Prices of Hogs and Flour Drop OF
the Kansa City Market.

Kansas City, August 5.-The
wholesale price of flour dropped six
ty cents barrel and hog prices fell
from seventy-fiVe cents to a dollar q
hundred in Kansas City today.
The reduction in flour, millers
said, was a result of the proposal of
the government to take over the
wheat at the guaranteed price and re-
sell at lower figure.
The reduction in hogs was caused
by the possibility Of strikes resulting
in a general railway tie-up, and by
the impending legislation TO reduce
the cost of living.
There was a sharp decline in corn,
too, at the close of today, of from
five to eight and three-quarter cents
a bushel on September deliveries.
September corn closed today at $1.74
Ia a bushel. December corn dropped
six cents, from $I.48 Ia yesterday to
$I.42 IL, today's closing price.
Top quotations on hogs on the
Kansas City market yesterday were
$23.I5 hundred pounds. Today the
high mark was $22.2s. However,
packers did not pay more than $2z.
Today's is the largest single days
decline on record at the yards here.

some friends southeast of town and
that was the last seen of him alive.
Coroner c. J. Allen was notified
and went to Maysburg Sunday morn.
ing where he summoned jury and
held an inquest. The jury returned
a verdict that Getz came to his death
from sudden attack of heart fail
ure.
Mr.. Getz was raised in the vicinity
of Maysburg, where he has many
friends who received the news of his
sudden death with the deepest re-
greet. He was yousg man of fine
character and his death just on the
threshold of useful life was deeply
mourned by the entire community;
He had only recently been released
from the army and returned to his
home.

Profiteers Hoarding Sugar.

Chicago, Aug. 6-Profiteering
sugar brokers-declared to be OUT
siders in the trade-are boarding
sugar for . 3-cent a pound boost and
attempting to mu1ct housewives of
the extra pennies during the canning
season. They expect them to pay IS
cents pound.
Indisputable proof of this gouging
was revealed today by . wholesale
dealer, who refuses to deal with the
profiteers.
Profiteers are partly responsible
for the diminished supply of sugar
in the market and are boarding it to
force housewives to meet the adj
vanced prices. Such conditions were
revealed in New York, where it is de-
clared they are holding ont for IS
cents for their hidden supplies.

Washington, August Tie war
time prohibition enforcement I'M re
Gently passed by the House and row
pending before Senate Committee,
is Unconstitutional. according ~ an
opinion by Elihu Root, Willia6h D.
Guthrie and William MAtbiiry,
counsel for the United States 8sew-
ers' Association, made public today.
This opinion holds that until the
eighteenth amendment becofnGSSef-
fective on January 16, 1920, Congress
under well-settled rules of conetitu-
tional law, "has no express power to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
beer, whether or not Intoxicating. +"
There is now no valid reason for the
wartime prohibition act, the lawyers
declare, and there is no evidence,
they add, to support the claim that
the proposed enforcement measure is
necessary or proper to conserve the
nations food supply. yS'
The opinion, an exhaustive docu-
1nent dealing with all legal phases of
the question, was sent to Christian
M. Feigenspan, president Of the

rangements as are necessary for the
