" WAGNER GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Jan. 8. Grain news linn. Cars very scarce and few signs of loosening up before fourteen days. Some grades of cash corn one to three cents higher. Oats strong; about onehalf million taken late yesterday. Some further rye and oats business on tap. ' Lack of corn movement to Chicago causes various points to wire liberal bids to the belt. Locals are a shade conservative, owing to early January rise In corn and oats and do not entirely like the idea of serious bulge so ecrly in the year. Overnight expect bulge sales in all grain.

NURSE WILL BE USED BY SOCIAL SERVICE BUREAU Reports were "received from the various committees ' and the general

secretary, at the - regular monthly

"meeting or the board or aireciors 01 vv" the social service bureau held at the

Y. M. C. A. Thursday noon. The cases . receiving attention during the past month numbered 129, representing 112 families. Of this number,- 75 were referred for some form of relief and 54 for other kinds of service. Ninety-three visits were made to or on behalf of these families. Eightyfour Interviews were held with clients fn th nffirn. K2 with mmiltanti and t 65 interview's were had by telephone; making a total of 294 items of work iu connection with the 112 families The Home service committee re-! ported that during the month of December service was rendered to 53 soldiers or members of their families. The greater part of the service was of a technical character as in the proceeding months. Thirty-two visits were made, by representatives of the department in this connection. Relief, in the form of loans was given to the amount of $98.38 to seven ex-service men or members of their families. The Child welfare committee reported several children looked after. A school girl whose father is dead was referred in need of glasses. These figures do not include the work done in connection with the home . service department, the Christmas seal campaign and other special srvice. The report showed that some very difficult problems have been dealt with. In a number of cases only advise and an opportunity to help themselves was needed.

Demands for relief from the town ship fund have been fewer than for the same period of last year. Several families who were formerly dependent in part are. now caring for themselves. The chief aim of the bureau is to help people to help themselves instead of doling out charity. Nurse to Be Hired.
