CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Prediction of Heavy Increase in Export
Wheat Sends Prices Down Again.

Chicago June 1S.-Wheat dropped de-
cidedly In value today, influenced to a
considerable extent by estimates that
North America and Argentina would have
exportable surplus this season as compared
with last year. The market closed heavy
10% 610Ac net lower. with July at s21Ih
and September at $1.s5. Corn lost 192Hc
and oats, T@1Sc. Provisions finished ir-
regular. ~ @20c off to zoe advance.
The fact that new wheat had reached
St. Louis and that harvesting was ex-
pected to begin in Kansas within ten days
or fortnight seemed to offset completely
a big falling off in the United States visi-
BILE supply total.
Drouth reports from Texas and else
where southwest together with persistent
buying of old crop deliveries for seaboard
account led to a transient bulge in the
corn market. Favorable weather, however,
in the chief producing region led after
ward to reaction in prices, especially for
the more distant futures Oats were swayed
by the action of corn, Much interest was
taken, though, in the announcement that
for the first time this season the domestic
visible supply Of oats had fallen below
the aggregate for the corresponding time
In 1916
Selling out by recent purchasers Of lard
and ribs burdened the provisions market.
Pork rose in sympathy with higher quota
tions on hogs.

Sheep--An Unexpectedly large run In Chi
cago this morning and the fact that an
easier trend to prices there was predicted
in early wires, failed to check the local
lamb advance. Supplies were very light to
begin with, and actual offerings were still
light, four cars being consigned direct to
a packer. This left only eight loads on
sale and packers cleaned them up In good
season at prices that were anyway 25c
higher and looked as much as soc up In
one or two instances.
The story was easily told, Five cars Of
CALIFORNIA; were offered. Two Of these.
the best, brought s1776, with fifty out at
$500. Packers took a two-load top out
were conspicuous by their absence. Three
cars Of clipped lambs none of which were
toppy, sold to 3l5509l6.60, and Judging
by the way these sold something real de-
sirable Is safely quotable to $lb.7b, and
real high dressing kind might beat that.
No old sheep were included in the re-
ceipts, and the trade on mature stock was
nominally quoted stronger.
Total offerings were only twelve cars. or
about 5000 head, and, as noted, four loads
of these were consigned direct to a packer,
cutting actual offerings to eight cars To-
days run 10 slightly larger than last Mon
days, but is only half as large as two weeks
ago, and is less than q third the size Of the
supply a year ago.

The supreme court of Louisiana has
recently made a decision which may be
of more than passing interest to young
doctors. The case was one in which
a young physician who had been a
friend of the testatrix sued the estate
for $1,000 for services. The trial judge
allowed only $262 of this claim, giving
the opinion that a young practitioner
had no right to charge or expect the
fees charged by older practitioners.
The supreme court, on the contrary,
held that the young physician fresh
from the schools, enlightened by re-
cent discoveries, is more competent to
deal with a case than a physician who
has the experience of a past genera
ton, and allowed the amount claimed,
$1,000.

A WISE ORDER.

Pretty much the whole country will
approve the order extending the list
of articles for which license will be
required for shipments abroad. The
new list includes cotton, which should
have been included from the first,
We are in this wal to win and one OF
our most effective weapons is the linn
itation of shipments of food-stuffs and
articles used in the manufacture of
munitions. So long as we are abso-
Iutely sure that none of these com
modities find their way from this
country to Germany, we are helping
to win the war. We delayed far too
long action in this respect.

NICKNAME NOT ESSENTIAL,

Efforts to apply some arbitrary nick
name to United States soldiers serv'
ing in Europe will be unavailing,
Nick-names of that sort are born, not
made. When some proper occasion
arises or when some popular name
shall be inadvertently suggested, the
nam will stick. The soldiers them
one else can make it for them. Whe.
Their they have a nickname or not,
they will give a good account of them
selves on the firing line or wherever
they may be.

Rights Of Nations Have
Taken the Place Of
the Rights Of
Kings

By Professor ROBERT M. M'ELROY,

WHEN it is considered that the
w citizenship of the United
States is made up of so many
different races it is indeed a fatter-
ing tribute to the strength of our
institutions to note the widespread
loyalty of the people.
In polyglot America during the
present crisis racial lines and tradi-
lions are set aside. Millions of poly
glot Americans stand ready to fight
for American ideals and are as loyal
as those PILGRIMS WHO CAME
TO THESE SHORES IN THE
MAYFLOWER.
The ideal pronounced by our pres
ident is higher han the law of any
constitution. For centuries the pro-
gressive nations of the earth stood
for the rights of man.
BUT AT PRESENT WE ARE PRO-
CLAIMING A HIGHER IoEAL-THE
RIGHTS OF NATIONS.
When the kaiser of all the Prus-
sianized Germans turned the pages
of history in August he found that
the rights of nations had taken the
place of the rights of kings.

Boston announces a new substitute.
People who call for fried scallops in
restaurants now often are served not
with shellfish, but with limitations cut
out of the meat of a sea skate with a
die, and SO closely resembling the real
thing, it is said, that when they are
cooked no one but experts a tell the
difference, says Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Is this a response to the recent cam
paign of government food authorities
in favor of the utilization of heretofore
unpopular varieties of sea food?

GOOD LOSERS.

From Atlantic City Union.
The towns folk of Pl~easantville
feel a bit disappointed today i've the
loss of the half million dollar State
normal school and it will be hard to
convince many that Glassboro, Glou-
cester county, is the better place after
all things are considered. The major
ity, however, find solace in the fact
that they asked for the normal school
on the superior advantage they
thought they could offer and without
the semblance of politics. That the
present Governor is a native of Pleas
antville was never mentioned in their
campaign to land the school.
Pleasantville waged a good fight for
the State Normal School and they are
accepting the decision of the State
Board of Education as good losers.
Gloucester county was selected as
a fifth reason because it is more of
an agricultural county than Atlantic.
1t is the thought of the directors of
education in New Jersey that the ru-
raj school study is essential and that
Gloucester offers this course. If the
Board needed merely to reach a de-
cision on the geographical center of
South Jersey then Pleasantville did
not have a chance. Glassboro may
also be in the centre of population,
but it is doubtful whether it could be
considered the centre of t%ransporta-
ton. Pleasantville offered strong ar
gument on this point.
The city across the meadows has
lost the South Jersey Normal School
after a fight that remains a credit to
It's citizens who have in the past de-
cade put their city IN the map as one
of the most progressive towns Ia
South jersey.
