Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Unsettled weather
conditions over much Of the country
made wheat traders today incline 20
the bear side. It was essentially q
waiting market, however. with moder-
ate fluctuations and light trading
in the early hours. From Argentina
there were also reports Of disturbed
weather but these were overbalanced
by . slight decline from Wednesdays
figures in Liverpool cables. The open
Ing was shade to \ lower and the
early trading kept within these limits.
Detailed reports from winter wheat
districts show conditions favorable to
the growing plants and prices dragged
later In the day. The close was steady.
at x to y cent net lower.
Corn.
Light offerings OF corn and activity
in buying lifted the market at the
opening. First sales were from 4 to
+ higher.
The market remained firm for q
time but later eased off with impress
sive sales Of the May Product. The
close was steady, at 4 lower to y
cent advance.
Trade IN oats was light and feature
less. The market showed a tendency
to sag with wheat.
Provisions.
Provisions. Influenced by some ac-
tivtty In ribs, advanced at the outset
tho the trading was not large. The
opening was unchanged to ~ cents

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Wheat - There
was an easy tone to the wheat in view
Of slackened cash demand from both
exporters and domestic consumers.
Trade being light, 1t was rather easy
for local bears to depress the market
which, at the close. was y to = cent
lower than Wednesday. News from the
Argentine continues very conflicting.
Private reports Of the estimates on the
exportabls surplus vary by 100000
bushels.
Corn-Unfavorable weather over the
corn belt again started the market
higher, but except in December, which
closed < cent up. the advance was
not held May and July both losing
3s to Y cent. Fear Of congestion IN
December was exaggerated today by
the ttghtness Of No. 8 yellow corn for
November shipment Those who were
prevented from making delivery on
these contracts were Obliged to bid up
the market for No. 8 yellow corn to
cent higher than Wednesdays cash
market, altho other grades Of corn
were lower. Kansas City and St
Louis are receiving a good run Of corn
and their cash prices have declined
steadily IN tho last few weeks.
Oats-The principal business in osts
today was changing Of December and
May holdings. In the process tho mar
ket lost from y 70 4 cent. Cash trade
was slow with sales Of $4,000 bushels
ENTHUSIASTICALLY In the hog
market and q prospect Of a lighter
run the coming week induced buying
Of provisions and prices showed . fair
advance especially in pork and ribs.
There was little pressure apparent ex-
cept from realizins sales and the de-
mand was scattered and healthy. Cash
trade. while quiet, shows indications
Of improvement.

Slightly Adulterated.

Mandre de Fouquieres. the celebrat-

a group of reporters. before his de-
parture for France. about the Ameri-
can woman.
1T is a mistake to suppose that
the question of money plays an i'm
portant part in American marriages.
said NJ. de Fouquieres. THE love
match is not rare. Indeed. it is much
more common here than with US"
Smiling. the Frenchman added:
"I believe there are few American
girls who would answer as the candid
New York debutante did when asked
II she was marrying for pure love.

made preferably when the basal
shoots start and should be made or

slow in recovering II cut too low. IL
may be necessary to cut at some other
time than the ideal time indicated. as.
for instance. when the weeds threaten
to choke out the young plants. when
the blossoms appear. or when the
plants begin to turn yellow. Except
IN the latter case the clippings are
usually left on the ground as amulch-
II the plants have turned yellow
owing to some disease. the clippings
should be raked up and removed. A
top dressing of nitrate Of soda will
sometimes invigorate the diseased
plants. The same statements govern
subsequent cuttings the first summer,
except that the growth is usually too
heavy to be left on the field.
Ordinarily no treatment is required
during the second season. except to
cut the hay when the plants are about
one-tenth in bloom. or. better. when
the new crown or basal shoots are
starting. 1t is important to get the
hay of the field as soon as possible.
In order to allow the new growth to
commence uniformly over the field.
II the windrows or cocks are allowed
to remain too long on the ground. the
alfalfa plants will be smothered out
and then bare spaces will form the
centers from which weeds will spread.
No pasturing should be allowed
during the frat or second seasons. as
the crowns have not become suf-
flciently we'll developed to Withstand
the effect Of trampling. About three
fourths OF full crop may be expected

the field any special treatment. II
the weeds begin to prove troublesome
1t is advisable to disc the alfalfa after
cutting. This process loosens up the
soil and aerates 1t, which is decidedly
advantageous to the alfalfa. The tap

discs are set nearly straight. while the
weeds are to a great extent destroyed

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard of ghosts. but none
Of US have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds Of thousands of
drug-habit cases. including opium. NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that
they have never seen a case where the
use of Coca Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the Individual as to constitute q
habit in the true sense of the word. Al
though millions of glasses OF Coca-Cola
are drunk every year. no Coca-Cola
fiends have ever made themselves VS.
ible at the doors OF the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit.
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see 1t advertised and thereafter
because It tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get It and contentedly
do without 1t when they can't get 1t.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of a real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug. II you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be SO unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit-forming" drugs.-Adv.

Made Daddy Gasp.

A certain, small Chicago laddie is
quick-witted as initiative, and so given
to considering himself as quite an
adult in comparison with his baby
brother, that he now and then talks
and acts in a manner that might by
the uncomprehending be judged i'm.
pertinent. Not long since at the fam
lily table the boy attempted to relate
a recent experience His father. who
was talking. paid no attention. and
the cijld's anger got the better OF
his politeness. Raising his voice
shrilly and speaking with an absurdly
unconscious resemblance to his IA

circumstances, he demanded.

only get part of your hero-husband

a-third per cent. of him left after the
cruel war was over. 1 don't say i

but 1 should always feel there was
something wanting, even II 1t were
merely a leg.
Another thing a prudent person
will duly ponder before marrying
into the army is the danger of our is

riwid, thoughtfully. There's always
a chance that her hero may be sent to
the Philippines End come back with a
deranged liver. l don't care how
bronzed and bearded and interesting
he may look or how many honorable
scars and medals Of honor he's got.
II his liver doesn't work the way 1t
ought, a cloud of bilious gloom will
descend upon the home and be lifted
nevermore. Still that's only a risk.
The real obstacles to my union with
the gallant captain are unavoidable.
What are they?" inquired Aunt
Jane.
"In the first place. I'd have to &C
custom myself to riding in an ambu-
lance" replied Mrs. Merriwid. But
that wouldn't be 80 bad as having to
put up with a femme de chambre
with a red mustache who chewed to-
bacco and drank whisky and was or
iginally engaged for plain. manly
butchery. That would certainly jar
me-" concluded Mrs. Merriwid.

(By J. M. WESTGATE)
Throughout the western half OF the
United States the soil appears to be
naturally supplied with the proper
bacteria for the formation of the root
tubercles. In the eastern part Of the
country. however. where the soil con-
ditions are less favorable to the
growth of these bacteria. 1t 10 nearly
always necessary to supply them II
the time of seeding. This inoculation
may be supplied either by scattering
soil from successful alfalfa field or
In the form of artificial cultures.
Although possessed of some disad-
vantages, incubation by means OF soil
from a successful alfalfa field will
nearly always produce the desired
results. It is essential that care be
taken to avoid the introduction Of
seeds of noxious weeds or harmful
plant diseases. The bulkiness Of the
300 to 800 pounds of soil necessary
for an acre makes 1t advisable to Be-
cure the soil from a field as near by
as possible.
1t has been found that soil from
around the roots of the sweet clover
is quite as enective as alfaiIa BOIL. III
most sections of the country this plant
may be found growing wild in scat
tered clumps. In the south. where
