Chicago, July 10.-There was a
general rush Of buying by commits
sion houses at the start OF the corn
market today, which carried prices
upward. The government report
showed smaller figures than the
trade had expected, but otherwise
the report was construed generally as
very bearish.
Reports OF black rust in the north
west also helped boost prices. On
tho bulge there was some selling by
strong local professionals. Initial
quotations ranged from u to 11s
cents higher. with September at
$1.56K to $1.57 and December at
$1.Ssa to $1.403a.
The corn market continued active,
with q rather hrm iundertone. altho

reaction. The black rust scare in the
northwest carried the market upward
and the close was Arm, with advan-
ces ranging from An cents to 5A
cents. with September at $1.59A@
1.5s7t and December at $1.4s@1.44h.
Oats.

Pop" Warner In
His Serious Mood

Glen Warner, football mentor at
the University of Pittsburgh, recent
ly returned to the school to be pres
emit at the graduation exercises and
to assist in awarding letters to the
members of the 1919 football team.
OF course, Pop" Warner could not
set foot on the Pitt campus with
out being called upon for a speech
and his recent visit was no excep-
ton. other than that Pop" fooled
the Pitt students byl giving them a
serious talk tey were not looking
for.
When Warner appeared for the
school body. he was given the GUS
tomary nine rahs and other cheers.
The scene more faithfully resenbled
football rally than q June gradua-
ton exercise. When quiet was re-
stored, Warner took the short, cut to
thank the students for the demon
stration in his behalf. Then he
launched into an attack on over
confidence. and what he told the Pitt
student body will probably ring in
their ears during the remaining
weeks Of the summer vacation.
Warner of course. took no credit
to himself for the excellent showing
of the famous Pitt football machines
Of the past few seasons. He gave
the players all the praise. Among
other things he told them that Pitt
always had good football material,
but that Pitt had been too success.
full on the gridiron, and that success
was turning the heads and w:arping
the Judgment of some Of the student
body. Don't get the idea that Pitt
can not be beaten" shouted Warner,
"for whenever you begin to think that
way you arein for the best trimming
you ever had. like lots Of conf
dence, but I would rather have no.
confidence than an overdose Of 1t,
so beware" t
Warner also decried the system
that has been in vogue at Pitt, that
of counting victories before the
season opens. He said it was bad
business to count chickens before
they were Matched. The moral eff
feet Of such procedure is injurious
to the players, he told them.
Pop" assured the student body he
would be on the Job bright and early
this fall. He asked for the co-opera-
tlon of all. but he also urged them to
accord opponents some credit and
class. "Be optimistic and confident.
but beware Of the other fellow too
was his parting shot. His talk was
very much out Of the ordinary and
made q great impression at Pitt.

EIdora News Notes.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, July 10.--W. J. Bowers has
gone to points in Minnesota on va
cation trip of several weeks.
T. III. Taylor, who had been here
visiting his brother in laws, G. w.
Ward, and w. H. Martin, has re-
turned to his home in Waukesha, Wis.
Miss Helen Carr, Of Chicago, is
here for a visit with her friend, Miss
Beulah Burgess.
With the passing away this week
in Superior, Wis. of John S. Hadley
another of the pioneer merchants Of
Eldora has gone. Mr.. Hadley was
born in Milwaukee. Wis, 1886. When
a lad of is years, by some misnn-
Outstanding as to his age, he enlisted
in Wisconsin regiment and was
with General Sherman in that men,
orable march from Atlanta to the sea.
Shortly after the civil war Mr.. Had
ley came to Eldora and began work
as timer in hardware store, sub
sequently acquiring the property. In
1884 he was elected mayor Of the
town and was chief magistrate when
Nathan and Frank Rainsbarger were
arrested, charged with the murder
Of Enoch Johnson, Frank Rainsbar-
gers father-i in law. The defendants

his interests here and moved to SUI

Theodore Roosevelt, Mr.. Hadley in his
youth was frail of body, but by force
of determination and outdoor work

him health and strength. To those

Sahara Not So Dry.

It. is no longer The proper thing to
speak Of the desert Of Sahara, for
Sahara, as all geography students
must now know. has great number
of spots--big spots some Of them
that are not only habitable, but in
habited. Sahara, in its fullest ex-
tent, is larger than the United States
with Mexico, Alaska and Central
America added. During the past
quarter Of a century much iRforma-
ton has been gathered about this
vast region, ana there is reason to
believe that this semidesert country
may come to know more.
Information comes of the discovery
of writings, which date back at least
to the time of the Moorish conquest
of southern Spain, which make for
the assumption that Sahara was at
one, time a thickly settled region and
q region of high average civilization.
1t is said that Charles de la Ronciere,
librarian of the national library Of
France, has found such documents.
The Jews of the 18th century had
trading posts all over this Sahara
region. But the belief is that there
is an ancient history Of the green
spots of this part of Africa that
reaches not only far back of the 18th
century, but to time that antedates
the beginning of the Christian era
that dates back very likely to the
time OF Egyptian Cheops.
During the past 20 years the
French have been diligently rediscov-
ering Sahara. They have not only
been rediscovering, but they have
been building railroads. cutting water
channels and doing other things, In

tory of that observation-disclosures Am.

What /. Americanization7

R.. R. Dergance, an American citi..
zen from Slovenia and now a resi-
dent Of Pueblo, Colo, advances the
following as his definition of Ameri-
canization:
"An effort on the part Of the gov
eminent and its citizens to assimi-
late the immigrants coming to our
country by informing them thru
example and education, of American
ideals and the duties and opportuni-
ties of a citizen, thereby SO impress
ing them that they will of their own
accord seek citizenship in the United
States, and qualify themselves to en-
Joy and exercise intelligently and
periodically all the rights and privi-
leges guaranteed every man and
woman by the constitution Of the

COUNTY AGENTS PROMPT
WORK PREVENTS MO-
TOR OIL FAMINE

Alertness on the part of the
county agent in Umatilla County,
Greg, this year prevented a motor
oil famine, which threatened many
thousands of dollars in loss of
crops.
Late in the spring it was found
that due to an embargo there was
little motor fuel on hand for crat-
tors and trucks and that plowing
could not be completed. Farmers
used a diStillate, a lower grade OF
gasoline, for tractors AMI for ope-
rating the combined headers and
thrasherS with which the grain
crops are harvested. DiStillate was
found to be entirely out of the
market. The county agent appealed
TO several California refining Com
panies, and, with the aid of Cali
fornia State Marketing Bureau. sue
ceeded in having about % carloads
of disiillate shipped into the region
The orders of farmers were
pooled and banks were instructed
to honor demands on account OF
those in the pool. The first ship
ment of II carloads, or 10OO,66 gal
Ions. were distributed among III
farmers in May and saved them
50 .O6O. During June two more cars
and July eight more cars were dis
tributed making a total of 285,85I
! gallons of fuel. 1t is estimated thai
the entire savings totaled at least
SIS 900. During the month oi
i June similar service was given
! farmers by couny agents in Nor
row. Sherman and Wasco Counties
In these three counties total OF
1875 900 gallons of distillate were
secured and distributed at a grea
saving.
