CORN FOLLOWS
LOWER PRICES
9 IN HOG MARKET
Continued Drop Of Pork Quotations
ResE!ts in Further Lowering
of Grain Values.

Chicago. Ill, Aug. 30.-A further
drop in live hogs at the stock
yards. where packing animals de-
clined from 81 to s125 a hundred
pounds on the first sales, was re-
hected in lower corn prices at the
outset of today's board of trade
dealings, September losing an out
side of 2 cents. The initial decline
was quickly followed by - rally
induced by shorts buying to cover
and September sold at 3 cents
above the low point The deferred
deliveries declined and rallied in
narrower limits affected by the
same conditions. Corn opened I'M
changed to , cents lower with Sep
TENDER $1.77 to s1771z and Decem-
Der at 1851 to S1.38&. In the
first hour prices showed a tend
ency to steady at about opening
figures for the distant months with
September fractionally higher than
the opening point.
Subsequently the corn market
was dull and ranged lower on scat
tered selling. Liquidating trades
were noticeable in the September
delivery. The close was steady,
q to 35sc lower. distant futures
showing the greatest decline. Fin
al figures were September, s1.774
to 1.77A, and December 1868 to
1862.
In provisions. later there was
little change in provisions prices
and trade was dull. The advance
in live hogs failed to stimulate the
market and at the close pork was
75c lower; lard unchanged TO 10c
higher, and ribs unchanged to 10c
lower.
The embargo against shipments
to Atlantic and Gulf ports an
nounced by the United States
grain corporation seemingly affect
ed oats more than corn. The sus-
pension of shipments, the an
nouncement said, was only tenn
porary. Oats started unchanged to
Il C lower and under some liquidat-
ing pressure dropped to about 1c
below yesterdays closing point,
September showing relatively
greater strength than the distant
deliveries. Opening prices were,
September 705sC and December
73Ac to TAG.
Provisions were rather dull.
Pork opened unchanged and lard
and ribs at advances of from 23c
to 53c.

LEG BROKEN BY
CIRCUS WAGON
Sidney Sherman, SeIls-FIOtO En-
plOye Suffers Bad Fracture
While Loading.

Sidney Sherman, aged %, Sells
Floto circus employe, suffered a
badly broken leg about O'clock
last evening when a big wagon
which he was helping to load in the
Burlington yards broke from con-
troll. The heavy tongue caught his
left limb between it and the side of
the flat car. Both bones were snap
ped, in a straight break, about mid
way between the ankle and knee.
The injured man was taken at
once to the office of DR.. B. r. Win
bigler, where Drs. Winbigler and
II. L. Walker set the fracture and
placed the limb in a plaster cast.
Although in great pain during the
setting process, Sherman calmly
pulled on a cigaret, which one of
his pals lighted and placed in his
mouth. This is my first offense. /
don't want another, & whew!"
he exclaimed as the physicians
manipulated the fractured limb.
Give him the best possible care
at our expense" J. B. Doran, field
boss of the circus told DR.. Winbig-
Ter.
Temporary quarters were ar
ranged for Sherman in a room ad-
joining DR.. Winbigler's Office in the
Mercer building. 1t was thought at
first that he would remain here for
five or six weeks, the time which
the physicians estimated would be
required before he could walk on
crutches The circus is travelling
south, however, hence it was decid-
ed that Sherman would be taken 10
either ST Louis or Louisville, KY.
Monday, there TO be placed in a
hospital until complete recovery,
The injured man is discharged
soldier, having served for many
months as a machine gun instruc-
tor at Camp Hancock, Ga.
Until the show got away, about
pals of the big tent called
and passed a CHEEKY word. Each
brought a contribution, either to-
baccO, cigarets, papers or maya
zines, which they rather self-con-
sciously presented with exclama-
lions like Its sure tough luck,
boy" and tn mean cushions for
you for long time, / had one
once" But beneath rough and
hardened exteriors beat big hearts.
II was $50 long Sid, see you in
Denver" II won't forget to write"
and Take care of that leg, boy,
she's more important than any
thing else" as they filed out to re-
sumo their stations in pulling
stakes"

