MINIS DulIulnE, , DIOdu 81.
After touching the peak Of the
year under the impulse of the Bull
garian surrender on Monday, the
average price of thirty industrial
stocks yesterday dropped nearly a
point. The decline was not the re-
| suit of any change in the general
opinion as to the Importance of the
news, nor of failure to grasp the
significance of the successes on the
West front; it was rather owing to
the disposition of traders. and pos
sibly in some cases of investors, to
realize the profits accruing from the
advance. But in it's general char
acter trading differed little from
that of the preceding session. The
discrimination in favor of what are
thought by some to be peace"
stocks and against the so-called
war" stocks was still in evidence,
only this time it was on a declining
market.
The trading opinion as to what
constitute war and peace stocks
cannot be accepted at face value
under present conditions. Owing to
artificial restraints, the market can
not be expected to discount coming
events as it would if it were not
arbitrarily restricted. The market is
not broad enough to allow of free ex-
preston, even in those cases where
there is sufficient information avail
able to permit definite classification.
For example, the large interests in
company might be convinced that
the value of their holdings would be
impaired by the restoration of peace
and yet be unable to market them
under present conditions. Many
difficulties lie in the way of classify
ing stocks; for one reason, because
it is impossible to gauge the post
war demand for commodities. There
are those who are strongly of the
opinion that the steel business will
slump Immediately after the war
and that prices will tumble stimuli
taneously. That may we'll be true,
but the other side is that the de-
mand for steel for reconstruction
may for time entirely make up for
the loss of war business, while re-
duced taxation will tend to neu-
tralize the effects of lower prices on
the profits available for distribution
to stockholders. And the situation
of steel producers does not differ in
essentials from many other indus
trial companies.
Exchange rates on neutral coun-
tries-that is to say, the value Of
neutral moneys in terms Of Ameri-
can currency-are becoming unusu-
ally sensitive to the war news
There were periods not long ago
when developments in the theatre
of war were received by this inter-
national market without response.
The fact that rates now are falling
so rapidly is therefore all the more
convincing as evidence that in neu-
trail financial circles the opinion is
held thnt the end Of the war is ap-
preaching and that the Allies will
be victorious. Yesterday, for exam
pie, exchange on Holland fell about
cent in this market, while rates on
Spain, the Scandinavian countries
and Switzerland touched the lowest
levels in months. Owners of bal
ances in these countries apparently
see in the developments Of the last
fortnight an earlier peace than any
one dared to hope for three months
ago. and are selling them as rapidly
as possible in order to take advan-
tage of present rates, which are

Not only is there a fDck of
poultry on nearly every farm in
the country, but in towns and
cities f0cks are not rare. With
the present high price of eggs
even a more general interest
should be taken in poultry rails
ing. Too frequently the home
flock consists of a mixture of
breeds. Pure-bred poultry are
more profitable.

OHIO DUMPING GROUND
For the Drinking Element From Dry
Indiana and Michigan.

Indiana and Michigan.
Columbus, Ohio.-Reports are COM
ing in from the western tier of Ohio
counties, showing that since Indiana
saloons are closed the wet towns of
western Ohio are being overrun with
undesirables who come across the line
in automobiles, drink to excess, and
cause all kinds CT disturbances. There
have been numerous automobile acci-
dents as a result, and in Mercer
County one man was killed and an
other seriously hurt in collision of
machines in which the Indiana occu-
pants were intoxicated. Arrests are
increasing in these border towns and
decreasing over the line in dry Indi-
ana.
Since Michigan became dry the first
of May, the thirsty of Detroit and
Monroe have been making Toledo
their Mecca, and that wet Ohio city is
seeing more drunkenness than ever
before. The voters on the Ohio side
believe their only hope lies in voting
the state dry in November. The in
aux of the saloon element of Indiana
and Michigan is making many dry
votes in Ohio.

