camp to another. The motion picture
machines are so arranged that on fine
nights the screens can be set UP in
the open air and unlimited audiences

The Red Cross of certain states is fur

Helpful Religious Work.
The weekly programs of the asso-
citation buildings are not built for a
round of pleasure alone. The secre-
taries see that constructive religious
work is carried on. On Sunday morn
ings regimental chaplains hold services
in the buildings and in the afternoon
or evening the secretaries themselves
conduct meetings. Men who would
not think of going to church at home
attend regularly During the week
there are one or more religious meet
inSs Frequently the evening is closed
with five minutes of hymns and the
driving home. of a single simple lesson
and a good might prayer. The score
taries visit the men in the hospitals
and in the guard houses and are al
ways ready to help a fellow who is i'll
or in distress or who needs good
counsel
In most of the camps the chaplains
Cooperate in the Y. NJ. C. A. work,
making use of the association facilities
to strengthen their influence with the
men Of their regiments. From a ma
jority of the officers and most OF the
men there is the most cordial CO.
operation and help. Committees COM
posed of soldiers have been organized
in each camp for nearly every branch
Of the Y. NJ. c. A. work.
The original plans of the Army Y.
NJ. c. A. called for the prompt orsani-
cation Of its work in the larger camps,
where a military unit would be at the
least full regiment. So urgent have
men that the work be extended into
the smaller camps and provision made
for small attachments in the Big Bend
district of Texas and other sections
that a considere BILE expansion has been
required A number of state and city
associations are cooperating, raising
money to pay for buildings and pay
ing the salaries of secretaries with
troops from their own states. But the
army and navy association is in need
of funds to further finance the work
it is called on to do and is grateful for
contributions from citizens and friends
of the soldiers everywhere

Down by Auto,

| Des Moines, Sept. Little Leslie
Hansen was 5 years old yesterday.

glee as Leslie, his two little sisters
and two little brothers left the Capitol
Hill Christian church Sunday school
room. All but Leslie knew mother had
prepared a birthday cake, and buoy
antly they hurried their proud brother
to the street car which would take
them to their home at 725 Wisconsin
street.
1t was Leslie's day and the parents
waited to shower their boy with love.
Plans had been made for happy Sun
day in the Hansen home.
In the twinkling of an eye q pail
of gloom settled over the Hansen home.
The boy was run down and killed
by an automobile when he alighted
from the street car at East Ninth and
Guthrie streets. Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen
were awaiting the return of their chill
dren from Sunday school when DR.. T.
H. Odell. of Abba, Ia, whose car ran
over the child, followed by the other
children, bore the lifeless and mangled
body IN the front door.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Speculative de-
mand today proved sufficiently urgent
to cause an advance in the hog market.
In was the theory that because of the
rush of preferred freight the receipts
of hogs in the next few days would be
light.
Receipts of hogs at Chicago for the
week totaled 166.30O, the largest since
week of March is, an increase of 34,-
900 compared with the previous week.
$500 compared with the same week
last year and $1,000 compared with
the corresponding week two years ago.
Average weight of hogs at Chicago
for the week was estimated at IA
pounds, the heaviest since last August,
thirteen pounds heavier than the pre-
!vious week, same as the same week
last year, and four pounds lighter than
1.-THE corresponding week two years
lago.
| Top hogs at Chicago for the week
made s11.55, paid Thursday, and
standing highest on record for the
yards, against S11.30 the previous
week, $3.50 a year ago and 1915 two
years ago Average price figured $1,000,
or cents under the record Of the high
week in March, 1910, 10 cents higher
sthan the previous week, 1915 higher
than a year ago and $3.50 higher than
two years ago.
Cattle.
| The holiday observance precluded
,any activity jim the cattle market.
/ The erratic advances, measuring
Isl .25 to $50 in great any cases up
Ito Thursday, were simply caused by
1.-THE short runs and the probability of
Trail tie-up, and it was natural today,
with the conditions prospective Of
,clearing, that the market should have
a violent reaction. Prices. either going
higher or lower. are unstable, and IT
lbehooves the country operator to bear
this in mind and govern his shtpm ents
accordingly until the railway situation
lis finally disposed of.
I The liberal liquidation at the close
of the week. along with the large num-
lber Of stock received direct by pack
lers, made the weeks supply tota.
about $500 head, being the larges
supply since early last December. TIL,

SIT a year ago, and $500 for same
week two years ago.
Sheep.
Most of the sheep and lambs went
ldirect to killers.
With the railroad difficulty appar-
emily averted. the selling side is TAX
ing more or less optimistic view Of
this weeks trade prospects, based on
THE theory that receipts will be cur
tailed. Packers today talk somewhat
bearishly. but eastern dressed mar
| kets are closing the week in much bet
ter condition than a week ago. which

mocracy," exclaimed the president as
he spoke of Lincoln s exemplfying
the American spirit as showing The
heights which men of Lowry birth may
attain.
I'VE are not worthy to stand here.

deed and in truth real democrats and
servants of mankind, ready to give our
very lives for the freedom and justice
and spiritual exaltation of the great
nation which shelters and nurtures
us"

Not Typical Americans.
Here Lincoln had his beginnings.
Here The end and contamination of
that great life seem remote and bit
incredible. And yet there was no

ELECTRIC LINE OF DEATH"
Continuous Wire Fence Now on Bor-

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
TILBURG, Netherlands, December 1.
A continuous wire fence, charged
with electricity at high tension. marks
the border line between Belgium and
Holland. To touch the wire means in
slant death, and ii is seemingly i'm
possible for even cat to crawl
through unscathed. AS matter of
fact, electrocuted dogs. cats and chick
ems are often found enmeshed in tho
wires. Resolute smugglers. however,
are undismayed and constantly devise
new tricks to circumvent the line of
death"
In d field near Baarle Nassau. close
to the frontier. whole set of con-
trivances has been discovered which
enable a man to cross the line I'M
harmed. The principal object was a
fiat oblong piece of wood. provided
with a rubber coated groove length
wise down the center Then. by means
of hinged and jointed side supports
the wire is pushed upward and a tun-
opening appears, through
which an. ordinary sized man. lying on
his back may safely wriggle without
coming into contact with the fatal
wire. The official report says: THE
owner has not presented himself to
claim the return of his property
