The American buildings are mostly

corrugated plate. They are, >in other
words, constructed as permanent
buildings and can stand wear and

buildings nor machinery are likely
to be taken back to England and the

Hog Prices to Continue

1t is highly desirable that the light

next thirty days. If withheld at
this time the possibility of breaking
down present price levels because
of excessive receipts of the lighter
hogs will be avoided.
All available hog products that
can be spared will be required for

January and thereafter.

Be Conservative

The war is over and people must
learn to get back to normal busi
ness methods. The banks all over
the country, have been hit hard in
helping to finance the war; Many
of them are over loaned at this time
ard speculative transactions, that
require loans from banks. should be
avoided Merchants must learn to
not over buy and borrowers must
give prompt attention to the bank
loans. The inclination to over
check bank balances. on the part of
many, should be discontinued
Banks can do only the business
their customers permit them to do
and it will be seen, readily. we

portant factors in keeping the busi-
ness of the country free from finan-

AS TO FEEDING HUNS
Problem is One of Relaxing
the Blockade

Will the people of this country be
called upon to make sacrifices. to
deny themselves food, that Germany
may be fed? This question has
been asked frequently of the Mis-
souri, Division of the Food Ad-
ministration.
Just before he sailed for Europe
Mr.. Hoover declared that according
to plans already made, Germany
will be fed by economic measures
which only contemplate the raising
of a embargo and shipping bar
riers. Oar rreat task 's to feed the
liberated peoples of Europe, he said.

by the retreating German armies.
There is a great problem in the
sit uation of the enemy people. about
tw enty Million" he said. This
problem is not one of going to their
re lief. 1t is problem of relaxing
the watertight blockade, which con.
tinues through the armistice, suf-
ficiently so that they may secure
for themselves the bare necessities
that will give stable government,
U Mess anarchy can be put down
and stability of government can be
obtained in these enemy states
there will be nobody to make peace
with and nobody to pay the bill to
France and Belgium for the fearful
destruction that has been done.
Il would certainly approach this
problem with mixed feelings, having
been long a witness to the robbery
of food from women and children
nd the destruction of millions OF
to MS of food at sea and to the misery
under which millions amongst the
big and little Allies have suffered
under the German yoke. Justice
requires that a government be es.
tablished able to make amends fol
wrongs done, and it cannot be &C
complished through the spread ol
anarchy. Famine is the mother ol
anarchy.
Il am going to Europe to discuss
the further food measures thai

GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS
Should be Appropriate and
Carefully Selected

Christmas comes but once a year
and when it comes it often brings
no, not good cheer, as the jingle
would have US believe, but disillu-
sionment and disappointment. At
least this is the lot of those unfortu-
nate individuals who are the recipi.
ents of hastily purchased and inap-
propriately selected presents. Not
that we mean to take a gloomy
view of this fe. tive holiday, but it
does seem a pity that so many
useless gifts are presented each
year.
Why does the Christmas shopper
in her journeyings from counter to
counter seem to lose all her CON-
mon sense of balance, to say good
bye to all the common sense, tact
and judgment of which she is US
ually possessed? Why does she
commit the folly that amounts al
most to crime. OF bestowing gifts
that don't fit the recipients tastes
and never would by the widest
stretch of imagination?
And so it goes. So many women
in doing their Christmas shopping
select gifts that appeal to their
own tastes without one thought as
to how the article in question will
strike the fancy of the one who re-
ceives it. Though this may be an
eminently satisfactory method for
those who give. it is not quite so
delightful for those who receive.
Make a list of the persons for
whom presents are to be purchased
and determine the character of each
present you want to give each. This
will save time and exhaustion. For
instance, your brother may be
fond of reading, in which case put
books" down after his name Books
by the way, are almost always
good selection for a man, For sis
ter there are any number of pretty
things for her dressing table, for
her own personal apparel, for her
bedroom or her desk. A dainty
collar trimmed with a bit of real
lace, a pair of gloves or a filmy
scarf-any one of these attractive
ad 1itions to her wardrobe will be
welcomed by the average girl. A
handbag is almost always an ac-
ceptable gift, and those seen in sew
eral of the shops made partly of
black silk and partly of Paisley
shawl are new and fetching. Some
of the cretonne and brocade desk
sets are delightful, but before in
veStine in this sort of a gift it is
wise to find out whether the woman
for whom it is intended cares for
those decorative art" objects, as
the brocade covered articles are
called.

