there will be a new structure IN
place of the present north side
building.
At the present time there are
but two vacancies in next years

the high school faculty. Appli-
cants for both places, however.

New. York, July 2.-If the mar
ket continues the pace that some o.
the industrial list struck yester-
day it will have it's respectful at
tention again called to the federal
reserve position. International
financing is our first national ne
cessity, even more than before
peace was signed, and with ratifi-
cation of the treaty it will have
to be given most serious consid
Grafton. 1t would seem wise to
tighten ones load over the holt
days.
The market should continue in
healthy tone and activity should be
particularly in evidence in the
steel, equipment, food and machin-
cry stocks. The three day holiday
will undoubtedly lead to some
profit taking on the professional
side. The money situation is still
unsettled and will continue a point
of danger at the moment
Secretary of State Lansing will

HOGS co TO S22;.
BEATS RECORD
Prices Jump Far Above Yesterdays
Figure With Raise Of %
Cents In "a Hours.

Chicago. July Hog prices to-
day jumped far above yesterday
figures, which in turn had exceeded
any previous top record. The new
price is $22 hundredweight, rise
of rs cents in "a hours.
Increased export demand for food
products was the generally accept
ed reason for the continued un-
precedented advance.
The greatly augmented value OF
hogs draws attention to the fact
that in the number of hogs on
farms, Iowa is the most distin-
guished state in this country. The
estimate of the bureau of crop esti-
mates for 1919 is 1926, 900 hogs in
Iowa, 5,724, 900 in Illinois, 4,943,O00
in Missouri, 4,66S,000 in Indiana,
4 .266.O00 in Ohio 4.250,000 in Ne
braska and 3.045,000 in Georgia
Every other state is below 3,000,-
600. Iowa hogs are about one
seventh of the nations total and
nearly double the number in Hi
nois, the state next below.
