MAXIMUM ON
CORN MAY Be
CHANGED SOON
Prices Affected by Action Of
Chicago Board Of
Trade.

Chicago, Sept. Acknowledge that
the directors of the Chicago board of
trade would tomorrow set a date for
a conference with other exchanges
relative to a possible removal Of max
imum prices on corn had considerable
to do with a sharp advance which took
place today in the corn market. Quo
tations closed strong at the topmost
point reached with net gains of 2 5-8
to Q 7-8 cents. Oats finished Id q
3-8 to Q cents up, and provisions at
la rise OF 20 to 80 cents.
The chief factor at first in the corn
pttAwas a prospect Of unwelcome
showers and of colder weather, condi-
tions distinctly adverse to the speedy
maturing of the crop. Besides, re-
ports were circulated that recent dam
age by frost in northern Illinois, In
diana and Ohio, was more serious than
has generally been supposed. I'm
usual lightness of offerings tended
further to incite buyers, and then
gradually attention focused on
chances of the present high limit on
prices being altered oon
Oats reflected the strength Of corn.
Demand for immediate delivery was
brisk, especially on the part of houses
with eastern connections.
Provisions scared to new high price
records, and closed at virtually 1.-The
[topmost point OF the day. The prin-
|cipal impetus came from hog scarcity,
big shipments of meats, advances at
Liverpool and the bulge in corn. :

HIDES: The hide market has suf-
fered a severe slump and prices are
quoted from 3 to 4c per pound lower.
Our prices herewith are nominal and
may be too high. The cause Of the

Why the Future of the Art of Dancing Belongs America

tributed Volume Ten. which is devoted TO and
bears the title Of The Dance"
In this volume, which is in many respects the
most complete. interesting and useful work
the subject thus far published in the English
language Mr.. Narodny declares. and gives his
reasons for believing, that the future Of the art
OF dancing belongs 10 America. His argument
rests upon a mastery analysis of the progress
OF the art in all countries from the earliest
times. With a captivating wealth OF detail he
familiarizes the reader with national charac-
teristics exhibited in dancing and music and
describes and compares the influences exerted
by the great personalities involved and other
influences which from one period 10 another
served 10 restrict or 70 enhance the funda-
mental beauty and dignity OF those arts
He writes: The future OF the art OF dancing
belongs TO America, the country OF the cosmic
ideals The past belongs 10 the aristo-
cratic ideals, in och the Russian ballet
reached the climax. .he French were the
founders Of aTistocratic choreography: the Rus
SLAMS transformed IL into an artistocratic dra-
matte art: TO the American belongs the attempt

MRS. C. J. DAHL IS
 SUPPOSED TO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE
(Juneau Empire)

Word was received in Juneau yes tarday of the disappearance and prob able death of Mrs. G. J. Dahl, at Spuhn island, one day early last week The word was brought to town by MT. Dahl who stated to Commissioner Burton that he feared his wife has committed suicide.
 MT. and Mrs. Dahl were married q little over year ago in Juneau and last October a son was born at one of the local hospitals. Shortly before the arrival of the baby, Mrs. Dahl be- gan worrying for fear she would die before the baby was born, and it prey ed on her mind to such an extent that she became mildly insane.
 MT. Dahl stated that since return ing to their home on the Island, Mrs. Dahl has been suffering from a fear of death and even became so despond- ent that she threatened to tie a rock on her neck and jump into the bay. Recently, MT Dahl missed his wife and on going to the beach saw his boat floating a short distance out in the bay. He investigated and found that the dory had been taken from the beach and rowed out into the bay and that before leaving the shore several good sized rocks had been carried ant placed in the boat. Some of the rocks were missing from the boat. He came to the conclusion that his wife had car ried out her threat.

ASSISTANCE OF KIND
 WELCOME TO ALLIES

LONDON,-The Times commenting on the prospects of the United States entering the war, says, regarding report that has been received here that any American action is likely to be confined to the protection of Anne erican and neutral interests on the seas and to assisting commercially and financially the Entente Allies:
 If we may say so without the slight est suggestion of indiscretion we have no doubt that it is help of this kind which would be most useful and most welcome to the Allies. We should re- joice to see American armies fighting alongside our troops in vindication of righteousness and humanity but we agree with the President and the Am erican press that such aid, although invaluable, would be necessarily delay cd beyond the date at which we hope victory will be placed beyond doubt. !"
 The Morning Post expresses the hope that whatever action the United States may take, 1t will include the placing in the United States prize courts of all German shipping interned there The newspaper doubts whether he United States, once in the war, could long maintain the distinction be- tween restricted warfare and a full offensive. It contends that the sea is an essential factor in Americas problem and urges that the sole spec fife for the submarine menace is to defeat Germany's main fighting forces and control her naval bases. The Morning Post remarks in this respect that the assumption that the Teuton- ic fleet can not be destroyed as long as it remains in port, has not yet been proved and speculates whether it is impossible to devise a method for reaching German ships in port.
 We commend this suggestion to the inventive genius of America" says the newspaper, which adds:
 If America will bear her part in exterminating the submarine, she will confer the greatest and most endur- ing benefit on humanity"
