FROST IN CORN BELT
SENDS PRICES UP
Still Selling 20 Per Cent Below the
Early Week Mark.

Chicago. Sept 15.-Corn prices fin
ished the week at an advance OF rs to
21-2c-. the greatest advance being
made on the deferred delivery. 1t was
a weather market and with frosts re-
ported over Sunday and Monday night
from the great part OF the corn belt.
bullish sentiment was in ascendancy
and prices had almost a continual ad-
vance. being checked only now and
then by realizing sales.
Under prevailing weather conditions
the growth will make much headway
and there is a greater possibility of
the crop escaping further frost dam
age, If present temperatures prevail
for another week or two.
The cash market was a weak one
and prices are more than 20 cents low
er than top price paid during the
early part OF the week. 1t has been
repeatedly stated that tho country was
bare of old corn, but this statement
was refuted during the past three or
four days as the interior was offer
ing old corn freely TO arrive snd this
was largely responsible for the break
in corn.
Most of the advances made in oats,
earlier in the week. were wiped out
on Saturday. There was big open
short interest in September when the
week stated. but most Of the shorts
had covered earlier in the week and
when longs attempted to take profit
they found few buyers on Saturday.
Last prices were a quarter of a cent
higher than the close the week be-
fore.
Provisions generally were higher
than the week before. The bull fea-
lures was the big purchases Of meats
and lard credited to the Belgian re-
lief commission and also good pur-
chases Of meats by the government

POTATO CROP
TO Fight HUN
Vrooman Says Farmer Must
Be Aided to Save
Surplus.

Americas potato crop will be vital
factor In winning the war. according
to Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Carl Vrooman-
The country will have at least 10o,-
o0e 900 bushels of potatoes in excess OF
the quantity needed to meet Its ordi-
nary needs. says Mr.. Vrooman. and
this surplus must be used in such
way that 1t can be made to release
products Of equal food value to our
army and the armies of our allies.
In order to properly accomplish this
work. Mr.. Vrooman declares potato
warehouses muse be made available in
every county in the United States. The
crop about to be harvested. 1t Is
stated. stated. will total 462.O0O.0OO
bushels. or almost 2O0.0O0O00 bushels
more than was produced last year.
This vast crop must be properly dis
tributed to help win the war. On this
point Mr.. Vrooman says:
TT cannot be made to do this un-
less Il is properly warehoused, unless
the warehouses are available and un-
less the farmers who have grown the
potatoes are enabled to make use Of
the warehouses. Unless those things
are done, the nation will have thrown
a victory away: will have committed
a military blunder just as inexcusable
as IL would be to shell the enemy out
Of a position OF tremendous strategic
importance and then fail to occupy
the ground gained. To do such thing
would constitute blunder as ire
parable as that the British commit
ted at Gallipoh when they could have
swept on to Constantinople and did
not
Community warehouses are Mr.
Vrooman's suggestion for meeting the
situation and he urges farmers asso-
Citations. bankers and merchants TO
cooperate to make the storing places
available.

War Conditions Fail
To Diminish Supply
Of Buckwheat Cakes

Buckwheat cakes, king of the
winter-time breakfast table, will
be one thing of which there will
be no shortage ION account of the
war;" as the Food Administration
has spread the good news that a
stack of wheats" will not be di-
minished, owing to a bumper crop
of this cereal.
Reports have been circulated that
the Canadian growing would be
cut down this year. but the latest
advices indicate that this was a
false alarm, and that the produc-
tion will be the greatest in recent
years
Mr.. Hoover recommends to the
people an increased use of buck
wheat, as it is very palatable and
ranks high as a substitute for the
white -four.

LESSON NO. 2S-WHY WE FIGHT.

