CORN AND OATS FOLLOW
Cash wheat on the Omaha market
made a rapid, climb toward the $3
mark, selling all the way from $278
tip to $2.85 per bushel, an advance of
12 to 18 cents over night. A new top
vas marked up and even at the high
prices the tables were cleared of all
the offerings and buyers clamored for
more, the demand coming; largely
from mills. Receipts were fifteen car
loads. A new top price was marked up on
corn when the cereal advanced 3 to
4Jj cents and sold at $1.53(al.64!4
a bushel. Receipts were sixty-five
carloads and nothing remained un
sold when the market closed.
Oats shot up 2',i(g2'j cents, estab
lishing a new high and selling at
around 7il cents per bushel, with
fifty-three carloads on the market.
The option was fully as strong as
the cash and the advance nearly as
great.

On the Omaha exchange the May
wheat sold at $2.602.72H, as against
.$2.522.61 Wednesday, while Chi

was $1.50 1.52, anil July $1.451.46.
as against $1.451.46 for May and
$1.41(ffil.44'i yesterday.
The Chicago corn option was un
der Omaha, May selling at $1.4914
1.52 and July at $1.44 & 1.455$.
Most of the local dealers are in
a bullish mood on account of the in
creased demand for all kinds of grain,
while others see lower prices on ac
count of what they assert will result
in improved crop conditions by rea
son of the precipitation reported to
be pretty general over the central
grain belt.
Daylight Robbers Given
Long Terms in the Pen
Joseph Turner and Frank Lake,
alleged grocery store "ice box rob
bers," were sentenced to fourteen
years and fifteen years, respectively,
in the penitentiary by Judge Scars,
sitting in criminal court. A jury re
turned a verdict of "guilty" Wednes
day, after deliberating less than
thirty minutes. .
The men were charged with having
locked Fred Hawkins, a grocer, in
his ice box and then robbed his store.
The robbery occurred on February
22.
Turner, the older of the duo, was
given the longer sentence, so Judge
Sears said, "they would not get out
of the penitentiary at the same time
and continue their life of crime."

a new found frierfS.
Proud came to Omaha yesterday
afternoon after selling his homestead

up for all that he had sacrificed in
the way of pleasure there. In a sa-
loon on lower Douglas street he met
i man who said he knew him. The
friend took Prouel about the city and
in the evening invited himself-to share
Prouel's room at (he Paxton.

RED CROSS SOCIETY
NEEDS NEW MEMBERS
Crusade for "Minimum a Mil
lion" Helpers is Launched
Throughout Nation,
OOULD DIETZ IN CHARGE
"The greatest service anyone can
do right now for Uncle Sam is to join
the Red Cross and help the member,
ship campaign,' said Gould Dieu
who has returned from a trip to Chi
cago, where he went to get pointers
from headquarters about the Chicago
campaign. The campaign will be
launched the middle of May.
Business men in Chicago are lend
ing every possible effort to make
their campaign a success, and many
of the wealthy ones are giving up
their business to work for the cause.
Mr. Sprague Warner, chairman of the
campaign and a big manufacturer,
has offered to come out here and
boost ours." said Mr. Dietr.
Confera with Hill,
Mr. Dietz had a two hours' con
ference with 11. J. Hill, director of
the bureau of membership extension,
who is making a membership drive
with the slogan, "A Minimum Mem
bership of a Million." He is optimis
tic enough to believe that number will
be raised within next three months,
"but Omaha must get to work and do
its share." said Mr. Dietz.
Mr. Dietz secured Mr. Hill to nun
age the Omaha campaign.
The society here is al scarcely any
expense, just the salary of a stenog
rapher, and so half of every member
ship fee goes to the- local fund, the
other half to the national.
Mr. Dietz has eighty sustaining
memberships already, he says.
Mr. Dietz's office is being stamped
with propositions for benefit affairs.
However, many of them wish to get
half the money, hut these arc not ac
cepted. "They must be given entirely
for charity or not at all," said Mr.
Dietz.
"F.veryone in Omaha should be
wearing a Red Cross button to show
their patriotism and loyalty," he said.
While in Chicago he saw Mrs. Jo
seph Cudahy, formerly of this city,
who has a class of 500 girls who arc
learning home tjursiug and to make
hospital supplies!
The committee will meet the first
of the week to make definite plans and
to choose a new treasurer to fill the
place of the late V. H. Bucholz.
The membership of the local so
ciety, according to statistics given out
this morning by W. G. Ure, secretary
of Omaha chapter, indicate alone the
necessity for more money:
Annual members. St SI sa,h 105
Hitb-rttlnff members, at 12 each 1.1
Sustaining members, at 110 each 40
lAta member, at i2 i
The subscribing membership fee in
cludes the Red Cross Magazine for a
year.
