SERGEANT YORK TO
Be FLORIDA GUEST
INVITED HERE TO HELP WITH
CHRISTMAS STAMP SALE.
Is Man Who Killed Eight Huns, Cap
tured Thirty and Marched Them in
to Camp.

The greatest hero in the late war
is Sergeant Alvin C. York, of Tennes-
see, who single handed and alone kill
Cd eight Huns and captured over thir-
ty and marched them in as prisoners.
Sergeant York is very much inter-
ested in the campaign for the sale of
the Red Cross Christmas Seals and
is Vice Chairman of the campaign in
Tennessee. Those directing the work
in Florida have invited Sergeant York
to visit this state in the interest OF
the work, and they feel assured that
he will do so sometime during the
latter part of this month. Sergeant
York feels deep interest in the
movement because he appreciates the
work being done against tuberculo-
sis and his services are free to make
the drive which takes place December
1st-10th a success. His name fame
is known in every household in Am
erica and his - popularity has been
strengthened by his extreme modesty.
Should he come to Florida and it
seems now assured, it will be a nota-
BILE occasion.
Governor Roberts, of Tennessee, is
the Chairman of that State and he
has been requested to release Sergeant
York for the Florida visit. The
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce,
Mayor Martin and other organizations
of Jacksonville have invited Sergeant
York and as soon as it is known that
he will come, extensive preparations
will be made to receive him with the
honors due Americas most distin-
guished and most modest hero.

COUNCIL TO JOIN IN
ROAD TO GAINESVILLE
WILL WORK IN HAND WITH
COUNTY BOARD.
Gainesville and Alachua County Have
Already Planned For Their Part
of Work.

A committee of three, composed of
Aldermen NJ. B. Cochrane, W. P, Di-
neen and J. C. Mccoy was named by
President Merrill, of the city council
last night, following the passage loA
a resolution to join with the Board of
County Commissioners in meeting
Gainesville and Alachua county half
way in putting in proper condition
the road between the two capitals of
Alachua and Putnam county.
This action followed an address by
DR.. A. NJ. Steen, chairman of the
Beard of County Commissioners, who
pointed out that there is an opportu-
nifty now to take advantage of state
aid for constructing this link in the
highway which may never come again.
This is the same matter which was
taken up at the last meeting of the
Business Mems Association when rep
resentatives from Alachua county
made a strong plea for the coopera-
ton of Palatka and Putnam county.
AS pointed out by DR.. Steen last night
no road that can be built at this time
will be of more benefit to the city
and county.
The state road department has evin-
ced great deal of interest in this
link in the highway and is willing to
do its full part in constructing the
road. The route would be by way
of Hawthorne.
Budget Monday Night.
Chairman McNally, of the finance
committee, announced that the budget
was not quite ready and asked for
an adjournment of council until Mon
Gay night when the budget will be
submitted for ratification. This was
agreed to. No advance figures on
the budget are available.
Mr.. McNally, also asked for more
time in which to prepare report on
the waterworks purchase, which was
turned over to special committee.
lie announced that a reply had been re-
ceived to the inquiry made by the
committee to the owners of the old
waterworks, but that there is certain
other data which the committee wish
es to get in hand before making up
it's final report.
Just what terms the owners have
offered has not been made known, but
it is believed to be in the neighbor-
mood OF $4,000. Under an act pass
ed by the legislature Palatka cannot
bond for more than 100000 for the
purchase of the waterworks, but can
fellow the same procedure as has been
followed in other instances and either
borrow the money needed in addition
to a bond issue, or issue time war
rants.
Parking Amendment Passes.
The amendment to the traffic or
dinance, relative to parking of cars
IN the public street, was placed on
its second and third reading and pass
ed. This amendment makes it I'M
lawful to park cars in such manner
that they will obstruct entrances to
garages or to filling stations.
1t was the sense of council that no
city engineer is needed for the pres
ent and heads of the various depart
ments will be held responsible for
the working of their departments.
This plan will be followed for several
weeks in the interest of economy.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Alderman Coughlin for the zeal he
has displayed in looking after the

SUPPLY
And BUYING DO
NOT HELP CORN
Purchases and Small Offerings
Fail to Offset General Bear
ishness of Traders.

Chicago, Au. Scattered COM
mission house buying and light Of
ferings today failed at the start to
offset a general bearishness among
corn traders. Conditions Of indus
trial and economic unrest seemed
reflected in the tendency to keep
away from high prices. Increased
buying early induced a slight up
turn which was speedily followed
by another sag. Opening corn
prices were sc higher to 11sc
lower, December showing the only
increase. The initial figures were
September at IT'S to 1.7Sh and
December at 1.411z to LAP.
Oats started weak with limited
support and through the early
trading moved in narrower limits
than corn. The market steadied
somewhat beneath the opening fig
ures. Opening prices were un-
changed to sc lower, with Sep
TENDER at 715s to TN and Decem-
Der at 749s to 7415.
Provisions opened dull and weak
Influenced by declines in live hog
prices. At the start prices were
from 25c to 40c lower.
The decline in provisions after
the early trading became more
pronounced and pork dropped off
more than 81, short ribs declining
Use. Lack of support among trad
ers added to the weakness of live
hogs prices were the contributing
causes.
Later corn prices averaged low
er, local traders selling freely.
Several times indications were ap-
parent that the market had been
oversold. Covering at these points
brought about rallies. but selling
pressure returned and prices fell
off The close was weak, CSC to lie
net lower, with September at 1.7S%
to 1.79 and December 1.405s to
1.40$4.

