FoREsEEs DROP IN WHEAT.
Sir James Wilson Takes Optimistic
View Tor British Public.


Special pespstoA TO Tup sur,
LrvERrooL, Aug. 20, - Broomhalrs
Corn Trade Ns,os says.
Sir James Wilson, X. c. s. l., Of Edin-
burgh. In an article on the Probable
Future Price OF British Wheat. says
the United Kingdom Is certain 70 con-
tinue to be a larger importer Of wheat,
and he considers that the payment of a
subsidy TO the farmer will not have
much effect upon the selling price OF
wheat In the United Kingdom except
in SO far AZ Il reduces tho demand for
wheat from abroad, and therefore tends
to lower tho worlds price Of wheat. He
looks for the electors OF the United
Kingdom 10 stop the subsidy when the
term for which the present Parliament
may grant o subsidy 10 the grower has
United Kingdom will then depend a.
before the war on the worlds price OF
wheat and the cost of transport.
Sir James looks for great improve-
ment In transport at an early date and
a reduction In the average charge for
bringing a quarter of wheat 70 this coun-
try until It reaches shillings quar-
ter. He expects the cost Of transport
by land to be not much higher than II
was before the war, while extensions anu
improvements OF Communication by call
and water are likely to 60 on rapidly
and to bring much larger areas of land
capable of growing wheat within reach
Of the worlds market.
There Is, therefore. he says, likely 70
be a rapid increase in the area put un-
der wheat in number OF exporting
countries, such as Canada, the Argentine,
India, Australia and Russia, 1t also
seems probable that owing to the intro.
duction of more scientific methods OF
cultivation and the extension Of irriga-
tion, the average outturn Of wheat per
acre in many countries will be appre-
ciably increased. 80 that soon after peace
conditions have been thoroughly re-
stored there will be q great and grow
ing increase in the worlds total yield
of wheat which will tend 20 a reduction
in the worlds price.
On the other hand, as the material
prosperity of the world increases there
Is likely to be an increase in the con-
sumption of wheat per head. as well as
In the number OF the wheat eating popu-
lation. But already before the war a
large proportion of that part of the pop
ulation of the world which is likely to
deyelop the taste for wheat was In a
position to obtain nearly as much wheat
as 1t required.

Barring OF HOARDED
FOOD TUMBLES CORN
Prices Drop 3 1-2 to 6 3-4
Cents, Texas Offerings Add
ing to Softness.
WEAKNESS IN OATS TOO
Pork Falls $1.05 O Barrel,
While Lard and Ribs Also
Show Declines.

Corn prices broke sharply yesterday
because of q general besrish sentiment
Prices declined az to en- cents. Sep
tember being the weakest. a. the in
creased offerings Of new Texas corn re-
hected a softness in the cash position.
The vncovering of large quantities Of
hoarded foodstuffs had a depressing
effect on the trade. The turn in the for
eign exchange market also caused some
selling.
Weather conditions were generally
good. and although the drought con-
tinues in the Southwest predictions were
for thunderstorms over the week end,
Many believed. however. that the crop
has been made. The traders figure on
about 1900. .00o, 900 bushels,
Oats weakened with other grain
and on the lack of export trade.
Receipts were only fair. The many
complaints of light weight crop re-
ceived little attention, the general SEN
timent being bearish. While some of
the largest holders have sold many 9TH
ers are standing pat. believing that
the cereal will see higher prices. The
large visible supply with the absence
of foreign business Is keeping prices
down.
Provisions after firm opening fol-
lowed grain and sold down. Pork de-
cllned S1.o5 barrel, while lard and
ribs were soft.

MORE LAMBS THAN LAST YEAR
July Receipts at Chicago Yards
Set New Record.

