Chicago. Sept 15.-Hog prices today
The supply on hand here was plainly
less than the aggregate needs OF puE-
erS.
Eleven markets received $500 hogs
Tuesday, or 5,400 less than last Tues
day. 1.400 less than year ago and
;. 500 less than two years ago. Iotai
thus far this week 1856. 900. same as cor
responding time last week 5000 more
than like period last year and 5000
less than same two days two years
ago. Total for 1915 to date 900,
or o.l15,0O0 more than same period
1914 and 1.247,000 more than CORE
spending time 1918.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings we're less plentiful
than on the corresponding day last
|eek.
Reason for the shorter shipping OF
we'll finished steers this week can De
plainly laid TO the terrific price raid
ing that was engineered in the trade
late last week. The effects OF that
was heavy losses TO shippers and feed
ers. and there appears now a move on
the part OF country shippers to hold
the runs down and give the market
chance 10 recuperate.
No Sunday Kosher Killing.
A federal bureau OF animal industry
order effective last Sunday puts ban
on Sunday kosher killing in New York
and this promises 10 shu, off packers
kosher buying in Wednesday markets,
since the stuff purchased here on
Wednesday arrives in New York on
Saturdays and Will have 10 be held
for the following Wednesday. New
York killers have sen. a delegation to
Washington to protest against the
bureau action Its ban on Sunday
killing obviously was to afford the
federal inspectors In New York plants
an opportunity to enjoy day OF rest
on Sunday. New York kosher orders
will necessarily be severely restricted
in the market tomorrow as result OF
the federal order.

To HOLD SERIES
Of INSTITUTES
Carter Arranging for Meetings
To Arouse Community
Interest
LATTER PART Of SUMMER
Weeks Work Will Be in Charge
of A. and M. Extension
Department.

Secretary Carter of the Cham
ber Of Commerce is arranging
for weeks series of institutes
in the interest of community
development during the coming
summer. 1t is his plan to hold
one of these meetings in each of
six communities during the week
of August 30th. The institute
will be an all day affair and the
program of each one is to be ar
ranged by consultation with a
committee from the community.
Mr.. Carter some weeks ago
made a special trip to the A. and
M. College to secure the cooper,
alton of the authorities there. He
was assured of their hearty pan
ticipation in these meetings.
Experts from the different de-
partments will be available in
these meetings. Several speak
ers will attend each meeting so
that information may be avail
able on any line the community
wants.
Five of these places of meeting
have been selected tentatively:
Mt. Vernon. Rural Hill. Wood
lawn, New Salem and Columbus.
The sixth place has not yet been
chosen and Seer etary Carter de-
sires to hear from any communi-
ty in the county who may want
this meeting.
The weeks work will be under
the charge OF the Extension de-
partment of the A. and M. Col
llege and Prof. Z. X. Lloyd. the
director, will have it in hand. 1t
is hoped that these. meetings will
result in community organiza-
ton at each meeting point to
carry on the good work in a sys-
tematic way.

Atlanta. Ca. June 9-Setiing
aside a petition signed by thous.
ands OF people IN the United
States including many in Georgia
asking that the death sentence OF
Leo Frank be commuted to life
Imprisonment, the Georgia Prison
Board today denied the petition.
Two of the members voted
against communication and one for
it.
After one of the hardest fought
legal battles ever staged in
Georgia, Leo M. Frank. a pencil
factory superintendent. and
prominent in Jewish society in
Atlanta. was sentenced to hang
for the murder of little Mary
Phagan, who was employed at
the factory over which Frank
presided,
The case was appealed to the
Georgia supreme court and then
in turn to the Supreme court of
the United States. In both in
stances the verdict of the lower
court was upheld. and the date
OF. execution set for June 22.
The pardoning board was next
asked for hearing and the de-
cision tgday probably marks the
last legal move in the prisoners
fight for life.
The case has become very
prominent and many notable
men have used their influence to
secure a Communication of the SEN
