Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare to them. By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-We can

can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.

learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Com 1t is the true American
food. The Indians hardest Of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent For great section of country it

dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable. It's bread.
It's dessert It's nutritious; food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat eggs most other

know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La., Oct. 30-Deter- mined selling pressure was eXerted against cotton today and a material decline ensued in the face of eXtre- mely heavy rains in the central and eastern portions of the belt and the threat of frost tonight in the western portion. /
 The basis of the selling which, ae- cording to floor comment, was of the organized sort, appeared to be the theory that peace would bring low CT market.
 Around the opening prices were 15 to IS points up on the weather map. Last prices were at net losses of 70 to 93 points.
 Rains of as mucha six inches were reported in some sections of the belt and they came on top of the com plaint in the weekly crop returns from the government that excessive rains already had caused damage to open cotton.
 Only moderate reactions from the decline occurred once the downward movement really started.
 Cotton closed steady at a decline of 70 to S3 DOintS

 Reports of Cotton, Grain and

NEW YORK COTTON.
'ilIll!ll1lIIIIIliiI,uliIlulIHIIIllllr1lll,IIi

New York, Oct. 30.-The cotton lQarket showed renewed weakness to- day and more rapid decline in prices, with January contracts selling off from 29.10 to 2S.00 and closing at 28.19 and the general list closing steady at a net decline of 50 to S5 points.
 There was some scattered covering at the start, owing to reports of heavp rains in the eastern belt, which were considered likely to lower grades or perhaps beat out cotton. The opening was steady at a de- cline of 3 points to an advance of 16 points, and active months sold about 61 points net higher right after the call, with December touching 29.49 and March 28.56.
 The scattering demand was soon supplied, however, and the market turned easier under Liverpool. Wall street and local selling. As prices
 worked off the offerings seemed to
 become more active or aggressive and there was also some selling for south ern account on the break, which eX- tended to 2S.66 for December and 27.61 for March, or 69 to 89 points
 net lower during the middle of the afternoon.
 This made break of over S10 pel bale from the high price of Monday
 morning and aJnuary contracts solo 9.35 points below the high records oi
 early September.
 There was enough covering to checl
 the decline at this level and cause rallies of a few points in the late trading.

The fate of the captain and seven of the Clcw was not known by those who reached this port
 The mate and ten mon arriving here were suffering from the eff fects of fifteen days of exposure while in their small boats. They had had sufficient food but it was giv- ing out at the time the naval vessel sighted them.
 The Stifinder. LAC tons gross, was halted by the U-boat about 1000 miles east of New York Some Of tiie submarines crew came aboard with bombs and the NorweiSians were ordered to take to life boats They were given time to obtain food and belongings The captain and seven men entered one of the small beats and it is not knOWnS here whether they perished or were plcHen UP and are on their way to some port

CHICAG OCEANS.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Corn rapidly de- clined in value today under liquida- tion due to the new german and Aus trian notes received in Washington.
 Prices closed nervous 1-2 to 1-4 cents net lower with November $11 5-8 to IF 3-4 and December IA 7-8 to 115.
 Oats finished 13-8 ao 1 7-8 cents down and provisions odf 25 cents to $1.37.
 Unloading by scattered holders de- pressed the corn market throughou. the day, and about the only demand of importance came from shorts. ke- ports touching the diplomatic and military outlook nearly monopolized attention, and were interpreted by the great majority of traders as of de- cided bearish significance.
 The fact that month-end adjust ments of trades was in progress tended in a general manner to deprive the market of support, as did a fore cast of good weather for the rest of the week.
 Oats gave way with corn.
 Exporters were still out of theAnar- ket and domestic demand was slok. Weakness in the hog market agAwell as in grain caused provisions tt tumble.
 Pork especially made sharp es cent.

COAL PRICES TO DROP
Extent of the Reduction Will Be
Worked Out Soon.
Bituminous Variety Will Be Made
Cheaper, According to Fuel
Administrator.

Washington, May PAS result
of an agreement by which the rail-
roads will pay the standard price,
reduction of the government fixed
price of bituminous coal will be or
dered by the Fuel administration
soon. 81
~ The agreement was reached by Fuel
administrator Garfield and Director
General McAdoo.
The amount of the reduction is to
be worked out at further conferences
between heads of the two adminiztra-
tiOns.
The attitude of the Railroad ad'
ministration was understood to be that
the maximum should be in the neigh
borhood of 1925 a ton. This is 35 or
40 cents below the present general
average of government prices for BIZ
LUMINOUS coal at the mines.
The railroad administration has also
agreed to distribute cars evenly
among all mines, abandoning the
practice under private management
of furnishing 100 per cent supply
to mines turning out railroad coal,
and cutting the supply to other mines.
This arrangement is expected to re-
suit in greater production.

War Departments Request Is
Granted BY House Military
Affairs Committee.
Bill IS REPORTED OUT
Secretary Baker Declares That World
10 Given Notice the Complete
Manpower Of America Is Mort
gagged fog Successful War.

Z Washington, May 25.-The house.
Military Affairs committee has grant
ed Secretary of War Baker unlimited
power to draft men within the ages
prescribed by the selective service
act. =.
The committee adopted an amend
:ment to the military bill allowing the
president to take any number of men
in any fiscal year under the. present
draft law, observing the order of class
ification. -
The complete bill was reported out,
carrying an appropriation of $685.
129,319.44 in cash; -$2,464,416,451 in
authorizations; and a sum estimated
at just in excess of $1,000, 100000 for
signal corps and aircraft, total Of
$12,O33, 545,822.14.
Secretary Baker won notably easy
victory in gaining authority to draft
an unlimited number of men. He was
before the committee only 10 minutes
urging it. H..
Notice to World, He Says.
When Mr. Baker came out of the
committee room he said:
"This is notice to the world that
the complete manpower of America
Is mortgaged to the successful prose-
cution of the war. It is a signal that
Congress and the people stand firmly
for President Wilson's prosecution of
the war, embodying as it does the
use of as many men as are essential
to victory" .
At the War department after his
return from the capitol, Secretary
Baker made the following statement:
IT have been down to the House
appropriations committee on the ques.
ton of the appropriations bill for
1888. The only question remaining
under consideration in the House Is
the question Of the size of the army
The question is whether to put limit
on it, and if so, what limit. I urged
the committee to put no limit: but to
authorize the President, in the terms
granted him by the act of May 18,
1917, to use such number as he found
it possible to organize, train and
equip so as to bring the war to a
successful conclusion.
No Change in Draft Age.
1.-THE committee seemed to be- very
generous in their consideration of the
suggestion, and It rather looked as
though that was the way it wished
the thing would be: done.
"They asked at the House commit
tee meeting whether I had prepared
any change in the draft age, and I
said I had not.
"The subject of using men in in.
dustrial pursuits was not mentioned"
The committee report was unani-
nous. Chairman Dent, who previ-
ously had said he would support no
Indefinite: items or powers" changed
his mind and will lead the fight for
the bill on the floor.
A campaign is under way by COM
mittee members to have the House
vote unanimously for the measure. It
will come up in the next day or so
and hold preferred place on the cal
endar until passed. -.
Chairman Dent said that he knew
of not one individual who would op-
pose or delay its passage.
