CHICAGO, April 27.—The wheat mar
ket opened firm today at prices frac
tionally higher than yesterday's close.
Commission houses bought freely at th-
Start, which with the easier tone in the
Northwest started local traders to seil
ing and the prices declined ra{oldly. May
opened at 1.14% and July at 1,16%.
« Corn opened firm at prlcllClll¥ un
thanged prices. May started at 76% and
July at 77%.
The oats market was slightly weak
and lower. Better weather conditions
had a depressing effect.
& l;rovislons were erratic and trade was
ght.
Wheat closed around the bottom prices
on heavy sellinflg late by those who
bought early, reflecting an unconfirmed
message from New York of an unsat
isfactory answer from Germany to the
U'nited States over the submarine ~nes
tion. The net losses for the day were
5 @%, and this, too, in the face of the
taking of 1,000 000 bushels Durum wheat
by the Greek Government. Corn closed
161% lower and oats were %@ Y%c low.
er ash sales here were: Whaet 15,000
bushels, corn 145,000 bushels and oats
95,000 bushels.
Hog products were mainly Nghcr, the
only exception being July pork, which
was off be.

John Ingliis sent the following from
Wellington, Kans.: ‘“‘Chickasha to An

the same as previously reported. The!
average is better north.from Geary than

ure for the present, but no surface wa

are large both of corn and wieat, It
will require frequent showers for wheat
to maintain its present condition.”

A report issued by the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe Railway Company
covering the past week says: “‘“Tem
peratures in Kansas, Oklahoma and Col
orado were slightly below normal. Pre
cipitation was from 1 to 1% ilnches, Con
ditlons were favorable for growing

George M. LeCount, in a letter to]
Finley Barrell Company, says that this |
is the latest Spring he has ever seen in |
South Dakota. Many farmers have notl
yqt begun to seed; only a small per|
cent of the plowing has been done, and |
little of the land that has been plowed |
is seeded. In an averaige spring wheat |
and oats generally should be up by this, {
He says that much wheat will be!
stubbed. - Many farmers are beginning |
to realize that they can not get all thelrt
land seeded in time. The acreage will
be greatly reduced. |

Is 26 Years Not Long Enough for One
Man to Hold a Lucrative County Office?
YT T A CARD FROM
28 | Henry M.Wood
R R H:gi" it 3
‘ e 3 As is generally known, I have offered for
T B | the office of Tax Receiver of Fulton County,
L e A o] and have associated with me Paul 8. Pause
- T -~ and W. Tom Winn.
e v We have endeavored to conduct this cam-
B, ‘4 & | paignona high plane, free from any bitter-
E | ness or criticism whatsoever.
T | But as the present incumbent has appeared
W | recently in the daily press and based his claim
for re-election on his proficiency, I think it
A but proper for me to state that in case lam
™ elected you will be equally well served as
7 in the past. My uniform courtesy and ability
is a antee as to the manner in which the office will be conducted.
Tfia;resent incumbent has held this office for the past 26 years, and,
in fact, Mr. W. H. Abbott, who opposed him two years ago, used the argu
ment that 24 years ought to satisfy Mr. Armistead. Mr. Abbott himself has
held a clerkship in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court for the past
12 or 16 years. The following appeared on'the campaign literature of Mr.
Abbott two years ago: ,
‘“‘MR. T. M. ARMISTEAD, PRESENT ENCUMBENT, HAS
HELD OFFICE FOR 24 YEARS —SHOULD HE NOT BE SAT
ISFIED?”
Strange to say, Mr. Abbott is now on the ticket of Mr. Armistead and
beggingngia friends to again elect Mr. Armistead, thus giving him 30 years
in office. Two years ago he thought 24 years was enough for Mr. Armi
stead, and now he wants to make it 30 mrs. .
During the past several years Mr. istead has constantly had two
of his sons in office with him, thereby preventing other worthy young men
from getting jobs which rightfully belong to them. For some reason the
names of Mr. Armistead’s sons have not appeared on his campaign cards.
We most respectfully submit, in all fairness and sincerity, that some one
else should have a chance at these public offices, and that no one man and
his family should sit astride these ogportunities for the promotion which
should be equally distributed among the people.
I respectfully ask your support, and promise if elected that you will not
suffer for lack of efficiency and courtesy.
Yours Very Truly, :
HENRY M. WOOD

W. J. (BILL) STODDARD.
Why am I offering for County Commissioner? I’ll tell
you! It's
(1) For the last ten years I have been boosting for GOOD
ROADS—and, as a County Commissioner, I would be in a
position to do a great deal for the advancement of GOOD
ROADS for Fulton County.
(2) I want the youngsters of Fulton County to have the
very finest opportunities for a thorough education—and, as
a County Commissioner, I would be able to help promote
better schools and a University High School.
(3) Many streets of Atlanta and suburbs and the four main
highways leading into Atlanta need fixing, and need it ur
gently. As a County Commissioner, I could and would in
sist that théy be FIXED! |
(4) While it is true that eonviets have wronged, it is also
wrong to treat them in an inhumane manner. Two wrongs
do not make one right! Asa County Commissioner T would
see to it that the conviets are humanely treated, properly
housed and substantially fed! I believe that JUSTICE
should be tempered with MERCY !
(56) I was born and reared in Fulton County—and I want to
do everything in my power that’s going to help make this
fine county even better and greater than ever before! You’ll
sure get ACTION—if you will vote for
