Boys. my advice to you is to keep
away from the railroad yards" stat
ed Judge Troup in juvenile court to

thorized persons on railroad right

ington Martin, l6-year-old colored
boy who was ordered to the state
industrial school at Kearney. The
boy was charged with stealing goods
from store where he had been EN-
ployed. He pleaded that an older
employee tempted him by showing
how easy it could be done. The
Judge stated that boy OF 10 should
know that it is wrong to steal. A
minute after the boy had been COM
mitted to Kearney, constable from
municipal court appeared with a
warrant against him on a more seri-
Gus charge.

MAY SET PRICE OF
BUTTER TO PREVENT
POSSIBLE COLLAPSE

Washington, Oct. Through the
appointment of a committee to in
vestigate the present situation as to
dairy products. the food administra-
ton announced tonight that first steps
had been taken to stabilize the butter
market.
Increased demands from the army,
navy and the Allies have produced a
temporary shortage of butter, the food
administration has been informed by
representatives Of the dairy interests.
With the increasing scarcity the
price of butter has risen steadily and
consumption by the civilian popula-
ton has decreased. These conditions,
dairymen have agreed, will sooner or
later produce a collapse in butter
prices possibly below the cost of pro-
duction. Dairymen have recommend
ed that when such a fall occurs gov
eminent purchases be used to support
the market at a reasonable level.

!. FORCED Up

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Pending fresh de-
velopments in regard to peace the
liquidation by holders of corn, seemed
today to- have largely exhausted itself.
Shorts covered freely and forced sub
stanttal upturns in values. When de-
mand from shorts had been satisfied,
however, support was lacking and a
bearish reaction ensued. Opening
prices which varied from the same
higher, with November s1.31 Ia to
1872 Ia. and December $1.29 to 1-2,
were. followed by slight additional
gains and then a break to we'll below
initial figures.
Oats swayed with corn. Trade was
Of only moderate volume. After OPP
ening a shade Off to 1-2 cent up, with
November 20 IL to ga, the market
underwent a moderate sag.
Provisions were neglected.
Consequently, bearish crop esti-
mates. together with progress in driv-
ing the Germans out of France and
Belgium, led to Increased selling and
for a while brought about pronounced
weakness. The close was unsettled,

Did you know that John Dicus was
in the army? l do not know mis-
address. l received the Xmas box
about three weeks ago and thank
you all for it. 1t sure was a big
treat.
"No, l did not get sea-sick on
the trip over. | felt fine and en-
joyed the voyage very much. We
had one high sea but the rest of
the time it was very tame. No, l
have no little French girl. / am out
of luck for / cannot speak French.
If they want to talk to me they
will have to talk English.
eyes, | would like to be back
in the United States and will be
next year-maybe. l don't believe
the weather is any worse there than
it is here. 1t has rained every day
for week now and is quite cold
would like to tell you about the
country but can't say much on ac-
count of the censorship, so will close
for this. time"
