City Bard OF Health Recommends
That County Commissioners Ac.
ttpt O6cr or Mr.. III. j. HARDY.

A meeting Of the City Board OF
Health was held last night with all
members present. except Mr.. Glenn
Several matters were taken up and
discussed. bit the principal discussion
conferred around the acceptance by the
County Board OF Commissioners OF
the offer of Mr.. Fl. j. Hardy in. re-
gard to the establishment of a tuber-
cular camp for this county. including
the city of Sumter.
The Board decided to recommend
to the County Board that they accept
this offer and to the City Council that
they do all In their power to secure
this camp for the county. DR.. Hol-
man. one of the members OF the City
Board Of Health, offered to donate
enough lumber to erect one of the
shacks to be used at the proposed
camp and suggested that campaign
be carried on in order to get the sem
timent OF our people aroused in ia
vor of this camp and to see IL others
will not give something toward the
erection Of tho needed buildings or en-
dow a bed.
Health officer McKagen states that
there Is a great need Of this camp
and thinks that possibly some aid can
be secured from the State authorities
IL the citizens of Sumter show enough

MAXIMUM PRICE FOR CORN.
Chicago Board Directors Set S1.28 as
Top for December and May Con-
tracts.

Chicago, July 11.-Directors of the
Chicago Board of Trade this after
noon fixed a maximum price Of $1.2S
a bushel for the December and May
G91S) deliveries of corn. No action
was taken on September corn.
A meeting that lasted three hours
behind closed doors preceded the ac-
ton Of the directors. After adjourn
ment formal notice was given out
telling Of the course adopted but no
explanation was offered. According
to an official of the board the estab-
lishment Of the new maximum price
for the December delivery and for
all later options was needed to bring
trading conditions into harmony
with the government war policy Of
preventing undue speculation and un-
warranted high cost to consumers.
In taking such measure the, direc-
tors were said to feel that more dras-
tic steps were averted, including the
possible closing Of the Board o.
Trade.
Only three options of the new 1917
crop were dealt with in today's action
of the Chicago Board of Trade direc-
tors. A maximum of $1.65 for the
September delivery here and for all
other old crop futures was already i'm
effect, and was not disturbed as the
value Of old crop for immediate de-
livery was now much in excess o.
that limit and had today touched the
highest figures ever known for Chi
