CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, May 25.---Drought and ex-
cessively hot weather causing rapid
deterioration of crops in oklahoma
and parts of Kansas brought about
advances today in the wheat market
here Closing prices, although un-
settled, were Y to S c net higher with
July at $1.10as a y and September at
NllA. Corn lost is to 27sc oats
finished Zee down TO shade advance
and provisions off 2 "a TO sc.
As result Of prevailing adverse
conditions, estimates on the Oklaho-
ma wheat crop were reduced by some
authorities today to as low as Is, 000,-
600 bushels as against recent fore
casts Of 25,000,00O bushels and against
last years harvest of 36,5oo.O 600
bushels. Figures on the Kansas yield
were also much diminished.
Two Interruptions to the upward
course OF the wheat market took
place-one just after the opening, the
other shortly before the close. Pre-
dictons Of cooler temperatures and
possible showers especially in Okla
homa, caused the transient early set
back.
Sharp breaks in the value of corn
followed announcements that addi-
tons Of 100000 bushels to the pub
lie elevator capacity here were to be
made forthwith. oats held relatively
firm.
Provisions weakened with hogs and
corn.

YOU CAN'T BUY
SIX LOAVES FOR
25CfS.ANYMORE
Bakers Announce Bread will
be Five Cents q Loaf.
Straight.
NEW PRICE WILL co
IN EFFECT TO-DAY.
Flour Has Jumped 100 Per Gent
Since War, Dough Experts
Announce.

Beginning today no loaf of bread
will be sold in Cape Girardeau for less
t than five cents The local bakers here.
tofore have issued six bread tickets
for 25 cents, each one good for loaf
of bread.
The three bakeries last night held a
meeting in the office of C. Wielpuetz
on Good Hope street and passed a
resolution to discontinue the sale of six
loaves for quarter.
Max Wielpuetz, who was selected as
spokesman for the bakers, last night
said that all outstanding bread tickets
will be redeemed on the old basis of
six loaves for % cents, but after they
have been collected, no more would
be issued.
The bakers also decided to increase
the price of bread to retailers. All
stores or shops where bread is pur-
chased in large quantities will be re-
quired to pay more for this commod-
ity IN the future. The percentage of
increase on bread by the wholesale
was not revealed by the bakers last
night, but it is understood that the
new schedule Of prices will go into eff
feet today.
Mr.. Wielpuetz, in discussing the five
cent loaf, said the new price of -four
had forced this action. Before the
war broke out in Europe" said he,
"fiour was selling in this city for 81
barrel. 1t is now selling at from
$3.50 to 50 a barrel, and the greater
part of this jump in price has taken
place within the past six months.
"The big increase this year is due
to the poor wheat yield over the
United States. and the inability of
grain dealers to ship their wheat to
the markets where it can be turned in
to flour. The shortage of freight cars
has made it impossible to move great
quantities of wheat from the North
western States. In the Middle West
States the crop has been almost a
failure.
"But the Cape Girardeau bakers have
decided to reduce the loaf. Most of
the bread consumed in the city of Cape
Girardeau has been bought by tickets,
which means that the consumers OBJ
tanned six loaves for Is CENTS. BY maxi
ing bread flee cents loaf, we have
ing bread five cents a loaf, we have
been able to avoid reduction in the
flour as when flour was selling for less
than half what it is today.
"Our new price will go into effect
Sunday morning. The prices of cakes
and other commodities produced by the
Cape bakeries will not be changed"

WILL have A 1900
HEN POULTRY PLANT
AL Bohnsack Says viii Return to
Cape in Year to Put in
Machinery.

On the eve of his departure for his
home in Athelo, Wash, Al Bohnsack,
former Cape man who has been visit
ing for the last month with relatives in
the Cape, yesterday announced that he
expects to return to the Cape within
year to establish a modern poultry
plant on his 5-acre farm on West In
dependence street.
M. Bohnsack, who has been devot-
ing part of his time to poultry rails
ing in the Northwest, told his friends
in the Cape that when he returns here,
he will put in a chicken raising plant
that will be the last word in that
branch of the bucolic industries.
He will have from 1900 to 1900 lay
ing hens on the job all the time, he
declared. Whole buildings and cellars
will be devoted to incubators and
breeders for the frying size chicks
from the time they are Matched to the
time they have their necks wrung for
the skillet.
Mr. Bohnsack is employed as boil
ermaker in the West, and he has been
successful with the investments he had
made there. A few years ago he pur-
chased the farm he now owns on West
Independence street from an uncle,
William Bohnsack.
He was accompanied by his wife
and child on the trip to the Cape, and
they have been visiting with his faith
er, August Bohnsack, as well as Mrs.
Bohnsack's father, Willis Martin.
Bohnsack declares he has learned
the secret of making hens keep on the
job and he desires to transplant it to
the Cape. 1t is one of his ambitions
to have the most up-to-date poultry
plant in Southeast Missouri, he says.

RIVER AT LOWEST
STAGE in z YEARS
Still Dropping and Work on I'm
provements May Start
Today.

