JUDGE GILBERT IN THE COUNTY.

Last Saturday afternoon the
court auditorium was well-filled
with the yeomanry of Adair and
also quite a number of ladies,
who had gathered to hear Judge
Ralph Gilbert present his claims
for seat in the National Con-
gress.
He was introduced by Mr..
Ralph Hurt, son of Judge Rollin
Hurt, who was a soldier in the
World War, and who went over
seas. Mr.. Hurt made a short,
pointed speech in which he said
Mr.: Swope made gallant SOL
der, three thousand miles from
the firing line. He called atten-
ton to Judge Gilbert's loyalty to
the soldiers and asked the Demo
cratic boys to support him in this
contest. His speech was well
taken.
Judge Gilbert arose and for
one and a half hours he areigned
the Republican party for failing
to do anything for the benefit of
the country in the last Congress,
they being in control. They

claim, said the Judge, to be in
favor of tbs bonus bill, vet they
failed to pass the bill. He stat
ed that he had done all he could
as a civilian for the soldiers, and
that if he was elected to Con-
gres he would favor a better bill,
that would redoWn to their in
terest. He stood with President
Wilson and Gov. Cox on the
League of Nations, as the only
means of bringing about a last
ing peace.
His speech throughout was a
criticism of Lodge and his follow
ers and at intervals he was lusti'
ly cheered, showing that his
audience was interested.
Hon. King Swope, his Apo
nent, received several telling
slaps. He said that every religious
body, every educational institu-
ton of the country had passed
resolutions endorsing the League
of Nations. He also intimated
that the Republicans in the
Senate were really for it; but
they hated the President for his
good deeds, and their action
against it was because of their
dislike for Mr.. Wilson.
His speech was good all
through, and it evidently had a
telling effect. Before closing he
paid a high compliment to Sena-
tor Beckham, who had an appo-
nent who lives in Cincinnati.
Judge Gilbert has a number of
appointments in Adair for this
week, and is accompanied by Mr..
Gordon Montgomery.
The Adair County news., 1920-10-13

Now what is the objection to
the League and Treaty? In the
main it is this; that we will be
drawn into every difference and
controversy in Europe, and that
our soldier boys will be sent over
seas with each difficulty that
arises in the affairs of Europe of
Asia or Africa. There isn't a
boy nor girl in America but who
knows that the power to declare
war is lodged with Congress.
The President hasn't anymore
right to declare war or send your
boys overseas than you have and
not so, much. No League can
send our soldiers overseas; no
President can do it-only Con-
gress can do it. And Congress
is more safely buttressed now in
the ways and ideals of Peace
than it ever has been before be-
cause Congress has in part a |
new boss now. The mother |
thought of America will be con-
suited in the future. l give you.
my assurance that there will be
absolutely no danger of your
boys being ordered overseas
without your consent. Extract

AMERICAN WHEAT DROPS TOLOWEST IN WORLD YESTERDAY
Another Decline In Future Prices on the Chicago Board
 of Trade Sends All Grains Down
By Associated Press

Chicago, November 20.--AIneftcan wheat became the cheapest in the world today through another decline in future prices on the Chicago board of trade. There was q net loss for the day of from 3A to Dc a bushel, December wheat closing at s1.6Sh@ 1.es, and March one cent below that level Corn and oats also declined partly in sympathy with wheat and partly because buyers had no confi- dence that the bottom had been reached in those grains. although they were already below the pre-war value. De- cember corn closed on the down grade at GA 3-S@64c, while May oats wound up at a fraction below 4Sc. With wheat at its low figure again turned to the foreign situation and a feeling developed that export demand would be attracted to the local market by the low prices. This was strength ened when word came from the Seabo lrd that Italy had taken two cargoes al d Germany 100000 bushels of wheat on the breaks. It was also pointed put that at Buenos Aires March wheat was at premium of 25c over the Chi sago price. These considerations brought a rally that carried December wheat from its low point of $1.65% to above $1.Ss. In the last half hour, however, the general liquidation in the bust iess world again held sway in the pit and prices receded sharply. In corn country offerings continued light and cash corn sold at fair premiums over the Decem- Der delivery. But the market was in no mood to respond to news regard ing grains and the general finan, ,ial situation affected corn as it had wn eat. Oats, too, felt the influences of the general business situation throug put the session, although there was slightly less selling fever than was manifest in the corn trade.
 Provisions were weaker and lower with grains. Some scattered xelling by commission houses had influ once, also. but trade was only fair.

