The market closed strong. 3-S to ! 1-4c net higher with De crmber 1.29 3-S to .2s 7-s and May 25 l-4 to .25 3-S. Oats finished 1-Sc to l-2c np and provisions varying from l-2c decline to Jc advance.
 Misgiyings on the part of shorts in the corn trade were emphasize by assertions in some quarters that farm commodities had of late dropped to point probably below the real cost of production. shorts who tried to cover found offerings light and the market ran up sharply, September in particular during the rush that ensued to close out open trades.

Hospital Memorial To Americans Who
 Died at Cantigny

Paris, Aug. 30.-(By MaiD-The memory of the American soldiers who fell at Cantigny is to be perpetu- ated at Montdidier by the establish ment of a municipal hospital con- structed from American Red Cross barracks. Over the entrance to the administration building will be an in- scription reading: Gift of the Amer ican Red Cross to the Town of Mont didier. In Memory of the American Soldiers Who Fell at Cantigny.
 Cantigny, in the valley below Montdidier, was the first American battlefield in France. In the begin ming of the allied advance last sum- mer, the Americans captured Can tigny against tremendous odds, ad- vancing further than any other troops in taking it.
 Many Americans lie buried on the hillsdes about the town. The French country people are keeping the graves green, many of the families having adopted" American graves.
 In the country surrounding Mont didier, the soldier-peasant is return ing to the soil. Crops are growing where in January there were hun dleds of shell holes, dugouts and trenches. Nearly half of the devas- tated fields in the district have been reclaimed But while this has been going on the villages have in large measure been neglected. Social life, however, is being rapidly restored Churches and schools are springing. ur everywhere and in many cases Red Cross barracks are serving for this purpose. = Despite the fact that their homes are cellars and dugouts, the people are cheerful and never fail to express their gratitude and appreciation tol , what America has done for them.

Plan Way to Cut
 Forces When Big
 Orders Are Ready

Chicago, Sept. 22-How the great American corporations may meet new problem-t that of scientific reduc- tion of working forces with business conditions make that necessary-Was indicated today by Charles F. Wlllls of the Phelps Dodge Corporation, speaking before the fifth Nationla Exposition of the Chemical Industries today.
 He told how the Phelps Dodge com pany has classified all of its em- ployees in the copper mining districts so that forces were reduced With the cancellation of war contracts and the accumulation of large copper stocks, without entailing unrest or resulting in hardship to the men or then fam- flies.
 A welfare committee of nine em- ployees, working with officers o1 the companies, divided the men into hVe classiications, as follows:
 All employees in the service of the company more than two years, who have dependents and who are cltlzens of the United tSates.
 All soldiers, sailors and marines who have been employed after dls- charge.
 Employees who have worked contn- uously for more than two years Wno are without local dependents. , Men employed less than eighteen months who have dependents and clt- izenship.

 I found that handsome as he was in his swimming suit, which set off his athletic figure to great advantage, MT Hayes was even more striking Tn formal attire Never to this day have I seen a man wear his clothes so we'll, In dress suit he is magnificent.
 l also found that his sartorlal per lection, together with his good looks, conversational ability far above the average, and the fact that he was frankly interested in my fathers daughter made a very strong and very favorable impression upon me.
 We got on splendidly together. It seemed that we were interested ln the same things, and before he left we had made numerous plans for the out doors. We were to golf, swim and ride horseback. He was very eager about the swimming, and his enthusl- asn as we talked of the beach recall ed to my mind what daddy had sad about his being a fine swimmer, ana how he had accepted the compliment on that occasion without the slightest apparent inclination to yield bit of it. I made a little mental black mark against him for not discountlng in my favor what daddy had said about the likelihood of his beating me.
 Except for that one instance, how ever. l had seen nothing in his man nor that would suggest he was any thing but courteous. He was even gallant, decidedly well bred. But and I was to know more about thls peculiarity in the years to come-he was positive to a degree that almost hurt. He never said, '1 think so, or
