WHEAT PRICES
STEADY DESPITE
FLUCTUATION

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Wheat again
displayed steadiness in price today.
There was some buying on the re-
ports of slight frost at Moose Jaw,
and also some buying of futures
credited to eastern houses.
Profit-taking sales and hedging
about balanced these, however. OPP
ening quotations, which varied from
unchanged figures to 12c higher
with September s123A to $1.23A,
and December at s1.251a to S1.26.
were followed by a slight set back
and then by slight rally to the
open opening figures.
In the last half hour the market
rallied on reports of frosts in the
"a "a nc net higher with September,
SL24A 70 $1.241a, and December,
$1.25 to $1.26A.
Corn displayed weakness mainly
through lack of suprlrt. After
opening 1sc decline with September
at 561ac and 56Ac, the market
sagged and gave no early indica-
ton of rallying.
Offering was liberal and the mar
ket closed slow, a shade net lower
with September at 56ss 056Ac.
Oats were dull, opening I'M
changed to 1sc advance, with Sep
TENDER at SEC to 361sc but later
sagged all around, September drop
ping below Soc for the first time
this year. Trading was light, pro-
visions steady.

ExPEL WOMAN
AT SHENANDOAH

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 13-A street
talk by Mrs. Ida Crouch Hazlett, a
Socialist, was interrupted Thurs
day night at Shenandoah, Iowa,
according to a special dispatch re-
ceived here, when Thomas Murphy,
an American Legion Post command
er, and other former service men
took her from an automobile in
which she was speaking. She was
taken for a short ride into the
country in another motor car and
returned to a hotel, and later was
refused permission to speak by

disturbance would result.

NOON LETTER

Chicago, Aug. ia moderate
dip in wheat seems to be expected
On Monday based on liberal re-
ceipts. Kansas City should receive
700 to 500 cars of wheat Chicago
holds around four million wheat On
track, otherwise the liberal ship
ments would suggest a big decrease
this week. Chicago also holds
about two thousand cars of corn
and three thousand cars OF oats on
track. The new oats crop is 1,137,-
100000 bushels, of 32-pound oats,
and the report of measured bushels
Is wrong. Corn crop looks 3,100, =
100000 on current weather. De-
cember corn has sagged from 60A
to So cents since Aug. l.

The Spirit of the Legion.

Three years ago under the leader
ship of General Pershing, the United
States built up in short time, one Of
the greatest armies the world has ev-
er known. 1t was composed Of young
men, of whom more than enc hum
dred thousand were Minnesotans.
The greatness of that army was
due to it's patriotism, which gave all,
even life, without counting the cost,
for love of liberty and country. That
spirit did not die when the American
Army -disbanded. 1t still lives in the
hearts of 100000 men of whom
more than 100000 have united ia
the American Legion.
The American Legion represents
patriotism, loyalty to country and
comrades, devotion to the ideals and
principles on which the republic is
founded. 1t stands Loyalty behind its
disabled buddies and insists that
they receive proper care, treatment
and compensation. And it stands fol
the square deal for all former ser
vice men. But above all, it stands
for, it works for, and it believes il
