hood the name of Chateau-Thierry
brings tinge of deep sadness, inter

that American valor first startled the
world, and rescued an imperiled Paris
from the oncoming horde of German
soldies. Here American boys, the
flower of our land-snatched from
college and off ice-with a few
weeks of training, met soldiers whose
training from childhood had been
along military lines. and completely
routed and defeated them by the su-

TIME TO SELL
HOGS, HADVICE
West Looking For &c
Price-Now 10 Cents
Here

Now is the time to sell your hogs,
according to indications. The best
price in some time is being paid here,
although the quotations are slumping
off in the north and west. In fact,
the South just now is getting as much
for hogs as is being paid in Chicago,
there being no differential on account
of "soft" meat. A friend of the
Times Recorder, who also les friend
of the farmer, submits the following
information:
"Hogs are now worsh about 20
cents on foot.
September ribs (curedl are quoted
$50. Cash ribs are quoted f. .. b.,
Chicago 9.25 to 1925, according to
weight 1t appears that it is a good
time to sell on foor, and / am ad-
vised that some are being held for
higher prices in this section.
PACKERS at Chicago and in the
west look for 6-cent hogs in Novem-
Der. They have very heavy corn
crop and corn is not over 40 cents
on farm.
clogs are bringing a good price
now on account of high prices for
hams and fresh pork and pork loins."
A farmers cooperative sale will
be staged at the Americus pens to-
morrow. A high bid is already held
by County Agent Marshall for the Of
fering, and it is also announced that
No. Q hogs will command the same
price as No. Is, because of the keen
demand right now for animals.

BERLIN, Aug. 1S.-Russia needs
the sympathy cf every human heart
and the aid of =yery charitable hand.
The news embargo of the government
is quite as disastrous as the CONNER
cial embargo of the Allies.
Not only is there material starva-
ton. There is also religious and in
telectual starvation. Medical and
scientific men have had no journals
and no communication with confreres
abroad for years.
Few newspapers are published and
these contain no real news. Also
these have little circulation, being
placed on billboards for accidental
readers.
The government controls all press
es and no special publications, eth
er religious or scientific, are possible.
There is real horror in this intel
leCtual isolation.
