CROP REPORTS
JUMP WHEAT UP
DAMAGE TO CROP CAUSES PRICES
TO RISE 8 CENTS A BUSHEL
IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Wheat prices
shot upward eight cents bushel at
the opening of the market today, The
December option touched $145 on first
trading as against 1877 at yesterdays
finish.
Sensational crop damage confirmed
by the government report was the
cause of the extraordinary advance.
So much excitement ruled in the
pit that transactions in many cases
were cents apart at the same in
slant The initial range on December
varied from LAP to Las.
Jumps in the value of other options
than December, although radical,
were not quite so severe. Taken as a
whole the market opened to cents
higher and when relative steadiness
was established showed "a to "a
cents gains as compared with yester-
days close.
In later dealings the May delivery
rose to the phenomenal price Of $1.50
a bushel an extreme ascent of IA
over yesterdays fiqai figures, and
46 "a up as compared with the price
at the corresponding time year ago.

NAMED.

WASHINGTON, Aug. o. Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department and
Associate justice Brandeis of the sju-
preme Court, have been selected as
two of the three American members
Of the joint commission which will
undertake settlement of Mexican bord-
er difficulties. The name of the third
member will be made public later.
Formal announcement that the
United States and Mexican govern
mentJ had reached an agreement for
discussion Of differences by joint
commission was made by Acting Sec
retary Polk.
The Mexican members already have
been designated,
Mr.. A1redondo called at the State
Department and gave further assur-
ances of the willingness of the de
facto government to have the scope of
the commissions discussions as broad
as the United States desired. General
Carranza prefers that withdrawal Of
American troops from Mexico and
steps to prevent border troubles be
taken up first, but Mr. Arredondo said
he would not object to having other
questions considered.
The meetings probably will be held
AT some New Jersey resort.

To REVISE JURY
LIST TR|-EN|ALLY.
JUDGE j. p. HIGHSMITH PASSES
AN ORDER FOR REVISION
LESS FREQUENTLY.

Judge J. p. EHghsmith, Of the Bruins
wick Circuit, yesterday passed an or
der prohibiting the revision Of jury
lists in Glynn county more often than
once every three years.
The jury lists OF Glynn county were
formerly revised once every year. fil
making the change Il was stated that
in a city the size OF Brunswick theI
revision az often as every year was
Unnecessary and consequently the
work spent in revising the jury lists
was wasted.
IN Judge Highsmith'J order it was
provided that the revision of the jury
lists in other counties composing the
Brunswick Circuit should be made ev-
cry second year. In these counties the
revision occurred formerly once
year the same as II did in Glynn
county.

VICTIMS ARE
PRONE TO PNEUMONIA

The United States Public Health
Service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. It
declares that alcohol is the hand
maiden of the disease which pro-
duces ten per cent. of the deaths in
the United States. This is no eXag-
geration. We have known for a.
long time that indulgence in alco-
holic liquors lowers the individual
vitality, and that the man who
drinks is peculiarly susceptible to
pneumonia. The United States Pub
lie Health Service is a conservative
body. IL does not engage in alarm
list propaganda. In following out
the line of its official duties it has
brought forcefully to the general
public fact which will bear end
less repetition. The liberal and con-
tinuous user of alcoholic drinks will
do well to heed this warning, par
ticularly at this season of the year
when the gruesome death toll from
pneumonia is being doubled.

GIRLS MOTHER SHOULD
WATCH HER YOUNG MAN

Give your daughters young man
more than the once over" is the
sage if slangy admonition of Rev. :.
w. Grinton. of New York City, after
commenting on the case of Marion
Lambert. This is a day of cosmo-
politans and social readjustments.
The old community customs are up
set by new social mechanism. Young
women meet strange young men at
every tea dansant, every party,
through innumerable school friends
and social functions, and very often
in street-corner fiirtations.
Social enthusiasms run with
greater velocity than ever before.
The mice" young girls range of ac-
quaintances is wider than in pre-
vious world history. And there is
no society Dun or Bradstreet as yet
for fearsome mothers who would
like to know the young men who
take daughter automobiling, dane
Ing, skating, walking. golfng and to
the theater or motion picture shows.
Small wonder that more social
tragedies like the Orpet-Lambert af-
fair are not recorded in the public
prints.-[Detroit Free Press.
