ALL ROUND WORLD
Junior Chautauqua Plans
Elaborate This Summer.

The Junior Chautauqua. dressed in
the quaint costumes of the boys and
girls of strange lands. are actually go
ing to take trip around the world
in imagination. They will visit the
different foreign countries and play
the games. dance the folk dances, and
sing the songs of the children they
have wondered so much about.
Plans for the Junior Chautauqua,
which is to begin saturday in Mis-
soula, have been laid out on Il larger
scale than ever before and it is the
aim Of the management to make it
just as big an event for the young
folks as the regular programs are for
the grown ups. An experienced play
ground expert, Miss Georgia Latta. is
to take charge of the Junior Chau-
tauqua work. Miss Latta is specially
trained in THIS important branch of
Chautauqua work and thoroughly un-
derstands the art of making boys and
girls happy.
The ticket for the Junior Chautau-
qua is 81 and this ticket admits the
JUNO Chautauquans to all the other
programs of Chautauqua.

Chicago, July 31.-In a last of the
month squeeze today, shorts had to bid
July wheat up II cents bushel and
July oats up 11A. An even more acute
pinch in settling July corn contracts
was averted by recent action of the
board Of trade directors whereby all
fresh dealings in the July delivery
were forbidden. Corn closed nervous,
ished unsettled, varying from = cents
decline to IL cents advance. The out
! come in oats ranged from IA cent
setback to a gain Of 6k cents net.
Provisions showed rise Of IL to 81
cents, except July pork, which lost 20
cents.
Aside from the flurries which at
tended the windup of July contracts in
wheat and oats interest conferred in
free selling of new crop deliveries of
corn, due to favorable crop reports.
Demand for corn for immediate use,
especially by distillers, remained So
urgent, however, that cash corn and
the september option rose to new high
price records.
Tightness in the July wheat option
became pronounced in the last Is
minutes of the session. Gains were
scored which outdid the total advance
made in all the rest of the day put
/ together. Outstanding shorts had no
recourse left except to bid up prices,
as no wheat of contract grade re-
manned in storage here. Meanwhile,
however, the September delivery of
wheat had q continuous downward
bend owing to rains in the northwest.
A jump to the unprecedented price
of 80 cents a bushel was forced in the
July delivery of oats before the wants
of shorts were satisfied. Then the
market broke. Deferred options were
easy. All reports at hand told of OK
| cellent field conditions.
Active call for lard lifted the pro-
vision market quite sharply as a
whole.

TUNGSTEN FOUND ON Ship
THREE HELD FOR ATTEMPTED
SMUGGLING TO GERMANY.
Discovery Equivalent to Sinking
Ten German Submarines, Says
District Attorney.

New York, Oct. 12.-Arrest of three
men here on charges of attempting
to smuggle tungsten to Germany on
the Scandinavian steamer, United
States, was declared equivalent to the
sinking Of 10 German submarines by
Harold A. Content. assistant United
States district attorney.
One of the men arrested was Fritz
Oerundal, a steward or the United
States. Federal agents say they found
on him a brass check for a suitcase
which, when located. contained 40
pounds of tungsten, and that search
of the liner brought to light 100 pounds
more concealed under a stateroom
floor.
The other two men arrested were w.
j. Adams and Robert Collins, both
Swedes, partners here in a Swedish
bookstore. to which Oerundal made
many trips while under the surveil-
lance of government agents. When
| arraigned they were held in $2,500
bail, while Oerundal was held in 3d.
500.
The illicit export of the metal, pre-
sumably for Germany, has been go
| ing on for some time, the United
States attorney announced.

This law was passed in SeHtember.

provided that such employees should
receive the same pay for eight hours
work as they then we're receiving for
10 hours. which arrangement should
continue for a specified period, after
which q federal commission should
prescribe the rate of their pay.
The railroads refused to obey this
law when 1t took effect Jan. 1, 1917,

companies accepted the law in May
without waiting for decision from
the United States supreme court.
Shortly afterward the court rendered
