CHICAGO, Aug. 13-Notwithstand- ing that at first the wheat market seemed to be virtually unaffected by the announcement of comprehensive plans of government control to be put m operation September l, prices fi- nally gave way. The outcome was a heavy close at II cents a bushel net declines, with September down to $204 Corn finished 5s cents off to 4 cents up at S114A to $114% for December and s112H and $1.12% for May. Oats closed at 5s cents decline to sMA cent advance. Last prices Of provisions ranged from cents loss to rise of 27K cents.
 Corn had a general downward tend ency today but steadied when signs were given attention that hogs and corn had about come together again In values and that corn was near a feeding level. This point, however was not reached until cash prices had In some cases fallen 20 cents a bushel since Saturday, making about 60 cents decline since the abnormal demand from distilleries was at the apex last week.
 Export sales at the seaboard helped 10 rally the oats market from an. early decline, due to sympathy with the weakness in corn. Old oats have now lost their premium over new, the lat ter being of eXceptionl duality on the whole.

New ones have been bought and these too, have grown old and it occurs to the secretary of the Mesa commercial club that there must be number of families both in Phoenix and on the Southside who have the Edison Home phoenograph, and who also are possessed of certain of the cylinder records of which they have grown tired. All such records will be new to the boys in khaki, and if new one were thrown in 1t wou be all the better. This calls to the fertile mind of Secretary Evans a sugges- tion to-wit: Why not hand him over the price of record, the same to be selected by the boys. The donor need not own a phonograph, and this plan would let in any public spirited citizen All records (the Edison cylinder record) should be sent to Secretary Evans, Mesa commercial club

Officers Busy

The hotel presided over by Constable Pickens and Marshal Sabin was rather overcrowded yesterday by reason of a sudden influx of unwilling guests. The first conner was an Indian, who was too drunk to do anything but try and raise a disturbance, which was quickly quelled. He was being allowed to sleep off his spree so that he might remember his name, which he was un- ble to give at the time of his arrest. Four others were youths who were ac- cused of larceny. Their names as given are Leo and Melvin Tinnan and H. R. and J. B. Gibson. They are charged with having robbed the Tinnan boys father of $40. They had a second hand Ford packed for a summer vaca- tion when apprehended. They claim to have purchased the ear in Phoenix for S100. Another inmate was one c. c. Carter who was arrested on the request of Nogales officers. Deputy Page of that city came up yesterday and took his prisoner home for trial.

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds of the heart itself the es-
cape of blood is never in large quaint
ty, and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape of blood
from within its cavity of cavities into
the surrounding sac of the pericardium
mechanically interrupts the alternate
contraction and expansion by which
its pumping action is maintained. Ac-
cordingly the results Of the wound of
the heart are usually identical with
those of gradual suffocation. EX-

The Word "Belfry."

The word ''belfry'' had originally no
connection with bell" an idea which
is now intimately associated with the
term. The first meaning given is
"watchtower, from the middle Eng
fish ''berfry.' a watchtower. The first
part of this word is connected with
borough" the second with free" AS
the practice grew of hanging bells"
in such towers people reminded them
selves of the fact by changing the
word "berfry" into the modern "bel-
fry"
