Chicago Nov. 2.--Asesrtions that the
largest export buyers were out OF the
market had bearish influence on the
wheat market mere. Besides rains con-
tinued in Argentina. Depression re-
suited also from advices that Mime
apolis millers had purchased 10000
bushels of Canadian wheat freight and
duty paid, at lower cost than domestic
wheat. The opening, which was I'M
changed to l cent up, was followed by
a decided setback and then a moderate
rally.
Rallies took place later because of
reports that foreigners were again
purchasing wheat and flour. The close
was unsettled at 1855 to 1854 for De-
with the market as a whole ranging
from l cent decline to Is cent advance.
Corn.
Unsettled weather gave only tranSi-
ent strength TO corn. Weakness in
wheat values acted more than an Off
set. After opening Il to Is higher the
market hardened little more and Their

Later considerable firmness was
shown, because Of the upturn in wheat

Chicago. Nov. 3.-Wheat-Bearish
news which included lower Argentina
cables and reports of Canadian wheat
by Minneapolis interests was offset by
large exports sales again today and the
buying Of futures against this export
business. The temper of the trade early
today was bearish and turnout much OF
the morning prices ranged lower. BY
midday however. the loss had been re-
covered and the average was shade
higher than last nights close. Modern
Miller called attention to the reduced
acreage in soft winter wheat states and
to the fact that the quality of seed this
year is rather poor.
Corn-EXpectation of increased re-
ceipts led to heavy selling of corn after
a strong opening but on the resulting
break there was good general demand
for the deferred deliveries from com
mission houses and for the December
from cash interests.
Oats-Bear pressure ON oats was OF
only temporary effect, because cash
houses were the best buyers. The scar
city of cars is interfering with ship
ments from terminal markets and Sc
long as this situation obtains there Is
little probability of bull market.

REARRANGE: E:MEN1
TENNIS DRAW
NOT WANTED
BY HAMILTON

. Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
/ NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Ge 'ge NJ.
Church, the Tenafly, N. j., tennis
player, today declared to the United
Press that he is not anxious to see
the annual drawing of pairs for the
national tennis tournament changed
This player, who perhaps, suffered
more this year from the possibilities
Of the method now in vogue, declares
himself entirely satisfied, expecting
some time to draw a set Of opponents
who will be as easy for him to defeat
as some Of the other upper ten have
drawn.
Every year, after the national cham
pionships are decided, there is an ag-
itation to change the method Of ar
ranging th brackets. Williams, hav-
ing drawn a set of easy opponents,
was able to get into the last matches
at Fores Hills fairly fresh. On the
other hand, Church was forced to meet
kumagae. Mclaughlin and Murray,
on three consecutive days, succumbing
to tn latter finally, as much from
exhaustion as from lack of skill.
Probably the present system Of
lbIacketing the players, in which the
names are drawn out of a hat" is
the fairest that can be devised. But
only these who witnessed the drawing
this year know how near Williams
came to being in the second "64''
which would have left "Peck' Griffin
entirely alone in the first half, and
would have meant that the present
national champion would have had to
defeat such stars as Kumagae, Nc
Loughlin, Church, Murray and Behr
before he even got a chance to play
Johnston and reach the finals.
1t is not at all unlikely that there
would have been different champion
today if Williams had been sent
through the same galaxy of players
who were met and defeated by Will
lam M. Johnston.
Those who believe the blind draw
to be good one, argue that every
player, good or bad, pays his entrance
fee, and is therefore entitled to an
equal chance at the championship. To
deliberately pit q weaker player
against star to enhance the chances
Of the latter would certainly be an in
justice to the weaker man. Some
agreement by which "first sixteen"
tentatively selected before the tourna-
ment would be bracketed in differ
ent sections Of the card undoubtedly
would add to the interest of tn eclos-
ing rounds without materially hurting
the chances Of any outsider who was
good enough to win.
The Goddess of Chance, however,
seems likely to hold sway, for picking
a certain number to do battle against
each other probably would cause much
strife.

President Wilson justice, Hoover replied:
1T did when he posed for it. The custom is to perpetuate the features of
the president in oil as soon after his Inauguration as possible. The features
Of woodrow Wilson in that frame are not those of the Woodrow Wilson of

country all winter, for no cold can shackle its
activities nor chill its cheer. Emerson met the
chickadee on a blustery winter day and wrote:
Here was this atom in full breath
Hurting defiance at vast death;
This scrap of valor just for play
Fronts the north wind in waistcoat gray.
A favorite food of the chickadee consists of
the eggs of the two species of tent caterpillar
moths which are among the most destructive of
insects. In winter it eats larvae, chrysalids and
eggs of moths, varied by a few seeds. The
birds bill of fare is made up for the main part
of insects, nearly all of which are known to the
farmer or fruit raiser as pests.
The barn swallow and the purple grackle,
cousin swallows, are familiar to all jewellers in
the country. There are five other common spe-
cies of swallows found within the United States
and all of them are of benefcent life. Swal-
lows take all of their food, or nearly all Of it,
while on the wing. Virtually all of the insects
which they destroy are either injurious or an
noying, and the government scientists say that
the numbers of the pests destroyed by swal-
lows are not only beyond calculation, but almost
beyond Imagination"
Wordsworth might have asked the American
cuckoo, as he did its European cousin, whether
He SHoulu Call IL a Dlru OF Dut a wandering voice.
There are two fairly abundant species of cuckoos
in America, the yellow-billed and the black-billed.
Their habits are much alike. These two birds
are ventriloquists. One hears their voices where
they are not. The cuckoos thread their way
through the tangles of branches, gliding after
the manner Of ghosts. The bird eats what most
other birds disdain. 1t has a special fondness for
the great hairy destructive caterpillars, and when
1t finds a nest Of the tent caterpillars 1t will not
move on until the destruction Of the pests and
their home is complete. The cuckoo frequently
is called the rain crow. 1t has no place as a
weather prophet, however, for it Ia apt to be
especially vociferous in the dryest times.
In the list Of the ten best birds there is only
one bird of the dooryard. These little birds

The accounting officers of the treasury hold that this cannot be done, and also
that the contingent fund of the army was not available for the purpose. 1t was

medical care and treatment or the miscellaneous expense of the service to

The secretary Of war approved the recommendation of the general staff

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta,
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell a carload of
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
a pound, live weight, The sale was
made a short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was a record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$11.12h per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
his farm produces, as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes 'in for raising hogs, beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canada's cheap lands, heavy crops, and
climate free from diseases of stock,
the stock farmer is as sure of success
ac anyone a be.-Advertisement.

DA|RYIKG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in a highly
lourishing condition and is bound in
a very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given it a lot OF
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches.
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, having used it, is quick to ap-
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be a demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have Limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be met. AS a matter of
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is 10Y fully open
and there is every prospect of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential, and in time it is bound to
become one of the finest cheese
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping of milk and cream and
cheese, and that is a great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist ON the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof

to the mind of the average prospective
