GRAIN QUOTATIONS E. W. WAGNER & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO. March 8. Many locals in corn have sold out. The crowd evidently believes corn a bulge sale. The corn resrve of 884 million is 134 million above the bull guesses. Illinois has 176 million corn which is nearly 4 million above 1917, when summer corn famine developed. On March 10 if market is higher it will be up for 30 days and thirty day advances are usually an extreme, a limit. The hog price remains a factor. The market trend looks unsettled. Bulges after a big advance are rarely permanent. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. Phone 1720. CHICAGO. March 8.

Plan United States Chamber of Agriculture Farmers Urged to Give Their Opinion on Important Matter Br P. G. HOLDEN

THERE Is a United States Chamber of Commerce. Nearly every other industry except farming has a similar organization. Many think there should be a "uiu States Chamber of Agriculture. The plan has aroused much interest and met with the endorsement of many prominent farmers and business men in Illinois and other states. It is believed that such an organization would be a big step forward in the present reconstruction movement. Agriculture is and must be the greatest factor in reconstruction. Thla Is no time for little things. We need a Chamber of Agriculture that is big enough and broad enough to realize the importance of creating such conditions in the country that our best and brightest and brainiest people will be attracted to the farm, for the reason that the activities of the city are measured by the productive power of these farms. We must not forget that agriculture calls for our best thought and our best effort We must remember that farming is the biggest, the most important job on earth, because every other man's job depends upon the job of the farmer. If the farmer quits, the merchant will have to quit, the manufacturer will have to quit, the railroad man will have to quit, the laboring man will have to quit. The whole machinery of human endeavor and human government will cease even life, itself. The most Important thing on earth is a human being; the next most important thing is that which makes It possible for that human being to exist the production of food. Must Deal With Farm Problems. A Chamber of Agriculture would Jal with farm problems constructively with transportation, legislative and similar problems. Never should it become merely a bureau of statistics Every moment it shoald be active, energetic. While It should be nonpolitical and nonpartisan. It should be a factor m securing of legislative enactments necessary for the fullest agricultural development and the meeting of vital economic problems. If In these days we do not have men who measure up to the demands of the hour an hour that calls for great men there can be little hope for us In the future, when much of the lesson of today ehall have been forgotten. The writer would like to hear from farmers of America regarding th plan. Will you let me know what you think of it? In wh.it way, in your opinion, could the idea be best developedC Where should the Chamber of Agriculture be located 2 What ffcoulcl be its policy? What work should it tike tip? : 5?f J How should it be supported? " ' i If you have any other suggestions will you Idadly favor me with them, addressing me, Harvester Building, Chicago.

MANY KILLED IN LEMSERG ATTACK (By Associated Press LEMBERG, Thursday, March 6 Notwithstanding the fact that fighting is still going on here between the Poles and Ukrainians with the latter bombarding the city, there is still hope that an armistice may be arranged between the contending forces. It is believed, however, that before a truce is established there will be more severe fighting. The renewed bombardment of the city has been attended by considerable loss of life, among civilians and damage to public buildings and works of art. The people move about the city freely during the day but the artillery fire is very heavy at night. An average of 200 shells falls in the city during the course of a day, most of them being aimed at the railway station. Some projectiles, however, have fallen in residential sections and two have struck the residence of Arch Bishop Shiptusky, a noted Ukranian patriot. Small shells have also struck the Ruthenian church and others have damaged the home of Count Pininsky, 1 which is famous for its art gallery, containing works of Gainsborough, Constable, Corot, Raphael, Rembrandt, Botticelli and Romnais. Boys Held in Connection With Liberty Bond Theft (By Associated Press NEW YORK, March 8 Five boys, ranging in age, "xom sixteen to twenty, are under arrest today charged with assault and robbery following the daring hold-up yesterday in the financial district of Milton Strohm, a brier's messenger, of liberty bonds and other securities valued at $63,000. The boys, three of whom are brothers, and all messengers for brokerage houses, the police say were associated in the robbery, nrohm was struck on the head and 1 iis bag containing the liberty bonds and securities seized. He was so severely injured that he had to be taken to the hospital. Information given to the police by Strohm led to the arrest last night of Gustave Mignone, twenty and his brother, Anthony, eighteen, at their home in the Flatbus hsection of Brooklyn. Another brother, Theodore sixteen, was arrested early today in a lodging house. Court Records j Agnes Helms was granted a divorce from William R. Helms on the grounds of failure to provide and abandonment, in circuit court Saturday morning, ana was given the custody of the couple's child. She is not to re-marry within two years. Many cases of truancy came before Judge Bond in juvenile court. Judgment was suspended in all of them, pending good behavior by the offenders. Backbone of Harbor Strike Is Broken (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, March 8. With the backbone of the harbor strike broken, through the agreement of the employes of the railroad boats to return to work immediately, efforts were made today, by James L. Hughes, a conciliator of the federal department of labor to induce the private boat owners to agree to the term3 granted yesterday by the railroad administration. These terms included the granting of an eight-hour day and wage increases amounting to more than thirty percent in some cases. About five thousand of the strikers, employes of the railroad administration, returned to their duties during the night and early today representatives of the remaining 11,000 strikers planned to hold a conference during the day with officials of the New York Boatowners' association and the United States Shipping Board. Brazil Is the second largest consumer of paper and paper products in South America, importing more than $13,000,000 worth in 1916. but the outlook for an increased trade in this line is not promising because of the country's slow eduucatlonal development.

