HIGHEST WAR PRICES REACHED IN WHEAT
Rumors Canadian Import Duties Would be Removed
 Causes 2 5-Sc Advance

Chicago. August S.--lIighest war prices came today as a result uf rumors that Canadian imported duties would be re- moved Wheat closed strong at the top. an advance of 2ss42sse. Other gains com pared with last night we're; Corn. 2ss@ 2zsc. oats a@eisc and provisions. 2iad6oc.
 Both December and May wheat went respectively to sl and sl.os5s. The previous extreme was $1 07ie for May. When trad ing ended today the entire list of future deliveries or wheat, barring only Sep tember, stood at Sl a bushe or above. Winnipeg sent the news that the Canad- ian government either would take off the duties direct or would allow wheat from the United States to enter Canada in bond to be made into flour for export to England allied countries. It was explained that the Canadian crop was short.
 Crop damage from continued dry wealth. CT made offerings of corn scarce and led to active short buying. Oats climbed chiefly in response to notice that ex- ports of oats from Canada had been pro hibited, and that single army purchase in Canada amounted to 750,000.
 Hog prices at the highest point since 1910 brought about skyroclketing in pro- visions.

By EDWIN MEGARGEE

This seems to be one of the most an- cient breeds which has survived the competition with new kinds brought cut by generations or poultrymen. In all probability it originated in Spain, whence it's name. but of it's early his- tcry but little is definitely known. In common with many other breeds II seems to have been taken to the Meth erlands and Great Britain, and in the hs nds of the Dutch and English breed- CTS it was improved and refined, and finally bred to definite standard. When introduced into America the breed immediately became popular. but probably for the reasons noted above. it is not widely bred here at present.
 This breed belongs to the Mediter- ranean class and possesses that spright- llness and grace of carriage which dis tin nguishes all of the breeds in this group In size 1t is rather large. cocks scaling eight pounds, cockerels six ana crc-half. hens six and one half, pull lets fi~e and one-half

ONE OF THE OLDEST PURE-BRED FOWLS

dark slate undercoor Of course. for e;gn color of any kind is not permis- s,bie The beak is black eyes dark brown, shanks and feet black or leaden blue
 In the head points we find the unique features of the breed. The five pointed, single comb is of medium size, upright in the male and dropping to one side
 in the female. The wattles are long, thin and smooth.
 Pure white faces and earlobes, smooth ard free from wrinkles and folds, are most desired. The lobes are wonder f,.Ily developed, extending well back on the neck, and meeting in front, thus farming the bib. which is clearly shown in the drawing. Since this point is so characteristic of the breed and so highly regarded, 1t is strongly empha- sized by all breeders, and carries great weight in the showroom. The breed Is not generally considered hardy, and some poultrymen consider the chicks difficult to raise. But in spite of these defects the Black Span ish fowl Is so odd that it Is worthy of attention.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-08-09

In former years the white-faced black Spanish fowl was much valued in America by producers of market eggs, but it has been largely supplant- ed by other kinds and today is seldom
 found in any numbers save in the hands of fanciers. It seems to have been the victim of excessive breeding for strictly fancy points to the exclusion of economic qualities. This has result ed in its passing into the hands of
 lovers of exhibition stock and has caused commercial poultrymen to di op it.
 Such a condition of affairs is un- fortunate. as these birds possessed
 much merit as prolific layers of large, ,yL.te eggs. Had development been
 made along this line the breed would
 have appealed to the great mass of poultry keepers, who value a regular supply of eggs more than smooth, white
 f. ces on their fowls. Fanciers of cer-
 tain breeds which enjoy wide popu-
 larity today may well take to heart
 the lesson supplied' by the old Span fish.

