GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, June 22.-Bullish construc- tions put on the Kansas crop report helped to strengthen wheat prices today. and so did reports that arrangements had been completed to increase commer- cial vessel tonnage available for ship ments to Europe. The market closed strong. 519a7c net higher, with July at 2.l0c and September at 1s4c. Other com- modities. too, scored gains-corn, 2a4l1c, oats, ss@24c to 1@sc, and provisions, 5G6Oc.
 Throughout the session wheat almost constantly had a decided upward slant. The July option in particular showed buoyancy, although demand for July and for other months as well was mentioned as one of the main sources of the expan- sion of vessel tonnage which was looked for. The chief bullish aspect of the Kansas crop report was the fact that notwithstanding an estimated production of 100000 bushels more than the May forecast, the 1917 crop of the state would still be 5S per cent below the output last year. and would stand as the smallest since 1896.
 Persistent buying of corn for export a relatively high premiums gave a big lift to the corn market as a whole, Scarcity of supplies for immediate ship ment was much emphasized In addi- ton, the bears were handicapped by prospects of rain, whereas sunshine and warmth appeared to be greatly needed.
 Oats hardened with corn. Buying on the part of houses with seaboard con- nections more than offset favorable crop reports.

THE Y. w. c. A. HOSTESS HOUSE.
What is a hostess house and why
has Sec'y of War Baker asked the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton to build, equip and conduct
hostess houses in the various
camps? The work is not limited
to the use of Y. w. c. A. members
but a hostess house is a place built
for the convenience and care Of all
women who go to visit their men in
the camps. The women are there
and need TO be there and must be
taken care Of.
A son writes his mother he has
been ordered to France; he cannot
go home TO say goodbye, 50 his
mother goes to him. a young wife;
left to care for the little folks and
TO attend TO business affairs, must
see her husband TO receive advice.
A young girl who has pledged her
faith to her soldier lover knows that
he will go into trench work with
a brave and courageous heart II she
can see him once more and will be
ready To keep her promise on his
return. These women cannot stand
out in the storm and cold for these
last talks The barracks are for
men only, no women may enter; the
Y. VI. c. A. houses are for men and
are crowded. Where then shall these
women go?
The great need for a hostess
house was soon felt and the first one
was erected at Plattsburg, through
the generous gift of $4,000 made by
Mrs. Frank Z. Davis.
They are not all built alike, but
are similar in plan. There is a large
reception room, with a generous fire
place, easy chairs, table writing
desks, newspaper and magazine
stands. The furnishings are similar
20 those of a comfortable living
room. There is sometimes a cafe
terra, always a dining room and
kitchen. sometimes a few sleeping
rooms above and a bath. There are
many women stenographers employ
ed in camp-where can they eat
their noon time lunches unless at
the hostess houses These houses
are only built by request Of the com
handing officer. Six are now built
and occupied. Twenty-siX are in
process Of erection and many more
have been asked for.
