The advance on the stock market was
continued with a rise in shares of al

semi-war issues. Gains in these stocks.
which embraced the better known
equipments and munitions, shippings
and petroleums, metal, leather, sugar
and paper issues, as well as motors,
ranged from TO points, with only
slight recessions on proft-taking at the
close.
Trading was broader and more diver
sifed than in the depressed periods Of
the preceding week. The rise was once
more attributed to events of the last
few days, which were interpreted as
offering little hope for the success Of
the peace negotiations.
To a considerable extent, the upward
movement was propelled by heavy short
covering. Another factor was the
change in Mexican affairs, this being
most evident in the activity and
strength of Mexican Petroleum and
American Smelling.
United States Steel re-"st tlished It's

gain Of SIS points at 1l6. Dealings in
Steel appropriated $4,000 shares, or
about 80 per cent of the whole.
Rails were relatively inactive, with
moro strength in seasoned shares than
in low-priced issues. This irregularity
was again traceable to statements OF
November earnings, some showing
marked recessions in net returns.

sciousness. Most of willing to pay round prices long reasonably that they are legitimate and fair, all things considered
 But the injection of exorbitant prices into the prices of foodstuffs and fuel the prime necessities, is bound to raise general ire, put mildly One hears for example, of potatoes by the carload in eastern cities allowed to stand sdetracks and accumulate heavy demurrage while their wait for higher prices
 We hear of miles of coal in the Chicago yards and in the freight yards of other cities waiting for higher prices before the unloaded When for another advance
 Are these things true? And if true, they de- fensble on any ground whatsoever?

withdrawn. It is also true that home stead entries may be on certain lands withdrawn for special purposes as we shall see.
 The ordinary homestead may be made for not exceeding 160 acres. while other homesteads are limited according to the withdrawals In the
 Ie. wn.sh will appear in The Republican of next Saturday (July IA we shall discuss the different entries and how they are made.
 Answers to Questions
 s. K-An applicant to make d des- ert land entry must be a resident in good faith of the state wherein tho land applied for is located.
 R. W.-No extension of time is all lowed to make annual proof on a desert land entry. A desert land entry man must show that he has a suffi- cient supply of water to irrigate all of the irrigable land embraced in his desert land entry.
 F G.-Your question was answered in the issue of last Saturday June 30). A desert land entryman does nol secure any special rights as a result of his service in army or navy of the United States. The length of a persons residence in the state does not affect his right to make desert land entry.

A Wheat Kernel

German philosopher, with the patience and thoroughness of his and profession and with lofty conception of the importance and productivity of the worlds most royalcereal, has figured how single kernel of wheat in twelve generations could feed the who,e world The figures large and need not be memorized but the conclusions reached interesting and vivid This is the process of pro- fessor's unique reasoning: One grain of wheat will produce fifty grains. and each of these will produce fifty grains so that in the second year there would be 2.50O grains and in the third year 125 900 grains This would be enough to give 300 meal or 300 meals, besides leaving enough bran to feed eight pigs for day pig for eight days. By the sixth year the single grain of wheat would have produced O9O grains and by twelfth year, PA, 140 625 900 900. This quantity suffice only supply all the inhabitants of the earth with one meal, the three meals for day-it would furnish them all with food during their whole lifetime,

IMMIGRANT MAKES s1o7,ooo IN YEAR

Life Insurance company tells in the July American Magazine of a wonderful man. He says
 Do you know that the biggest income made by New York Life in 1916 earned by an agent who came from German Poland to America in the steerage of an ocean lner-who arrived here friend less. penniless, and without working knowledge of the English language.
 Last year this made s107 900 in commits sons alone amount s32000 greater than the salary of the president of the United States When you slider that life insurance agents make less than sl.O00 year, you will what this immigrants achievement signifies
 Yet there is nothing surprising to me in this. Almost every man has undreamed of possibilities. If something hits him in the right spot if his ambitions and energies unloosed. he will quickly discover these possibilities. Otherwise he may pass through life in an easy ru never tapping the great within him.

MORAL TREASON ID
 CHAMPION CAUSE
 IF TIE GERMANS
TRepubican A. P. Leased Wire]


 FOREST HILLS. L. l.. July 6.-De- claring that those in America who champion Germany's cause against the cause of America are guilty of moral treason. and are in fact. although not in law. moral traitors, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, in a Fourth of July address here today, pleaded for single stand ard of patriotism and loyalty.
 We are now at war with Germany, he said. For over two years Germany has heaped insult upon insult, injury upor injury, on our people.
 Now we are at war with Germany, yet many persons supported. of course. by professional pacifists, continue 70 champion Germany's cause as against tts cause for which we are fighting. This is a moral treason to the republic. and all who engage in it are in fact. although not in law, traitors, who have no right longer to be treated as Amer ican citizens.
 There can be no half attitude in this war, and no honorable man can afford to take such an attitude We are bound by every consideration or loyalty to our allies. and any opposi- tion to them, or any aid given to their and our enemy, is basely dishonorable as regards our allies, and reasonable as regards our own country.
 Col Roosevelt said that the claim that it was natural for American citizens of German origin to favor Germany was nonsense, and criminal nonsense to boot and added, either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all. It IS both weak and wicked to permit any of our citizens to hold dual or dividend ,I,ia just as American, to discriminate against any good American because of his birth place, creed or parentage Elaborating on that point and pro- testing against the plan to exclude from American Red Cross units Amer jeans of Germans or Austrian parent age or descent. Col. Roosevelt said that l if he had been permitted to raise mil ! itary force for service in France many | of his officers would have been choser from among men of German percentage who were undoubted Americans.
