SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City. Aug. 13.-Another
balloon ascension in the hog market
today carried values to new high
levels in trade history. A light run,
some inquiry from shippers. together
with bullish news from outside cen
ters, paved the way for a fresh adj
vance of fully a quarter. Top for the
day reached $16.75. while the bulk
of sales were at a spread of $4,000
$50. Prices are right at a 81 high
er than a week ago.
AS is usual on a Saturday. there
was but very few cattle on offer, and
prices in all branches were nominally
steady. Sharp advances were regis
tered this week in both killers and
~stockers, as a result of falling off in
supplies and favorable news from
outside centers.
Only a very meager supply of
sheep and lambs at hand for the
closing day. Market strong. Trend
to prices for the six-day period high
err, closing quotations cited as so a.
75c higher than at the close of the
previous week.

RED CROSS TO AID

Washington, Aug. IL. ~ While the

Of looking after dependents OF those

The Red Cross policy in such cases
was outlined in this statement by
Chairman Henry p. Dawson Of the
war council
obviously the task of providing for
financial assistance OF families OF our
soldiers and sailors is so large that
the government alone can assume it.
In no other way can the burden be
discharged fairly and as a matter Of
right, rather than charity.
mo voluntary organization or or
ganihatiOns could adequately cope with
a duty Of such magnitude.

The state officials will do their ut
most TO get the acreages expected OF

gram as originally worked out by the
federal department Of agriculture call
ed for somewhat more than 100000
acres to be sown this fall. When this
proposal was presented to the officials
Of the several states a further increase
was considered possible and desirable
by them. As a consequence the c

basis Of the average yield for the past
ten years, indicates a total production
OF 6T2.OOO,OO0 bushels, which exceeds

vested In the United States with the
exception of the crops of 1914 and 1915,