Every American knows the causes
Of our war with the German govern
ment. Yet this course would be in
complete IL 1t did not contain a brief
review OF the events that finally forced
us into war. when at last there re-
mained no other means Of defending
our rights"
The resolution OF Congress declaring
state of war april s. 1910. expresses
the immediate cause in these few
words:
THE imperial German government
has committed repeated acts OF war
against the government and the people
of the United States of America"
German Aggressisns.
There were acts Of hostility in addi-
tion to the submarine warfare. In his
Flag Day address delivered at Wash
ington on June Il. 1917. the President
summed up the events that brought
on war as follows:
1T is plain enough how we were
forced into the war. The extraordi-
nary insults and aggressions of the
no self-respecting choice but to take
up arms in 1efense of our rights as a
free people and of our honor as a
sovereign government The military
masters of Germany denied us the
right to be neutral. They filled our un-
suspecting communities with vicious
spies and conspirators and sought
10 corrupt the opinion of our people in
their own behalf. When they found
that they could not do that. their
agents diligently spread sedition
amongst us and sought TO draw our
own citizens from their allegiance
and some of those agents were men
connected with the official embassy OF
the German government itself here in
our Capital. They sought by violence
to destroy our industries and arrest
our commerce. They tried TO Incite
Mexico to take up arms against us
and to draw Japan into a hostile al
lance with her-and that. not by in
direction. but by suggestion from the
foreign office in Berlin. They impu-
IDENTIFY denied US the use of the high
seas and repeatedly executed their
threat that they would send to their

death any of our people who ventured
to approach the coasts of Europe"
Yet even this list of "extraordi-
nary insults and aggressions' does
not tell the whole story. Our mo-
tives for war go even deeper. Not
only our rights and self-respect.
but our liberty and safety. are in
volved. Speaking on July 9. 1917.
at the officers training camp at
Madison Barracks. N. Y. the Secre-
tary OF State said:
The evil character of the Ger
man government is laid bare be-
fore the world. We know now
that that government Is inspired
with ambitions which menace hu-
man liberty. and that to gain it's
end II does not hesitate to break
faith. to violate the most sacred
rights, or to prepetrate intolerable
acts OF inhumanity .. Let US
understand once for all that this
is no war to establish an abstract
principle of right. II Is a war in
which the future of the United
States is at stake"
The German People.
One thought which you should keep
always in mind is the clear distinc-
ton between our attitude toward the
imperial German government and our
attitude toward the German people.
The President said in his speech of
June Il, 1917:
I'VE are not the enemies Of the
German people and they are not our
enemies. They did not originate or
desire this hideous war or wish that
we should he drawn into It: and We
are vaguely conscious that we are
fighting their cause. as they will
some day see II. as well as our own.
They are themselves in the grip of
the same sinister power that has now
at last stretched its ugly talons out
and drawn blood from US"
Every American soldier in this war
fights for objects dearer to all of us
than life itself-for freedom and
democracy. for the safety of our own
homes and families. for the honor of
our country. You will think often OF
these objects during your period of
training and after you actually enter
the trenches. The more you think
about them. the greater will be your
pride that you are one Of those first
chosen to defend them

PLATTSBURGH WILL LOSE
COAST ARTILLERY MEN
Nearly 200 to start Soon for Fortress
Monroe.

Pittsburgh, Sept A.-The coast artillery
corps has been a favorite arm of the
service ever since enlistments began in
large numbers. AT first there was a charm
and security about the comfortable quar-
ters behind the great coast Notifications,
and many a dream of quiet domestic life
has beeen founded on this feature. But
soon after war was declared by the United
States 1t became known that this corps
was destined to handle the big guns with
which we intend to pound the western
front in support of our troops.
The coast artillery now might we'll be
called the heavy artillery. for it's task Is
with all the mobile artillery above six
inches, up to the big twelve and sixteen
inch guns which are operated on platform
cars running on trucks-all such guns
being called railroad artillery.
The increased danger n burden of
the service seemed to be a greater attrac-
ton than fancied ease, for there was an
o%utpouring from engineering offices and
other kinds of business having men pos
sessed Of special knowledge in mechanics
and mathematics. There was a substan-
tial movement to get into the coast artil-
lery through the first camps. New York
and New England furnished a great many
men of special ability and training, who
came to P~lattsburgh, went to Fortress
Monroe, won commissions. and began to
go to the front almost at once.
Now the same process is being repeated
and a company of about 1870 candidates
has been training at P~lattsburgh. Finish
ing their preliminary training here this
week, they will go to the big fort which
guards the greatest of our naval ports
Hampton Roads.