Market Square Sales
WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 30.-Grain and
provision prices on the board of
trade through the week were sub
jected to several depressing cir
cumstances which were reflected
in market declines from prevailing
figures a week ago. The fight, ma
tional, state and individual, against
the high cost of living was a con-
slant factor on the bear side. Early
in the week holders of large stocks
of grain put them on the market
with resulting sharp decline.
which was in part Offset the next
day by a renewed demand.
About the middle of the seven
day period live hog prices fell off
sharply, the fight against excessive
charges and a belief that there was
no outlet awaiting large shipments
forcing the ION the hoof" decline.
The drop in live hogs caused an
immediate decline in grain and
provision prices, corn losing near
ly cents in three days. While the
bearish conditions and the low
live hogs price continued to the
end of the week, an advance in
COIHs OdLS anu uSdI pTOuQCLS lOT
future delivery set in ,shorts having
taken fright and rushing to cover,
forcing prices up in proportion to
their desire to accumulate supplies.
Compared with a week ago, how
ever, all prices showed a distinct
decrease, corn being $50 to CSC
net lower, oats &c to 2Kc down,
and provisions showing a decline
OF from $135 to $3.45, pork and
ribs leading in the decline.
Through the week trading was
not in great volume. The cash corn
market showed little of the buoy
ancy of the distant deliveries and
followed more steadily the down
ward trend.
Oats Travelled in close sympathy
with corn, affected by similar fac
tors but f1uctuating within mar
rover limits.
Provisions held generally stead
Ter than grains until they faced
the slump in live hog prices, when
they sank rapidly. Shorts seeking
to cover at the end of the week
lifted provisions from the extreme
low points.

The agitation in the Mexican

a favorable impression here. Po-

CIRCUS DRAWS
5000 PEOPLE.
Shows Realize Successful Returns,
Attracting Mercer Folk to the
County Seat.

Fully 5000 people crowded Aledo
yesterday, attracted by Sells-Floto
Bros, "the circus beautiful" which
pitched its city of tents on the
Merritt lots on West Seventh street.
for two performances, one each in
the afternoon and evening.
That the show was of high order
is the universal opinion of those
who attended, pleasure and salts
faction being heard expressed on
every hand following each per-
Torrance.
The largest crowd came in the
afternoon. BY parade time at
1870 yesterday morning Aledo's
thoroughfares were lined with ma
chimes and rigs and city garages
were filled. The weather was ideal
and every road led circus-ward.
Long before daylight the show
rolled into the Burlington yards in
2S cars of two sections. Unload
ing began at dawn and was wit
messed by a good sized crowd.
BY midnight every vestage, ex-
cept debris, indicating that a cir
Gus had visited Aledo, was obliter-
ated. At IL o'clock changing of en-
CINE bells announced that all had
been safely packed and was once
more on its way, Peoria-bound.
The attraction was booked at the
one-time distillery city today. Mon
day it is billed to show in Spring
field, from where the circus will
travel southwark for fall showings,
thence back to winter quarters at
Denver, Colo.
That the performance carries an
unusually clean band of perform
ers and employees was evidenced by
the fact that during the entire day
there were no complaints received
by Sheriff John P. Fleming and his
special deputies policing the city
and the show grounds. This rec
ord is considered an unusual one
for circus day.

taking from desert and waters and desolation, land that is now useless. Nations make war on each other that they may have new lands-lands in tropical Africa, in remote Asia. And here, under our own flag, we have land as rich as the Valley of the Nile, not ours yet, for it does not serve us, which we can conquer with little thought and the lending of a little money. This is conquest worthy of a democracy.
 THE SAME OLD BOYS
 A lot of people have been exploit ing the theory that young men of the country, who have spent from six months to a year and a half in the army and navy of their country have been revolutionized physically and mentally, and that in order to make things to their liking that the United States needs to be turned over-if not upside down! But the gathering in of facts show that aside from hav- ing been hardened and strengthened by strenuous experiences in camp, and in travel, that the boys are just about the same kind of boys that they were The outstanding feature of the change, according to Colonel Arthur Woods, before the Hateful sixth of April, 1917. Assistant to the Secretary of War, in discussing postwar problems, is that "the ambitions of our returning soldiers and sailors is probably the best thing about them." Colonel Woods says that tests applied to as- certain the mental and physiological condition of the former soldiers prove interesting. Among six hundred sol diers and sailors who returned to in dustrial callings it was found that GA per cent. of them increased in eff ciency, that 32 per cent, of them were the same, and four per cent. went backwards. Apparently there has been widespread apprehension con- corning the attitude of mind of sol diers who have just returned home.
