ed barns, of which he has erected
eighteen at cost OF $500 apiece. In
srite of the cost of this special equip

money if allowance is made for the

1t might seem that the equal sum
thus yielded by adding the principal
statistics about the presidents and
monarchs engaged in war against the
Central powers was startling and sig
nihcant enough. Brit the wonder is
heightened when we are told that this
sum must be divided because two

Voluntary Prisoners.

During the early weeks Of occupa-
ton OF Port-au-Prince by the Ameri-
can marines the patrols rounded up
seventy-three prisoners. The jails be-
ing unspeakable at that time, these
prisoners were parked out in a clean,
rooted over corral, where of course
they were regularly fed A few days
after the collection was put into the
corral the captain Of marines asked
his sergeant to go in and make a care
full count of the prisoners, as he feared
some Of them might have escaped. The
sergeant counted over his haul three
times. "Well," said the captain, "are
they all there" II can't make it out,

week MARKED BY
SOARING PRICES
Corn Much Higher Despite
The Ban On Future
Trading

Chicago, Oct. 2T.-Reduction of the
amount of corn I'm Chicago to the
smallest total in many years led to
soaring prices for corn this week de-
spite q board of trade ban here on all
new buying of November and Deem
Der deliveries. As compared with a
week ago, corn this morning showed
a rise OF as to sc net. Oats were
virtually unchanged. Provisions gain
ed 40c to soc, except October pork,
which declined $1.2b.
Nervousness of shorts became acute
when attention was directed on Mon
day to the extreme paucity of the
elevator supply of corn here, a total
stock less thC2 one-twentieth Of the
aggregate a year ago. Talk of pro-
nounced car scarcity at rural stations
and Of insufiiciency of labor for rapid
work in husking and shocking added
to the prevailing uneastness, which
continued until yesterday, when signs
seemed TO indicate that urgency of
buying had been checked owing to
enlarged movement OF new corn from
producers in the southwest.
A halt in seaboard demand, .togeth-
err with more liberal offerings to ar
rive here, prevented any bulge in
oats.
Estimates that the potential hog
supply had been put far too low
smashed <the provision market, but.
owing to the corn bulge, the effect
failed to last.
