CHILDREN WILL TEST SEED
Assure Bumper Corn Crop-To
Work Under Defense Council.

Madison Wisconsin's boys and
girls are being enlisted as a branch
of the states food production army
to aid the nation that is, the boys and
girls who attend the rural schools or
study agriculture in the high schools.
They are going to test their fathers
seed corn to help in growing bumper
crops and making every acre count
this year.
In so doing they will be working di-
rectly under the guidance of the State
Council of Defense.
Because every acre of corn must
count this year and only tested seed
can make it count, many people are
being enlisted by the council to aid
the school children and their teach
ers in their drive for the testing of
seed corn.

Hand letters after he gave informal

SHAY KILLS WAITER
ILWAUKEE BASEBALL MANA
GER CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Argument over Sugar Bowl Leads to
Shooting ARRAY in indianapolis
Hotel.

Indianapolis, Ind, May danny
Shay, manager of the Milwaukee
American association baseball club,
Thursday night shot and killed
Clarebo Ewell, a negro waiter, in the
cafe at the Hotel English, where the
Brewer team is stopping, and is under
arrest, charged with murder.
The shooting occurred following a
slight alteration with the waiter over
the serving of some food. After the
bullet entered the walters abdomen
the negro knocked Shay down with his
fists. The Milwaukee baseball mana
ger had just begun to recover con-
seriousness from the attack by the
waiter when the police arrived and
placed him under arrest. He was
taken to police headquarters but re-
fused to make any statement.
Shay was seated at a table, it is said,
and objected to such a small amount
of sugar being in the bowl. His objec-
tons were made to Eugene James col
ored bus boy. James said he walked
away and left Shay talking.
Then Ewell was called and just what
took place between him and Shay the
police have been unable to learn.
Ewell picked up two sugar bowls from
other tables and placed them before
Shay, and it is said, it probably was
the manner employed by Ewell in plac-
ing the bowls on the table that en-
ragged Shay It was following this that
Shay pulled a revolver and fired.

FROST THELEADINC
 FACTOR IN CORN
The Market Advanced on Investment Buying
 Yesterday

Chicago, September 20. = Frosty weather made the corn market today average higher. Closing prices were un- settled at the same as yesterdays finish to A up, with December s1.19B and May s1.16@116M. Oats gained B O 5s c net The result in provisions varied from Sc decline to an advance of 35c.
 Until the last hour corn showed un- mistakable strength. In the final deal ings. however, signs that the market was overbought developed, and decided breaks took place which nevertheless did not deprive the market of good support Seaboard interests that were said to have been among the leading buyers yesterday were reported to have taken profits today on a large scale near the end of the session.
 Strike of grain shovelers gave some independent firmness to the oats mar ket.
 Announcements that the government was requesting country shippers to give wheat preference until further notice were expected to diminish somewhat the movement of other grain, chiefly barley and rye. Wheat receipts con tinued liberal in the northwest but scanty in Chicago, especially hard win ter and spring wheat. All requests here for red winter wheat were taken care of A big trade In flour was reported.
 Packers buying formed the main source of strength in provisions. De- mand appeared to be based on en- larged cash business and on the firm ness of quotations on grain and hogs.
 Future quotations were as follows:

AF TER BEING SOFT
 IN EARLY HOURS
Cotton Resumes Upward Trend and Closes
 at High

New York, September 2o-Rather nerv- ous and irregular early fluctuations were followed by another rapid and excited ad- vance in the cotton market here today. December contracts sold up from 21 .1Oc to p .12c, or 80 points above last nights clos ing, and closed at 22.O5c, with the gem eral list closing strong at a net advance of 46 to S9 points.
 Trading was comparatively quiet early The extent of yesterdays advances seemed to have created some reactionary sentiment, or partially revived bearish confidence in some quarters around the ring. The opening was to IS points high er but the market met considerable cot ton, which included southern selling as well as realizing, or scattered local pres sure. Early reports from the southwest said that spots were offering more free ly in Texas and Louisiana. These ad- vices encouraged the early selling and prices gradually sagged off to A.SSc for October and 21.03 for January, with De- cember and later months showing net losses of about IS to If points. October held well up to last nights closing figures however, and the strength of this po- sition, although attributed largely to the difficulty of replenishing local stocks, had 8 sympa thetic influence on the later months Offerings were gradually ab- sorbed by the buying of Liverpool or trade houses and toward the middle of the afternoon the market became very active and excited on a renewal of gen. eral covering, Wall street and western buying. Reports that southern mills were buying spots in the eastern belt, the larger exports for the day, and a tendency to scale down crop estimates were factors on the advance which ex- tended to p .25c for October and 22c for January, or about 7S to 91 points net higher on the active months. Closing prices were a few points off from the best under realizing.

ASTEEL LEADS STOCK
 MARKET ADVANCE
Ten Per Cent Wage In- crease Interpreted Fa-
 vorably by Market

New York September 2O.-After a pe- rlod of uncertainty with narrow and ir- regular movements. the stock market gained strength today and began de- liberate, but well sustained advance. Early declines were made up and net gains of moderate preparations were es- tablished in active stocks with occasional rises of points or more.
 Except in the last hour the market showed less buoyancy than during yes terday's upturn, which failed to attract any large outside following to the long side. The comparatively small volume of orders on hand at the opening led to a temporary renewal of selling operations, but the demand which was uncovered Wherever prices were forced down, caused the bears to reverse their tac- tics and Join the bidding for stocks. = Individual issues were favored by de- velopments of the day, but there were no new factors of general ap- plication to offer an obvious explana- tion of the movement good deal of attention was paid to renewed Washing ton reports that the uncertainty as to price regulation, at least so for as con- cernS copper, would soon be ended Fa- vorable conclusions we're drawn from the 10 percentage increase by united states Steel and the steel StockS leu the market in strength and activity Of perhaps more commanding influence for the movement, however were the indications that the selling movement had exhausted itself for the time. and that the markets position was still strong technically notwithstanding the extent of the recent rally.
 Tn the steel group the feature was the strong demand for United States Steel, which sold at more than points above the low price of this week. The cop- DOTS held back by uncertainty was to the price to be established for the metal, showed early heaviness, but later made a moderate advance Equipments were bid up brisxly. The railroads continued to remain in the background and with a few exceptions moved within narrow limits.
 The bond market did not reflect the strength of stocks. The tone was ir- regular. Total sales, par value, s3,320,- 000
 United States 2s registered declined 1s and the As coupon 1l on call Liberty bonds sold at 99.9S to 100.
