PATTERSON NAY
 DRIVE IN TEST ACROSS COUNTRY

A. H. Patterson, the Hudson race driver and dealer at Stockton Cal, probably will be selected as one of the drivers in relaying the government transcontinental message from Wash ington to San Francisco. The relay is a test to determine how fast the gov ernment could send a message in case all means of communication were de- stroyed, according to Cal Mesner, local Hudson distributor.
 All the relays have been established except one from Crockers to Modesto, which it is desired that Patterson take in the Hudson Supper Six. At present the fastest automobile passage across

FLOUR AT $40 ONLY A DREAM.
Aid Of Hoover Says S12 Per Barrel Will
Be About Correct.

Chicago Aug. 17.-Flour at $40
barrel is an idle dream; the public may
as well be prepared to pay more TINS
year, said James F. Bell, chairman OF
the advisory committee to aid FOOD
administration, appointed by Herbert
C. Hoover, yesterday afternoon at the
Blackstone. Mr.. Bell declined to pre-
dict a price, saying it would be an
elastic" one.
Pressed for a rough estimate of what
we might pay for flour under the food
board regulation, he said, speaking un-
officially, he thought somewhere
around $12 a barrel" might be fair
But the price will be fluctuating and
dependent on grades and other things.
TT takes five bushels of wheat 10
make barrel of -four" he explained.
"At 81 a bushel that means $40 for raw
material. To this must be added the
cost of manufacturing, the profit to the
mill, the package, which ranges from
so cents to $1.1O barrel, transporta-
ton, distribution and the retailers
profit"
The multiplicity Of packages" in re-
cent years has resulted in 2, 8. 5, Z, ~,
~, "a, 40, 90, 10, 1856, and go pound
packages all being put on the market.
The Hoover food board Mr.. Bell said,
considered ordering one uniform pack
age. Then they ran up against this
snag: The mills could not supply the
bagging or make the bags. They are
equipped to do the business on the
costlier scale, and to1turn the plan over
would topple the whole system and De
costlier in the end. At present flour is
packed in paper, cotton, wood, and Jute.
The smaller paper packages have to De
replaced into still bigger packages or
the railroads will not accept them'
thereby again increasing the cost.
Mixed flour. meaning corn and
wheat combined, will not be factor.
said Mr.. Bell, "At therbest a mixture
of only Is per cent corn -four could be
used successfully. Corn. -four does not
keep well. 1t would not be good eco
nomic sense to risk ruihing IS per cent
wheat to get into the -four the Is per
cent Of corn"

RANGING FROM 80 TO
so CENTS PER >iUNDRED SCORED
ON CHICAGO MARKET.
NEW RECORD PRICE OF
$1s.75 IS ATTAINED
Radical Advance Largely Due to Fail
ure of Arrivals to Reach Expecta-
tions - Plain Quality General in
Cattle Market-Supply Of Sheep in
Excess of Immediate Requirements.

