wocal GRAIN QUOTATIONS E. W. WAGNER A. CO.'8 LETTER CHICAGO, May 24. The grain market appears to have reached a congested cash demand situation. Receipts nearly, worn out And eastern consumers are forced to economize. New York -receivers expect Argentine corn to keep things moving. Corn planting oyer 25 Ter cent o$ the belt is seriously delayed by wet weather. Current corn prices, however, appear to. represent almost any factor and food leaders are still working to check food prices. The reselling of grain products and canned meats also lead to bulge celling. . . CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 -Union National Bank Building. Phone 1720. CHICAGO, May 24.

MAIIY 'PROMINENT FRIENDS ENTERTAINED BY FRIENDS IN PARIS DESCRIBED BY MARVEL

The following letter received by Dr. and Mrs. Charles Marvel from their son Josiah Marvel, who is in charge of the Hostel In Paris, was written April 29, and tells of the interesting workers in France. The letter follows: i We have had such a good time this evening that I want to write you about it, although I ought to be in bed. Once a week we have been having as guests for dinner some representatives from the different commissions: Czechoslovaks, Slavs, Roumanians, Serblansr English, American, etc Our guests for last evening sent word that they would come tonight Instead and I was paralyzed because I had invited Mr. and Mrs. Hoff for tonight and I didn't know what sort of complications might arise, because I Invited Ida Tarbell and her invitation was cancelled. All the older men and executives of the mission were out of town at the monthly committee meeting at Grange so It was up to me to engineer it all myself. Everything went off smoothly and delightfully. At ten minutes of seven one of the fellows brought in a box of candy from Carolina Wood, who arrived In Paris at 5:30. I immediately called her on the phone and told her she must come to dinner. She said .she had already started her soup, but I told her I was sending a taxi and for her to put her bonnet on and she said she would. So the guests arrived. Major Beaslee, Swarthmore graduate, New York lawyer, a bachelor, and a good friend of Warren Barrett, Mrs. Andrews, from Boston. She is a prominent eduator and is the woman from America who represents us on the woman's council of five. Lady Aberdeen is the English representative. Mrs. Andrews was present at the peace conference the 14th of Feburary, when Wilson first read the pact for the League of Nations and . she was again present when it was unanimously accepted by the delegates of twelve billions of people Then I had invited some of our workers who were living at the Brittainque Hild Holmes, who has been working with Belgian orphans; Lena Cadbury, who has been doing civilian relief south of Rheims; Syclses, an English fellow who was driving for years in the English-French ambulance in Italy; Tom Cope, who has been here for years and did building work on the Somme. There are two Mennonites here who are on their way back to America. They have been In Turkey, Syria and Palestine investigating some relief work which their work is doing there. Altogether a very cosmopolitan company. Dinner was very simple but very good. It rather amused me to watch these millionaries eating off our plain wax board tables with kitchen knife and fork and no napkins. I assured Mrs. Hoff that we lived very simple but at the same time placed her chair for her as if I Were seating her for the most gorgeous banquet. After dinner we had coffee served on the library table. At first I called upon Mrs. Hoff to talk. There isn't a woman in France who knows more about work with students and college women than she does. She was charming and said very much the spiritual message that Mrs. Besser would give. She said some nice things about us and our work and in return I expressed our appreciation for the Hostel, and what it had always stood for (Mr. and Mrs. Hoff owned the Hostel which was formerly an art school.) Then I intro duced Mrs. Andrews who talked upon the conference, the educational work women are so concerned about and what the women have done. Praises Womsn Representatives. And right here I want to say that the women of the world have been mighty well represented in Paris. They have conducted themselves with most extraordinary tact and have got themselves in the good graces of everyone. There has been none of this hair-pulling, window-smashing suffragism. Of course President Wilson, being interested in suffrage, has helped them and made It easier. She is an authority on the league of nations, and lectures to the army upon it whenever she has an opportunity. She wound up her talk by saying what is necessary is universal education, not In schools and colleges alone, but of the masses upon the question of worldwide importance. I followed up her talk Dy-the telling the story of Jim Watson's meeting at the Coliseum at which time everyone had a codv of the league pact and studied it article bv article. That really was a most extraordinary occasion, quote the most intellectual effort that Richmond has made in a long time. They were all very much interested in It and I do hope it will be followed up by more speeches on these most Important current topics. Then I introduced Major Beaslee, who Is in charge of army courier service. You prabably cannot realize how important that branch of the service. You probably cannot realize how important that branch of the service is, but before he took charge it was taking 21 days for important documents to go from Paris Jp Washington. Now it takes" eleven"days. Now he has gotten this established between i all the important cities of Europe. He also is ftelping Hoover with his food program. The American courier service is carrying the official documents for all the ' delegations of the peace conference to their countries and capitals. He was a very fine man and most interesting. Tells of Relief Work. Then I tailed upon Caroline Wood as being the last arrival from home and asked her for news as to America and relief plans for Germany, Russia, Serbia, etc. Of course you know the peppy interest she puts in a talk. Mr. and Mrs. Hoff knew her father, who is Joseph Wood, president of the American Bible society, and had seen him in 1914, which of course made a J very pieasani udk Detween tnm. and Mrs. Andrews is on the board of directors of a girls' student hostel in Boston, which is modelled after one In Paris and she did not realize until after Bhe got hero, that this is the hostel, and she of course was very much interested. Then I called upon Mr. Hoff, who never speaks anyplace and - asked him to tell us about the American Clearing' house which I had heard that he had been president of. In the first two years of the war they distributed ten million dollars worth of supplies to refugees and hospitals. He also told us about this hospital which

they have maintained . for -r French wounded. Then one of the'Menbnite , men told us a littleof what" they had;, seen in Syria and Turkey, and.wha' they were trying to' de there. -- zst Mr. Hoff, president of the Standard Oil in France is, I suppose, one of -the biggest business .men over- hr:'--T appreciated ' the opportunity "of " having such delightful people In my saloiu .
