The market closed steady at c net advance with May $1.26. Oats gained -o to 0 o and provisions 15010c. Corn was Influenced throughout the sea- lion by a prevalent belief that as a result of balloting which took place today the di rectors would immediately authorize pit dealings in the July delivery, and that the option would command about 91.40- a bushel. Oh this basis it was figured that May would rise to $1.2$, the highest figure which the rule permit. Oatt were unsettled, sympathy with corn strength being at -times offset by excellent crop and weather reports. Etporteri atktd foi often, but made no bid.

"On the curb we place on our ap petites depends the success of our men and the allies in Europe." This note of warning and advice is contained in a special niessafie lent out by the national and state food administrations for today, the first anniversary of America's entrance in the great world war. Th message is a review on the food situation of the present and is a call for 'even greater sacrifices, that food may' be lent to the allies. In part, the message fol lows; Must Have Food. "One year ago today the United States ceased to be a neutral nation. By entering the war we tacitly pledged the allies our fullest meas ure of support. They needed men, hundreds, thousands of them and we are sending them: They had to have food, hundreds of thousands of tons and we have been sending it. "Their need is greater today than it has been at any time since the war cloud first broke. They still need men, but they must have food. We can send millions of men, inexhaust ible suppliei of ammunition but they will be of no avail if we fail to support the troops ever there and the people behind them. If the food fails them, they will fail. "The whole country is asked today to celebrate 'National Win the War Day.': Its obervance has a twofold significance. It may be observed as the first anniversary of our entry into the war, a thinksgiving for the prog ress we have made, or it may be made a day upon which we pledge and repledge our effort, thought and sac rifice that we may be able to extend the allies the fullest possible meas ure ot assistance. Depends on United States. "We know now that never have the allied nations faced a grimmer struggle for existence than confronts them today. We know that only to AVuerica may they turn lor assistance. The strength of those people -over there depends solely upon us. btarv ing people cannot ' uphold their ar mies. And the armies, even if they are fed, cannot be kept in the field if the men know that privation and want are added to the suffering back home. "We must face the fact that there is not in this country enough food to meet the actual necessities of Europe if we maintain our normal consumption. We must feed them, but we have left in America only the amounts which would normally be consumed before another harvest. We can export only what we save. If our savings are small, Europe will be un derfed the war will be lost. Greatest Ne$d Is Wheat. "The greatest need in Europe to day is for wheat. They must have millions of bushels. Seventy-five million bushels on the first day of this year was needed to tide them over until July 1. "As long ago as the first of last December we had exported our entire wheat surplus. Since then we have been able to ship only what our peo ple have saved and we are falling be hind on the program. "So grave has become the situation that today it is no exaggeration to declare that he who wastes a slice of wheat bread is actually hindering tlje prosecution of war and endangering our chances for victory. Our wheat consumption must be cut to one and one-half pounds per weeka reduc tion of SO oer cent. This is a mili tary necessity and should be viewed in no other light There is one way every one of us can help by standing guard over our nation's larder. Across the sea they need badly the four principal staples we are being asked to save meats, wheat, fats and sugar. But most of all they need wheat. Waste it, and we are wasting lives.

LAW TAKES HAND AGAINST SLAYER $ OF GERMAN MINER Coroner Applies for Warrants to Arrest Suspects; Gover - nor Lowden Threatens Martial Law. Collinsville, 111., April 6. The cor oner of Madison county today applied for warrants for the arrest of five men whom he had been informed were in the mob that lynched Robert Prager early Frjllay morning. Four justices of the peace refused to issue warrants. Inquest over the body of Frager is set for next Monday. Mose John son, district board member of the United Mine Workers of America, has promised that "at the proper" mo ment lie will issue a statement to show that members of the mob were in possession of certain information that caused them to take drastic ac tion. Martial Law Threatened. Frager came to thii district a vcar ago and obtained work in the mines at Maryville. A month ago his pro nounced socialistic views are said to have bordered on the disloyal and for that reason he was then threat ened with violence bv the miners there. Continued advocacy1 of radical so cialistic doctrine is said to have led to his arrest Thursday night, which was followed by his being dragged irom the city ball here and hanged on a public hichwav. Governor Lowdeu has warned local officials that a recurrence of the affair probably will result in a proclamation of martial law. In answer to this warning several cities have taken precaution to curb demonstrations against alleged disloyal persons. The four justices gave as a reason for refusing to issue the warrant that "they didn't care to get mixed up in the matter." One of the justices yes terday was surrounded by men in a saloon Imd asked to sign H pledge of loyalty. He complied. Coroner Lowe said he would ask the state's attorney to issue the war ants, and that he thought the" five men desired would be under arrest before night.

