the trade has developed the most pc.
culiar, hard working and unexplain.
able conditions that have ever existed
in this department of the trade, SC
say the most experienced hog men.
These conditions have followed since
the high point of the market was made
week ago today, when prime hogs
landed $40 per cwt. 1t is true that
the well finished, particularly the
weighty hogs are scarce, still in the
sharp price breaks that have followed,
even the we'll fatted swine have drop
ped in sympathy.
Unless the dry weather in its Sc
rious state is eliminated there is no
question but what the run of imma-
ture hogs will continue and prices sag
further downward, but ultimately we
expect to see the well fatted work up
wards again.
On today's market there was q 1Oc
to 15c lower opening for the choice
weighty, corn hogs with an early top
of $19.75. However, outside demand
was limited, thus leaving the trade
generally in packers hands who at
the close secured their buy of good
hogs 35c to 40c lower than yesterday,
and the rank and file of pigs SOC to
75c lower. At the finish they bought
the best hogs at $19.40 to $685., and
good weight swine around $19.25.
Buyers are discriminating to a
marked extent against unfinished
hogs, regardless of their weights or
where they come from. At the same
time quality cuts a mighty big fig
ure, because swine from southern sec
tions and although they only show the
ear marks Of coming from those quar-
tiers, buyers are prompt in refusing
to trade on such varieties, still such
animals can show thick fat and well
finished flesh.
The price range is the widest ever
known and light stuff or any class of
habitat hogs range SO far apart that
it is difficult matter to place two
lunches, looking the same as to quail
ityand flesh, at price that looks con-
sistent with each other.
Until there is a relief from the
drouth we advise caution in the ship
ping of light or unfinished swine as
there is such surplus Of these kinds
and the demand SO limited. 4

1t must be taken for granted that
because of no weakness in the trade
that the dry weather proposition is
still not big factor in the trade. 1t
surely Is and will continue SO until
there is general rain fall.
The relief this week from excessive
receipts has been due to local show

to hold shipments back to some ex-

pie to retard any price improvement
whatsoever. @ ~,l.af
Load after load of cattle have been
marketed of late which we're intended
for later markets. The burnt-up con-
dition of so many pastures plus the
shortage of stock water created a
rather panicky feeling, among owners

circumstances to expect the preseason

which remain at the high point of the

flesh killers and stocker and feeder
grades have at times been virtually
drug on the market. Due to the
dry weather, eountrymen did not
want them, nor did packers, because
their wants were soon filled of the
low priced stuff, whereas there, was
a shortage of the fat and finished cat

FOR NEW REGISTRATION

The following are some extracts
from telegram No. B-2461 from the
Provost Marshal General Crowder:
at is confidently anticipated that
Legislation extending the present draft
ages will early be enacted by Con-
gress. At this time it cannot be stat
ed with exactness what ages will be
subject to draft but it is safe to as
sumo that a very large number of
men will be required to register and
that the day of registration will be
early in September.
1.-THE registration of such large
numbers requires detailed and extern
sive preparation and there will not be
sufficient time for such preparation
after the passage of the legislation by
Congress. The machinery for regis
tration must be perfected and ready
to be put into immediate operation
when the Presidents proclamation can
be published.
"The Local Boards will have imnde-
diate direction and supervision of the
registration within their respective
jurisdiction. The actual registration
will be made in the customary voting
precincts in the jurisdictions of each
Local Board.
each Local Board should be re-
quested at once ITO appoint regis
trar; for each precinct within its JUS
isdiction, Where there is more than
one registrar in precinct, one will
be appointed as Chief Registrar. All
persons are expected to offer such ser
vices as they can afford in this patri-
otto duty without; COMPENSATION, but,
when compensation is claimed 2bys a
registrar, four dollars may be paid for
his services. fahcHa Z n 90
1.-THE Presidents Proclamation, to
be issued upon the passage of the act
by Congress, will fix the date for reg
istration and the Draft Executive Of
each State will be furnished in adj
vance with necessary blanks and
forms to conduct registration. q.