After fall Of half foot in the last
80 hours, the stage of the river last
night reached a lower mark than it
has been in the last two years, and is
in better shape for proposed improve
ments along the river front than ever
before.
Yesterday engineers in charge of the
construction of the wall along the river
front opposite Aquamsi street began
making arrangements to get their
work in operation and employ the time
when the water will be at low stage
to push their work along
The river still is falling, and, ac-
cording to Capt. Al Jaynes, there is a
strong probability that it will set a
record for low water In recent years.
The stage at o'clock last night was
1872 and between 6 a. M. and p. m.
yesterday it fell two-tenths of foot.
On the East Side, Captain Jaynes'
ferry boat, Gladys is forced to go up
stream a considerable distance in Or
der to effec ia landing, and he said
that even there the water is shallow.
In addition to the work on the river
front at the porpose dlocation of a new
Frisco depot, work in the riverbed by
the Public Utilities Company in putting
in new intake crib for the water sup
ply is pending. The company has been
ordered to put in the modern intake
apparatus as soon as the river stage
permits work there.
Captain Jaynes last night declared
that farmers on the East Side this fall
will harvest a half corn crop on ac-
count of unfavorable water last spring
and last winter He said the corn crop
has been made in the field and the
yield will be of good quality, but will
be curtailed by crop damage done here
tofore.

A. 0. COOKS HOME In
new MADRID BURNS
Well Known Travelling Man only
Saves an Ice Box From
the Flames.

The home of A. o. Cook, the WELL
known candy salesman of New Madrid,
Mo-, was burned early yesterday
morning. The pretty old mansion was
reduced to ashes and all that Mr.. Cook
saved was an ice box and one bottle
of beer.
'lr. Cook, who arrived in the Cape
last night, said he was awakened
shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
Ing by shouts of fire! When he glanced
out Cf 9 window he discovered flames
flames shooting out of the historic
residence adjoining him. He aroused
his wife and they dressed and hurried
ly left the building.
MIR. Cook AM some Of his neigh
bo"s were preparing to remove the
furniture form the Cook home when
one Of the fremen informed him that
his rome was safe. Half an hour later
the flames swept to his residence and
the house was soon afame.
In the excitement the men rushed in
and out of the buildings, yelling in
structions at each other When the
building had been reduced to ruins, Mr..
Cook discovered that only his ice box
had been carried from the house. Open
ing the cooler he discovered that it
contained only one bottle of beer,
which he declared had been made
"fat" by the heat.
A neighbor attempted to remove the
paintings of the mother and father of
Mrs. Cook, but without realizing what
the neighbor was doing, Mr.. Cook or
dered him to rescue some furniture.
The man seized leg from bed and
fled from the burning building.
The home and contents were insured
for $4,000 which was hardly one-fourth
Of their actual value.

SOW YOUR ALFALFA
NOW, SAYS EXPERT
McWiIlianis Tells How To Pre-.
pare Soil For Sowing
Seed.
By C. N. McWiIliams,
County Farm Adviser.

ALFALFA-Alfalfa that is to be
seeded this fall should be sowed now.
From August Is to September Is is
the best time for seeding in this local.
ity and the earlier seeding is better
than the later. 1t is too late to get
best results in preparing a seed bed
for alfalfa now, because of the diff
Guilty in compacting the soil in time
for seeding. Not less than two tons of
ground limestone per acre should be
applied to the land after, it is plowed.
The limestone should be worked into
the soil by disking and narrowing On
land seeded for the first time inocula-
ton either with cultures furnished by
the Government on soil from an al
faifa field should be used. Alfalfa
must be sowed early enough to allow
time for the young plants to root deep
enough to largely resist the pulling
caused by freezing and thawing.
4 considerable number of alfalfa
fields are being seeded this fall, and
as they are for the most part put
in properly, success is to be expected.
It is not too early to plan for next
years seed corn. Already orders for
seed to be selected from the standing
stalk have been received. The latter
part of September and the first part of
October is the ideal time for selecting
seed. In some sections October 1 has
been designated as seed corn day.
On September 4, ), 6, z, s an effort
will be made to make the habits Of the
Hessian fly and the best known meth
dds controlling it familiar to every
wheat grower in the county who is in
terested. Ten field meetings and three
night meetings have been arranged for
in as many different localities as pos
sTble. Prof. t. J. Talbert and L. F.
Childers, of the Missouri College of
Agriculture will assist in the work.
The complete list of meetings was
published last week and posters an
nouncing them was also sent out.
Everyone at all interested in this SUBJ
ject is invited to attend.
On Saturday afternoon, October 26,
Mr.. Albert Liddy held colt show at
Oak Ridge. Entries were restricted to
colts sired by his stallion and prizes
of $3.50, $1,000 and $500 were award
ed. A very creditable exhibit was made
and d crowd of at least $50 stock rats
ers were present. This practice has
proven to be very successful in some
sections and has become an establish
cd custom. Other stallion and jack
owncrs might profitably adopt a SIM
liar Plan. Such exhibitions do much to
familiarize mare owners with available
stock and to form a reliable opinion of
his value as a sire.
