sY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Heaviness prevailed in the stock market today after a firm opening, prices soon yielding on light offerings. Pressure was not confined to any particular group, oils and other recent strong favorites displaying reactionary ten dencies.
 United States Steel backed and filled within a fractional radius, but independent steels broke more se- verely with the related equipments
 Coppers were temporarily strength ened by announcement of the organi- zation of a new export company hay ing for it's main object the stabiliza- tion of that industry, but failed to retain their moderate gains. Tobac- cos, feathers, sugars and utilities were included among the other irregular to heavy issues. Sales amounted toi 350,000 shares.
 The one encouraging feature of the session was a drop in call money to per cent, the ruling rate, however, apparently was A per cent. Deal ings in foreign exchange were at low ebb, neutral remittances, especially to Stockholm and Switzerland. show ing more firmness.
 Conditions in the bond market were mixed, international issues, notably Anglo-French 5s duplicating the years best at 97, while Liberty isues sagged under the further weakness of fourth 4As, which made a low record at S95.40. Total sales, par value, az gregated S10,S75,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

LEARN BEST FARM METHODS
Modern Principles of Agriculture Be-
ing InstiIIed Into the Youth of
Our Ally Italy.

The use of scientific farming meth
DDS is spreading and developing in
Italy; the eliminating of waste and
the replacing OF the Old-fashiOned de-
vices is becoming a fact in the fertile
land south OF the Alps. One of the
most useful agencies for popularfzing
these modern methods are agricultural
institutions where boys are taught the
principles of modern farming.
The department OF civil affairs OF
the American Red Cross has recently
given material assistance to one OF
these schools of agriculture estab-
lished by the Salesian Fathers in the
fields just outside the POrta Furba, one
of the historic gateways of Rome This
assistance has been conveyed through
an Italian organization, engaged in
work similar to that carried on by the
A r. G. and known as the "Comitato
pc gil Orfani de COnstadini MOrti in
Guerra The boys OF the school, all
orphans Of peasant soldiers, are given
training in scientific and practical
farming, the object being to strengthen
their attachment to the soil, also 10
convert them into good and intelligent
farmers. Lectures and classroom in
StructiOn are accompanied by field
work with modern tools, under the di-
rect supervision Of the younger IA
Tiers OF the institution, who work side
by side with the boys in the fields,
teaching and demonstrating.

HENS CROWD MARKET

The poultry market is overcrowded
and as result prices are poorer than
they ordinarily ought to be. Prices
are sure to rise later in the winter.
according to investigation made by
government farm experts.
Producers may assist in improving
the poultry market, which in some
cases has fallen below til, probable
cost Of production, by selling only
such stock as is well developed and
of good quality. The Food Admins
tration asks pOultrymen particular
ly:
To withhold from market immature
chickens and moulting hens.
To keep chickens that are still grow
ing until they reach maturity.
To keep all laying hens and the
best pullets.
To extend the normal period of fall
marketing so that 1t will extend into
the winter.

BROKE 1920 RULE.

The Nusz Mil of Industry, naer
Abilene, failed to observe all the reg
ulations of the Food Administration
and as a result was asked to pay 5000
to the Red Cross as guarantee Of
patriotism. The money was paid.
The mill violated the 1920 rule which
requires that dealers must sell one
pound of substitutes with each four
pounds of flour.
In the case of exchange grinding a
mill is required to have the farmer
who exchanges wheat for flour with
out buying substitutes, sign a pledge
that he viii get the substitutes else
where and viii mix those substitutes
in the flour before baking breed. The
Nusz Mil failed to require the sign
ing of that pledge.

BARLEY & BREWING SITUATION

With the closing Of b-eweries in
the United States after December l.
any temporary dislocation in the bar
ley market should cause producers
little concern.
Barley is good as human food and
also for livestock
When barley is to be fed livestock
the grain should be crushed. Owing
to the hard exterior Of barley ker-
nels, farm animals 90 not otherwise
secure the greatest nourishment
from the whole grain. This years
crop should assist materially in re-
lieving the feed situation and the
high level of prices for animal pro
ducts makes the feeding of barley in
excess of market demands both prof
iJaLie and patriotic.

'.The best letter of recommendation
that I could receive for a young man
would be one written by himself in
which each and every word. including
his signature. was absolutely legible
and clear, the signature being Of es-
pecial importance An older man
might perhaps be pardoned for slur-
ring his signature; a famous man
might write a signature that was
quite undecipherable IN itself, but
that was known because II was assO-
ciated with him in the public mind.
but young man or a man publicly
unknown should write his name so
that it can be read
San absolutely clear signature
means that the writer OF II likes his
Own name and is ready TO stand back
Of 1t and that he wants you to know
it without possibility Of mistake.
''When I see a signature like that
I feel that the writer OF IT is stand
ing up ike a man and looking me
fair and square in the eye. I feel that
I know where TO find him and that
1 can trust him. A young man could
have very few characteristics or hab-
its more helpful to him than that OF
writing an absolutely plain sigma

SUGAR RULE RELAXED.

The Food Administrator announces
that sugar is more plentiful than It
has been.
Dealers may sell sugar on the
basis of three pounds per person per
month. They also may sell a full
months supply to a household based
on three pounds per person, includ-
ing hired men.
For several months the supply was
so short that only two pounds could
be sold at time to city consumers
and five pounds to country consum-
ers. This rule is changed.
