WHEAT OFF THE BOARD
Government Control Works Smoothly
Weather Raises Corn Price.

Chicago. Sept. S.-Virtaal disap-
pearance of wheat as board of trade
commodity has made this week
memora BILE one in existing annals. The
federal government took formal
charge of all wheat transactions at
the outset on Monday and thereafter
unvarying government prices were
the rule so far wheat was con-
cerned
As compared with week ago corn
quotations this morning showed a
gain of a quarter to 2 cents net and
oats We're up a shade to l Is. Provi-
sions varied from 35 cents decline to
rise of 10 cents. Smoothness which
characterized the transfer of wheat
business to the government resulted in
some degree from the fact that re-
ceipts were only sufficient here and
elsewhere to meet current milling re-
quirements-
Unseasonably cold weather stimula-
ted the inward tendency of corn mar
ket. Oats showed independent firm
ness on account of fears that wet
weather meant serious hindrance to
threshing.
Provisions steadied near the end of
the week. owing to word that the gov
ernment would refrain for the time
being if not altogether from fixing the
price of meats.

HOW u. S. SOLDIERS
WON NICKNAME OF
SAMMIES IN FRANCE

Washington, Sept. S.-The use of
the term "Sammies" to describe our
troops is almost unknown in France.
according to dispatches received from
the United States marines in the over
sea expedition of the first to fight"
How the term came into use is ex-
planned in this wise: When the first
to fight" contingent steamed into port
the people on the wharf shouted
"Vivent les mis,'-pronounced "Veev
lays ahmeer" What this means is
long live the (our) r1ends.'' but
lies amis' may sound a good deal like
lies Sammies," and the newspaper
men SO interpreted it. Immediately
the folks back home" began calling
our troops 'Sammies.' but the French
have yet to acquire the habit.
