GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. August 13.-Announce-
ment in general terms Of the government
plans to rule the wheat and flour business
OF the country made no important diner
ence in the wheat market today. Prices
showed a slightly increased tendency to
ease off, but a downward slant OF late
has been the plain course OF prices For
a long time, too. the amount OF trading
done has been hardly more than enough
to establish quotations. This morning
tied in volume and the pit was virtually
deserted. After opening ! lower at IA
September, the market recovered to 20.
No other option but September was
dealt in to any extent whatever.
Falling of in demand for corn for I'M
mediate delivery. especially to distiliers'
continued to weaken the corn market.
Optimistic crop reports counted also in
favor Of the bears. Opening prices,
which ranged from 4 to l lower with
December at LA to Lay and May at
Liz to LILY, were followed by mod
crate rally and then a fresh setback.
Oats gave way with corn. Spectators,
mainly on the December option.
New high price records in the hog
market strengthened provisions. The
steepest advance was on pork
Later the future wheat delivery mar
ket underwent notable fall in con-

A FAMILY AFFAIR

II your father and your son were
in trouble, struggling for their lives,
and doing 1t in defense OF your
home and your business, would YOU
supply them with food and clothing,
or would you refuse them?
This is a straight question. Yet
it is the one facing you today The
country which has protected you and
your family, may well claim to be
considered as your father, and as
for the boys who are giving their
lives for YOU surely they have a
right TO be considered as your sons,
This nation is one big family to-
day This war is a family affair.
BE good father and good son.
Your sense of justice and fairness,
your patriotism, Is on trial
When you remember that you are

HOW TO SECURE A LIBERTY
BOND.

You are satisfied that II is your
duty to yourself and to your coun.
try to buy a Liberty Bond. Now
you want to know just how to Sc.
cure one. Go to any bank, sign an
application form for the bond OF the
value desired.
The bonds are of the following
values $50, 800, $500, $1,000, $4,000
and 10000
Your banker will take your check
Tor per cent Of the amount of the
bond you decide to purchase. The
remaining payments will be made
as follows:
Eighteen per cent on Nov. Is, 1917
Forty per cent ON Dec. 49, 1917
Forty per cent on Jan. 10, 1918
You can pay in full at time OF
application for any bond up to the
value of $1,000 II you wish.
II you care to pay for your bond
in full at the time of application
you can have your bond by about
Oct. 10. II you pay by installments
you will receive your bond as soon
as you have finished paying for IL
The bonds are free from Federal
State or local taxes. In the casa
OF wealthy people who pay income
surtaxes, and hold bonds of over
$4,000, there Is small tax, but as
far as the average man is con
cerned they are tax free.
The interest on the bonds ls 4
per cent, payable to you on May 15
and Nov. Is each year.
The bonds may be redeemed BY
the government in full on and after
Nov. Is, 1927.
During the meantime the bonds
may pass from one person to an
other almost as freely as a dollai
bill does, There is very little dir
ference between giving your checl;
for $500 bill and giving It for a
Liberty bond.
Any banker will handle your sub
scription and charge you nothing
for the trouble.

effects are apparent are purely psy-
Geological. Our markets are the same
IN May that they were In March and
April We have as many people TO
feed and cIOthe and entertain. Their
needs have not changed.
OUTLOOK NOT GLOOMY
THE declaration of war is not only
going to bring back to the mil
lions and millions of dollars that were
advanced to Europe in the earlier
stages of the war, but is going to set
loose additional millions within our
own country. In so far as material
prosperity is concerned. the outlook
never was bigger and brighter All
we need is sanity in our daily habits
and an open business throttle, and
will all share in the good times
which existing conditions must pro-
duce.
I'm a consistent reasonable way
business and social matters should go
on as usual There always has been
in this country a tendency among Ger
tain classes of people to live beyond
their means We do not need to have
ton of this error necessary and i'm
portant. 1t does, however, sometimes
take such serious conditions war to
bring these people who spend beyond
their means to their logical senses For
those people, however, who form the
great majority, and who enjoy what
they can afford, there is very little
necessity for a change in spending
habits. These people still desire to
maintain their position in society and
in business. and there is no reason
why they should wear less diamonds
or less jewelry, or POorc- clothing,
or poorer hats, or poorer s-~~ IAN
they have always worn, beca rs tAey
have the means to afford them.
eliminate waste and practice rea-
sonable economy, but be ever guided
by the fact that unemployment and
closed factories brought about by fitful
| and ill-advised campaigns for public
economy will prove a veritable foun-
dation of Quicksand for the serious
| work our country has at hand Bust
ness .depressfOns are always bad, but
; doubly so when we have a light on
our hands The best way we can
avoid business depressions is to work

buy in the usual way.

Because of an impending possible
shortage of foodstuffs we have hys-
terical demands for economy in every
line of human endeavor. Waste is
bad, but an discriminating economy
is worse.
"Every mercantile business and
every factory in America is a part OF
our great national industrial machine,
which, in time of war, is even more
important to the progress of the cOun-
try than it is times of peace.
1.-THE hue and cry raised in the in
terests of economy, while well-inten-
toned, is very apt to have an ex-
actly negative effect from that in
tended. An discriminating economy
is worse than waste.
ALL ARE ESSENTIAL
1.-The closing down of normal pur-
chases to the line of bare necessity
is bound to choke the flow of our ma
tional trade to the lowest livable min
imum
Business is a great chain of in
terlocking enterprises. The jeweler
is just as important part of this
chain as is the grocer, and likewise the
shoe merchant, the clothing merchant,
the milliner, and every merchant who
purveys merchandise which is pur-
chased in normal times
"If men and women stop buying the
merchandise they have been accus-
toned to buy, we shall very shortly
have a series of failures among Ameri-
can merchants, which will be far
reaching in it's negative effect. Ev-
cry part of the great national indus
| trial machine must be kept doing its
part. otherwise the efficiency of the
entire machine will be greatly lessen
ed. and if there was ever time III
the history of our country when we
needed greater industrial activity than
at any other time, that is surely now
