CHICAGO GRAIN CHICAGO, Sept. 7 firmed in all pits on the Board of Trade yesterday after the market had shown some early hesitancy. Gains ran to a little more than 2 cents in soybeans, but mostly were limited to fractions. The upward movement followed a slight sell-off in the first hour, during which period the recently strong selling squall soon ended, and after that offerings were not too easy to find. Wheat closed higher, corn higher, oats higher, rye (new style) to 1 cent higher, soybeans higher and lard 3 to 13 cents a hundred pounds higher.

BALTIMORE POULTRY Dull. Receipts, moderate. Trading slow, some per pound in Baltimore; Fryers, lb. and up, 32-34c. Hens: Heavy type, 30-32c; light type, 21- SPRING construction of five tennis courts on the oampus of St.

Francis Preparatory school, near town, was started this week. M. R. Lane and Sons, tennis court engineers from Ardmore. are in charge.

The courts will be of Lanite all-weather asphalt composition and will cover an area of 244 by 120 feet. The site is to the rear of the Boxwood gardens overlooking the athletic field. This type of court consists of a base of crushed stone rolled to a depth of four inches, on top of which is spread a filler of smaller stone. The entire area is then bound with asphalt. The top surface comprises three-fourths of an inch of a composition, or special cold-mix asphalt material.

The courts will be surrounded with a curbing of brick set in concrete. A 10-foot Bethani- zed link fence will enclose the court area. At the west end of the courts grandstands will be built from the lumber of oak trees that are being felled. The work is expected to be completed within a month or six weeks and will eliminate the handicap that has hampered the activities of the Prep tennis team because of its lack of facilities for practice and home contests. The 188-year-old building known for many years at the Five Mile House, situated on the Lincoln highway near the intersection of the Spring Grove road, has been nearly razed.

All that remains of the historic building is a few feet of wall. The building was owned by L. H. Alwine, local brick and hosiery manufacturer. The house had stone walls about 18 inches thick.
