PRICE ADVANCES
RECEIVE A CHECK

Chicago. June 7.-Notwithstanding
that the corn market continued today
to show remarkable activity, sensa-
tional advances in price received a
decided check. Prospects Of warmer
weather and Of consequent better field
conditions for the growing crops did
q good deal to ease down values. The
close vas heavy at the same as yes-
terday's finish to SC lower. with july
at $1.53 Ia to $1.65 1-2. and Septem-
Der $1.42 ga to $1.48. Wheat closed
unsettled. at a half cent net decline to
&c advance, with July at 32.22 l-2,
and September $1.95. Oats lost rs
to l 1-Sc. The outcome in provisions
ranged from &c OF to a rise of Z l-2c.
Talk Of chances that the govern
ment crop report tomorrow would
prove bearish counted against the
buying side Of the wheat market.
General expectation was that the win
ter yield would be estimated at about
100000 bushels.
Oats sagged owing largely to pre-
dtctions that the government report
tomorrow would be bearish regarding
oats as we'll ~ wheat.
P%rovisions were quiet ana irresu-

QUIT OFFICE
Western League has Presi-
dental Crisis-Magnates
May Cut Salaries.

st. Joseph. Mo-. June s.-A special
meeting Of the Western league will be
held here at which much important
business is scheduled to be discussed.
The most important matter to come
up, according to the advance infor-
nation. is that President F. c. Zeh-
rung will place his resignation in the
hands Of the owners and that q sue
cessor will be chosen at today's meet-
ing. Tip O'Neil. former president Of
the league, is prominently mentioned
for the place.
Another matter to come up for con-
sideration is the adjustment of the
rule requiring each club to carry six
young players. 1t is said that the
playing season will not be shortened
on account of the national situation.
although it 10 considered probable
that questions Of retrenchment will
come before the meeting.
These involve reducing the salaries
Of players, who are receiving larger
stipends than the clubs can afford
under present conditions.
Nearly every club in the league
has lost thousands Of dollars and sew
eral club owners favor a policy Of
drastic retrenchment.

Business Men Help.

That there is q serious shortage Of
labor in the Red River valley this
season. is shown in the report of
Chief of Police Albert Hurst for the
month of May, when only one vagrant
arrested In this city.
During other seasons, while the

Farmers in the city declare that
they have put in an increased acreage
of grain this season with half the
help of other years. Many Of them
have planted entire quarter and half
sections with the help only Of their
own families.

help for the harvesting Of the crops
is being made at the present time,
and II necessary, business men in
East Grand Forks will don overalls
and harvest the crops. This action was
decided on several weeks ago. when

Side!
MOISTURE; IS
BADLY NEEDED
IN The. VALLEY
Late Grains Have Been
Blighted by Lack Of Rain,
Declare Farmers.

With over a month passed, and less
than half an inch of rainfall during
that time, crops in the Red river val
ley are badly In need of moisture.
According to local realty men. who
have made trips to various sections
OF the county during the past few
days, much Of the grain sown late has
not even put in IN appearance above
the ground. Other, already up, is be-
ginning to turn yellow and wither in
spots.
Fall Plowed Land Best.
In the vicinity Of Fisher, whore
much Of the. grain was sown early on
fall plowed land, the crops have re-
ceived but little setback because OF
the lack of moisture. Similar condi-
tons also affect Minnesota Point and
other places in the vicinity Of East
Grand Forks. In many places. how
ever. whore the land was plowed this
spring, the ground 10 still bare of
grain.
Corn and late grains are more At
fected by the drought than potatoes.
although their growth lie being rstard-
ed greatly by the lack Of rain.
Danger of Failure.
Unless moisture is forthcoming
very soon. according to farmers In the
city, the corn and wheat crop Of the
Red river valley, is due to failure,
which at this time when increased
production Is required. would be
a disaster.

DEVELOPMENT OF
OLYMPIC SYSTEM
IS NOW PLANNED
First Fatality to Take Place
in Australian Prize Ring
Was Recently Reported.

Now York. June s--A broad develop
ment Of the present Olympic training
system now in vogue in Sweden Is
planned for the coming summer. Dur
Ing the past few years Coach Ernie
H5ertbsrg has carried most OF the
work upon his own shoulders u as
the popularity Of track and field ath-
letics increased 1t was seen that the
task was rapidly outstripping the ca
pacity of the original coaching staff.
Until recently Hjertberg has had
but two assistants and it was impos-
sible for them to v Sweden thor
oughly and give the Swedes the bene-
ut Of steady coaching all summer.
Hjertbsrg was compelled to travel
that many cities had to content them
selves with one or two weeks instruc-
ton during the whole season, and
several promising towns. for lack of
time, were neglected altogether. In
an effort to remove this handicap the
Swedish A. A. U. made plans to install
ten coaches. with Hjertberg as in
structor and supervisor OF their work.
Coaches Arc Experienced.
These coaches. who were selected
by the 8. A. A. u, are all men who
However, practical experience in ath-
letics was naturally MT deemed sum-
Gent in order to qualify as a coach
and It was therefore decided that they
should receive a special course Of in
%struction. This curse covers all
branches necessary for the making of
a successful coach, and includes:
Practical and theoretical coaching,
training, first aid to the injured and
hygienie. BENEFITS Of light gymnastic
exercises, massage. how to lay out
athletic fields and tracks and the care
Of same. and the organizing Of clubs.
This teaching Of tho mon in the
organizing Of clubs and the general
methods used for this purpose is done
with the thought that these coaches,
who are to serve as members Of the
district organization in. which they be-
long. will be in a position to advise
and help in the formation of new
clubs in their respective districts.
When these men have completed this
course and are deemed competent to
handle the work intended for them.
they will be rent to the different dis
tricts and each coach will have charge
Of the athletes instruction In his dis
trict, under the supervision Of Hjert-
berg.
