> Captures Many Prizes at Lead' ing American Fairs. •Remarkable Showing Made at Interna* ticna! Live Stock Show at Chi cago—Carried Off Sweepstakes For All Wheat. Something that lends emphasis to, and affords definite proof of, the gen erosity of .the soil and climate of western Canada, is shown by the numerous exhibits made by both the government and individual fanners and stock raisers of that country, at mnny of the leading state and county fairs in the United States this season. Particularly Is this the case with re gard to exhibits made at the Inter national Live Stock Show recently held at Chicago. . First and foremost to the average fanner will appeal the fact that •Canada carried off the Sweepstakes for all wheat, and that out of a total of twenty-five prizes, Canada took twenty. In oats the Grand Champion ship was won by a farmer living in the Province of Alberta. Canada also was awarded the championship for Durinu wheat, while for Flint Corn out of a total of ten prizes, Canada took first, second, third, sixth and seventh. Not only in grains did Canada prove her right to rank as a first class agri cultural country, but she carried off many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, a partial list of which fol lows : Cattle, Canada was awarded the championship for Grade Shorthorns, also In the College Special class, Can ada gained first, fourth and sixth prizes. Horses, Grand Championship for Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham pionship for American bred mare, as well as first for threeryear-oUl Clydes dale stallion, first for one-year-old Clydesdale stallion, and second for the aged class.

With regard to the live stock shown it must be borne in mind that these have not been fed on corn, on which tlie average western farmer places his reliance, but on tlie wonderful oats ■and barley grown in western Canada, jfc supplemented by the native grasses, ■of which a most artistic display was made by our neighbors to tlie north. Canada has conclusively proved that not only can she take prizes for the grain she raises, but can also take prizes with the animals to which these grains have been fed, and this in open competition with the world •—Advertisement.

Chicago, Dec. 13 (United News).— A nation wide campaign is to be launched at once among the finan cial, commercial and agricultural in terests of the United States to obtain the $100,000,000 necessary to float the foreign trade financing corporation. Instant response to the appeals for this amount by the business interests of the country Is expected by the leaders who formed the corporation at a momentous conference here. As soon as it is procured, it will be used as a hypodermic to stimulate the paralyzed arm of foreign Industry, and, co-incidentally, secure the future of American export trade. McHugh to Announce Committee. “On my return to New York I will announce the names of the executive committee of nine members who are to work out the organization details of the corporation,” said John Mc Hugh, former Sioux City banker, chairman of the committee on perma nent organization, who is to be chair man of the board of directors, here Sunday. “As soon the the officers! are named, and the corporation is for mally launched, we will bring Into being a nation wide campaign for the $100,000,000 needed to start our work. He urged business men and farmers to subscribe. “You can be assured that there will be no delay through any fault of the organization committee.” McHugh Points Out Feature. Mr. McHugh declared the most in spiring feature of the decision of the great group of financial, farm and business leaders who decided to launch the corporation, was the “un animity of purpose of every branch of our business life." Western manufacturers, who have done extensive export business, were of one mind in declaring that exten sion of long time credits to Europe through the corporation was the one step needed to avert Industry par alysis in this country. “We have great faith in the future of the new corporation," said Edward N. Hurley, former chairman of the shipping board, and one of the most influential manufacturers in the west. “We, the manufacturers, have com plained in the past that we had no banks in foreign countries. Now we have the banks. Then we complained that we had no merchant marine. Now we have the merchant mariner Then we complained that we had no cus tomers. Now we have the customers. Then we insisted that they pay us in in gold. They have no gold. Our ex port business is, therefore, practi cally paralyzed. Where Corporation Comes In. "That is where this corporation "comes in. Through it we will be able to extend long credits, on gilt edged debentures. These debentures will be secured by the foreign govern ments. “This corporation is going to be profitable for the investor, but pri marily it is going to benefit the entire country. Evary manufacturer who makes goods for foreign sale, every man who works for him. and. indi rectly every other line of busines. “There are 35.000 manufacturers making goods here for export. Ev- - ery one of them should take stock in this corporation, and, I belive, will do so. “When the American farmer stops to think that one-third of his produce is raised for foreign consumption, and that low prices today are partly due to cessation of foreign buying, he too will be interested in this corporation.” Leaders here Sunday pointed out that this is the first time in American history when a corporation 'of this size has been organized “in the open.” Booth Emphasizes Point. Willis IT. Booth, vice president of the Guarantee Trust Company, em phasized this point: “Here is a great corporation organ ized in' the open and in the presence of the representatives of the press, without any inside group, without any founders’ stock, or bonus shares," he said. “Here also is an underwrit ing done in the open without discount commissions, or private profits. This is all as inspiring as it is unusual. It gives the corporation a moral start of the highest kind.” This point was also stressed by leaders of every group present at the conference. There was no skepticism ns to motives or purpose. The only “cold water" thrown, was in the form of telegrams from certain New York and New Jersey financial interests, who, leaders declared privately, “had a personal axe to grind." Who’ll Head Corporation? Considerable speculation is going the rounds as to who will head the new corporation. it was declared after an informal conference Sunday that Julius Barnes, former head of the United States Grain Corporation, had been offered the place, but had declined. It is known that Paul M. Warburg, New York financier, also declined the place. Herbert Hoover is also said to have been unable to serve. Hoover is a member of the permanent committee on organization and is expected to be a member of the board of directors. STORE IS ROBBED OF GEMS.

