GRAIN AND PRODUI

Chicago, August Si.-Corn advanc price today. the increase beginning initial sales and continuing virtuaIiy without Interruption through the session closing near the top Rapid absorption of offerings was evident whenever reces- sions appeared and at times an ovarsoid condition was noted which forced shorts to cover their lines. Cash strength was an important factor and some traders re- garded the government wheat price, an- nounced today, as of buliish influence. The close was strong, 2 to 25sc higher with December at S1.12 to s1.12A and May at S1.OSN to s1 os7s. Oats showed strength with September leading and closed 1@c to 1ssc higher. Provisions fin- ished the day with moderate gains
 In the corn pit some of the strength was attributed to private prediction of frost. Cash corn sold from 5c to sc higher and gave basis to a pronor-c s1 strong undertone through trs day. Receipts>of corn were light and local sales aggre- gated 15.ss ,ushels
 Trade in cash wheat was light and prices went through a readjustment to the basis of the government figures, which placed s2.2o a bushel as the price of No wheat, with variations for other grades. all figures being at the Chicag terminal Buying and selling of wheaa will be in hands of the local food ed ministIator tomorrow. The new dfffere tials fixed by the government comm sion or wheat did not meet the approy of the Chicago Board of Trade and directors of the board protested agair them on the ground that they were just and would work against Chicago d prevent grain from reaching this mj Let.
 Wheat traders generally held aioof fl the market awaiting announcement the course to be pursued when the prices go Into effect tomorrow.
 Oats showed strength throughout session. Impressive covering by shor who were anxious to protect their Sc tember lines. was a marked feature the day.
 The strength of corn was also a cd trolling factor on the rise and extrerne light offerings contributed to the a vance

Meeting for Men ONLY

DR.. E. P. Quain will talk to men
only at the McCabe Methodist Episco'

pieces Of the Hustlers' Bible class of

of the Bismarck section Of the Amer
lean Red Cross society.
A social hour will follow the pro-
gram, at which time ice cream, cake
and coffee will be served. The SOL
der boys are extended special In
vitation, along with the general in
vitation to all men of the city.
More Workers Needed.
The magnitude OF the work on Red
Cross articles which has been as
signed the capital city for the IA
boxes to equip the Bismarck section
of the American Red Gross, is just
beginning to be known by the many
women who go daily to the basement
of the nurses home to sew.
Although the response has been
splendid, yet it will take many days
to finish the work. No definite time
has been given the section for its
departure for France, and so the
work goes on under high nervous
tension for fear the call will come
before the boxes are packed.
Many more women are needed t"
sew. The invitation is extended to
anyone interested in aiding.
The third and fourth divisions Of
the Ladies Aid society of the Nc
Cabe church will sew tomorrow az
ternoon. Other church societies have
worked this week and many individ-
uals. Work can be taken home If
volunteers find they cannot go to the