MANY OPPORTUNITIES
OPEN FOR SPECIALISTS
IN WAR DEPARTMENT

There is a list of 137 occupa+
tions where the demand for men
in the War department constant
ly exceeds the supply.
A pressing need exists in the
army for men experienced in
handling mules, and before all
full needs are met a recruiting
campaign may become necessary.
No difficulty has been expert
enced in getting men who can
buy and handle horses, but
blacksmiths are scarce.
There is a constant demand for
butchers, and. cooks are greatly
needed. In several technical
branches, particularly the En-
gineers. men for the higher rOsi-
tons are plentiful. but the work
ers for the ranks are scarce. Ex-
perienced mechanics. especially
those familiar with automobiles,
are always in demand.

AMERICAN INFANTRYMAN

HAS ADVANTAGE IN
AMMUNITION EQUIPMENT
The American infantryman in
the Expeditionary Forces carries
220 rounds of ammunition in the
pockets of his light canvas webb
belt and his. bandoleers. The
German soldier has only 12O
rounds, and 80 of these are in his
knapsaek. To secure them at a
critical moment he must lose val
liable time.
The American webb belts. ac-
cording to the War department,
are far superior to the German
leather bandoleers. They are not
affected by prolonged rains nor
torrid weather. The manufac-
ture of these belts is one of the
most intricate of the operations
in the textile fields. u. S. Army
belts are made almost entirely of
cotton.
The exact weight of the 22O
rounds carried by the American
soldier in France is IL pounds.
With the Springfield rifle %
aimed shots can be fired each
minute. Firing from the hip 40
shots can be fired a minute. The

FOOD IS WASTED
IN MAKING BEER
This Waste Would Feed Entire

When Housewives Are Urged to Save
Crumbs and crusts. Thinking Peo-
ole Can Not Understand Why Brew
ers Sheulo Be Permitted 10 Waste
by the Millions Of 9ushels-PubIic
Sentiment Is For Stopping the
Waste oy Closing the 5reweries.
Washington. D. C.-The War Pro-
hibitlon Conservation Committee says
that foodstuffs used annually in the
production Of alcoholic beverages in
this country would supply the energy
requirements of 100000 men for a
year. This statement was certified to
by 7. N. Carver, Edmond N. Day,
William T. Ripley, and Edwin F. Gay,
Professors in the Department of Eco
nomILs in Harvard University, and
Irving Fisher, Professor of Political
Eyonomy in Yale University. The
findings of the committee were re-
viewed and certified to by Walter B.
Cannon and P. G. Stiles, Professors
of Physiology in the Harvard Uni
yersity.
Now come the brewers in their 1917
Year Book, and while attempting to
discredit the above named well-known
men. admit that they use foodstuffs
annually as follows:
Pounds
Corn 846 6,574, ,527
Barley (malt) .................l ,961 ,254 $50
Rice 141 ,249,292
Total ,949 ,249 ,292
They further admit that "the actual
food loss is only sufficient for the
energy requirement of 100000 men,"
In other words, the brewers, in
their official Year Book, admit they
are wasting enough foodstuffs each
year to supply the energy require
ments of the entire American army
now in France and in the canton
ments of this country.
The government is sending out bull
letins every day, urging the people to
conserve the food supply. Housewives
are appealed to at every turn to Savei
Save! Save! On every hand the peo-
pie are face to face with the necessity
not to waste the smallest BIT of their
food supply because it is needed for
our army and the armies of our al
lies, as we'll as for a hungry world.
And yet the brewers admit they are
using enough grain each year to sup
ply our armies at home and abroad.
Not only is this supply wasted, but
it is worse than wasted, for made into
beer it reduces the efficiency of those
who drink, renders young men unfit
for military service, and adds to the
distress and unhappiness of the peo-
pie, while because of the crime and
misery it produces it increases the
burden of the taxpayer.
1t is believed that when Ohio fully
realizes how the brewers are wasting
food, the voters will decide to put
them out of business next November.
1t is considered patriotic to be against
the liquor traffic.

This decrease is enormous and is ex-
