put POSTAL SERVICE ON HIGH
GEAR

TNHEsE times are too trying for the pub
l. lie to feel great interest in whatever
friction may exist between postal employees
and the Postmaster General. What does
concern the public. both us a matter OF
annoyance and Of utility, is the breakdown
of the postal system at this time. Naunted
efficiency seems to have been overwhelmed
In "a tidal wave of disorganization at the
first critical test. Letters are delayed and
newspapers and periodicals are delivered
long overdue. without any apparently
legitimate cause
Mails are important in wartmes of all
times. Business must rely more than ever
on the postal service for its quick and
effective conduct, with the restrictions on
passenger travel made necessary by the
war. The civilian and military bodies are
kept in touch through the mails hi n very
important sense since the manning of our
armies has called from civil pursuits hun
dreds of thousands of men. Without
proper mail facilities, families separated by
service and sacrifice become more widely
divided than before, and cruelty SO, by the
very lack of justified necessity. There is
no excuse for interruption Of the internal
communications of the United States, and
the fact of the interruption is blameworthy.
Mr.. Burleson and his force must postpone
gabbling about their differences and get
down to the brass tacks of real service.
Cooperation. not conflict, is the call upon
both. They must rivet up the loose joints
and tighten the postal machine to high
gear and smooth running.

he went TO see the woman to whom he was

murder was the situation which has been
outlined, the mood into which he. ignorant
and undiscplined, was thrown by his sur
rouudings and the unusual opportunity
given to him by a misery old man. Another
murder case interested me exceedingly
because of the closeness Of the legal ques-

with another Italian, a larger man, In the
course Of which his thumb was so badly
chewed that he was compelled to go to the
hospital. After he had been cured, one. day
he thrust into his 'ppcket long.bladed

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Strength developed

that the government crop report indi-
Gated g. smaller yield than the trade
had expected. 1t took but little buying
to bring about a rather sharp advance.
Offerings were comparatively scarce.
Initial quotations, which ranged from
unchanged figures to lis cents higher
with December at S1.17A and May at
Sl12A and s1.13S, were followed by
a material upturn all around.
The fact that fully 20 per cent OF
tha crop this year was shown TO have
failed of reaching full maturity and
that the quality of the crop as Whole
was the poorest on record did a good
deal to prevent any radical bearish re-
action. The close was unsettled. y to

Oats.
Oats sympathized with the corn
bulge. Rural offerings were light.
Provisions.
Huge shipments Of lard and meats
made the provision market ascend.
Higher prices on hogs counted also as
an element OF strength.
Prospects of larger receipts Of hogs
next week led to realizing sales and
to some pressure from packers during
the last half Of the day.

203 Masonic Temple: Phone 1881
Chicago. Nov. 9-Corn-The buying
of corn on the poor quality shown by
the government report advanced prices
sharply The close was around inside
figures for the day but at fractional
gains over last night. About zoo cars
new corn received at the principal
western markets and the grading was
very poor The bulk of the sales here
were from 20 cents to 81 per bushel,
one car selling at 80 cents. Old corn
was scarce and higher. The cash corn
situation is attracting consignments
from the new crop which farmers are
anxious to sell at prevailing prices
rather than to attempt to feed it. A
singular instance Of this effort to Sc
cure fancy prices is the shipping OF
corn to Chicago from Jacksonville, Fla,
a thing before unheard of. Pressure
OF this sort is likely to result as long
as high prices are maintained.
Oats-There was a good demand for
cash oats, which combined with the
strength in corn futures to make a
higher market. Country offerings were
somewhat increased but held for the
most part above the market The de-
rhand for cash oats IS attributed not
only to seaboard buying but to pur-
chases by the federal government. 1t