They will be in favor of law and

the proposed punishment of vii.

The Allies are not willing to al

If Holland refuses his extradition
without the consent of Germany,
pressure will be brought to secure
consent.
A demand for the surrender of
William Hohenzollern will be sub.
mitted the Netherlands Govern

President Wilson has made sugges

the case.
Authority is claimed by the press
for the statement that although
there some little differences as to
points of law among Allied jurists,
the conference revealed unanimity
relative to the bringing of the
former German Emperor to answer
for his crimes.
The opinion is held that Holland
will not be disposed to put obstacles
in the way. She will not be asked
to deliver Herr Hohenzollern under
the ordinary extradition laws, but
his status will be considered anal.

The German Government is still
undecided as to how deal with the
former Emperor and the Hohenzol-

The guilt of starting the struggle
lies with both Germany and Aus

is now investigating the pre-war
methods of the Foreign Office, par

made public as soon as given out.

WAGES TO Be REDUCED
Missouri Senator of Opinion
Cut is Inevitable

Senator Reed of Missouri in a
statement issued for the press. takes
issue with Samuel Gomper. presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, who in an address at the
aabor conference at Laredo, Texas
declared that his organization
would fight to maintain the advant-
ages gained in wages and hours
during the war. The Senator in
sists that wages are bound to come

The purchasing price of the dol

iy to the enormous initiation of the

gun. 1t must be apparent to every
thoughtful man that a return to
normal currency conditions will
mean a contraction in prices. This,
this of course. will affect the price
paid for labor, in common with
prices paid for other commodities
"One economic fact that appears
to be overlooked is that enormous
ly high wages do not necessarily
mean that conditions of the laborer
will thereby be improved Wages,
after all, are measured by what
they will buy. AS everything has
to be produced principally by labor
if labor is paid enormously high
wages the price of everything is
enormously increased. and the
iaboIer finds himself in the end but
little better off than he would have
been under normal condition. The
fact is that the prices of all kinds
are relative, and the thing labor
ought to ask for is fair treatment.
that is that labor shall have fair
division. Labor has right to ask
this. and every other element of the
community has the same right. In
fact speaking broadly, and elimi-

a right to expect fair opportunity
to gain a livelihood.
In the readjustment necessary iD
passing from war to peace basis
all classes should endeavor to do
their part in patriotic way. No
particular class should undertake to
gain an advantage from the war.
This has not been a war of any
class. 1t has been a war of the
American people. The victory is
the victory of the American people,
and no particular class of our peo-
pie. In getting back to peace
basis there should be no agitation
no attempt to stir up strife, no
effort to gain advantage. We
should exercise as high a patriot
ism in demobilizing for business oi
peace, as we did in mobilizing fol
business of war"

CORN CLOSE SSTRONG.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-The corn market, which early was nine cents under the high point established last Wednes- day, closed with net gain of 1-Sc today.
 There was some selling at the out set on some crop improvement be- cause of rains, and on heavy receipts, but this operation uncovered resting orders.
 Leaders who sold last week were observed to be buying, and shorts, covering, ran the price up.
 The close was strong with October at $1.62 IA cents. Information that the government purchased 800,000 bushels of oats heras last Saturday ex- plained the stubborness of that mar ket at the time. and coupled with the corn strength today sent the market up for net gain of 3-4 at cent.
 October, closing at 7S 1-4, made the maximum gain. In the provisions pl
