CHICAGO. Sept. 10.-Off1cial crop

grain market today. Liverpool, appar-
emily regarded the wheat figures as
slightly bullish and foreign cables
were the principal factor at the open

and September wheat held firm up
to noon when prices were " above
the opening. Slight declines were
noted, however, in the December and
May deliveries.
Corn, after taking brace at the
opening, hit the down grade and by
noon September was 717s, * below

ed in the December and May delivery.
The steady opening in the oats mar
ket was the surprise of the day to the
trade. With government figures In

would be a record-breaker, all deliv-
cries held steady, but at noon declines
ranging from fve-eighths of cent to

Many 0pelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.
There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness.
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of fltering the
blood and that is the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed
by over one hundred thousand
people, and by your neighbors in
Opelousas.
Mrs. 7. Compton Chachere.
Landry ST., Opelousas, La,
says: "A member of my family
received splendid results from
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procuoed from Shute's Drug
Store. He was troubled for
some time by irregular passages
of the kidney secretion accom-
paniediby pain in his book. These
troubles, / believe, were brought
on by hard work and heavy lift

United States, 1923; in the Unit.
ed Kingdom, $1.02; excluding
supplementary allowances neg
ligibly affecting the average, il
was in Prussia-Hesse 81 cents,
and in Austria 80 cents. The
lowest paid railway imployee in
the United States, the ordinary
trackman, receives a greater
compensation than many of the
railway employees of France,
those Of higher grades and with
responsible duties. The COM
pensation of railway employees is
from two to three times as high
in the United States as in Italy.
A recent report Of the English
Board Of Trade on railway wages
shows that the average weekly
pay of euginemen in the United
Kingdom in 1907 was SILLY; of
fremen, $6.67. In the same year
enginemen on American railways
received an averase weekly COM
pensation of $25. so, counting six
days to the week, and firemen

clear that in 1912 enginemen and
fremen in the United States are
compensate at rates of pay for
specific runs that are two, three
and four times as high as the cor
responding rates on representa-
tive English railways. The ann
ual compensation Of enginemen in
the United States, as reported by
two representative railway COM
panies, now range from 81, 100
in switching service to over

and of fremen from $500 in
switching service to over 81, TOO
in passenger service.
For Continental Europe official
returns in requisite detail are not
available for a late year than 1908.
The salaries and allowances Of
the typical engineman in German
amounted for that year to $649. 88
in Austria to $870.80 of a fire.
man in Germany to $424. SO, in
Austria to $532.03. The annual
compensation of engineman on
two of the principal railways of
France ranged in 1908 from
$5O5. 66 to $906. 81, and of fire
men from 1898. "a to $685. SO. In
Italy enginemen received in 1908,
salary and allowances included,
from 1851. 10 to $812. 20 a year;
fremen, from $780, 80 to S475. 05
a year. In these Continental
countries the maximum compen-
sation is received only after
many years Of service.
The average annual compensa-
ton of enginemen in the United
States in 1907, on an estimated
basis of 300 days service, was
81, 1896; of fremen, S792. In this
country the rate of compensation
to these employees does not de-
pend on the length of service:
In Belgium enginemen received
in 1907 from S23.1O to $37. 60 a
month; fremen, from$17.37 to
1923. is a month; conductors and
station employees, from 40 cents
to 90 cents a day. In the United
States in the same year 1907, en-

month: fremen, s63. so a month;
conductors, $500 a day; station
employees, from SLIT to $2.05 q

SARD SCHEME.
Board of Engineers Does Not
Favor the Damming of the
COurtablean.

An unfavorable report ofl the
Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors,. concerning the
damming of the Bayou Courta-
bleau SO as to make the Teche
navigable, has been made.
Col. Beach, chief of the Blu
reau, made a personal inyestiga-
ton of the matter, and evidently
concluded that the entire affair
was a scheme of the Iberia peo-
pie to make the Teche navigable
at the expense of the people of
the Courtableau; and that the
carrying out of the project would
injure the contemplated irriga-
ton in this section.
The report of the Board fol-
lows:
THE Board is not convinced
that t h e commercial benefits
would be commensurate with the
cost Of the work proposed, and
moreover it believes this to be a
case where the improvement con-
templated would materially affect
drainage, overflow, etc, in which
the locality is greatly interested,
and that the United States would
not be justified in entering upon
the work without liberal local
cooperation.
Tt appears from a supplement
tary report of the District Officer
that certain plans involving
drainage work which may be in
harmony with the improvement
for navigation and constitute q
measure of cooperation are UNI
contemplation by local au-
but have not yet been
worked out and probably will not
be for some time on account Of
the recent floods, etc.
This being the case, the
Board is not prepared to recon-
m e n d Improvement by the
United States at this time or the
of an indefinite project
for future work, and therefore it
is requested that the District
Officer notify interested parties
Of the present status of the case
as outlined above and inform
them that an opportunity will be

views on the subject within such