The "Eternal" Bureau

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 8. A letter received today by the Internal revenue bureau from a citizen of Lima, Ohio, complained bitterly against the prospect of having to pay income taxes not only this year, but next year, and thereafter. After reading the letter carefully, the officials wondered whether the writer was a humorist or a bad speller, for the complaint was addressed to the "Eternal" revenue bureau.

Merchant Sailors (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 8. Uniforms resembling those worn by the regular navy sailors, but having distinctive insignia have been designed by the shipping board for the young apprentices now in training at the various school ships.

Angered by the belief that his seatmate had stolen his money, which he; had transferred from one pocket to another, James N. West, of Alabama City, Ala., Ehot and killed W. O.Kittinger, of Bridgeport, Conn., on a northbound Chesapeake and Ohio railtrain at Peoria, 10 miles west of the Ohio-Indiana state line Friday evening. West was taken Into custody by trainmen, and was taken off the train when it arrived at Richmond at 8:50. He made full confession upon his arrival at the Richmond police station. West was turned over to the authorities from Franklin county Saturday, as the killing occurred in Franklin county and his hearing will be held there. Shot Four Times. Kittinger died twenty minutes after the shooting and his body was removed here and taken to a local undertaker. He was shot four times, twice in the arm, once in the right side of the chest and once in the center of the chest. Coroner S. Edgar Bond held the autopsy Saturday. West, a man of about 45 years old, said he had four children in Alabama City, the oldest about sixteen years old, and that his wife died in 1912. He said he was on his way to Muncie to work in the Broderick boiler shop there, and exhibited a letter from Tom Broderick of Muncie, telling him to come to work. Pocketbook Found. The dead man was about 25 years old, and was apparently on his way to Boston, Ind., to work In a restaurant. His home address is 78 Courtland street, Bridgeport, Conn., and his next best friend is given on his identification card as B. Knapp, of Elwood, Ind. West's pocketbook and his money were found in a breast pocket when he was searched at the police station. Forty dollars, which was about the amount he said he had, was the amount found. It is evident that th money was transferred to one pocket from another and that he thought he had lost it. He made a full confession to Chief of Police Gormon and Prosecutor Gath Freeman. He was confused and doubtful in his statements and repeatedly said he did not know what happened during the minute or so of the shooting, but "supposed he must have" shot Kittinger. He had a half-pint bottle of whiskey, partly empty, and said that what was drunk from the bottle was all he had had to drink, although he was plainlv intoxicated while being questioned. He said that somebody hit him, knocking him to his knees, and apparently was confused from that point. "That is all I know," he said repeatedly, "I can't remember what did happen then." However, he admitted that. "Whoever it was hit me I shot him." Signs Confession. Before the shooting, he said, he had gone to get a drink of water, and on coming back to his seat had felt in his pocket for his money, intending to get some chewing gun. He found it gone "from my left pants pocket, where I always keep It and I says to this fellow, T believe you have my pocketbook.' " "He went away and came back again, and offered me a drink of some stuff, I don't know what it was. I took a drink and somebody hit me and knocked me down. I got up and asked him again about it and he didn't give me no satisfaction. I don't know what happened then." To direct questions as to whether he had not shot Kittinger then, he said impatiently again, 'T don't know what happened then, I told you," but said he probably shot Kittinger, and consented to 6ign the confession saying he had done so. Trainmen say that Instead of West being struck by anyone, when he accused Kittinger of stealing his pocketbook, the latter threw up his hands and said half-jokingly, "Search me!" and that West then pulled his gun and shot Guarded by Trainman. The revolver, a thirty-two caliber pearlhandled Smith and Wesson, was taken from West by a trainman who guarded him until the train reached Richmond.
