Reserve Officers Boats
To Be Repaired Free

One OF the first practical privileges
OF belonging to the Army Reserve
Officers Training Corps is that they
may now have their shoes or boots
repaired, patched or otherwise treated
at the expense Of the government.
The proviso is that the work must
be done at government repair shop.
Up to yesterday it was only the officer
in regular service who could go to
repair shop with his war worn
shoes and demand that the govern
ment fix them.
The granting Of the privilege is due
to the interest of the quartermaster
department in the matter.

lion, Slight Gains Recorded at
Days Close.

CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-Profit-taking
caused a reaction in the wheat pit
before the close and early gains
were not fully maintained. The
market closed, however, at an ad-
vance of to 2A cents. A Minne-
apolis house was reported buying
100000 bushels, presumably to ap-
ply on December sales. Investment
buying was noted throughout the
day, and the market had a broad
scope. December closed at l.79 q, up
"a from yesterdays close Of l.77h.
Corn reacted with wheat and
closed 4 cent lower to u cent
higher. The market dragged de-
spite a favorable early start. Oma-
ha reported freer offerings of corn
by farmers in that territory, but,
taking the country as a whole, the
corn movement was slow. Corn
premiums were firmly held. Domes-
tic shipping demand was fair. Ex-
porters were in the market, but
their bids were not acceptable.
Oats underwent fluctuations siml-
lar to corn. On the hard spots
selling was in evidence, and shorts
bought eagerly whenever the mar
ket sagged. The Northwest houses
sold December and bought. East
ern shipping demand was enlarged.
The market closed X to 2s cent
lower.
Barley ruled unchanged. Rye was

Play New Games and Stay Young,
 Physical Director Urges.
 Don't grow old-or rather, though you grow old as far as years are con- cerned. do not get old otherwise. It Is easy to stay young, according to Dr Louis R. WelzmilIer, director of West Side r. M C. A. He ayers that most people grow old because they cease doing young things, not because they need new glands.
 ' "A man is young" said the doctor, because he plays; he doesn't play be. cause he is young. He is the product of his own actions. The old man who sits down after dinner, grouchy be- cause the children make noise, has already passed on.' He ought to be Oslerized. All he is worth to the fam fly is the pay check he brings home.
 But look at mother, who plays games with the children, sympathizes with them in their troubles and has a part in all they do. She remains flex- ible; she hasn't had time to grow old.
 Tt is dangerous for some men to re- tire from business. You know the kind who work at high tension for long years, doing nothing but strive for money They get 1t and then announce their retirement; a little later you read nice obituary saying what a success they had made. They hadn't.
 "To keep young one must do young things Don't be too dignified to play baseball, old cat, leapfrog or other lively things which keep the muscles in trim. Have young associates and be boy with them. Spend time each day studying to be young. Fish, hunt, golf, if you like it, and don't cry quits the first time muscle twinges; get into the game harder and go to the gym to work out the ache, or play with the kids until you forget it.
 Take youth with you as you 80 to- ward old age. You can lead Father Time a merry race by thinking young, playing young and keeping physically fit"