Neb., Dec. 13.—In the district court at St. Paul, Howard county, this morning, Judge Payne or dered a correction of the records of the case of the state against Alvin B.

Washington, Dec. 13 (United News). -The "Immediate outstanding duty of the country,” fn the opinion of Secretary of the Navy Daniels, whose annual report has just been jnactc . public here, is the provision for ade quate shore bases for the navy on the Pacific coast. “The day will never come when a powerful fleet will not he based In the Pacific,” says the secretary. Commenting on the recent inspec tion trip of the congressional joint committee, which visited the Pacific coast, Secretary Daniels says lie ex pects “they will place definitely be fore congress a comprehensive pro gram of naval base construction in consonance with the high strategic importance of this territory." Would Fortify Islands. "Hawaii, 'the cross roads of the Pacific,r" he declares, “is of such strategic importance and offers such possibilities of development that naval authorities agree that there should be created there a fleet-operating base extensive enough to accommo date the entire fleet with all auxil iaries.” The secretary adds that the pro ject for developing the Island of Guam, as a naval base is progressing, and that the naval station at Cavite, in the Philippines “is to be developed moderately.” 0 “Progress in Expansio.” Of the service as a whole. Secretary Daniels says that the task of build ing up the navy “has gone forward until we possess a navy worthy of America.” Taking his cue from I’r - ident Wilson’s speech in St. Louis in 1916, In which the president said the American navy “ought to be incom parably the most adequate navy in the world.” Secretary Daniels confi dently asserts that its attainment b now in sight. “For," he adds, “the navy today is incomparably stronger than ever before, and its power w.ll be greatly increased by the battle ships and cruisers now building.” He reports construction of the 16 capital ships authorized in the three year building program ol’ 1916 is go ing forward after its suspension dur ing the war. “These battleships of -1 ;i.2 >0 tor.« and battle cruisers of 43.Di : tons will.” he declares, “be larger and mint pow erful than any ! . : toy re built, tuu without an equal in speed and u power."

Senator From Iowa Demands Baker Explain Why There Was Discrimination Against Many. Tribune Washington Bureau. Washington. Dec. 13. -Senator Cummins announced Sunday that ho intended to go to ttie bottom of the action of the war department .n dis t.., minuting uguinst .soldiers of tho national army and national guard in the mutter of grunting war erodes and war medals. He has written a letter to Secretary Baker calling for a list of Iowa sol diers granted distinguished sort ico crosses or medals, a list of those rec ommended for such honors by their superior officers and a statement of the reasons why tjio recommenda tions of the superiors' were not fol lowed. Senator Cummins has taken this action with the backing of l ha Iowa delegation and at the instance of prominent members of the Ameri can Kxpeditlonary forces in Iowa. Such men as Col. Wilbur Conkllng, and Col. Guy S. Brewer, as well as others well known for their service in France, have protested in behalf of comrades who. it is alleged, have not had a square deal. Lasher Protests for lowans. Adjutant General Lasher conferred with Senator Cummins recently and protested in behalf of numerous Iowa veterans and American Legion posts, "With only 3 per cent, of the offi cers in the service at the front be longing to tho regular army, they have won over half the crosses," said Senator Cummins. “The national army and national guard have both been discriminated against in a man ner which is utterly indefensible and outrageous. I have asked Secretary Baker for the facts and while I have not heard from him it seems to me there is no defense for It.” Congressional Probe Likely. If Senator Cummins cannot get this matter straightened out under the regime of Secretary Baker, he will follow it up in the new administra tion and under the new secretary of war. Similar oomplaints are made In other states and it is not at all un likely there will be a general in quiry by the Senate or House mili tary committee Into the whole sub ject in a national wayT If the representations made by vet erans of the national army and the national guard are correct, there la no doubt such an investigation should be made.
