 Elmer Sisco has been employed to teach at Rudd.
 J. Polk Fancher was here Friday looking after his campaign interests. Dr. Sisco, our efficient road overseer, is doing some excellent work on the road from Osage to Delmar. It is his intention, if he can interest other over seers, to connect it with the great White Way" leading from Russell vile to Harrison, when that road is completed Dr. Sisco gives his ser vices gratis and uses the money com ing to him to put more work on the roads.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

Recent Recessions in Rails Were Ex
 tended by One to Four Points.

New York, Oct. 2.-The greater de- pression which attended today's stock niliar causes or conditions, namely, steady liquidation of securities of a character heretofore favored by in vestors.
 were extended by one to four points, few issues of that division escaping
 the process of attrition. New low records were registered by the St. Paul, New. York Central and Baltimore and Ohio, while many other trans rortation stocks came within easy approach of their minimums.
 No developments of a specific or definite nature were offered in expla- nation of this movement, but in we'll informed circles the belief still ob- tained. that the selling emanated from foreign quarters. The bears were not slow to avail themselves of the de- cline, which was accelerated from time to time by the extension of short contracts.
 Industrials and the various shares included in the war group were plain Iy, inclined to shake off the pressure against rails, but yielded with the general list until the final hour, when gradual improvement set in, the mar Ket changing from it's heavy tone to one of moderate irregularity.
 U. &. SteePS course was again indi- cative of the general movement. From its low level of 10S IA. Steel rallied two points, closing at 11O 1-8, a net loss of an insignificant fraction. Cop rars were irregular at best, but ship pings and recognized pool shares were steady to strong. Total sales amount ed to 735, 900 shares.
 Call money was stabilized by the money pool, but time funds were again in scant supply, though quotably Remittances to London and Paris were easier and the rate on Rome hardened slightly.
 Bonds were heavy on moderate the Liberty issue selling at l 99.94 to par. Total sales (par value) 1 aggregated $3,750,OOO.

Chicago, Oct. 2-with the arrival tonight of the first out of town con tingent for the worlds series. the prices of tickets for the three Chicago games were. sent skyward by scalpers who insist they will be able to supply purchasers who failed to get seats through the regular channels.
 Although the reserved seat tickets and the box sea ts will not be distrib uted to- purchasers until Thursday, scalpers are accepting deposits on or ders and are asking $50 for $5 box seat for three games and $35 for stand seats which sold for $1.50 each. What system the speculators are using in their attempt to obtain tickets. is puz- zling officials of the Chicago Ameri- cans. as all tickets are registered and obliged to call personally for, their al 1otments. Chicagoan whof baked at the prices demanded by scalpers in serted an advertisement in news stand seats for the first two games.
 Samuel A. Ettleson. corporation counsel, joined the fight with Presi- dent Comiskey of the Chicago club against scalping. Ettleson will confer with Chief of Police Schuettler tomor- row for the purpose of enlisting the aid of the police.
 Purchasers of the 1s,0oo bleachers and pavilion seats which will be be obliged to pass through a long wire cage, entering the park immediately after buying tickets. There will be no turning back. The reason for this is to prevent purchasers from getting tickets and then .mingling in the crowds to resell them.
 The champion White Sox will return home tomorrow for an exhibition game with the Cleveland club of the Ameri- can league. The players will be guests at a banquet tomorrow night given in their honor by the Woodland Bards. an organization composed of President .Comiskey's personal friends. Seats for 1, 400 persons have been ar ranged.
 William L. Deeck, representing the local chapter of the Baseball Writers association of America, announced to- night that tickets for the series re- quested by newspaper workers would be distributed at the Congress hotel on Friday.

Special Bill Provides For

of Hundred Submarines

Washington, Feb. .. = Immediate
construction of one hundred submar-
ines. eighty for coast defense and
twenty fol fleet operations. was pro-
posed in a special bill introduced to-
day by Senator PoindeXter, of Wash

to the eighteen submarines proposed
in the regular naval bill now pending

The bill would direct that not less
than six of the fleet submarines and
not less than % of the coast submar-

Europe, but it could and would send
its navy TO protect American COM
merce.
The raising of an adequate army, Il
was expected, would begin immediate
ly on the declaration of hostilities. II
would take year and half at least

war might be over by that time. but
as peace without. victory would then
be i'm the discard, the chances are that

Would Make Allied Victory Sure
The entrance of the United States
into the war, though it would mean
little to the allies in a military way
at the outset, would be of the greatest
! moral value. 1t would wipe out all
| the irritation of Mr.. Wilson'S peace
proposals. 1t would show the world
/ that the American people were not

1t certain that Germany could not
win, or even obtain a draw.
Tie American army that could he

If the war were still in progress at
that time, it should be a preponderat-

would give the coup de grace.
