Cash corn is flabby and wimout tne oats boost corn would likely be lower. United States government report Just about a standoff. Car news suggests somewhat larger corn receipts next we'ek. Cash wheat about 6 cents higher. No. 2 white oats at $L224 compares with $1.19 yesterday. Oats bulls say crop is not doing well but our reports today are all good. It may take another day to reduce bullish oats felling, when oats turns corn should break a few cents. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. WAGNER fc CO., 212 Union National Bank Build. Ing.

EARLHAM HONORS (Continued from Page One) College takes pleasure in bestowing upon you an honorary degree." Dr. Edward A. Steiner, the commencement speaker, is a professor in Grinnell college, la. He was born in Austria and educated in various universities of Europe. In America he is known as one of the leading authorities on questions of immigration, having written 12 books on this subject In 1903 he went to Russia as a special representative of the Outlook. His talk, which was on labor and the need of clear thinking, was not long, but noteworthy. He emphasized his point that if America is to decay it will "start from Fifth Avenue and its like and go down, and not from the slums of the country." Calls Them "Rebarbarians". He characterized certain forms of "leisure civilization" as "rebarbarism." i Appeals to Alumni for Help Following the presentation of degrees. President Edwards outlined the status of the college, both from a pedagogical and financial standpoint, pleading that the alumni hearken to the call for a better and better Earlham. "Through the help of the constituents of the college and the city of Richmond we have just finished the most successful year in the history of Earlham. and yet our deficit amounts to several thousand dollars which the endowment fund has not covered," said the president. "For this reason we are going to have to increase the college tuition the coming year and look to you who are our friends to help the institution." President Edwards announced that dormitory additions must be made before the opening of the college next fall. "Unless this is done we will be unable to care for more than 25 additional freshmen," said he. "However, we are going to care for them." He further pointed out the need for a new gymnasium and additional laboratory facilities. Violin and vocal solos were given by Miss Miriam Hadley and Cyril Pitts. Miss Hadley played TartinlKriesler's "Variation Uber Un Thema Von Corilli" and Mr. Pitts sang "Christ in Flanders," by Ward-Stevens, and "Parting." Miss Hadley was accompanied by her sister, Miss Helen Hadley. Miss Mary Carmen played for Mr. Pitts and presided at the pino during the entrance and exit march of the graduates. 3 DELEGATES (Continued from Page One) ed by the Wood supporters as tending to aid in holding delegations instructed for him in line during the ballotinz. Admittedly, any development which would have that effect would be valuable to any candidate. Aside from gueses to what more than 500 uninstructed delegates will do when the roll is called for their votes, the main topic of conversation, assertion, counter assertion and eonipcture has been the number of ballots through which the "big three" can hold the lines of their instructed coherts. Should their forces remain firm indefinitely the search for a darkhorse will begin in earnest to break the three-way deadlock that would result. Speech on Program. Little business confronted the delegates when they assembled for the day. With the temporary organization to be made permanent no speech of the permanent presiding officer was cn the program. Matters in order were reports of the resolutions committee as to its progress in shaping up a platform for ratification and that of the credentials committee on the permanent roll of the convention on which the voting will be done. The resolutions committee worked late, but it still had many Interests to hear from when it resumed today. Among those to be heard today was Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, bearing suggestions he did not outline in advance. Added importance attached to his appearance because of the fact, that the federation is now committed to full political activity.

Public Doesn't Think Much Of Proposals For A New Coin; Say There's Enough What do you think of the bill recently introduced in the senate by Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, regarding the coining of seven and eight cent pieces? Unanimous opinion of several business men was that even though many articles that used to be bought for five rpnts nre now sellinc for seven and eight, the one cent, five cent, 10 cent, I 25 cent, 50 cent and ?1 coins were all that was necessary. "The time was," said one man, "when such coins as the two cent piece, three cent piece, and 20 cent piece were in circulation. We do not have them now and I do not think we need them because with our present denominations we can make up the amount of any figure." Another man said that if there were to be any change in the coinage he would like to see a three dollar bill. In nearly every case, however, Richmond men thought the cost of producing the additional denominations would cost more than the change would be worth. A traveling man was consulted and he told of a plan adopted by a street car company of St. Louis. To avoid the necessity of making change, the company has issued "tokens," worth seven and eight cents. The seven cent ones are made of aluminum, and the eight cent, coins are of bronze. These pieces are purchased by the public and accepted as money on the cars. The seven cent pieces sell two for 15 cents when purchased in small quantities, but are sold at seven cents straight when taken in lots of 10 or more. The eight cent pieces are for those who have not tokens when they get on the car. It costs these people i cent more. This makes it more economical to purchase them in large numbers. COUNTERFEIT W. S. S. FOUND BY FEDERAL OFFICERS Another counterfeit of the blue War Savings stamp of the 1919 series is worrying the federal officers. Notice of this second counterfeit has been sent from Washington on the heels of a similar notice of a different counterfeit found only a few weeks ago. The new counterfeit is said to be well printed from a steel plate, but to be somewhat lighter in color than the genuine. The most marked defect is said to be a distinct white vertical line appearing along the left cheek of the picture of Franklin. Other minor defects are noted, all of which are said to be so slight as to require expert examination to discover them. War Savings stamps are not transferrable and should be bought only at the postoffice.
