COLONEL HARTS ASKS
FOR SERVICE IN FIELD

Local interest is centered in the fol.

been seen on the screen in local picture
SHOWS wherever the subject is one that
includes the chief executive. He grad
uated from the military academy at
West Point in 1889, well up at the head
Of his class.
Following is the comment recorded
in the Washington Star:
col. William w. Harts, corps of en-.
gineers, who has done so much for the
Improvement Of the public parks of the
District since he assumed charge of pub.
hc buildings and grounds in this vicini-
ty' in October, 1913, has made a strong
plea for assignment to duty with troops
In the field, and the indications are that
his application will be granted within
the next few days.
There is immediate need for exne.
rienced officers to arrange for the or.
ganization Of the new national army
and the national guard increments
shortly to be called into federal service.
Many additional general officers. in.
cluding major generals and brigadier
generals will be appointed by the pres.

President Wilson is known TO have
high appreciation Of the services of
Col. Harts both in his special capacity
as his chief military aid in charge Of
official functions at the White House
and in his administration OF the office

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Chicago Market

Chicago, July 23.-Corn showed a
tendency to harden in value TODAY ow.
ing largely to the scantiness of reserve
stocks and to continued urgent demand
for supplies available for immediate use.
Influential selling on bulges. however.
served to check any radical advance.
Later. the September option advanced
TO the highest level yet this season.
Receipts here were small and so. too.
were rural offerings The close was
nervous, is to l Is net higher. at
Sl63 3-4 Sept, and $116 ga to III.
December.
Opening prices which ranged from the
same as Saturdays finish to "a higher.
with september at 1853 to 1881 and
December at 116h to 116h were fol.
lowed by something Of setback but
then by fresh moderate upturn.
Wheat Advances
New advances in the price of wheat
resulted from the senate vote favorable
to a quotation of 81 at primary cen.
ters and from the bearish crop outlook
in North Dakota and Canada. After
opening l cent to IA cent higher. at
2.56, July and 2.29. Sept, the market
scored further gains.
The fact that the decrease in the
United States visible supply total was
small did not lead to any important
bearish reaction. The close was un-
settled, 3 S-4 to &c net higher, with
July at 1853, and September at 2.31 1.2.
Oats on Up-Grade
Heavy rains that interfered with har.
vesting carried the oats market upl
grade. There was much talk of pro-
spective abnormally large substitution
of oats for corn.
Provisions are Higher
Higher quotations on hogs lifted pro-
visions Arrivals of hogs al western
points were far less numerous than on |
the corresponding day last week.

Luy that many and if the farmers real
iZe any profit from this years crop they

at the Provence school house. All far.
mers interested are asked to be present
and help form the organization. There
are many points in Oklahoma which
