JEWISH LABORERS BARRED
FROM GERMANY.

The Hague, Aug. 12.-Announce-
ment of the decision of the Prussian
foreign minister that Jewish labor
ers will not be admitted to Germany
from the east has caused great re-
sentiment in all Jewish circles, espe
cially Austria, according to the Jew
ish correspondence bureau. The
Vienna Morgen Zeitung, a Jewish
paper, says this decision is of far
reaching Importance to Austrian
Jews. 1t adds:
"The Jews were supporters of the
Austro-German alliance, but now
must alter their opinion regarding
Austria's foreign policy. Germany
does not permit Jews to cross her
eastern frontier Russia, on the
other hand has abolished all laws
placing limitations on Jews. 1t is
clear which side enlists our SYM
pathy. Germany is the only
European state which wishes to
drive out Jews"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
also expressed his best wishes, and
stated in the telegram to the Pale
slime Commission that he considers
the Hebrew university an import
ant contribution to the worlds prog
reSS.

The Local committee has been
working hard the past week on the
War Saving Stamp drive. Stamps
are now on sale at every business
place in the village, and it is a pat
riotic duty which every man, woman
and child owes the government to
buy just as many of them just as
often as they possibly can. 1t is not
donation but rather an investment
loan to the government. Remem-
ber that the government must have
the money, if we are to win this war.
Attorney Clarence Darrow of Chi
cago arrived in Paw Paw on schedule
time for the hearing of a case in Pro-
bate court as announced in The True
Northerner last week. The case in
which he was interested was not
| finished, and will be taken up at a
later date. Mr.. Darrow has gained
nation wide prominence. He is at
torney for the labor unions in all
their big cases, and defended the
dynamiters who were convicted of
blowing up the Times building in
Los Angeles some years ago. He is
also a writer Of some note. On
account of his prominence, Mr.. Dar-
row was invited to address the local
schools, and many patrons availed
themselves of the opportunity of
hearing him.. His remarks were not
particularly pleasing to many of
those who heard him. His thoughts
were so far in advance of the present
time, that the wisdom of advancing
them to an audience of high school
students is questionable. Practically
every subject now taught in the
public school with the exception of
reading, which Mr.. Darrow approves)
is either foolish or a relic of the in
QUESTION. according to his theory
Such line of thought coming from
man of Mr.. Darrow's prominence
and ability, certainly is not conduc-
i've to contented enthusiasm and pro-
gress in the school room. Mr.. Dar-
row should have been a little more
careful ir the collection of his
thoughts for this particular occasion

New Orleans, August 26.-The weather map presents favorable conditions-falr fin North Carolina. northwest and central Texas and Oklahoma; generally cloudy rest of belt. Good rains occurred in east, central and south Texas, and in sdme Carolina districts, and some scattered showers elsewhere. Texas messages show general satisfaction over the recent rains but show waiting attitude with regard to their actual benefit, which, of course depends on frost dates.

 The market lost about 60 points in the early trading selling orders over Sunday, partly baaed on Saturdays reactiona-y move, but mostly on the Texas rains. Support developed strong on the recss. sion, and the loss was recovered prompt ly. Apprehension over storm possibilities. bullish private condition forecasts. htg.i spot quotations, too much discount in futures. and a better contract situation formed the basis for bull action.

 Lard and Ribs

Chicago, August 26.-The corn market which early was Sc under the point established last Wednesday, closed with a net gain of 2x cents today. There was some selling at the outset on some crop improvement because of rains, and on heavy receipts, but this operation un- covered resting orders. Leaders who sold last week were observed to be buy ing. and shorts. covering, ran the price up. The close was strong with October at 1874.
 Information that the government had purchased So0,0o0 bushels of oats here last Saturday explained the stubborn ness of that market at the time, and coupled with the corn strength today, sent the market up for net gain of A O 1c. October. closing at TX cents made the maximum gain. This was in the face of visible increase, heavy re- ceipts and decline of + o cent in the sample market. Standard grades sold at the September price, and number while 1c under it.
 In the provision pit, pork declined l5 O 20 cents for lack of demand, but lard an rihs influenced by the corn strength, were bid up 1216 O 171a cents, largely be- cause offerings were light. The week S export of lard and meats was ma terially in excess of last year.

