Markets
GRAIN.

Chicago, June l7.-Record break
ing high temperatures which pre-
vailed yesterday led to buying of
corn today on a broad scale, and
forced a sharp advance in values.
Especial notice was taken of the
fact that the heat reached l04 at
Omaha and l02 at Des Moines. OF
ferings were relatively scarce.
Forecases of lower temperatures
and of showers over a part of the
corn belt induced something of a
reaction in the latter dealings.
Prices closed nervous, lie to lc net

and August Sl.N rs.
Opening prices. which varied from
unchanged figures to SAC higher,
with July $l.45 l-4Ml.46 5-S and
August Sl.4S l-40l.4S IL, were fol-
lowed by decided general upturn.
Oats responded to the strength of
corn and to hot weather reports.
Commission houses were active buy
ers. After opening l-Sc to | 5-S6

the market held near the top side
of the range.
Provisions rose with corn and
hogs. Sellers were hard to find.
Subsequently big shipments Of
meat and bullish construction placed
on the semi monthly warehouse re-
port brought about further gains.

Urgent Call for Yarn.

Mrs. ID. Kestler, supervisor of
knitting. is sending out an urgent
call for pieces OF yarn left over from
garments. The supply of yarn is
limited and in many instances it is
impossible TO secure it, so that each
scrap, no matter how small. will
help someone else to complete an
other garment. Even If there is
only half a yard or even less. these
little pieces will be needed" said
Mrs. Kestler. Those who have any
left overs are requested TO leave
them at Convention Hall or notify

FOR
JUNE e WAR
STAMP DRIVE

Louis Fischl, experimenting the
work in the Office of Judge Thomas
w. Champion, county chairman OF
the war savings stamps campaign, is
sending out supplies and literature
preparatory to the "over the top
Iune %" drive. He is mailing be-
tween 10000 and 1900 cards to the
citizens, notifying them to be pres
ent at meetings to be held in their
respective school districts on Friday,
June %, at 2 o'clock in the after
noon. He is also sending 5000
pledge cards to school district chair
men in all parts of the county. A
Four Minute Man will be at each
schoolhouse in the county in attend
ance on these meetings and will re-
main until the quota for that local
ity shall have been subscribed.
There is some misunderstanding
among many people, who are under
the impression that the whole
amount OF the subscription is to be
paid on June Is. None OF it need
be paid on that date unless the sub
scriber sees fit so to do, but all will
be asked to subscribe every dollar
they think they can invest in war
savings stamps between that date
and ian. |, next. The government
prefers that these investments be
made at stated intervals and the
pledge cards provide blanks for sub
scriptions for each month beginning
with June and closing with Decem-
Der. All this will be fully explained
by the Four Minute Men.

them to buy during the remainder

members OF the army Of the United
States pursuant to the selective
draft law. They were summoned
before proper officers of the army
and asked whether they would in
tact fulfill their military obligations
by fighting against Germany anS
Austria in Europe. They all an
swered they would not.
Maudlin Explanation.
There was shutting on the part
OF some of the soldiers as to what
they meant by their answers, and
some longwinded rehnements were
undertaken to the effect that some
OF them were willing to fight Ger
mans and Austrians generally, but
would not fight their own relatives,
although they offered no explana-
ton OF the process by which they
were going to discover whether par
ticular Germans and Austrians
whom they were required to shoot
at from long range happened to be
related to them.
In one of the records the soldier
claims to have an uncle evidently
too old to be in the military service
of Austria whom he once saw, and
he had heard of ten or twelve other
relatives in Austria of whom he had
seen photographs, which must have
been OF a very persuasive character
since they aroused in him emotions
OF blood kinships strong enough to
overcome the obligations of his own
allegiance as an American citizen.
Were Full Citizens.
These men were full citizens of
the United Eta.es, most of them BY
the voluntary act OF naturalization.
They were full citizens in the sense
that they had equal rights and priv
ileges with all other citizens. They
have also equal responsibilities.
Among these duties and responsible
tiles is to protect the United States
against its enemies, domestic and
foreign. No right is extended to
naturalized citizen to pick and
choose"

ure, in the opinion of officials here,
The advances achieved in the initial
assault, necessarily the most pow
erful attack in any offensive, are so
limited as to indicate that the Aus
trians virtually had been halted in
their tracks.
Details received are meager. Moth
ing has come that will permit Of
ficers to form conclusions as to the
strategic plan the Austrian leaders
are following. There are indica
tions. however, that the blow was
struck more in an effort to offset
internal disturbances in Austria
