Chicago Board of Trade.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-War talk
prompted higher prices today fvr
wheat. The market closed strong
at 1Ac to &c net gain, with De-
cember $1.01% to $1.02 and May
s1.06% to s1.06%.
Corn finished %c to Nc up and
oats sc to NC to 1%c. In provi-
sions the outcome was unchanged
to 27c higher.
At first wheat traders were in
clined for the most part to treat
war possibilities lightly as mar
ket factor. Liverpool quotations
giving no sign of any disturbance
and opinions being expressed here
that Europeans were without funds
to pay for Augmented supplies of
foodstuffs. Later. however, the
rank and file of dealers showed a
disposition to take a more serious
view of the situation especially as
to likelihood Of an open breach be-
tween great European powers.
Estimates that 100000 bushels of
wheat had been purchased for
transatlantic shipment attracted
notice in this connection.
~ was Aui tiiCi stilu liIdt IllTct
million more bushels of United
States hard winter wheat had been
sold to exporters this week and
that practically all Chicago-owned
wheat at the seaboard or on the
lakes had thus been disposed Of.
Corn and oats sympatIized with
the wheat advance. Besides. ex-
porters were after corn to a mod
crate extent. Shorts covered free
ly both corn and oats. Strength In
hogs and grain was reflected by
the provision market. Packers
bought lard.

PRACTICE FOR GRID ELEvENs
Preliminary Preparation Essential for
Hardening Players for Important
Contests.

In regard to the suggested curtail-
ment of the football season, a foot
ball coach expressed the hope the
other day that the faculty will allot
the players at least time enough to
learn the signals
AS a matter of fact, preparation for
football does not take up as much
time as college oarsmen have to put
in, and there has been no clamor
against rowing as against football.
Preliminary football practice Is es-
sential in hardening the players for
a wear and tear which come with the
start of the season, and outside of the
faculty members it would be difficult
to find one football authority who
would approve of sending men into
football games before they are in con-
dition to play. The coaches all op-
pose it.

GREAT CATASTROPHE
THREATENS LIVE
STOCK INDUSTRY

The Oregon State Humane
Society has had surveys made of
range conditions in that state
and authorizes the statement
that there will be heavy losses
OF cattle and sheep this winter
on the ranges from starvation.
A report to the Chicago Drovers
Journal says: There are bone
dry conditions over large areas
OF the western range states.
Livestock is going into winter
quarters with famine staring it
in the face and prices of hay ad-
vanclng rapidly. Credit has
been largely exhausted and ad-
vances by the war Finance Cor
poratlon to banks and cattle loan
companies have relieved the
banking situation but will not
save the stock. Cowmen are
mortgaging their ranches to buy
hay. Losses from the slump in
prices of cattle are heavy, and
individual herders and cattle
firms will be helpless to save
their stock. Losses of half a
million head in eastern Oregon
last winter will reach into mil
lions if the coming winter is
not mild and open." Col. Hofer
appeared before the national
Humane convention in st. Paul
with plea for the range stock
and advocates state and national
action to save the industry from
terrible losses, if the coming
winter is a hard one.

FOUR YEAR TERM OF
 OFFICE is URGED

There has been considerable discus sion in Phoenix of late relative to the advisability of increasing the term of county and state elective officers from two to four years and movement is now on foot to have such a bill intro duced in the special session.
 Advocates of the four-year term idea declare that under the present system an officer gets to devote no more than IS months to state business and that the remainder of the time must necessarily be spent in cam- paigning for reelection, either to that office or some other.
 Again, it is pointed out, the official, in two years time does not have an opportunity to prove his worth to the office, and as far as financial better ment is concerned usually quits his two year term poorer than when he entered the office. This is due in part to the fact that his campaign has cost him something, and very often he is put to additional expense of moving his family to the capital city.
 There is a question whether mat ter of this kind might properly come under the call of the governor.
