TRANSFORMATION
 CONTROLS MARKET
c. E. SMITH GRAIN COMPANY SAYS THAT INABILITY OF RAIL ROADS TO MOVE WHEAT IS
 MAKING GRAIN SHORTAGE.

The weekly letter issued by the c. E. Smith Grain Company to the trade, while always of interest, is more so than usual this week for it sums up and shows why the fluctuation of the past week occurred The letter is as follows:
 The grain trade is involved in a transportation break down.
 Enormous quantities of wheat are bought for export, and a shortage of ships (tonnage) to remove it, hence thousands of cars are loaded with this wheat and held at ports or en route to such port terminals, with prospects for unloading and release remote on account of shortage of vessels.
 Embargos are out against nearly every port by railroad on account of this condition.
 Western roads cars are tied up n the East Embargos against equip ment leaving their rails in their effort to relieve their domestic situation or at lease to prevent further loss cf cars.
 Minneapolis is blocked with loaded wheat cars which mills refuse to buy as eastern movement is denied them, and the wheat trade is in the midst of this maelstrom and measurably drift ing.
 A we'll known and well posted grain man said this week that if transporta- tion were provided unlimited quanti- ties might have been sold for Euro pean account.
 The United States visible supply de- creased 2,480,000 bushels to 59, 9,186,00 against 62,026,O00 the previous week. and 46,024,000 last year.
 B. w Snow reports farm reserves at 30 per cent Nebraska 20 per cent Kansas, and eight per cent Oklahoma.
 Broomhall says Argentine produced 75 ,0O0, GOO bushels as against 172,000,- 900 last year Home requirements are 68,000,00 bushels.
 Russian advices confirm disappoint- ing harvests last year. Near famine conditions exist in isolated cases Threshing. is on in Australia with se- were storm and rain. Actual shipments are moderate.
 Rumors of renewed submarine activ ity by Germany are heard.
 The political relations with Germany are again disturbing. Modern Miller (Chicago) Outlook: Beneficial rains in winter wheat belt. Sufficient moisture in Kansas, Okla 1 homa, Nebraska and Texas. Soft whea; states relieved by rain, and wheat goes into the winter in better condition Rumor that three million wheat pur. chased by Greece will be resold and not shipped
 Buy on the breaks. The world needs our wheat as badly as she did two weeks ago, and the vast machinery oi l the Interstate Commerce Commission is behind an effort to relieve our do nestle transportation situation, and our judgment says that the price to day is dictated by transportation"

wide RANGE OF choice
IN FLOOR Coverings
BY ADELE MENDEL.

Students of Mexican ANTIQUITIES
agree that the art of weaving rugs is
older than the Egyptian civilization.
There is mention in history of a small
rug 1lx9 inches which was discovered
in Thebes dating from 666 to 35S B. C
Pliny tells Of a rug exhibited at the
banquet of Ptolemy Philadelphus
which cost what would equal $3.50, 900
today, and the rug which Cleopatra
enveloped her form with when she Wis
tied Caesar cost no small sum.
When one considers that a fine Per-
sian prayer rug contains sometime 8
1000 knots or more to the square foot,
and that the weavers are so poorly
paid that the cheapest laborer of our
nation would not even be satisfied,
you must marvel at the patience with
which their souls are possessed An
expert weaver can always ind a hus-
band. Up to her tenth marriage, there
is always an advancing scale which
the husband pays for her, as her skill
as a weaveress and of a housewife is
supposed to increase with her growth
of years.

day has different requirements In length
and shape of corset than the woman
who walks and stands, though they may
be OF the same proportion and think they
can use the same model. Remember that
the corset Is just is important when Sit
ting as standing. so when you are tryins
1t on sit down to see IL 1t is the right
length.
Correct dressing depends as much OF
more upon the carefully fitted, adjusted
corset as on the outer apparel. The spine
should be given measure of freedom,
leaving the corsets open about two inches
at the back. There is not much radical
difference between the accepted mode,
presented and those of last summer. The
most marked change is that the waist
line is little more curved and there
Is trif1e more slope at the hip line The
nat lines at the back and front are still
preserved, as the full outer skirts de.
msnd no undue pressure over the hips
the skirts OF the corsets are comfortably
loose.
Light bonlng is one of the character
lstics. The bust line is rarely more than
five inches in height. The best models
have the corsets little higher in the
back than in the front Striped materials
coutil. brocades and tricot in white oil
flesh color are principally used.
The front laced corset is advocated
for youthful figures as we'll as stout
ones. For the girl in the in-between
age 1t is recommended, as 1t is thought
that the lacing keeps the figure
straight and does away with the round
shoulder tendency of that period by
throwing the figure naturally forward
to the balls of the feet.
One model of silk batiste has a dou-
BILE bust gore which gives a certain
fullness over the diaphragm. and thus
gracefully rounds out the Squire. Elias
tic cores are set in the skirt section
The dancing corsets have undergone
little change. One of the new models
cut low in the back and front was
fairly short skirted with elastic in
serts.
Too numerous to mention all of the
varieties of the brassieres, a few mod
els may give a conception of the new
ideas. Honiton lace in hand embroid-

A cafeteria, or self-feeding,
plan by which hogs make greater
gains in a shorter time and at a
less cost than when fed by a
feeder, is described in Farm and
Fireside. No matter how ex-
perienc I'd and first-class the feeder
may be, says the animal husbandry
department of the Iowa State Col
lege of Agriculture, with a long
record OF experiments to back up
the claims, the cafeteria is better.
''The only objection to the plan
is that it shows that the hogs haye
have more sense than the scien-
tists," declare Dean c. T. Curtiss,
announcing the matter. It does,
indeed, prove that the hog is not
the hog that he has been held up
to be. While he does not choose
bis food with any regard to price
looking down the left hand side
of the menu rather than the right
hand side, where the prices are
set forth--hs does choose it with
regard to the greatest gains to
himself in a perfectly balanced
ration which surpasses anything
the scientists have ever discovered.
Truly the hog does not like hash
any more than does the average
human being, says Prof. John Nj.
Evard, who devised the self
feeder. Hash-fed hogs, even
when given the best of care, do
not do as we'll as settled hogs,
which make gains enough to Offset
the epicurean taste which passes
by hash of cheap feeds and
gorges on the higher priced nor
sells,

The Progressive party is the
least of our concerns at this time,
we believe that the man who is
running for governor on the Pro-
gressive ticket is the best man to
be governor and we believe that
party lines should be CELEBRATED in
this State until the State is in
better condition to fight over
tradition and party discipline.
The proper thing to do. is to stay
out Of the primaries and vote in
the general election for Louisiana
and not the Democratic party.
The party and not the State or
the people need disciplig Injury
to the party hurts no one but the
politicians, injury to the State.