July receipts of 457.61s sheep and
that month at the Chicago Union Stock
Yards, exceeding by 1906 animals the
former record OF July. 1912, according
TO the United States Department OF
Agriculture. This years run exceeds
that of July. 1913. by 117.277 animals.
The increase is attributed to the mild
weather and favorable spring. which re-
suited In an increase in the number of
marketable lambs and also to the fact
that earlier lambing and marketing are
heing practiced. Drought conditions in
the Northwest range district ard the
late start of Tennessee and Kentucky
lnmbs Iaarketward also were factors in
swelling the July receipts.

that foreign exchange must be stabilized
In some way in order to encourage any
important foreign demand, or freight
rates must be materially reduced. II Is
generally conceded. however, that the
foreign Governments are not anxious to
stabilize exchange In order to cut down
imports, although on the
other hand there are many who contend
that Europe's urgent wants must be sup
piled, no matter what the condition OF

RED CROSS SERVICE INSIGNIA

Some few weeks ago The Patriot printed a news story stating that Red Cross workers were to be awarded service badges upon the completion of a stipulated number of hours of Red Cross work Such work could be done in any branch of the organ ization's activities: sewing, knitting, refugee garment work, canvassing, eanteen, etc.
 In order that women may have some standard upon which to base time they are entitled to for knitted work done, the local committee now announces the following schdule. One sweater is counted as 40 hours; socks, 36 hours; muff1ers, IS; helmet, 24; wristlets, 6; bed socks, 12; afghans, 50.

daughters Dr. and Mrs. TourteIlotte conceived the idea of giving the town of Thompson a fine new high school building to be erected on hill half way between the two villages. This was in 1906 and in September. 1909. the beautiful new building was fitting ly dedicated,
 At the time of the dedication Dr. Tourtellotte was unable to be present on account of illness. He died Sept 10, 1912, and was buried in Winona.
 Mrs. Tourtellotte carried out oth- CT plans for memorials and other phil anthropic work. She has been heard to say that when she died she hoped only to have enough of her vast fer tune left to bury her Another of Mrs Tourtellotte's benefieenees Is the fine Tourtellotte Memorial Dea- connesses Home in Minneapolis, which was erected at cost of $780, 900 and is endowed
 In 1917 Mrs, Tourtellotte inform ed the officers of the Putnam Gene tery Association that she intended erecting a memorial chapel to her fla ther and mother in Grove street cem- etery, where her parents are buried. The Patriot in it's issue of September 2Sth carried an exclusive story an- nouneing the proposed building of the chapel and stating at that time that on account of conditions and the ex- traordinary high cost of material the building would not be erected at once. It Was the expressed desire of Mrs. Tourtellotte to see the memorial fin- ished in her lifetime, and it was sx- pected that work would soon be be- gun on it. What effect Mrs. Tourtea- lotte's death will have on the erection of the building is not definitely known. She had stated to close friends in Putnam that she had set aside a certain sum for the erection of the memorial and that it would be erected even though she died before the work was begun.
 Mrs. Tourtellotte's death came n surprise, as it was not known that she was i'll. No details of her death have been received. Newton A. Bal lard will leave Putnam this Friday night for Jacksonville, as it was MS. Tourtellotte's wish that he should have charge of the funeral arrange ments. He will accompany the body to Minnesota.
 Mrs. Tourtellotte will be buried In Winona beside her husband.

NEW SYNAGOGUE
 DEDICATED
Hebrews of Putnam Now Have Fine Place b Hold Religious
 Services
Large Congregation In Attendance
 Last Sunday

Last Sunday was Purim Sunday, a Hebrew holiday i'll commemoration of the deliverance of the Jews from the machinations of Haman. The Con gregation of the Sons of Zion took the opportunity to dedicate their new synagogue on Main street. The prop erty, purchased some months ago, has been painted, renovated and fitted up with electric lights, an altar and all of the necessary fittings to make it as fine a place to hold religious services as any congregation of Hebrews has in eastern Connecticut
 It was joyous day for the He brews of Putnam and surrounding towns, whose generous contributions made tte new synagogue possibil- ity. The dedieatory services were conducted by the Rev J. Lamonowits, who has labored faithfully among his people toward the end of having their own place of worship ever since he came to Putnam. No longer do the Hebrews have to depend upon hiring halls. They now have their own home and they have expended some s5.000 to make it attractive and con venient.
 The committee that had charge of procuring the synagogue was Louis Wolf, S. Diamond and S Kaminsky.
