AFTER OPENING

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-Wheat started
weak today on local selling, word
being received that no new orders
from abroad were In evidence. AZ
ter opening 1c to g under yester-
days finish with December $2.35
to 1886, and March $2.37. the mar
ket displayed further weakness and
prices soon carried three cents be-
low the low point Of the previous
day.
The wheat market rallied later
on strong commission house buying
and part of the early loss was re-
covered, the finish showing prices
unchanged to &c under yesterdays
finish with December at 2.S7 and
March at 2.38K.
There was scattered liquidation
on in corn at the opening and the
market started sharply lower, some
stop loss orders being caught in
September delivery. Prices drop
ped rapidly because Of lack of sup
port. There was a good class OF
buying in evidence on the break, a
strong commission house taking
considerable September. The mar
ket opened unchanged to Ac low
er with September $1.40@1.40Ha,
and December $1.20A to $1.20A and
then showed further weakness.
Considerable strength developed
later in corn due almost entirely to
the technical position, although the
cash news was rather bullish and
prices which elosed near the high
point of the day were &c to 4hc
above the previous close, September
being 1.445s to 1.44B and December
1.22h to 1.22H..
Oats were in sympathy with corn
and although there was a sale Of
100, 900 bushels cash oats made to
New York exporters late yesterday,
the market started unchanged to
&c lower, with September 66Hc to
&c, and December 67hc to 67Ac,
there being reports of favorable
weather conditions over the belt.
Provisions showed a firm under
tone at the start with most Of the
business being done in lard.

TODAY IN AI1EDO
AND MERCER COUNTY
SUPPLY SERUM
FOR COMBATING
HOG CHOLERA

What is said to be one NJ ~.
most forward movements tovs,s
the betterment of livestock cond,..
lions in Mercer county is now nm.
der way. In a recent meeting ~
the board Of directors Of the Conn
ty Farm bureau it was decided Ia
supply serum for combating ho,
cholera to members of the asso.
citation.
The Farm Bureau, in SUPPLYING
individuals with serum, virus and
vaccinating apparatus will cut ths
vaccinating cost to owners in half
The decision of the directors was
the result of careful thought and
investigation by the members. &C.
cording to officers of the organize
ton.
Vaccination-of hogs by the owner,
is no experiment in this part Of the
state. For the past year and half
Rock Island County Farm Bureau
has supplied serum and instruments
to it's members. A careful survey
by a committee from the Mercer
county organization shows that the
success in other counties justifes
taking up the work locally. The
Adams County Farm Bureau is re-.
ported to have recently adopted the
plan.
County Ranks Third.
Officials of the Mercer county or.
ganization stated recently that the
action was not taken to antagonise
local veterinarians, but rather to-
render a service which has been
much in demand during the last
few years. Statistics show that
Mercer county ranks third in ILL
nois in the number Of hogs
raised. There are probably more
hogs in this county than in any
county the same size in the state.
Hog owners have long discussed
the means of successful vaccination
against cholera at a lower cost
When hogs brought from 20 cents
to % cents per pound on the mar
ket the cost of serum was about SO
to $12 per bottle Of 500 cubic cen-
timeters. Since hogs have declined
to about IL or IA cents the price
of serum has remained the same.
1t has been shown that any far
mer who realizes the vLiue OF san
itation and the dangers associated
with careless handling of cholera
serum and virus, can vaccinAte
their own hogs Gas successfully -
the average veterinarian.
A committee was named at the
directors meeting to represent the
Farm Bureau in working with the
veterinarians of the county in order
that close cooperation and a gen.
eral understanding may be had be-
tween the doctors and the farmers.
1t is expected that the veterinarians
and the committee from the Farm
Bureau will meet and a report Will
be made to the board Of directors
of the organization at a later date
Farm Advisor P. S. Richey has
made up a list Of the articles neces-'
sary when starting to vaccinate
herd of hogs. together with full d.
rectons for the Pre- cess and is SEND.
ing the tables to each member o.
the Farm Bureau. A number Of
syringes, needles. ETC., and a quan-
tity Of the serum and virus have
been secured and are on hand at tne
office, so that any member OF tne
organization who desires to protec
his hogs from cholera can do so ats
minimum expense.

CUT OUT THE CENSORSHIP STUFF

DR.. Scudder may be a Bolshevih or he may be simply an overly
conscientious good American inclined to side with the under dog on
general principles. But in either case he should have the fullest and
freest right to express his views so long as he does not advocate No
lence and his statements are not calculated to incite others to violent
acts.
There is a strong tendency on the part of a good many persons
to wish to suppress any one who ventures to express views not con
sidered orthodox. This tendency was strengthened by the restrictions
on expression considered necessary during the War. But the War IS
over and it is high time that we were getting back to the principles OF
free speech and free expression on which this nation was founded.
AS for the BolshevAs, few persons believe that their doctrines can
be maintained even in Russia, let alone i'll countries of reasonably sane
and stable government. But that order must eventually come out of the
frightful chaos of that horror-ridden country, most of is do hrmy
believe. And the Russia OF that happy day will be neither the Russia
of the czars nor of the BolsheVsts. 1t were a brave man, however,
who would dare to predict that nothing but dross will ever come from
that fiery crucible in which Russia IS now being refined.
In the meantime intelligent men should be watching this, most
remarkable as we'll as the most stupendous human experiment, with
the utmost interest, and should welcome any discussion that will serve
to throw light on the swiftly shifting phenomenon. Whether we shall
be able to profit in any degree from the Russian experiment is prob
lematical, but certain it is that, as a part of an integral world, we shall
be affected by it, and a clearsighted understanding OF it is very neces-
SarV.
