CHANGE IN BEEF AND ICE
CREAM CONES RULINGS

The state food administrator an
nounce the following ruling on the
beef and ice cream cones:
Beef, including boiled beef, roasts,
steaks, hamburger steaks, etc, may
be served from 1900 a. m. to 500
p. m, any day except Saturday.
All beef may be served on Satur-
days between 500 p. m. and 1900
midnight.
1t is the wish of the meat division
of the United States food admins
tration that the by-products, which
can be served at any time, should be
used as much as possible. By-pro-
ducts are as follows: Heads, tom
CUES, tails, livers, hearts, tripe, feet,
barreled beef, potted beef, beef loaf,
chilli con carne. Beef trimmings
are often made into sausages, boil
coma. and frankfurters, which need
not be served.
Fresh pork, bacon, hams, sausages,
mutton and lamb may be substituted
for beef.
Commencing with the 18th OF
July, ice cream cones may be served
at any time. This removes the re-
strictions in force since the middle
of June.

TORNADO MONDAY NIGHT

AT half past nine O'Clock Monday
night a tornado hit the barn on the
n. c. O'Donnell farm, one mile west
of Weston. demolishing the building
and carrying the pieces 200ft away.
There were several horses in the
barn but they were unhurt. Farm
machinery was demolishedt The
members of the family were in the
house nearby but the building was
not damaged. A corn crib was I'M
rooted, trees were blown down and
some other damage done. The rain
which accompanied the storm was
almost a cloudburst. A heavy rain
fell, which was greatly needed. The
storm and rain did not cover a very
wide territory. Here in Audubon
we had about two inches Of rain but
there were no signs of any kind of
storm.

men who is to leave with the 156
men in the draft July oath, was
taken suddenly i'll at home Friday

feeling bad. On reaching home he
was taken violently ILL., A physi-

to submit to a surgical operation
before he will get permanent re-
lief.
Mr.. Preston will not be strong
enough to accompany the boys who

if he RECEIVERS he will probably &c

GOOD CROWDS ATTEND

The Crescent Theatre was ex-
ceptionlly well patronized Friday and
Saturday evenings to witness the
Fox production, Annette Keller

The picture was all that was claim

airy line of pictures shown here. 1t
was only a fairy tale but cleverly
produced so that it would be admir-
ed by most people. About the only
draw back was that it was too
long. This is the only show that
will be given at this theatre for
more than sc and 15c for the
month of July.

GOSSIP OF The STREET
CLEARING PLAN
WELL RECEIVED
Committees Proposal Caused
Some Surprise, but Bankers Be-
lieye Il Satisfactory

The stock-clearing company planned
by a committee Of the New York Stock
Exchange and adopted by the governing
committee was very favorably discussed
In many brokers' offices yesterday.
Before the plan was announced II was
generally supposed here that the plan
ming committee would have something
to recommend in the way Of fortnightly
clearings similar to those in London, but
those who expressed opinions on the
matter said the new plans, while cover
Ing a different field, touch a much more
important matter and they believe when
the new plan is in full operation Il will
counteract to a large degree the incon-
veniences arising from the restrictions
imposed by the n committee. The
following Is the official explanation of
the working Of the plan:
AT the present time when q loan 10
called which a broker desires to rebor-
row It Is necessary for him to obtain
credit from his own bank for the purpose
of paying off the loan. 1t is proposed to
have the banks send their securities to
the clearing corporation. where they will
meet the representative OF the bank
loantng the money, and while the secu-
rifles are In the physical possession Of
the clearing corporation the old loan Is
paid off and the new loan made, with
such changes In securities as may be
necessary by the brokerage house, thus
eliminating any credit advances by a
third institution.
THE advantages of clearing stock bal
ances are illustrated by taking the stu
alton under the present clearing system.
II n member buys 1000 shares of Steel
and sells 900 shares the Clearing House
furnishes him with a balance OF 100
shares OF stock to receive inc pay for
the e day. II, however. the member
buys 1000 shares of Steel and sells 900
shares of Southern Pacific. tho present
clearing system Is of no assistance to
him should there be other transactions
in the same stock. 1t Ia proposed to fur
nish credit by the clearing corporation
in such a manner that the proceeds Of
the delivery Of the 800 shares of South
ern Pacific will be used to reduce the
debit caused by the purchase OF the
1000 shares Of Steel, 30 that the net
credit extension required will be neces-
for the payment of the difference only"
This plan, It can be seen, serves the
double purpose OF clearing both loans
n stocks, as under 1t a broker Is not
compelled to pay for all the stocks he
purchases, but only for those on balance.
Another reform is now being consid-
cred in connection with stock brokerage
operations, It was said yesterday. It
refers to a change in commissions being
charged In "ffths' instead of "eighths,"
as at present. This reform has been fire.
