Drawing on his experience of many years, he urged that a spe- cfal effort be mads to render attrac- tive to young men service in the Na- tional Guard. Regimental spirit_1s paramount, according to Maj. Ed. wards, and one of the best ways of acquiring such spirit is the adoption of a distinctive full dress uniform for wear during time of peace, for soclal and other occasions not strictly in the category of National Guard dut: The presiding officer took the view that the business portion of the com- munity could be relied on to support a regiment representative of the Dis. trict of Columbia, such as 5th Regi- ment, in Baltimore.

She has commented on the memoirs of the grand duchess, whi have just been published by Friedrich Hindenlang. “Grand Duchess Louise was one of the very few people whose views, es jally In family matters, William 1 respected,” said the baroness. “Whenever, in the fam councils the Kaiser supported decisions taken by him with the words. v aunt from Baden agrees with me,’ evervbody in the imperial family knew that further objections were futile. “And so, in connection with his re ‘marriage,also, the Kaiser sought the advice of his aunt from Baden.

By the Associated Press CHICAGO, March 5.—A movement is on foot to induce farmers to keep their .corn in their cribs for several months until the present glut of sup- plies in terminal elevators is taken care of. There are now about 23,000, 000 bushels of ‘corn in Chicago eleva- tors, the demand for which is unsat- isfactory« Illustrating the manner in which supplies are piling up. the receipts of corn here this week have totaled 3,- 333,000 bushels, whereas only 555,000 bushels were shipped out. Some of the big elevators here are 1927—PART 1. filled to capacity and have withdrawn from the market. The movement of corn to Chicago has been running heavier than anticipated, partly be- cause a number of interfor elevators are filled up and the grain is diverted to this market. Much of the corn is of low grade. A number of Board of Trade firms are sending advices to farmers to hold back their corn until July and sell the July delivery now. July corn is bringing a premium of § cents over May price and the later is at a pre- mium over cash corn. Even the No. 2 grades of corn sell at a discount under May price and some of the low grades are as much as 23 cents under May price. The supply of corn back in the country is smaller than a year ago, but this cannot be a market factor while terminal markets are glutted. e Woman Sues for $15,000. Anna M. Ryan has sued Guy W.
