Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-Correct antici- patton that the government crop re- port would have decidedly bulli5h aspect made the corn market today average high.
 Prices closed strong, 5-8 cents to 1 net advance, with Sept. 162 5-S 162 3-4 and Oct. 164 to 164 Is.
 Oats finished 5-Sc tc 7-8 cents up.
 In provisions the outcome varied from l2 to 15 cents decline to 25 cents advance.
 Despite good rain fall west and southwest and notwithstanding that temperatures were somewhat lower the corn market quickly took an upard swing.
 Strength appeared due altogether i to gossip current that big reductions were inevitable in the government es- inmates of probably yield as compared with a month ago.
 As matter of fact, the official re- port when made public after trading for the day had come to an end show ed much more radical cut than the gossip had suggested. Oats were ruled by the. action of corn.
 Trade as a whole was light. Record breaking prices in the hog market i tended to strengthen provisions. Ribs, though, were depressed by sales from dealers who simultaneous 1 ly were pulling lard.

AIaska's Great Frost Depth,


 The depth of permanently frozen soil in polar and subpolar regions is sub. ject of perennial interest, concerning which few data are available. In nu- merous excavations made in placer mining in Alaska the ground is per- manently frozen to great depths, be. ginning IS inches or feet below the surface.
 In the Klondike, according to the geological survey, the alluvium is fro. zen to depth of about 200 feet. At Fairbanks permanent ground frost has been found at many places to depth of more than 200 feet, and the deep est shaft there penetrated SIS feet of frozen alluvium. In Seward peninsula many holes in permanently frozen al- luvium are more than 75 feet deep and one is nearly POO feet deep.
 On the other hand, some ground in this region is not frozen, for reasons not understood. According to Dr. A. H. Brooks, when the moss is stripped from the soil the ground thaWs, and with open cut mining or cultivation the upper level of permanent ground frost seems gradually to descend. It is therefore believed that the ground frost is a survival of a climate colder than the present one and is preserved by the nonconducting mat of moss and other vegetation.-Scientific American

Alteration of Mosquitoes.

Some surprising facts regarding the migration of mosquitoes and other in- sccts have been discovered by Prof. S. c. Ball, who spent month at Re- becca Shoal lighthouse last summer. This lighthouse stands out in the ocean 12 nautical miles from the nearest land, which is Key West, Tortugas, while the nearest region on which any considerable number of mos ouitoes can breed is Marquesas Atoll' 24 miles distant to the eastward Freezes from the north and east brought mosquitoes to the lighthouse and in one casa strong southern wind brought them from Cuba, 90 miles away. Indeed, in some instances there was evidence that they were brought by favorable winds from even more distant points; perhaps from Tampa bay, 1S0 miles distant! House flies and various other insects were also captured at the lighthouse.-Scl' entific American.

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, Aug. 8.-It was an active market in cotton today with fairly wide fluctuations. Both active and below the level of yesterdays close.
 The opening saw continuation of the reactionary movement of yester- day but the favorable war news of the news gave the marking new buy. ing power on which it bulged strong ly.
 Later in the session general re- leasing arose among longs and the net change on the close was a rise of on- ly IS to 32 points.
 The dry weather map in the west ern belt, the forecast of more dry weather and extremely unfavorable crop accounts from many points in Texas were features that helped the market at the advance.
 This was only partially offset by receipts of new bales in Alabama and Mississippi and by claims that hedge selling against the new crop was being felt.
 Spot quiet and unchanged. Sales on the spot 284 to arrive 88. Low mid ding 25.OO; middling 28.7O; good mid ding. 30.75. Receipts 671 stock 280,- 492 v

REPORTS OF MARKETS Cs2TTON--GRAIN--LTVEGTOCK-
New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 8. A further de- cline at the opening of the cotton mar ket today was followed by rallies of approximately one cent a pound owing princlpally to unsatisfactory weather from the southwest.
 December contracts sold up from 2715 to 2S.25 and closed at 21.96 with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 19 to 32 points.
 There was renewal of yesterday 5 selling movement at the start.
 The showing of early weather maps rather encouraged the hope of better weather in Texas as some rain was reported at Amarillo and Oklahoma and there was a low barometer over west Texas.
 The offerings were readily absorb ed, however, and the market soon firmed up on covering which became mere active after the publication of the western belt forecast for fair weather in Texas.
 The report for the Houston district was also a disappointment to recent sellers, showing showers at only five points with maximum temperatures of 100 degrees or over at 25 points. Buying did not become really active CT aggressive, but offerings were light and the market was helped by the fa- vorabe view of the war news. Closing prices showed reactions on private reports of showers in one of the larger producing counties of Texas.
 There were further reports of spot offerings at an easier basis and some scattered southern selling was report ed around the ring.

WHY DO WE SAVE FOOD

"The real reason why we are TAX
ing all these food-control precautions
in Great Britain is not to protect the
civil population at all, but to see that
the allied armies at the front get
their full rations. / can imagine no
greater selfishness on the part of a
democracy than to eat its full while
it is allowing its soldiers in that
dreary land, in which they have been
for three years, to go short" So
spoke Lord Northcliffe some time
ago to the British people.
And that is the why of all this saw
ing of the concentrated foods in
America. There is a great need of
men in France. The men will have
to have food. Ships are scarce.
Those are the three facts which make
it imperative for the people Of this
democracy to substitute, as far as
possible, fruits and vegetables for
meat, sugar, butter and milk. Send
our boys what they need, Uncle Sam.
Take the foods you have room for in
your ships. Wen eat what's left

Farm Management
Specialist Coming

Due to the fact that many farmers
will be required to make a report to
the Government concerning their in
come for 1917 as basis for paying
an income tax, great interest is be-
ing manifest in keeping farm ac-
counts.
Every farmer should keep SIM
pie business record whether he pays
an income tax or not. In order to
help as many men work up their rec
ords for 1917 as possible and also
give information concerning the in
come tax, Mr.. H. Tagge, farm man
agement specialist from the Agricul-
tural College will be in the county
March 4, 5 and to assist Mr.. Chris
tie, our agricultural agent, hold
meetings Of instruction in these lines.
The meetings will be held as fol-
lows:
At the C. o. Davis farm, Pleasant
Valley, Monday, March a.
At Kismet, Tuesday, March b, at
public place.
At the Court House at Liberal,
Wednesday, March 6.
All the meetings will begin prompt
ly at 1 o'clock.
These instructions will be free to
any farmer who will attend.
The half day school will be well
worth the time and effort it will take
to attend it,
Come to whichever place is most
convenient. The books needed for
the work will be furnished free to
those attending.
No business man in town would
think of operating his business with
out keeping books. Why should
farmers do so? Here is an oppor-
tunity to get some help in this line.
How many will laval themselves OF
it?