Rolled
Oats

This is the time Of year when Rolled
oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
FAN. To overcome this condition that
seems TO occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands Of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at price that will enable the consumer
10 purchase bag Of Rolled Oats at a
price consistent to the feeding value,
much less than any other product for
human consumption.
We suggest every family order 90
pound bag of Rolled oats from their
grocer. Rolled Oats and Cream of
Maize are considered the best substi-
tutes TO use with wheat -four. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.

Howe for Governor.
(St. Albans Messenger }

tSt Adams Messenger
A contest for the Republican nomina-
ton for the governorship is assured for
no matter which way the tide turns there
will be at least two candidates in the field,
and because of this the people are com
PEELED to direct their attention to mat
tiers OF state politics, and there is little
doubt that their interest will increase
right up to the day OF the primary cleo
tions in September.
Charles H. Darling, of Burlington,
while he has not taken the public into
his confidence by a public statement,
nevertheless is in the field and has said
that he is in to stay regardless of who
may oppose him. Former Lieut.. Gov,
Frank f. Howe, of Bennington, is a con
ditional candidate. He will seek the office
against the field if the field does not con
tain Governor Graham If Graham wants
a second term, Howe will not be can
didate, as he said in his straightforward
statement recently made public.
This resolves itself, at the present time,
into one of two situations Either the
contest will be between Governor Ora
ham and Judge Darling, or between
Frank Howe and the Burlington man
1t may be that the field will be increased
but there is no indication of this at the
present time and it is not likely that new
men will appear now, although it is not
an impossibilty For all practical pur
poses this means that the primary con
test will be between Darling and Howe
for one seems safe in assuming that Gov
ernor Graham will not ask for a second
term.
The public, then, must begin to think
OF Howe and Darling. Which of these
two men will the better serve the interest,
OF the commonwealth in the present
state OF affairs? That is the main question
Tor the nomination is equivalent to cleo
ton, so preponderant is the Republican
strength in Vermont. and the voters ar,

of the two men should be examined, 70

When Theodore Roosevelt in his Sara
toga speech declared that we might have
had an army in France on January |
which might have surpassed in size and
equipment the army we have over there
now i'll July, he was not exaggerating
Our authorities simply did not believe
that time was needed for such an army
over there the first Of the year There
were precisely as many ships last fall as
there were this spring rather more so.
The guns and other supplies for our
troops have in the main been supplied by
England and France. That could have
been done just as well in January as in
June. Mr.. Roosevelt believed that the
men should have been there in January.
The war making powers did not think so.

soBRIETY AND FUEL.

An angle of the liquor problem that
is sometimes ignored in prohibition dis
cussions is brought into prominence by
the action of the Pittsburg Vein Opcr-
alters association of Ohio. This big
group of coal producers has petitioned
the president to abolish the sale of all
ntoxicants for the period of the war,
"not as a political or moral measure,
but for efficiency.
The operators say there il an i'm
mcnse loss in fuel production resulting
from the failure Of employees to work
on days preceding and following holt
days and Immediately after semi
monthly pay days. The loss in the
Pittsburg Vein district alone on July
3, due to the alchoholic aftermath of
the Fourth, was estimated at 10000
tons. Such losses are especially depre-
Gated in view of the threatened coal
famine.
The operators do not confne their
interest to their own industry. cit is
our unanimous opinion they say, in
their letter to the president ''that the
only way to correct the evil is to.correct
the cause that patriotic appeals on one
side can not cope with liquor on the
other; that the elimination of drink.
ing places, at least for the period of
the war, will add 10 per cent more tc
the production of the things necessary
for the carrying on of the war ~

opinion expressed by certain repre-
sentatives of the shipbuilding industry
1t is not pleasant to believe thai
American workmen of any class are 81

cannot do their best for themselves anC

But facts are facts. If the operator
are right, there can be no question a