Boyd Jones Returns With Impression Home Builders Will Receive Material Con signments as Needed. 'A conference of building con tractors and material manufacturers was held in Chicago this week" said W. Boyd Jones, superintendent of con struction of the Hosje Builders' com pany, wild returned from the confer ence Saturday. "I picked up a number of items of information, one of which, was that the large contractors said that the two ctiics in which building opera tions are most active are Washing ton, D. C, and Omaha. In the former city there is' much government work but in Omaha' various kinds of bidd ings are going up, yet none of them conflict with the government's pre scribed limitation!' Transportation Improved. "i learned also that the transporta tion west of Chicago is much itn proved and the contractors felt as sured that they would be able to net cars for carrying the building, ma terial needed. I left the conference feeling that Home Builders would re ceive render consienments as need ed throughout the building season and that the woik ,bn hand would not be further delayed. "I had hoped to bring back word of prospects for lower prices of build in material cement, plaster, terra cotta, etc., but regret to say that the situation is not favorable.

But as American life expanded into national, and then ; international compass, people demanded news from other cities and countries. " And so, in 184cCthe publishers of a number of leading American newspapers formed a mutual organization which was named the Associated Press. In effect, these newspapers combined their newtgathering staffs, supplying each other with the important news, each within his own particular territory. ? Later were added special Associated Press correspondents tyid foreign correspondents. Incidentally, a vast organization was set on foot to transmit the dispatches over the telegraph wires.' From this beginning hay grown the great Associated Press of to-day. Its membership reaches Into almost every city and town .of importance; in the country 1,080 are on the tolls. It commands th services of, 52,000 special correspondents, and its ffreign corre spondents cover every city in the civilized world. It operates 22,000 miles of leased telegraph wires every day, and 30,000 miles every night. It is the largest and most efficient news gathering or-.:, ganization in the world.

Washington, April 6. Fresident Wilson had before him today a plan . submitted by officials of the War and Labor departments designed to use the machinery of the draft to put indus trial slackers to work. Although the president's attitude toward the pro posal, which would affect, in one way or another, the status of everyone of the millions of registered men, has not been indicated, officials appeared confident that he will regard it favor ably. '.' The main purpose of the new pro gram as agreed upon by the provost marshal general's office and Labor dc. partment officials is to "purify" the first, second, third and fourth classes of registrants, who are hot engaged in productive industry, but the lower section of class one also is given at tention. -; Solve Labor Problems.' v Framers of the plan see in its work ing a solution of the nation's labor problem and a large increase in the production of the necessities of life. Every registered man who his been , given a deferred classification wotihj, be given to understand that his ex- emption is not a legal right, but a privilege, and that if unfair advantage is taken of that privilege it will be revoked. The proposal provides for a survey of the lower sections, of class one and other classes to identify idlers, or those getting their living from undesirable or "harmful" pur suits. Gambling is suggested under the latter head. Notificatfbn would be served on these hien that unless they found employment in useful in dustry their status would be changed and they would be inducted into the military service immediately. - : Enormous War Gaini.- . The principal increase to the labor supply is expected to be derived from men in the lower sections of'class one whose poftiou in that clas$, gives them practically deferred classifica tion. . With the addition of those who have reached the age, of 21 since the passage of the selective service act, class one will Include not les than 2,200,000 men. Even should the pro portion of those who ate hot engaged m productive work be small, the'aff- gregate will run into the hundreds of thousands. At present the ton tier of men in class one in any local district may be composed entirely of men who are steadily employed in valuable indus-' tries, while just below them in the same class may be a number of idlers. In such a case it is planned to warn the latter that they must seek em-, pioymcni or tneir status on tne list will be altered to insure their beinir drafted ahead of the workers.
