FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS ACTIVE.
Because of the Removal of Some of the
 Uncertainties in the Foreign Situation.

New York, May 17-On transactions slightly in excess of 100000 shares, today's market supplemented for the most part it's gains of the previous session. Removal of some of the un- certainties in the foreign situation and further indications of the assured sue cess of the governments bond offering constituted the chief moving factors.
 Speculative interest, with a sprsnk- ling of public inquiry, centered largely around steel and iron industrials, es peciaIly those issues related to the equipment and munition group. U. $. SteepS high quotation of the day 122 5-S-represented-a a new record for the year. Part of this gain was can celled in the more insistent selling for profits of the last hour. Foremost specialties were Lackawanna, Superior and Gulf States Stee.s, at gross ad vances of 3 to 5 points. New York Air Brake added 6 points to yester days substantial rise at 14S. Harvester Corporation, Westinghouse and Colo rado Fuel were higher by to 3 points at best quotations. but fell back in common with the general list.
 Coppers were apathetic until the final hour. when they came into brisk action on reports of the consummation of large government contract. Ship pings were among the most prominent shares, their strength probably result ing from the arrival of an American naval force in British waters.
 Rails failed to record more than moderate advances, though more act i've than recently. Advices from mid dle western and northwestern points which reported promising crop condi- tions, accounted for the better tenden- cy shown by grangers.
 Heaviness which at times verged upon weakness was denoted by the motors, sugars and minor rails. Lake Erie and Western preferred lost 5 points at 30 and Cuban American Su- gar at 190.
 Russian exchange reacted moderate ly from yesterdays recovery a simi- lar trend being shown by the bonds oE that country.
 The general bond market was ir- regular on lighter offerings. Total sales (par value) aggregated s2,S70 000
 United States government issues were unchanged on call.

EASTERN LEAGUE
MAJOR LEAGUE DOPE
Giants Lead Nationals in Spite of Few
 CT Runs or Hits Than Any Other Club.

An analysis of the records of the major league clubs for the first month of the season develops some exceed l. ingly interesting figures with a direct bearing upon the standing of the teams. In the National league, the New York club, which led in the pen nant race on May II, one month after the opening of the struggle, while not first in either hits or runs, had made fewer errors, had fewer men left on bas ses and held their opponents to a lower number of runs than any of the other clubs.
 The Chicago Cubs made the great est number of hits and runs but errors, players left on bases and heavy SCOT ing by opponents offset this advan- taSe to some extent. Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston, Cincinnati and Pitts burg avera ged fairly well but Brook iyn was shown to be decidedly weak 1 i hitting and run making well as on the defensive side of the game.
 The Boston Red SoX played a fast well-balanced game in the American League, being first in runs, tied for fourth in hitting, next to lowest in err TOT making while having fewer left on bases and holding opponents to the lowest number of runs of any club in the junior league. The New York players were weak in both hits and runs but played an excellent defen- sive game with the result that they earned second place in the pennant race As is the case in the National League the other clubs average up well in two sharply defined groups

INTER-LEACUE SERIES CALLED OFF
American Association and League Will Not Play Games Owing to Unsettled War Conditions ns-President Barrows Claims No Action Has Been Taken.

Chicago. May T.-The inter-league series of 4s games between clubs of the American association and 1nterna- tional league scheduled to start early in August, was called off here tonight owing to unsettled conditions caused by the war.
 President Edward G. Barrow of the International league declared tonight that any announcement of the inter league series with the American asso- citation having been called off was pre- mature to say the least. No such step could be taken, he said, without the consent of the International league. and he denied that the organization he heads had been approached on the subject.
 MT. Barrow said he had been in con- ference during the day with President Hickey of the American association, but that the latter had said nothing to him about abandoning the inter league games.
 President Hickey of the American association, in making the announce ment said the association will play two championship schedules instead of meeting the International league clubs in the post-season series. The sched two winning clubs will meet in a seven game series to decide the champion ship of the association.
 "In a conference with President Bar row of the International league in New York we both agreed that it would be a mistake to play the series this sea son owing to the unsettled conditions existing" President Hickey said T believe that it is for the best inter ests of baseball that the series be post poned and I am advising MT. Barrow to this effect"

WOMEN SUFFERERS
 NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be Respondent and irritable.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, a physicians prescription, obtained at any drug store, restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy needed to over come such conditions.
 Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to pr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghanton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Norwich Daily Bulletin.

To the Farmers of South and North Dakota:

States and today they discontinued the
practice of taking back unsold bread
from he retailer. Grocers will buy
their bread as they buy everything
else on their shelves and will sell it
as merchandise and not as something
taken on approval.
II am sure the bakers of North
Dakota are patriotic and p eciate
the need OF cooperation with the
government" says H. K. Giest, local
chairman, acting under appointment
Of the War Emergency Committee of
the Baking Industry. II am con-
yinced that h change will be for the
best interests of all concerned and
I'M anxious that the consuming pub
lie shall understand hat this is a
patriotic service we are rendering the
government, as a part Of the neces-
sary war program"
Mr.. Geist has received word from
Cincinnati, Omaha and other cities
where the reform was instituted sew
eral weeks ago and in each instance
the change has been made without
trouble and without loss to the baker
or the grocer. In some instances in
creases are reported, due to a new
tendency Of housewives to buy in
stead of bake their bread.
It Is estimated by baking authorities
that the elimination of this waste will
result in the saving Of from 12,000.-
600 to $20,000,000 a year. Mr.. Hoov-
er recently made the statement that
the bakers were moving more rapid
ly than any other industry to comply
with the requests made Of them.
Their cooperation, he says, makes IT
extremely unlikely that it will be lei
essary to bake the grey or ~so-called
war bread" which is being eaten in
Europe,

ASKS FARMERS OF STATE
TO RATIFY HIS PACT WITH ]. W. W.
WHAT THE AGREEMENT CONTAINS

and the authorities of Arizona are ter
rorized by the threats Of violence;
there is the threat of sabotage as a
weapon against the farmers who re-
fuse to accede to the demands Of the
1. w. W.. who come to the state, and
sabotage means the deliberate de-
.struction or Gripping of farm ma
chinery as a means Of forcing farm
owners to abide by their demands.
What Will They Demand.
Who can be certain what the de-
mands of the I. w. w. will be once
they get control of the fields of the
state in force? Mr.. Townley himself
said in his Grand Forks talk that
who were criminals who deserved the
full extent of the law, men who were
beyond the control of their own lead
ers-and yet he cannot assure the
people Of the state hat these men
will not be members of the army he
proposes to bring into the state after
the last remaining element of protec-
ton a been removed-the National
Guard of the state.
The Agreement.
The agreement that Mr.. Townley is
asking the farmers of the state to
ratify in meetings that will be held
on successive Gays at MlnOC, valley
City, Bismarck, Devils Lake and Far
go was announced unoff1cially to be as
follows:
An S-hour day.
A 81 minimum wage.
A closed shop, meaning that farm
ers may not employ their own sons or
other Independent workers not afali-
ated with Townley's union.
Time and a-half for each hours
work performed over the standard
day.
Double time for work on Sundays
holidays.
All disputes to be referred to the
union for settlement.
The farmer to be bound strictly by
union rules as to tools, n in
which labor shall be performed, min
imum number of men to constitute a
crew and so forth.
Whether this agreement is"as re-
ported there can be no doubt of the
authenticity of the following circular,
which ome from headquarters and
should be interesting reading for the
farmers of the state:
