Slang In the Pulpit.

A striking instance of the force of American "slanguage" is afforded in one of Amerlcas leading preachers. The speaker, a doctor of divinity, was addressing a Canadian audience on Uncle Sans efforts. In a 90-minuts talk there occurred, among others, these "gems:" "We are on this job to the finish. We are prepared to fight till hell itself freezes over. and If Ger many isn't beat then we'll buy skates and get after her on the Ice" This kaiser Is the biggest duplex, double action, high-pOwered liar in history. He told his people the Americans could never get to France. Waal, he and his people have got another guess coming"

MUCH NEEDED RAINS IN CORN BELT CAUSE IF A DROP IN STAPLE
Oats Also Lost a Fraction. While the Provisions List Was Sent Up
 45 to soc

Chicago, July So-Many showers and a prospect of numerous others did much today to bring about lower prices in the corn market, the market finishing weak, lAc to 25sc net decline, with September l.6e. Oats lost -@1zc. In provisions the outcome ranged from setback to 4oq 50c advance.
 Fresh moisture supplied to parts Of H. linois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and the northwest tended materially to relieve the condition of the corn crop. Selling of corn was thus from the outset given considerable impetus, which was soon added to by an official forecase of fur ther showers scattered over wide ter ritory Later the government weekly crop report received generally bearlsh construction. Houses with country con nections did most of the selling. The only pronounced rally was confined to the July delivery, and was due to month end covering by shorts.
 Oats eased down mainly in sympathy with corn Both cereals continued to be depressed in some degree by the race riots and car strike. Provisions were dull and irregular. Renewal of strength in the hog market counterbalanced some what the weakness of grain.

New Orleans, July 3O.-General llquida or in Liverpool and America. due to
 r'vate monthly crop reports indicating
 yield somewhat larger than was pre- iicted last month, and the absence of ,n urgent demand for spots in the south occasioned a further important declina 'n market this morning.
 Returns to the New Orleans Times Picayune average the condition of crop It eS9 versus the government average of 70 last month, pointing to yield slight. " under 11,3O0O00 bales, linters not in- cludued.
 Private monthly crop reports range from 6S3 to 71.2. averaging 69.3t A bureau of 69 would indicate yield of about H. 200, 900 bales versus last months indica- tions for 10,9s6,000 bales exclusive of lint CTS. It is likely. therefore. that the. re- cent important decline in market has about discounted bureau of about 69.
 The previous lowest government crop condition for July 25 was 7o.S in 1917 in which year the crop exclusive of linters was only II ,o4S,O0 bales. The July 25 condi- .n last year, 7S.6, indicated a yield Of 13. .Gl9,OO0 bales, final count was only H. S8S GOO bales without lnters, and the July 95 condition of 70.3 in 1917 pointed to production of 11,949000 bales exclusive of linters In both years final results were smaller than indicated on Julys 2S-H. & B.
