Baton Rouge. La, Oct' 10
The latest ruling of Provost Mar
shall General Crowder that mar
ried men whose families were
mainly dependent upon them when
they were duly summoned should
be discharged from the service,
and that the wealth of the par
ents of either the husband or the
wife should not be taken into
consideration, has created a tan
gle of individual interpretations
as affecting the cases of men al
ready. .inducted into the service,
Accordingly, in order to settle
the matter once for all, Adjutant
General McCrory probably will
put the question up to the pro-
vost marshal general.
The local and district boards OF
the state are getting many re-
quests for relief from wives
of men already sent to .Caml
Pike, Arkansas. If any on'
of these hundreds of married
men should be released unde
this ruling, all will have to be re
turned to their homes, if the
press exemption claims, it is said
The issue is a big one, becaus

of decisions already made, bu
may leave the boards no alterna

"Reports have been received
from several portions of Louisi-
ana that corn is being sold at ap-
proximately S1.O0 per bushel at

State University. SIN some
cases it is asserted that there is
all inadequate supply OF corn in
these very communities to meet
the requirements for the coming
year.
"Old corn is worth in st. Louis
at this time around $500 a bu.
shell; December deliveries are
quoted at about Sl.20 with every
