tie for the season arrived on the man
ket today, some 500 cars or 5000
head, about 1000 more than on last
Monday and an increase of 5000

met with free action and showed
some recovery from the low time last
week, while the general outlet for
steers measured up pretty we'll with
the close of last week, while stockers
and feeders ruled steady with feed
ing she stuff higher.
Hog run was moderate. Trade
was slow in rounding into shape,
sellers asking sharply higher prices,
while buyers bid about steady. Deal
finally got going at prices that looked
5 q 15c higher than Saturday. Tops
landed at $19.15, while bulk of the
packing grades ranged from $500
l@18.40, with shipping business
largely from 1880 q 1910.
Steady release was obtainable for
the moderate supply of sheep and
lambs that arrived.

From a Russian of high birth who
was a lady-in-waiting to the czarina
of Russia, are learned some particu-
lars of the events which Immediately
preceded and followed the czar's abdi-
cation which are not generally known.
The woman lost all she possessed In
the upheaval of Russia and is now
connected with the American Red
Cross. The czarina banished her
from court before the revolution be-
cause her husband, who was in the
diplomatic service, had incurred the
imperial ~displeasure.
The lady In question says that the
czar and czarina were warned of their
danger some weeks before the revolu-
ton started. In particular did Prin-
cess Vasiltchioff, a member of the i'm
perial court, and wife of a prominent
member of the council of the empire,
warn her. The princess is a good Rus
sian patriot, and, like many others,
was appalled, at the signs of coming
anarchy.
So much alarmed was she that she
wrote a personal letter to the czarina,
telling her that If she wished to save
Russia and her own family she must
dismiss Rasputin and the Germans al
court and see that the army had am
munition.

AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

Appealing in characterization

viii be the exceedingly pleasing at
traction at the Colonial this evening
Charles Ray appears as Jimmy Dun
can, the energetic son of the Rev.
John Duncan a hypocritical minister
who is the tool of T. Elihu Banks, the
political boss of Manchester. Jimmy
is ambitious to shine as a playwright,
a career which his father opposes with
such bitterness that Jimmy leaves the
parental home to seek his fortune else
where. Meanwhile, Banks, with the
aid of Justice Jameson and Rev. Dun
can, control the city, it's inhabitants
and institutions. Jimmy returns home
after a lapse of time, very much like a
tramp and is coldly received by his
father. He returns to his room, in
which he had spent so many happy
hours. finds the uncompleted manus-
cript of a play, which he thrusts into
his pocket and with a typewriter tuck
ed under his arm he starts forth anew.
Banks is seeking to gain control of

MEAT PROGRAM
SOMEWHAT RELAXED

The Federal Food Administrators for
Maryland, r. c. Baetjer, has sent out
the following to all public eating
places, Press Clubs, and County Ad-
illustrators:
I'm view of the heavy shipments of
lightweight beef, the United States
Food Administration has removed the
prohibition against the serving of beef
at the morning and evening meals.
Effective at once, beef may now be
served at any meal in the day, but the
Food Administration requests all pub
lie eating houses to purchase and
serve only the lighter weight beef, as
the supply of heavy beef is all needed
for army export.
Retail dealers in meats are request
ed TO handle cutie which, when dress
ed, weighs not over four hundred and
seventy-hve pounds. All public eating
houses, and the public in general are
requested to demand lightweight cuts,
and to limit their use to cuts from
lightweight cattle. The general pro-
gram for conservation of meat is still
encouraged as we must be careful in
order TO preserve supplies for future
needs, but for the present the pro-
grom can safely be relaxed to the ex-
tent indicated. above.

This is the statement OF William
Farnum after he had learned that Will
liam Fox intended to remake THE
Bondman" as one of the Big Six of
1918. The thrill Farnum got in the
making of the picture was felt by mo-
ton picture viewers all over the coun-
try. Critics called THE Bondman" "A
powerful picture" "Original-great-
thrilling" "A pronounced hit"
The 1918 edition of THE Bondman"

NEARLY 100000 PEOPLE
PROVIDED WITH COAL

Anthracite of domestic sizes, enough
to supply for full year 2,317, 900 peo-
pie, allowing the average consumption
per person, was produced last month.
In the first third of the coal year, or
during the 4 months ended July 81.
the anthracite industry has so pro-
vided years requirements of 1851
600 people. AT the same time il has
supplied TO war and other industries
and uses no less than 1898, 1913 tons of
steam sizes and anthracite against S..
40S,S40 tons so supplied in the same
period last year.
Such big accomplishment, with the
labor force reduced 10 per cent since
the war began, has been brought about
by the combined efforts Of operators
and mine-workers striving as never
before in high purpose to do their very
utmost in support of the nation at
war. The total output of coal last
month. with the number of men avail
able smaller than ever, was raised
217,106 tons above that for June TO
7,0S4.775 tons, an amount exceeded
only twice before.
The. patriotic talks and efforts of ex-
ecutive officers of the United Mine
Workers, on top of those of thousands
of the mine-workers, urged on by the
womenfolk and the appeals from
Washington and from the press of the
country, which is now fully alive to
the urgency of the fuel situation, all
worked to produce the highest produc.
tion of coal.
Ii is important to know that not
only was that much more anthracite
produced during the four months end.
ed July 81 than ever before in such
period-924,960 tons more than in the
same time last year-but, even more
important, that virtually the entire
tonnage has actually reached ultimate
consumers.
At tidewater shipping points there
was less than $4,000 tons at the be
ginning of this month. The demand
has taken anthracite as fast as it could
be produced. This means that con
sumers are better provided than ever
before in August. On the other hand,
there are no reserve stocks of anthra-
cite to be drawn upon next winter
Current production and distribution
must then be counted upon, which
makes it imperative, if the public is to
be supplied with coal, that the mining
forces shall be maintained, whether
against the draft or other depicting
agencies.

Melting aluminium Chips.

Fine aluminium chips, such as are
produced in the machining of the alu.
minum alloys used in motorcar con-
struction are hard to remelt without
excessive loss, a loss of 40 per cent
being common. According to the bu-
reau of mines, the total loss from this
cause throughout the country amounts,
with aluminium at its present price, to
100000. The bureau has recently pub.
lished some valuable suggestions for
minimizing this loss. The main cause
of trouble seems to be the lack of ready
coalescence of the metallic globules.
and this means that the problem is

Tom Mix is now one of the most
popular persons on the screen and he
mas been doing splendid work in his

appears in rather a different light, as
he is a member Of the Northwest

opportunity to show his dash and dar-
ing and he takes full advantage Of it.
The~play is particularly picturesque
and has strong love story woven in

His last pictures have been so attrac-
tive that great deal of interest is dis
played in anything that he will do.

OUR SAVED FOOD
FED The ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes PreSi-
dent America Conserved 14l,-
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
ga, COZ. 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,-
600. 900 bushels of wheat and 844, 600
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at 81, 100000, 600.
This was accomplished In the face of a
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-1s and the shipment of
meat during 1918.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81, 400 100000, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
(including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:
Fiscal year 1916-17 :. 2, 1865, 500, 900 lbs.
