UNWELCONE RAINS
 ADVANCE WHEAT
The Wheat Market Takes a Lively Upward Swing.
 Corn Firm

Chicago. July 7.-unwelcome rains over
 the harvest fields of the west gave the
 wheat market today a lively upward
 swing Despite considerable reaction.
 values held in stubborn fashion too much
 of an advance. The close was steady,
 1lk62lsc above last nights close. Corn wound up with gain of 9saiao 10 Ssc. and
 oats 1Aa5se. Provisions finished at s2lsq S2ise net decline.
 Corn was firm nearly the whole session owing to the undesirable cold. wet weather.
 Oats like wheat rose on account of fear that the July delivery would become per haps altogether an old crop problem. Unusually persistent hauidating sales by holders brought about a notable break in pork, lard and ribs. Future quotations were as follows:

methods of waging war on the

There are two forms of pois-

says Prof. Conradi. THE best
is arsenate of lead. Paris green
is also extensively used. Arse
nate of lead is purchased in two
forms, paste and powder. The
powder is recommended because
it is more easily handled, cannot
freeze and cannot dry up. For
large areas this powder is used
at the rate of one pound to SO

Busy WEEK for Submarines.

The Lusitatia, sunk Friday off
the Irish coast, was the 29th
vessel to be sunk or damaged in
the first week of May in the
German war zone about the
British Isles.
Most of the vessels were tor
pedoed by German submarines.
although in some cases it had
not been established whether the
damage was inflicted by mines or
underwater boats.
During the fortnight closing on
Saturday, German submarines
have carried on the most active
campaign of any time since the
war began.
Sixteen of the 20 vessels were
British trawlers. There were
four British and one French mer-
chantmen in the list. The others
were vessels of neutral nations.
One of the vessels sunk was
the American steamer Gulflight,
which was torpedoed off Sicily
Islands May l, with the loss of
three lives.

Buy 1t Now.

For more than a year the
habit of self-denial has been
practi ced by the American peo-
pie. Whatever may have been
wanted either in the home, the
farm or the shop, the inclination
has been to refrain from pur-
chasing. To save, not to spend,
has been the rule.
The moment has come to re-
verse the practice. The slogan
which will lead to prosperity is
Boy it Now!"
Never was it truer than at this
moment that the prosperity of
this people is in their own hands.
By their own act they can hasten
the end of the existing depres-
sion and speed the arrival OF
unexampled prosperity. That
end and that arrival are certain
to come in any event, but a
widespread determination to cast
off the fetters which doubt ana
apprehension have put upon us
in the past will hasten the day.
The war, coming fast on the
heels of new tariff legislation,
spread far and wide the seeds
of business distrust and indi-
vidual apprehension of hard
times. Thrift, a virtue in its
place, was carried to the point
ut which it became vice. Pru-
dence developed into niggardli-
ness; men ordinarily forehanded
became misers; the ancient max
i'm was amended to read: Take
care of the pennies and lock up
the dollars out of use. ;"
The result has been a financial
stringency now happily fast dis
appearing, and business de-
preston for which no reason
longer exists. 1t is time for
people again to resume the
habits of life and of business
which characterized Americans
before this depression set in.
We do not counsel extravaganza,
but we insist that niggardliness
is no longer either necessary or
helpful not even to the person
practicing it. If every reader
of this paper, for example,
would loosen to the channel of
trade $40 in the next two weeks
for things they really need, but
have, through fear of the future,
been trying to do without, they
would be better off. business
would be appreciably stimulated,
and it's revival felt by those who
contributed to it. Selected.
