So says Governor Arthur Capper of Ritisas, has the ring of truth in it. And what he says Unhappy, disappointed men cannot win anywhere in peace- ful pursuits or in wartime oeeupations. There is but this difference: His much easier to bring unhap- piness' and discontent to a man near the battlefield’s roar or in the soldier’s t ing camp than if he were stationed elsewhere. A mother, a sister a friend can do if, uncon: nd with- out a knowledge of the results. Letters of the riety may bring unhappiness to ihe soldier's heart, especially those teeming with fear for the beloved boy's safets The patriotic thing to do, the thing which wil your boy’s days “OVER THERE, and which w ingly in winning the war is to write cheerful letters, gossipy let- ters, the letters which bring a smile to the eve and take one’s mind off the grimn of war, the roar of guns and the mud of the | trenches.

MINIMUM PROSPECTS REGARDING SHIPMENTS Chicago, Ills. Jan. 11.—Intensified transportation difficulties throughout the west, together with fading optim- ism in regard to peace tended today to lift the corn market. Prices closed unsettled at 1.274% Jan. and 1.25%@ % May, the same as yesterday's fin- ish to quarter cent higher. Oats gained 5% @ % to 14@3%e. In pro- visions the resulted varied from ic decline to 30¢ advance. Fresh snowstorms and forecasts of severe cold weather made corn trad- ers pay special attention to a de- crease in rura] notices of consign- ments and to complaints of a short- age of motive power on western rail- roads. Advices were at hand also which indicated that efforts at prompt distribution of cars in the corn belt were being greatly hampered by ad- ‘ish views on the subject of Advances however, were cked by knowledge that on ac- count of multiplied railroad *embar- goes shipments to the east from here had been rendered almost impossible. Oats showed decided strength ow- ing chiefly to the failure of peace talk to be confirmed. Furthermore re- ceipts continued io dwindle.

But while transac- quarters \tisly enlarged, and though in the east [the moderation of temperatures has | brought welcome relief and better- | ment in working conditions, there re- !mains considerable hesitation nearly re-| everywhere because of existing doubts s to future economic changes, and severe storms in the west have ser- iously hampered business. From an operating standpoint, the j general industrial situation is far rom s' aciory, notwithstanding re- rts of a freer movement of fuel in j some sections, and the curtailment of production has unfortunately been ended at a time when the pressure of war ne ning at many I ablishments. With outputs further reduced, it has bhe- ingly difficult and in impracticable to meet all and not a few profitable contracts have of necessity rejected. Weekly bank clearings $19,989.
