WAGNER,s MARKET REPORT.
From Private Wire Of &. w. Wagner &
Co.. Over "a East Main; Phens 1919.

NUN GRAlS LIE II En-.
The oats market has occupied the
center Of the stage today. Trading in
corn has been relatively light, and the
market has followed in the wake Of
oats Shorts have covered extensively
in oats and country offerings continue
compa ratively small. A good demand
readily absorbs arrivals at term IA!
markets This is being done at ad-
vancing prices. Some buying has been
induced by reports Of crop damage in
the northwest. The relative cheapness
OF oats. as compared with other grains
also is attracting attention.
There was further liquidation in
provisions early, led by selling Of Sep
TENDER lard. Later in the day the
market was found bare Of offerings
and was bid up quickly on the buying
of a limited amount Of September lard.
Peace rumors seem TO have little ef-
feet In the Chicago markets, altho
New York was commenting on pro-
posal in the reichstag for peace with
ont annexation or indemnities.

Opening prices, which ranged from Is

material further gains.
Later the market underwent sag,
but quickly rallied. The transient set
back was due to the news OF the reich

and because of the German chancellor
announcement OF readiness for peace.

ROLL THE BONES"
 IN THE COURTHOUSE

The Star City Ledger of this week contains the following:
 Hast Sunday thirteen young men and boys were arrested by Sheriff Me Graw They were caught rod-handed by that official playing craps in the court room of the court house. Mon day they faced Squire G, M. Ford, who assessed fine of S15 against twelve, one proving that he was an onlooker only.
 But on account oi their parents and at the request of the offenders themselves. we forbear giving their names. It is not the object of the Ledger to iniure any one We be- lieve in the gr eat brotherhood of man, and what we've said regarding the non-observance and non-enforcement of law was said with the best inten- tions and without one trace of per sonal feeling. But we want to say to these young men and all other viola tors of law that our most desperate outlaws in the beginning of their ca reer did not intend to be so bad, but sin so blinded their conception of the future that they were led from bad to worse We do not believe that our young people would indulge further if they could realize that some of the practices that they are inludging in are leading them farther and farther away from the church and God. And We would admonish them to call a halt ! ere it is everlastingly too late"

Preserving Flowers.

A method of preserving the natu- ral colors of flowers consists in dust ing saI;cyllc acid on the plants as they lie in the press and removing 1t with q brush when the flowers are quite dry. Red colors in particular are well preserved by this agent. Another meth od of applying the same preservative is to use a solution of one part of salicylic in fourteen of alcohol by means of blotting-paper or cotton wool soaked in it and placed above and below the flowers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly as good results.

Hard to Think of Words.

Inability to choose the right word often places a speaker in an embar- rassing position. Many business men lose much valuable time because they find it difficult to express what they want to say when they dictate their correspondence. Greater freedom and accuracy in speaking and writing can be acquired by studying a dictionary. A few minutes devoted to the study of words and their meaning each day will in q short time result in great benefit to anyone who will put that practice to Il test.

FOR BINDING SPRAINED ANKLE
Some Simple Directions That Will Be
Found Useful In Case Of
Accident.

Take strip Of adhesive plaster
about two inches wide and twelve
inches long. Starting about the lower
third of the leg, bring 1t down under
the arch Of the foot and up the OppO-
site side of the ankle, drawing 1t
tightly under the arch. overlap this
about one-half inch with another
piece the same width and length.
Then, using one-inch-wide adhesive,
start from the heel and apply short
strips, each one overlapping the other
by about one-half inch, to meet and
overlap the broad strip on both sides,
running these strips up as far as the
lower third of the leg. Over these mar
row strips apply two-inch strips of
the same length, starting from the
same point and running up the same
distance, each one overlapping the
other. Then draw couple of short,
wide strips tightly under the arch, and
narrow strip under the sole of the
foot and up the course of the tendon

When You Thread a Needle.

You may deny that your eyesight Is
failing or not so good as II should be,
but when 1t comes to Notwithstanding
you are given away. Don't try to fool
yourself and waste precious minutes
thrusting refractory thread into a
needle-eye which you do not see. DO
1t this way:
Thrust the needle through piece of
cardboard or stiff paper just as far
as the eye. The paper holds the needle
securely and throws the eye into re-
lief.
Another method that will help one
out of the difficulty Is this: Some day
when the light is good, thread whole
package of needles upon spool of
thread. Then instead Of poking over
one needle ut time, while you are
sewing all you have to do Is to break
off a needle and thread until the whole
pack has been used.
There Is contrlvance now on the
market consisting of a small magnify
ing glass, which fastens on the spool
and magnifies the needle-eye.