New York. Aug. 27.-Revival OF
labor unrest, unsettlement in the
money situation and no assurance
as to signing OF the peace treaty
are factors which are making for
irregular movements and the forth
coming three-day holiday must also
be taken into consideration. At
the moment we cannot advise any
new commitments, but would pre-
fer liquidation on all strong. Per-
haps yesterdays market went ahead
too fast for its own good. There
is probably a fairly large sized
short interest outstanding which
can be driven to cover in another
day like yesterday. / do not hear
of any influential buying. The out
look seems to be for irregularity.
This mornings news is not partic-
ularly encouraging. No one can
tell the outcome of the railway
shipments vote to strike. The &C
ton of the steel workers, the peace
treaty debate can only reiterate
previously expressed views that
rails and coppers look best am
would avoid high priced industrials
Unless there is an unusual degree
Of restraint among the bear fol-
lowing selling to follow the combi-
nation Of unfavorable developments
this morning will give us a loves

CARLOAD OF ICE
COMES TO ALEDO

One carload OF ice received by
the z. S. McGinnis company yester-
day relieved to some extent the ice
shortage under which Aledo has
suffered for about a week past.
All could not be supplied from
the carload, however, and conse-
quently many of the small consum-
ers are still without the c0mmod-
ity. The car was apportioned as
equally as possible among those
business houses in acute need.
The load received yesterday came
from Burlington dealers who han
die artificial ice manufactured in
St Louis, officials of the McGinnis
company stated today. The supply
from this source is guaranteed, but
the quality of the artificial product
is far inferior to that of the lake
ice heretofore secured through the
Moline Consumers company OF
Moline from northern ice hoouses.
Next Shipment Uncertain.
When more Ice can be obtained
from the Moline concern is un-
known, due to rail conditions and
the shortage experienced in the
northern cities.
Ice for Aledo is a necessity, how
ever. and should none be forthcom-
ing from the northern dealers with
whom the McGinnis company has
contracts. it will be purchased from
Burlington, where from three to
five carloads of the artificial prod
uct are guaranteed every week.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Grain mar
kets should be lower in the early
session. A rally should follow,
based on exhaustion of old con-
tract corn at Chicago Chicago
holds presumably about $4,000 con-
tract only. Corn crop is nearing
the frost period. The grains are
confronted with a possible labor
struggle and determination OF the
governmeEt to force lower costs.
The United States will open retail
stores Sept. Is and may be extra
food to press its campaign. the
president receives great praise for
his stand on the labor question.
Rail shopmen, however, have not
decided. They are to take vote
on the question of ignoring the
presidents ideas. The situation is
therefore unsatisfactory. Uneasi-
ness in securities is suggested and
the buying side of corn has been
affected for two weeks. Some think
December corn will have to sell at
1.25 and hogs II cents to meet new
conditions. Texas corn can hardly
arrive fast enough to affect Sep
TENDER corn, and for the present
the December price does not sug-
gest large northern sales. The
president has asked a truce with
labor until the cost Of living is
reduced. Under these conditions
how can grain and provisions ad-
vance? Any kind of squeeze in
September corn would be out of
the way. The Chicago board of
trade will not close on Saturday.
Grain Opinions.
Clement Curtiss:. Believe corn
market should be bought out this
week
Harris winthrop: Favorable
showing of corn crop and pressure
of Texas corn are changing the
attitude of the farmer who recent
" showed decided independence.
Martin Riordan: Rather favor
sales corn on any fair upturn for
the present Would only buy oats
on good declines
F. Bartlett: The tone Of the corn
market was heavy at the close yes
terday. Country offerings of oats
continue moderate.
Logan: Action of the cash mar
kets and especially the southwest
will prove the potent influence for
the time being.
Ware & Leland: Yesterdays de-
cline in corn was steady and with
a narrow range, Notwithstanding
heavy selling.
Rennett. Corn market is only
trading affair with buying on sharp
breaks of the deferred futures the
most attractive.

BEANS, LOCALLY
GROWN, APPEAR
FOR FIRST time
Supply, Though Scarce, Fills Place
Of Those Shipped in City
from Chicago.

The first homegrown green string
beans made their appearance on
Rock Island retail markets yester-
day. They are selling at Is cents
per pound, retail, and are purchas-
ed by grocers at IL cents a pound.
The supply, though scarce, prob
ably will come up to its normal
quantity il due time. Green string
beans on the market last week
were shipped here from Chicago.
Reports today are that tomatoes
will take a considerable jump in
price either today or tomorrow.
Baskets containing 56 pounds are
being bought at SIPS, but accord
ing to some local producers the
baskets will not be able to be pur-
chased wholesale for less than
Z $3.50. Only vegetables that grow
ers are bringing in on their wag-
Ons today are tomatoes, sweet corn
and cucumbers.
Alberta peaches grown in south
ern Illinois have taken a 50-cent
increase in price in the last five
days. according to one Rock Island
retail grocer. Last Thursday the
peaches sold at S425 per bushel;
on Friday it jumped to $40, and
last Saturday the price stood, as it
is today, at $4.75 & bushel The
canning season is practically over.
The Alberta peaches, however, that
are now on the market are of the
eating variety and have fine fla
vor.
Homegrown grapes are not plen-
tiful. The few on the markets to-
day sell at 10 cents a pound. Jelly
grapes are not yet for sale.
Vegetables grown here will soon
be of the market. Producers are
already planning to go north next
month to see about potatoes.
