CANADIAN FARMERS
RELEASING wheat
Output of Winter Grain Has In.
creased A. Per Cent.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD

By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.
Chicago, Nov. 11.-Farmers in Can
ada continue to release their grip on
the wheat surplus of that country, as
the receipts last week were TITS cars
compared with $40, cars the previous
week, and 4,S1S cars for a like period
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth
jointly received 3,709 cars last week
compared with 1851 the previous week
and 1884 for the corresponding week
in 1916.
According to compilations of the
daily trade bulletin from all of the
states where wheat Is grown there is
an increase of $4,000 acres or "a
per cent over last year.
Receipts of new corn in the various
markets of the West have been main
ly poor in condition and some of IL
mas been allowed to remain in the
helds because of its damp condition.
IL Is reported that in parts OF the corn
oelt, instead of husking this grain.
STOCK has been turned into the fields
to feed upon it.
1t Is generally believed there has
been a renewal of the export trade in
oats, as there have been liberal pur-
chases of futures In the Dit The
farmers are busily engaged in har-
vestins corn wherever n is possible
and the receipts of oats on the farms
are likely to show a decrease for a
time.

ment and support, Gen. Joseph E.

fore group Of Y. NJ. C. A. campaign
fund workers at the home Of Charles
Henry Butler, 1881 I street
The Y. NJ. Z. A. workers have met
the acid test under trying conditions" :"
he said Their work has been in
valuable"
Gen. Kuhn said he had been fearful
about much welfare work. In.vitabIy,
lie said. some of it tended to soften
the men.
There Is too much of a tendency to
pamper the soldier" he observed.
But I want to bear testimony that
the Y. NJ. c. A. is going about a need
full work in a sane way. 1t does not
seek to mollycoddie him. But does not
for him things that need to be done.
Il wish to pay a tribute to the men
sent by the Y. NJ. C. A. to work at
Camp Meade. They are as broad
minded, sane and hardworking a lot of
energetic fellows as it has been my
good fortune to meet.
Anyone who contributes to the
campaign this week is performing a
patriotic duty, is truly helping SOL
diers, and is rendering a genuine serv-
ice to his country. He could not spend
money in a way which would better
insure dollars value for every dol
lar spent"

"SINC IS YOU co"
NOW SLOGAN Of
STORE employees
Star Spangled Banner
and America" May Be
Sung on Street Cars.

"sing as you CO." will be the slogan
Of hundreds OF Washington store en-
ployes IL new plans of the Sing Amer
lea and the Star Spanglcd Banner Or
ganization materialize, It was learned
last night.
So successful has been the song
schedules now in vogue in the ma
jority OF the city's largest department
and and l0-cent stores that the COM
mittee now Is considering expanding
their good work by urging that the
employees sing America" on the street
cars while they are riding to work in
the morning and the Star Spangled
Banner" while they return to their
homes in the evening.
While this suggestion appears a bit
radical interested members OF the or
ganization admitted last night. they
believe it will work out very well and
cause a spreading of this Song
habit which will reap untold benc-
fits.
Even the motorman, conductor and
passengers which might be on the Car
Will then have an opportunity to sing
the song. 1t is the belief of Miss j.
l.. Machel, leader OF the singers at the
Woolworth store. 4O6 Seventh street,
who first put forward the idea that
cities all over the United States will
soon take up the scheme should il
prove practical here.
A few of the stores which have in
augurated the singing of America
ana THE Star Spangled Banner" are
the Woolworth and 1c-cent store, 4ct
Seventh street northwest; McCrory's
and 10-cent store. 4lG Seventh street;
Lansburg G. Bro. Goldenberg's stores,
and Mrs. Mary Z. Cosden's boarding
house. 1301 X street northwest.
