Chicago, July 13.-Three things up
permost in the minds Of the wheat
trade are the size Of movement, the
extent of foreign buying and the
amount Of loss to the spring wheat
crop that will result from black rust
and blight. 1t is said by the best post
ed men in the cash trade in Chicago
that more than fifty million bushels
Of winter wheat have already been
sold for export. Some put it 10000. 900
bushels and say 25 per cent will go
out by the gulf. New Orleans and
Galveston are doing a good business
and received 2,266,0 bushels between
them last week. It is dry and hot. as
is usually the case in the corn belt at
this season. The crop in the south
west and south and in parts Of the
southern end Of the corn belt is reach
ing the critical stage where it can be
permanently injured by drouth and
high temperatures. A few damage re-
ports are coming in.

Mrs. Anderson's sister. and on the re-
turn trip by a sister of Rev. Mr.. An

The party were travelling at a very
hight rate Of speed and struck into

RHODES men FROM

Five Firsts In Jurisprudence
Hell , Record Of 1918

Oxford. England. = The annual re-
port Of the Rhodes trust shows that
the American scholars during 1913 had
better scholarship record than in any
year since the system was started
The whole number Of Rhodes schOl-
ars in residence during the year was
ITS. Altogether the Rhodes system
now represents about an eighteenth
part of the whole student body
Only three Rhodes scholars are work
ing merely for pass degree. Most
Of them are out Of honors. and on the
whole they seem to be standing the
test of Oxford standards well except
in classics. Only one first was OBJ
tanned in classics, and this was by an
American from the Pacific coast. In
the other departments the scholars
held their own. In jurisprudence they
gained five firsts out of seven awarded.
The question Of what becomes of
the Rhodes scholars after their many
years Of study is answered in the re
port:
More than one-fourth of the 431
Rhodes men who have been graduated
from Oxford since the system was
started have kept on with education
as their life work. About 100 have
turned to law, nearly fifty have gone
into the civil service of the British EN-:

twenty-five have become physicians

The three greatest losses were in the

Nicotine was not found in the smoke

contrary to prevalent belief that they
won't want to go, they are enthusiastic
about it.
"The department feels Inundated to
see eggs, meats and all the farm pro-
ducts coming in from the Argentine
