested that approximately 40 percent be raised by taxation. This it was said was the stumbling block which prevented an agrement, republican leaders refusing to subscribe to any fixed apportionment. Senator Smoot of Utah, a republican member of the finance committee, declared if the facts outlined by the president were correct he did not see why the president ever considered a proposal for a recess.

LIEUT. EDENS IS HELD JY ENEMY Lieut. L. M. Edens of Petersburg, Neb., uncle of Mrs. E. M. Anderson of this city, who has more than twenty relatives In the armies opposing Germany, was captured by the enemy In Picardy, according to advices Monday. In a letter to relatives, written after the first offensive, Lieut. Edens writes : "One German said all the ground they had captured wasn't large enough to make a cemetery for their dead. Of course, he was exaggerating, but it gives one an idea of what they must have lost. I am afraid the Germans killed most of our wounded that had to be left. Some of our lads that were cut off and finally got back reported that the Hun was killing all the wounded. "It is reported that the American lads are coming in with the French and English battalions, but I haven't run across any of them yet. It will seem rather nice to meet some Hon-est-to-Go Americans again, but I hate to think of them being mixed up in that slaughter. "I am sorry that Fritz captured most of my belongings In the big scrap. It makes me about two-thirds mad, but I guess I ought to be thankful that he got them instead of rue. I'll have to admit there were a few times when he was to close to me for real comfort. -When I look back now it seems like a great big nightmare. The Germans have made quite an advance but it has been over a country that was already devastated. The ground is one mass of shell holes which are filled with water."

THRIFT STAMP

Continued From Page One. made the thrift stamp campaign one especially designed for small savings, and to interest the children. Since the policy in that respect has been changed, it is necessary to treat the thrift stamps and war certificates as a bond Issue, and all persons who can

afford to do so, are urged to invest to the thousand dollar limit, or as near the limit as they can afford. The present standing in thrift stamp subscriptions shows Indiana leading in all states east of the Missouri river, the sixth district leading in Indiana, and Wayne county leading In the sixth district Four Townships Over. In Wayne township four townships have already exceeded their annual quota for thrift stamps sales. Abington stands highest of any township in the United States, with 190 percent of the annual quota already subscribed. Center township stands 150 percent, Harrison township 110 percent, and Jefferson township has attained its allotment. In order to stimulate interest in the drive of this week, the state director of the campaign has placed with each county director an honor flag, which may be retained by the county that subscribes its allotment for the week. Those counties which are unable to subscribe their quota for that time, are required to return the flag, wrapped in black. The list of counties that are unable to obtain the alloted quota will be published. Reports on the progress of the campaign will be received at seven o'clock each evening this week.