The Movies in Central America

That no people or country are i'm. mune from the deadly germ of the movies" Is shown by the virulence with which the fever has seized upon the natives of Central America whc walk long distances and spend their last real for the privilege of yelling themselves hoarse over the picture says Lippincott's Magazine.
 Whatever happens on the film is as real as life itself to the audiences made up of Spaniards, Indians and Carlos who at exciting moments rise in their seats, shouting admonitions to the actors. yelling encouragement to the noble heroes, and hooting the villains until the theatre is like a gathering of excited Bedlamites.
 At La Ceiba, a port town on the east coast of Spanish Honduras. an enterprising priest opened a moving picture show, giving the Passion Play on the opening night.
 During the last supper 1t was no fault of the audiences that the apos- ties did not find out what kind of an hombre Judas was, as they were warm ed often enough from the front" and told to watch out" While the cruel fixion scene was enacted, several fat Senoras tainted and had to be car rfed out, but when Christ rose from the dead and came out triumphant from the tomb, they cheered him to the echo. all but yelling their heads of with shouts of viva e1 cristo! viva el cristo!"
 The western film. however, Is the most liked and surest of a crowded house. The natives have come to think that the entire population of the United States Is made up chiefly oi cowboys. Indians and soldiers, whc spend their time chasing one another Their sympathies are always with the cowboy. and he Is notified in plent, of time when the willy redman is wait ing for him in ambush.
 The spectators writhe in their seats and wiring their hands when the In dians scale the stockade and the am intuition Is exhausted save the single cartridge which the colonel reserves for his beautiful daughter.
 "Hijo de Maria! (Son of MaryD Don't lose. old man!' they plead, with the tears all but streaming down their faces, and the "bravosr' and shrieks which split the air when a cloud of dust tells them the cowboys are rid Ing to the rescue would stampede a band of Ogallah Sioux.

A King Her Chauffeur leva Correspondent from the New York

Geneva correspondent from the Ne" 1ork
 Times.
 The King of the Belgians, one of the most democratic of European monarchs who has been spending the last three weeks In Switzerland, is here, and tells the following story:
 At Territet the King and Queen were motoring. His majesty was driving and there were no attendants. Tine Queen went into shop to make some pur- chases.
 The King was standing by the car read ing a newspaper when an American woman came out of the shop, jumped into the car, which she mistook for public conveyance and bade the monarch to drive her quickly to her hotel. Certainly, madame" said the King, and deposited the woman at the hotel.
 Accounts vary as to whether the King accepted or did not accept any fare.
 In the meanwhile the Queen had come out of the store and was surprised to find that her husband and the car was absent. However. they speedily returned Land their majesties laughed over the story together.

Coffee Market

New York. August S.-No important change was reported in the coffee situa- ton here today. Local merchants say nothing definite has developed with refer ence to renewed shipments from Brazil. It was reported there were sales of Rio Is at a shade under 91sc late yesterday, ub tholders were firm at that figure today and Santos As were unchanged at 14c. Private sales were reported on December contracts at 8.20c- a reaction of about 4 points from the high level of the week. but there was business later at 8.25c, and these transactions were supposed to re- fleet the evening up of old trades rather than an attempt to forecast future values. An arrival of 2S.267 bags was reported at New York today Rio and Santos receipts on Friday were 3s.000 bags, and clearances were reported for this country of 20O0 bags from Rio oh August and of 160W bags from Victoria on August by the same steamer.

WEEKLY COTTON
 GOODS REVIEW

New York. August S-Cotton goods mar kets as whole have been quiet and job bers as a rule have ceased buying for forward delivery because of financial con- ditions. There have been requests in the market for the cancellation of orders for reliveries at later dates. southern buy CTS appearing particularly timid in con sequence of the outlook for the mer- chandisng of the cotton crop.
 Business has amounted to about 5000. .000 yards on various weights of cotton goocs to be used as substitutes for burlaps. which have risen rapidly. On some of these goods, principally L95 yard sheet
 ngs. advances of Ss cents a yard are noted Prints cloths have sold moderately at declines. The inability to get dye stuffs for late delivery mas checked the taking of forward orders on prints and many colored lines. Printers are going on short time and several mills have curtailed their output still further. Many southern mills are closed for two weeks vacation. It Is expected the demand for cotton goods will grow better later on for export and for domestic use and some selling agents believe a shortage of stocks will be developed which will life prices without regard to the movement In cot ton. For the moment there Is con- siderable apprehension lest lower cloth prices may come and that is also a de- terrent affecting buyers movements Prices are as follows:

WOMEN MAY GAIN HEALTH AND PROFIT
 FROM BACKYARD POULTRY KEEPING
Hosts of Busy Housewives Might We'll Engage in This Interesting
 Work

In every city, town and village there are untold numbers of idle back yards which could be used to advantage in supporting a profitable flock of laying hens. By adopting simple. modern methods the housewife can easily care for small number of birds. securing from them a certain amount of pin money and improving her health through outdoor exercise.
 Doctor Sanborn presents con vincing argument below and gives much valuable practical advice con cerning methods of management of the tirGs.
