Hogs--For a Monday the hog run was
very fair. Arrivals counted out los cars, or
about 1900 head, being heavier than last
week by 400, i.I00 larger than two weeks
age. and moro than twice as large as for the
corresponding Monday OF last year. To.
days run was the largest for a week opener
since four weeks ago.
Local receipts, white larger than usual
were not heavy enough TO have much OF a
hcarish Influence on the market. but other
points reported excessive runs and SHARP
breaks, giving buyers q valid excuse FIT

Records for Wheat
Receipts Broken
For Omaha Market

All past records of wheat receipts
were broken non the Omaha market
the first of the week, when &c car
loads of wheat appeared
Prices held up well under the flood
of wheat offered and at the close of
the buying only a few samples re-
manned. In these vast receipts Omaha
led all primary grain markets in the
United States for the day and was
second only to Minneapolis, which is
not strictly primary market.
OF this large offering of wheat fully
90 per cent was new wheat. Grain
men find that this is of excellent
quality. In fact, the Nebraska crop
this year bids fair to lead all states
in quality and in the quantity per
acre.
A year ago there was but one car
load of wheat offered in Omaha for
the day.
The vast offering of Monday repre-
sents a cash value of over $750,000.

Aviator Able to Look
Over Biu Area Of Land

Correspondence of The Associated Pressl
Paris, July 2l.-An airship at 1000
cubic yards height is able to make
observations over a surface OF ground
800 miles in diameter, according to
information collected in the discus
sion of the services that aircraft has
rendered during the war An aviator
at 1000 yards height has within his
vision zone seventy-five miles i'll
diameter. Accordingly, the Able
Moreaux OF the Bourges observatory
has figured out that an aviator Of
the entrenched camp of Paris at 1000
yards height is able to see as far as
Chartres, Orleans, Beauvais, Amiens
and the German front beyond Com
piegne, with the city Of Laon.
The visibility, calculated mathe-
matically, is rarely possible, however
in practice, because atmospheric con-
ditions are seldom just right for it.

HAY FORK ACCIDENT.
Boy Carried Thirty Feet in Air by
Finger.

Oswaldo Hansen, young fellow
who has been working for Peter Mil
Ter on the latter's farm southwest
of Hampton, was the victim of a Pc
.culiar as we'll as very painful acct
dent one day last week. Young Han
sen, who has been employed at the
Miller home since he came over from
Denmark a couple of years ago, was
assisting with the work of putting UP
the hay at the time Of the accident.
He was handling the hay fork on a
load of hay while storing the load in
one of the large hay barns, and as he
forced the hay knife down into the
load the third finger of his right
hand became caught in the pulley,
and as the word to the fellow who
was driving on the hay rope had al
ready been given to "go", Hansen
was pulled up in the air thirty
| feet to the carrier track at the roof
Of the barn, and about ten feet be-
yond before his rredicament was no.
| ticed and the horse pulling the hay
rope was stopped. Hansen's finger
was fractured and the skin nearly
all peeled off from it, but otherwise
he was njured.-Hampton Chron.

laws have been shamelessly violated"
and that there has been reckless ex-
trayagance." Mr.. Hughes concluded
as follows:
1--WE live in fateful hour. In true
sense the contest for the preservation
of the nation is never ended. We must
still be imbued with the spirit IF
heroic sacrifice which gave us our
country, and brought us safely through
the days of civil war. We renew our
pledge to the ancient ideals of indi-
vidual liberty, of opportunity denied to
none because of race or creed, or un-
swerving loyalty. We have a vision
of America prepared and secure,
strong and just, equal to her tasks, an
exemplar of the capacity and efficiency
of free people. l indorse the plat
