lowed by moderate setback all

pressure on oats and brought about
a decided sag in quotations.
Big supplies OF hogs at the chief
packing centers throughout the west
made provisions drop. Pork, espec-
tally was weak.
Reports that ideal conditions to

WEEKLY DANCE FOR
MEN OF SERVICE

The regular weekly dance will be
given for the men of the service in
the Keyser auditorium tonight at 8
o'clock, and it is expected that the
attraction will draw the usual large
crowd, both in Pensacola and from
the reservation.
Improved checking facilities have
been installed during the past week
to prevent the congestion expert
enced during cold weather when
there are more coats than could be
accommodated. The new system
prevents this and no trouble is ex-
pected.

A war OF brains is being waged
daily between auto thieves and auto
owners. Omaha. which has suffered
much from depradations Of daring
crooks, is in the very vortex Of the
battle.
Charles Z. Page Of the Auto De-
vice Sales company says he recently
sent two men into suburban districts
with instructions to inquire about the
attitude OF the suburban dwcllers in
reference to driving their cars into
Omaha to do their shopping, The
agents reported that the suburbanites
were fearful OF auto thieves and often
left their cars at home when they
had 10 do some city shopping,
Locking a car is not the simple
process il seems. Anchoring the
wheels is against the traffic and fire
ordinances. And when the wheels
weren't locked, nothing prevented
auto thieves from towing the machine
away, as they have been doing fire.
