Wheat
There is no material change in the
wheat market since the last report
from this office. Recent successes Of
the allies in the European war have
had some effect on the market and
caused uncertainty. The market is
hesitating. If the war continues and
the allies fail to get the Russian
wheat thru the Dardenelles the
American wheat grower will be the
winner. Canadian crop is officially
estimated at 168,000,000 bushels
against 376,O00,000 a year ago.
Imports from France and Italy set
the pace in clover seed prices last
year, but these countries promise to
be less influential this year, due to
a wet season and poor crop prospects.
The clover seed market is hesitating,
on account of conflicting crop reports
from various sections, but it Is ex-
pected that the supply can soon be
fairly we'll determined. Present
prices are below an average of recent
years.
Timothy seed is about due to get
out of the rut. Reports indicate that
the crop is larger and mostly OF good
quality.

| Hay
| The hay situation is practically the
same as outlined in my September l
report, except that concerted move
ment has recently been launched by
some feeders to beat down prices.
The plan Is to get out of the market
temporarily, all buyers to simultan-
eously stop buying and then sit
tight" until well into the fall. BY
this plan it is hoped to get better
measurements when hay is finally
purchased, thru longer settling In
the stack; but the principal benefit
expected is to break the ranks OF
the growers by making them lose
their nerve in their present determ-
nation to hold for prices more In
keeping with the laws of supply and
demand than they have secured In
the past. Judging by the disposition
at present displayed by the growers
in most districts the plan isn't going
to work; but it may possibly become
necessary to organize the hay grow
ers for their own protection. Some
of the feeders, as well as some OF
the outside buyers have been very
fair in thir dealings with the grow.
ers, and If more Of the buyers were
as considerable of the rights and wei
fare of the hay producers the forma'
ton of protective association would
not need to be considered. EXPIRES
sions from growers along this line
are invited.

DEFENSIVE STRENGTH

While the allied offensive has not
gained any great amount Of territory,
it has had a salutary effect on the
morale of the British and French
troops. And it has had a more encour-
aging effect on the people of England
and France. Their own armies are
the aggressors. 1t is very much like
the feeling of buoyancy which cheers
student body when its own football
team has the ball. This means all the
difference between shouting Hold
them back! Hold them back and
Touchdown! touchdown
The allies have been enabled to con-
tinue their offensive for some time.
Sir Douglas Haig, in an interview
with the Associated Press, gave some
interesting side lights on the prepare
tons for the offensive.
"The problem for the first summers
campaign and the second for the allies"
he said, twas to hold the Germans
from forcing a decision with their
ready number of men, guns and shells.
Whether it was able generalship and
heroism of the French on the Marine,
the logged retreat of the little British
expeditionary force from Mons, the
stubborn resistance of the French and
British to the German effort for the
channel ports, the Russian retreat last
summer, Belgium's or Servia's sacri-
flee, Italy's stonewalling against Aus
trials offensive or Frances immortal
defense of Verdun, the purpose has al
ways been to gain time for prepara-
tons necessary to take the offensive
away from the enemy
Sir Douglas says England will not
achieve her fun strength on land until
next summer, yet he is very much en-
couraged over the fact that the Brit
ish now have the offensive. They are
running with the ball, so to speak.
The widely recognized fact that both
armies are stronger on the defensive
than on the offensive becomes more
apparent with every failure Of the al
lies to break the German lines. De-
veloped to the top notch in defensive
strength, the armies in Europe are
fighting to but one end-a hopeless

at 7 o'clock to go to his supper. He

back fifteen minutes later the money
was gone. A door at the back of the

torn loose. From this fact it is evil
dent that someone was hidden in the

The days Of imported bisque dolls
are past. The war has cut them of.
The day of the AmeTican-made doll
is here. And these new American
dollies, whose heads you can ham
mer on the floor without breaking,
look like real life babies instead of
the golden-haired, pink-cheeked,
empty-headed images that used to
come to US from France and Ger
many.
Nearly 100000 worth of Amer
lean dolls were made this year, ac-.
cording to Louis Amberg, one Of the
biggest doll manufacturers and pres
ident of the American Doll Manu-
facturers' assn.
These American dolls are going
into every corner of the world" said
Amberg. "Only the other day we
had an order for dolls cabled all the
way from Java! Into the heart Of
the Himalayas, into the East Indies,
into Russia, Spain, Denmark, Cen
trail America, Africa, the American
dolls are going.
"a year ago our South American
doll trade amounted TO only $4,000.
This year it has jumped to $500, 900.
Practically every country on
earth is buying American dolls this
Christmas, except France and Great
Britain, which prohibit the importa-
ton of dolls.
-'eYet the American doll industry is
small yet compared with its future
possibilities. There are only 81 con
Germs making dolls in this country,
and 1 doubt if the total capital in
vested in the industry is over $780,
900.
Eve can't hope to beat Germany
out of the business for a while yet,
for the Germans have centuries of
experience in dollmaking. Moreover,
they have an ample supply of bisque
clay and we have none in America.

TAKES SIX DAYS to MAKE A DOLL
Every doll in the Christmas win
dows today has gone through a mar
velous process of manufacture, pass
ing through so to 100 hands.
The dolls actually have to go to
the Oculist's, the hairdresser's, the
manicure shop and the chiropodist's
before they are put on the market!
The new dolls are made of a secret
''wOod-hour' composition that looks
like brown sugar. This is put into
moulds, which form the legs and
bodies of the dolls. After being baked
for six minutes, the embryo dolEies
are glued together, shaped up, pol
ished and painted. Delicate hands
and feet are made in separate moulds
and the specially difficult process of
attaching them is next on the pro-
gram.
The head, after being nodded and
polished, is turned over to the
''beauty doctors, real artists, who
paint in the features. The eyes are
then put in and the wig glued on.
The whole process takes about six
days.