York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. August 26.--While the cotton market was materially lower around the opening today, the de- cline did not last long. Anticipation of a bullish government report on the condition of the, growing crop stimu- lated the demand, the early losses were recovered and replaced by wide advance which, toward the end, amounted to 37 to CA points over Sat- urdays close. Last prices showed net gains of B to 42 points. At the lowest of the day the active months were 52 to II points down, compared with Sat urday's final prices. From the lowest to the highest there was a, rise of a little more than a cent a pound.
 Texas rains and claims that the long drouth in that state had been effect ually broken, were the main reasons
 for the early selling. The market had none too good a tone around the opening but a private bureau report on condition of only 59.9 gave the bulls a new argument. The continued favorable war news was also an in-
 fluence working for higher values Rains in Texas brought out the claim that the crop of that state would be Increased in consequence, but builish traders pointed out that what was be- ing put on in the way of fruit by the plant was more than ordinarily sus-. ceptible to frost damage
 Late in the day the market made something of a display of the same nervous strength which caused such wild advances last week, prices mount ing swiftly on a ring bare of con tracts.

SPEC|ALT|ES GO iF0R NEW MAX|MUMS Steel's Turnover Aggregat- ed One-third of Total to
 the Last Hour

New York August 26.-Investment rails and industrials of the more rep resentative type registered new max imums for the year in today's stock market, a few specialties mounting to highest quotations in their history.
 Gains were indifferently maintained, } however, profit taking and pressure from professional sources combining to effect general, though moderate, de- clines later.
 Foreign news was in keeping with recent stimulating war advices and domestic developments in their rela- tion to commerce and industry de- noted no cessation of high pressure in leading essentials. M
 Western railroad tonnage was ahead of the corresponding period last year, mainly in the movement of cereals, trade conditions in the west and south west bespoke greater confidence and new financial offerings were readily absorbed by investors.
 The local money market was con- fusing, despite last weeks arrange nent to stabilize call 1oans.-So far as 1t made any offerings, the money poQi held at per cent, but banks and banking houses announced call rate at 4h per cent on bank acceptances.
 United States Steel. Union Pacffiic and Canadian Pacific embraced the more prominent shares at new high levels of the year, but reacted to ? points before noon. SteePs turnover aggregated almost one-third of the total up to the last hour.

RALLIES FOLLOW
 COTTON DECLINE
One Private Report Places Condition at 59.9, Com
 pared to 79 Last Month

New York, August 26.-An early decline news was followed by sharp rallies Oc- tober sold up from 32 COG to 33 soc and closed at 8 .60c with the general list clos ing barely steady at a netladvance ot 50 to 60 points.
 There was renewal of Saturday $ selling movement from the start and the opening was unchanged to 43 points low CT, with active months selling. 70 to x points under last weeks final tigur,s on or right after the call. Thi., made a break of 1s5 to 2so points from the high records of last Friday, but there seemed to be much conflict of opinion as to whether the southwestern rains had been in time to materially help condition fig ures. One of these reports was published early, placing the condition at 5s.9, com pared with 79 last month, and this helped to check the early break. There was also some disappointment over the vest ern belt forecast for fair weather and while fluctuations during the middle of the day was irregular the market showed increased firmness during the aft ernoon on covering and little trade buying. December sold up from 32 10c to .35c and January from 32 10c to lie with active months generally showing net gains of 75 to S1 points. The ad- vance was checked at this level by re- newed realizing and the close showed reacionss of some 90 to B points from the best. Detailed weather reports showed that rains had been pretty well distributed west of the river, particu- larly inS Oklahoma.
 Liverpool bought at the start but sold later and general business was not ac- tive Local spot brokers said they were getting inquiries from eastern mills, but claimed little actual business from that source and the orders received here from the south were said to be almost en- tirely from New Orleans sources.

There was a pronounced diminution of activity, however, and sharp setback in liberty bonds, the 351s re:tctinE to 102Q.
