Started BY Sag in Grain and Hogs.

Chicago, April 2s.-Cont!nued liquid
alton sales by holders led TO fresh de-
clines today in the corn market. The
pressure to unload was Of persist
ent character. Liberal receipts here
did much to stimulate bearish senti-
ment. Opening prices which ranged
from Ia to cents lower. with July
at 1852 to $3.50 and September al
$3.50 to sl.S01k, were followed by d
slight additional sag in some cases.
Floods OF automatis stop-loss orders
which were brought into play by the
break caused radical additions TO the
downturn in the market and the acute
weakness was increased by a notice
that the government had stopped
buying the bulk Of -four, but was buy
ing and might import foreign wheat.
The close was semi S7s
10 H. cents net lower, with July at
s1.5s& to s1.544 and September at
s1.5f to s1.51z.
Oats receded with corn. After op-
ening u to rs cents down, with July
at 70l. to IL cents, the market under
went a moderate further setback.
Provisions.
Provisions were carried down by
sympathy with the declines in the
value of grain and hogs. Pork espe-
cially was weak.
Provisions continued to tumble
until the soa- cleared the trading pits.
The maximum loss was in the January
delivery of pork. which at the finish
had been sIashed to $50 barrel.

PUTTING PEP INTO DISABLED MEN.
Federal Board for Vocational Education
Finds Way for Discouraged Soldiers.

Washington, D. c., July 30.-It takes
a great deal to stump the federal board
for vocational education when it comes
to finding something disabled soldier,
sailor, or marine can do.
"A perforated ear drum, valvular heart
disease and mitral insuficiency" sound
like the last words of the family doc.
tor A private in the infantry heard
this diagnosis with sinking feeling. He
was machinist, but that trade had to
90 now, and he wondered how he would
ever live on the salary Of Waterman.
That was the only kind of employment
he could get. The federal board found
him with the viii to carry on, but no
way, and they provided the way.
1t seems that he had a gift for draw
ing, and he was given trial course in
commercial design in school of indus
trial arts. The trial course had deyel-
oped into regular term, he is doing so

Letterhead Appeal Impresses.

:
Another letter from Joseph Yeska,
Mr.. Kaufman's contention that men
who vote. will be impressed by the
letterhead appeal. Mr.. Yeska's letter
follows.
my attention was attracted to the
type in red at the bottom of your
letter. and when l had finished read
ing 1t, must say that i was surpris-
ed to think that the idea of giving
the people of your city some kind of
government of your own was not
thought of long before this.
why you should be the subject OF
such a condition Is beyond me and l
assure you the point is well taken
ard worth fighting for. If you are
able to bring this before the right
body of men I am sure justice will
be done. You have my hearty sup
port IL YOU can make use OF it. as l
am with you in fight for that which
think is right.
Mr. Kaufman pointed out today that
il every man In Washington who does
considerable out-of-town mailing will
put the imprint on his paper Wash
ington's case will soon be known to
thousands of citizens in every state
in the Union. Mr.. Kaufman, who is
working in cooperation with the
Chamber of Commerce, Board of
Trade and the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, will tell you
how you can help. Call him at Frank
lin S27.
