GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, November 2S.-Wheat
showed considerable heaviness today,
Influenced by an official report that the
Kansas crop was the largest on record.
Bearish advices were also received from
Argentina. the weather there having
turned fine and warm, exactly as de-
sired for the harvest. In addition,
peace talk from various quarters SEEM
ed to handicap the bulls. After open
ing 4 to 70 lower the market suffered
a slight further decline.
Hedging sales weakened corn. Pre-
dictions that husking in Illinois would
be finished before Thanksgiving count
ed against any rally. The opening,
which ranged from u to 1sah lower,
was followed BY. a continued sag.
Seaboard demand helped to steady
oats. The market nevertheless dis
played sympathy with the downward
course Of other cereals.
The late reaction of wheat :hecke
the decline in corn. Closing prices
were steady at a net loss of 4 to
1laas.
Subsequently fear of black rust in
Argentine and assertions, that the
weather there had again become ad-
verse led to a decided upturn in
wheat. The close was strong; 7s al. to
ha net higher.

Vuique Method Of Making Cidar.

An experiment. considerable in
terest is being conduc ed by tie
Bureau of Chemistry on the concen-
tration Of fruit juices by freezing.
A great deal OF attentions being
devoted to the concent ration OF apple
cider. Last fall represent alive
equipped with apparatus spent sever
al months in the orchards OF Hood
River, Oregon, where he prepared a
considerable amount OF sweet cldar
which was frozen in ice cans and
turned out as blocks of ice, the cou-
centrated cidar formiug uDfrozen in
the center Of the block. The ice was
then finely ground and centritugali.
zed To extractthe syrup from the Ice.
The process reduces the weight oil
the product to one-fourth its original
weight, thus greatly reducing tue
cost OF transportation.
Fermentation occurs nut very lit
tie, due TO tie process OF concen-
tration, and the juice can be shipren
J ng distances Without preventative
and without danger Of the container
bursting
| A pleasing feature OF the expert
nlent II that the original apple flavor
is retained through the concentration
and during the freezing In fact the
concentrated product is as stable as
the apples themselves. II kept at a
low temperature the fruit juice will
retain Its original flavor for prolonV-
ed periods.

A Fair Trial Will Prove Its Worth.

The Dunn road law may need some
amendments to make it an ideal law.
1t would be strange, indeed, if such
an elaborate, far-reaching law
should be made absolutely perfect in
the first moulding, but the principles
of the law are right, and it is sur
prising to find in some of the rural
communities, particularly in the
south part of the state, some of the
farmers clubs passing resolutions
condemning the law on the ground of
increased taxation. AS matter of
fact, there are but a few of the
larger counties of the state but what
will receive in return more money
from the state than they pay in un-
der the tax levied by the Dunn law.
Before condemning this law time
should be given for a fair trial.

The Good Old Days in Maine.

Under the caption 'Aroostook
War; the Franklin (Maine) Journal
prints the following, which is Of
local interest from the fact that the
Slower Rines mentioned in the arti-
Gle was the grandfather of Slower
Rines of Princeton.
1.-The following triplet, taken from
the legislative record of 1889, shows
how some of the more numerous leg
islators felt about the Aroostook
war which was then under consider
alton. 1t may be recalled that some
COWS and oxen and men from her ma
jesty's dominion had trespassed
within the boundaries of Maine.
''Hastings Strickland was then sher-
if of Penobscot county; Rufus Nc
Intyre was the states land agent.
The legislature authorized the sher-
if and the land agent to raise a
posse of two hundred and fifty men
and go up there and clean out the
invaders. George S. Sewall, repre-
sentative from Old Town, saw the
funny side of it and during the de-
bate in the legislature submitted
the facetious triplet first men,
toned. It read thus:
! g Run, Strickland, run,
j.. Fire, Slower, fire,
| We're the last words OF Mcintyre. ,
"Sheritf Strickland had delegated
his authority to Capt. Slower Rines,
and by relays of horses had reached
Augusta in double-quick time. AS
a result of that trip and the sheriff S
hot-air story an order was issued the
following day for detachment of
10, 343 officers and men from the va
rious militia organizations in the
state. Before any real fighting was
done Daniel Webster and Lord Ash
burton got together and patched up
the whole controversy. But his set
Element didn't exactly satisfy the
people Of Maine, and the following
from newspaper published in Bos-
ton in 1912 shows how the other
state poked fun at our over-sensitive
state authorities:
It" Resolved, That Mr.. Secretary
Webster is no great thing as sta tes-
man, and that during his contin-
uance in Office there is no hope of a
war advantageous to Maine and other
border states
Zone historian of good repute says
there were many humorous incidents
when the order for the draft was is
sued. Some of the drafted men
were suddenly taken i'll and a ply
stefan summoned, while others found
it necessary to make hasty visits to
friends in other states.