Chicago, Aug. 17-Big new jumps in
hog prices resulted today from the fact
that receipts were much less numerous
than the trade had expected. The ad-
vances ranged from 80 to so cents, top
going to s1s.75.
Hog receipts at eleven markets
Thursday totaled $1,000, or $4,000 less
than a week ago, $4,000 less than a
year ago and $4,000 less than two
years ago. The seven principal western
markets had $4,000 of this number,
which was 5000 more than a week ago
5000 more than year ago and 5000
two years agt
For the first four days of the week
arrivals at eleven markets total POI, 900
head, being 1900 less than same days
last week and $4,000 more than year
ago. The run of $4,000 at the seven
$4,000 more than same days last week,
but $1,000 less than year ago.
Cattle.
Plain quality was general in the cat
tie market.
Quality was only fair and only few
odd lots showing corn finish were to
be had. Top was paid for string of
choice 1253-pound animals, and next
best on sale were yearlings, that made
a new record for the kind at $14.50. A
few others went at s14.00 that were
strictly good, and a three-load string,
averaging 1906 pounds, made $3.50.
RecaiptS hara Thursday 01O were
larger than expected and stood more
than twice as large q week age
and 1000 larger than year ago. Thus
far this week offerings totaled 40,400.
around 1900 larger than same period
last week, 5000 more than two weeks
ago and 1000 below a year ago.
Six western markets beyond Chicago
were moderately supplied and collec-
lively had 1900 which stood q little
larger than a week ago and a year
ago, but proved little smaller than
two weeks ago. The seven western
markets had $4,000 the first four days
this week, or $4,000 more than same
period last week and $1,000 less than
corresponding time a year ago. =
..... Sheep.
The supply Of sheep appeared to be
in excess of immediate requirements Of
the trade.
Early estimate on the FUN of 1000
was excessive, and a few thousand
head were cut off, making the supply
about as expected. 1t was larger than
a week ago. Thus far this week $500
arrived, standing less than half'as large
as corresponding period a year ago.
Seven markets, with $4,000, had more
than a week ago and less than year
ago. Western receipts for the week to
date footed 10000, or 1000 less than
same period last week and $4,000 less
than corresponding four days q year

the memory Of Cakes Ames and Oliver
Ames, the constructors Of President
Lincoln's great steel highway to the
Pacific. 1t is sixty feet square at the

Thru change in the line, built for
the purpose of eliminating unneces-

grade, the Ames monument was left
standing alone nearly five miles from
the new tracks.
The Ames monument shown in the
cut, with a picture of Cakes Ames, is
unique among monuments.
It stands on one of the most lofty
eminences ever chosen for such pur-
pose and commentaries the name OF
the men whose constructive genius car
ried the first railway over the Rocky
mountains, a feat which at the time
held the admiration Of the world.

WARNED TO LEAVE CITY.
Chicago Contractor Accused OF Disloy'
atty at Aurora, i'll.

=
Aurora, ILL.,, Aug. 17-Marching ord
ers were given yesterday TO- William
Stocker a cement contractor OF Chi
cago. because he had been circulating
here a weekly newspaper published IN
that city and which is said to have the
backing of Chicago's mayor, William
Hale Thompson.
Stocker was visited at his hotel by
fifty business men, headed by a COM
mttee appointed at an impromptu
street meeting, which assembled when
the paper was circulated in the bust
ness district. The committee heads
were James McCredie, state grand
warden Of the Masonic order: T. w.
Saunders, former mayor Of Aurora,
and Edward Dorchester, former city
treasurer. Others on the committee
were, John Holslag, former head Of the
state organization Of Spanish war vet
Grams; John Walker, prominent in G..
A. r. circles, and William Willett, one
of the heads Of a local public utility
concern.
The order of the committee to stop
circulating the paper was accompanied
by warning to Stocker not to return.
stocker promised to quit his activities
and leave the city after explainingtthat
he was not being paid for the work,
but was circulating the paper because
of his friendship for Mayor Thompson.
1--WE have sent many Of our boys to
fight for their country and we are go
ing to protect our cities while they are
gone" said Mr.. McCredie in delivering
the ultimatum. "The paper you have
been circulating is not an American pa
per and we don't want 1t here"
Indignation was particularly aroused
by one paragraph in the paper which
read: "All you have to do is toIget
congress to declare war, hog tie the
newspapers, muzzle the people, con-
script an army, make the president one
Of these here 'poohbahs' and then 1t
will be King Woodrow"
On Suckers plea that he could not
assemble his effects he was allowed UNI
til today to leave.

Chicago, Aug. 17-Absence of serious
corn complaints since the $3.50, 0O0,OOO
report, weakness of cash wheat, corn
and oats, along with further signs of
1,600,000,000 oats crop, have left the
corn and oats market under bear lead
ership. That much southern corn will
come north is not indicated, but such
theories were advanced. 1t is too early
to size up corn from an caring point
of view. A corn break is usually due in
August, when the crop is rounding out
successfully.
