DROUGHT MAY BOOST PRICES.
Grain Shortage Southwest Likely to
Cause Advance in Meats.

The high cost Of living probably has
received a boost by reason of the pro-
longed drought in the west, according to
officials Of the Department of Agriculture
and the weather bureau, and the people
of the entire country will in all prob
ability feel the effects Of the drought
during the coming winter and the fol-
lowing year or more. A shortage OF
probably 100000 600 bushels in the corn
crop Of the country Is indicated at the
present time. while other grains. as well
as forage crops, have suffered to an un-
paralleled extent.
The tremendous decrease in the PROB
able corn crop. as we'll as loss Of forage
crops, wheat. hay, ETC.. has resulted In
forcing thousands of head of cattle on
the markets at Omaha, Kansas City and
Chicago. The cattle have been shipped
in poor condition. and will have to re-
main for some months in the feed yards
before they will be in proper condition.
Scarcity Of feed and consequent high
prices. it is pointed out, will undoubtedly
result in raising the price Of these cattle
when they are put in the form OF dressed
beef, pork or mutton: while the great
reduction in the number Of cattle on the
farms is confidently expected to bring
greatly advanced prices for stockers and
feeders for the next year or more.
All of these factors, 1t Is stated, can
hardly fail to bring about much higher
prices for meats, and record attitudes
are expected the comeng winter for all
kinds Of dressed meats. Even the COM
mon cornmeal, 1t is stated, may go into
the class of luxurieS, as a reduction In
the corn crop Of such magnitude as that
indicated at present can not fail to be
reflected in prices of the grain and it's
products.

MAKES PLEA TO MINISTERS.
Evangelist Sturgeon Points to Stran.
ger Within Their Gates.

The ministers of the various churches
should pay more attention to the stranger
within their gates perchance he may be
the meek and lowly Nazarene, declared
Evangelist Menta Sturgeon Of New York,
in a sermon before the Washington Tenn
pie Congregation in New Masonic Tenn
pie yesterday afternoon on 1.-THE Pres
ence of the Lord He urged the need
Of this attention on account of the fact
that many believe today that Christ is
now upon earth for the second time and
man cannot distinguish him.
More Of the spirit Of the noted Baptist
Missionary, Judson, Is needed. Mr.. Stur-
icon declared, as he recounted how Jud-
son after sermon attempted to meet
particularly lowly auditor. and when
ne had failed declared to friend: Il
am chagrined. That may have been
Jesus Of Nazareth
Mr.. Sturgeon also made particular
Plea for men and women everywhere to
take up Bible study, declaring that they
will thereafter be more splendidly able
10 distinguish their Risen Lord when He
may appear to them.

PREDICT MODERATE WEATHER.
Southwest to Share in Showers and
Goodness. Saws Bureau.

Moderate temperatures for the greater
part Of the week are forecasted for prac-
tically the entire country in the weekly
prediction Of the weather bureau, which
says that the mercury will remain at or
below the seasonal average over about all
the United States for the next few days,
at least.
The weather bureau also says the long
drought that has burned crops and herb
age and dried up wells and streams
throughout Kansas Missouri, Oklahoma
and adjacent regions for weeks past is
broken, and that rain and cooler weather
are sdue in that section. AS the rains be-
gan falling last Saturday, and the tenn
perature fell to a marked extent when the
long delayed rains came, the forecast
probably will hold true
Precipitation over the entire country,
according to the forecast, will be OF
local character; that is. no general, coun-
try-w1de storms are to be looked for
But the forecaster expects the Local
rains to be general so what's the diner-
ence?
A disturbance that is expected to de-
velop today over the Rocky mountains
will move eastward, though the disturb
ance Is not expected to be Of such a ma
ture as to cause really stormy weather
anywhere along It's path.
Moderate temperatures. with frequent
local thunderstorms and showers, will
make up the weather program for this
part Of the country during the week.