 New Orleans November 0--whffe there were flashes of strength in the trading in cotton today, the market was depressed during the greater part of the time, selling coming out because of ex- pectations of full ginning returns to Mo- vember If in the report due from the census bureau the first thing Monday morning. The strength displayed at times was caused by covering on the part of shorts who wanted their profits, and at one time a new demand was felt for which predictions of easier money were responsible. The market finally closed for the day points up to 6 points down net, which indicated very well the character of the mood it was in
 On the first call there was much real izing, but after advances of 13 to 34 points new selling developed and prices declined to levels F to 20 points under the close of yesterday. A little later the strongest period of the day was entered and here the active months were 2S to S6 points over yesterdays finals. with De- cember up to 15S0c At the lowest De- cember traded at 15.20c.

 Encouraging
Ny Associated Pr~ss

New York, November 20.--Today's brief session for the stock market be- gan with fresh unsettlement, due to renewed liquidation and professional pressure among leaders of the steel, geouipment and oil groups.
 Crucible steel extended yseterd ay's sheavy loss by almost five points to the lyears loss of s5, and Baldwin loco motive and Mexican petroleum joined the long list of minimum quotations for the past twelve months. Sundry spcialties continued to ease on what seemed like belated selling of pool holdings.
 These adverse factors were balanced by the firmness of rails and shippings, put buying of these stocks was mainly for short covering to, close contracts over the weekend.
 Advices and general developm snts pertaining to the market were more encouraging. A leading commercial au- thor1ty reported more life in several branches of trade" and remittances to London and Paris strengthened

New York, November 20.-A continued recession in the volume of new business was the feature in the stock market this week. Buyers. apparently caused by price recessions, are withholding orders except for the finished products In fact. business is so small that prices remain largely nominal and while in some re- spects the market seems steadier, the improvement is mainly a surface condi- ton.
 Judge Gary's announcement that the steel corporation would recommend to presidents of subsidiary companies that base selling prices in all commodities be continued in force, created a favor able sentiment in the trade.
 Pig iron continues weak and values are gradually sinking to lower levels. Some furnaces are closing down rather than reduce prices further. In many cases buyers are being supplied by re- sales at material concessions and are not interested in producers prices. | Weakness in coke tends to increase the general bearish sentiment.
 Copper has shown renewed depression and demand has flatened out again with price shading by second hands giving the market an unsteady toDe. Leading producers are showing mofe inclination to reduce their output than to cut prices. in an effort to stimulate immediate de-
 
 ment of production at present averages about 8 1-3 per cent. It is reported that copper can be bought for $l475 for Jan- uary shipment, but producers are gen. erally maintaining their quotation of 15 cents for later deliveries in the first quarter
 Tin has shared the general depression, with consumers still out of the market. The tone is unsettled and price move ment irregular owing to fluctuations In London and exchange rates.
 Lead dropped another half cent, but even at the decline buyers show little in- terest and firmness in London was ig- nored.
 Zinc continues weak owing to indif- ferent demand. To reduce supplies some holders are offering concessions and sey- eral large companies have curtailed out put for lack of orders and because adverse outside conditions, but there is no dispo- sition among leading producers to forco the market.

New York. iSo,emDrr l0-suoted values continued to melt away in the securities market until the average. as defined by representative industrial and special shares. fell to the lowest level of the year, while a number of individual issues were at the bottom price for two to five years.
 The further demoralization on the stock exchange was in keeping with conditions in the industrial. cotton. grain and other commodity markets and was again popularity ascribed to the world wide strain on credits.
 In response to the banking circles, where no attempt was made to minimize the significance of the reversal, the movement was regarded as an inevitable climax to the imitation and other ex- cesses witnessed here in the first h3lf of the World war. Among professional traders whose extensive bearish opera tions contributed in large measure to the unsettlement, every successive setback evoked grave reference to the healthy rca ction" or ''salutary readjustme
 While the course of foreign exchange offered mo direct clue, there was ample justification for the belief that much of the latest liquidation, especially in rails and oils. emanated from Europen cen- ters, notably London and Amsterdam The weakest spot in tn eforeiSn situa- tion was that comprising the Latin American countries. Further cancella- tion or absolute rejection of imports of this market to Cuba and Central and South America gave po.nt to the sus- pended dividends of the American Inter- national corporation.
 Additional price conce10ions in steel, iron, copper and various Ukker raw and fnishd materials were measured in terms of curtailed productions deficits in earn- ings and reduced wages. Rates for call and time accommodatio tions were notably easier, but the deadlock in the invest ment situation and the absence of new capital offerings seemed to carry their own refutation of any actual improve ment in the money market
