hand, he extended his own toward his
nephew.
"And this is Stephen" he said.
"Well. Steve, you and me have never

misfortune, not our fault, hey2 How

Its contents become so surcharged with
the gas as to render it valueless.
Through the county agricultural
agents the United States department
of agriculture is urging large estab-
lishments such as canneries and fruit
drying businesses to save pits from
their products for gas mask use-
Ordinarily these pits should be shipped
whole, but exception has been made
for certain California fruit Gamers
and driers who make valuable by
product from the kernel within april
cot seeds.
Boys and Girls Help.
The department also has aligned the
million members Of the boys and girls
clubs throughout the country. and they
are busily working to see which club,
district and state can deliver the larg-
est amount in the shortest space Of
time in this pit and shell drive. They
are putting ''pep" Jump" 'speed,"
"get-up-and-go" into their drive, and
they are using signs, slogans and songs
to send the pits and shells over the
top. Department stores have barrels
placed in their aisles where collections
may be put; hotels and community
canneries are patriotically putting the
stones aside for the government. but
the largest source of supply-one
which is practically untapped-is that
from the individual households. The
amount from any one home seems In
finitesimal, but the aggregate from
more than twenty million homes will
be stupendous.
The stones and shells should be
taken to the nearest Red Cross center,
where they will be forwarded to the
proper department.

carbon requisites for gas masks 10

by hand or in a cider mill If light
colored product is desired. Heat this
liquid to the boiling point, place In
sterilized bottles or Jars and carefully
seal. The product may be sweetened
or not ut the time Of bottling.
When red Juice is desired the
grapes should first be heated to tenn

and then strained through clean cloth
or dripbag. Reheat the liquid after
straining, place in containers and seal.
Keep the bottles or cans In a cool
place. If bottles are used the corks
should be sterilized and the necks
sealed with sealing wax. Unfermented
juice may be made not only from all
varieties of grapes, but from some
other fruits, such as apples. pears,
cherries and berries.
Unfermented grape Juice can be used
In sickness, convalescence, and health.

Worlds Market NeWs
WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISION

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Overpowering
rushes to sell have smashed down h
price of corn this week 10 IL to II
1-8c! a bushel. Almost the entire
break took place after Germany's re-
quest that fighting be stopped at once.
Oats meanwhile have fallen 8 IL to
6 lac and provisions l55c to $4.02.
Although progress in the cracking
of German defense lines had given
bearish sentiment to the corn
impetus. it was not until Chancellor
Maximilian's note m~onopolized atten-
ton that the big downward swing of
values began in earnest. Absorbing
interest later which centered on the
response by President Wilson did not
materially alter the rapid descent of
values. Talk that Turkey might imi-
tate the surrender of Bulgaria out
right, and that a split between AUS
tria and Hungary was impending OPP
Grated further to increase selling press
sure, which reached the acme after
the forward sweep of the Entente
armies beyond the Hindenburg line.
The only important rally in prices
was witnessed yesterday when the UNI
certainties of a double holiday ahead
forced a general evening up of trade.
Oats paralleled the action of corn,
but were steadied in a measure by
improved domestic shipping demand.
Provisions dropped with grain and
hogs despite considerable buying as
cribed to packers. Weakness was most
acute in pork. -

majority of which are likely to be

of several prominent women swim

Those records which are accepted,

be officially accepted, as such until
passed upon by the international AM

ton of hostilities the I. A. A. F. will

HAS FINE FooTBALL TEAM.

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 12.-The selec-
tive draft did not prevent the local
high school from putting q fast inter-
scholastic football team in the field
this season. The high school team
played its first game against a team
formed from among the Texas infan-
try company organized here and the
high school won although the boys
playing on that team were much
smaller than the soldiers.
The high school students are being
encouraged to play football by Pro-
lessor Allen Hughey, principal, who
believes it will tend to develop quick
thinking, team work and a high
standard Of physical health which
will aid the students if they are CALI
ed to the colors. All of the boys at
tending the high school are members
OF the cadet corps and, in addition to
their regular drills, they are encour-
aged to do track, field and gridiron

SYNDICATED BUYING
SAVES FRENCH MONEY

Washington, October IL. - What
amounts to cooperative, syndicated
buying in foreign markets has, been
adopted as a War measure by French
manufacturers who get raw materials
abroad. Commercial Attache Pierce
Williams at Paris. points out that
French industries. therefore, are rap
idly being centralized in syndicates
acting on behalf Of the French gov
eminent!
These importing syndicates are
known as consortiums. Their capital
stock is fixed by the government and
each manufacturer requiring the raw
materials is permitted to take ascef-
tain amount based on his pre-war im-
ports.
The consortium is permitted to dis
tribute the material to the members,
Al a price determined by the ministry
OF commerce. It 10 expected that
wasteful competition will be prevent
ed in markets which also must supply
Frances associates In the a and
that prohteering by mushroom firms
will be eliminated.
