Chicago Grain

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 3.-Notwith-
standing extremely pesSlmistlc crop
reports from Spring wheat areas ootn
north and south Of the Canadian
border, wheat prices today closed
lower
An outburst of weekend pront-
taking sales proved more than suffl-
cient at the last to counteroalance
the effect of indications that millions
of acres of domestic Spring wheat
will not be worth expense of threSh-
ing. A contributing late bearish in
fiuence was the fact that domestic
primary receipts of wheat today were
the largest yet this season.
Wheat closed nervous, Is to cent
under yesterdays finish; September,
8ea4 a897s; corn, 12alls down; Sep
tember, 7734a777s; oats, 1al4s on,
and provisions, unchanged to rise OF
is cents.
Setbacks of prices during the final
half hour Of trading today were in
the face of statements by a leading
authority that not more than 80 per
cent of the North Dakota bread wheat
crop will grade No. or better. Fears
were also expressed at this stage that
rains reported in Canada would &C
centuate development of rust. Earlier
q notable though transient impulse to
speculative demand resulted from
Washington adviceS that Canada's
wheat crop damage areas were ex-
tending.
It was emphasized that inasmuch
as the harvesting Of the major part
of the Canadian crop would not take
place for two or three weeks, the out
look was very unsatisfactory. An
other stimulus to wheat buyers came
from predictions of considerably in
creased feeding of domestic wheat to
live stock. A reason given for pros
pective augmented feeding was asser-
tions that large part of the 1885
domestic wheat field is unfit for mill
ing.
Corn and oats displayed independ-
ent weakness, owing good deal to
suspicious weather for corn growth.
AL deliveries of oats touched new
low price records for the season.
Provisions reflected scantiness Of
stocks on hand, lard the lightest in
80 years.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, August up.
Commodity prices for the last week
in July continued the upward trend
noted in the past few weeks. While
many items remained more or less
staple, the majority showed increases.
Out Of IA individual groups which
comprise the McGill weekly price in
dex, eight groups advanced, only one
declined, and five groups remain the
same as the previous week. Those
groups registering an advance were
industrial products, agricultural, live
stock, hides and leather, non-ferrous
metals, ferrous metals, coarse textiles
and vegetable oils. The only group to
decline was paint materials.
Industrial prices showed a very
slight upward tendency during the
week just closed, holding within the
narrow range noted for several weeks.
Farm Prices Increase.
Agricultural prices, rejecting the
varying trends Of the items included,
registered q slight increase over the
previous week. The items which ad-
vanced were wheat. barley, rye, eggs,
flaxseed and butter, more than Off
setting declines in such commodities
as corn, oats and potatoes.
Live stock prices during the week
increased in rather large proportions.
rejecting principally extensive gains
in cattle prices. Hogs and sheep also
recorded increases.
The hide and leather index recorded
a very slight gain, due chiefly to an
increase in the price of upper leather.
The ferrous metal group registered
an increase due entirely to substan-
tial gain in steel scrap prices. Nom
ferrous metals, however, recorded prac-
tically no change, the only item show
ing a noticeable gain being tin.
Coarse textile prices registered an
increase due principally to higher
prices for hemp and sisal. Kopok
prices, however, were revised down.
ward slightly.
Vegetable oils recorded a slight gain
which was chiefly due to higher quo
tations for China wood and cottorseed
oils.

Surprising Increase
 In Money Orders Here
Italy, Ireland Lead Nations of World in Receipt Of - Local Christmas Remembrances- Record Expected

Dec. 1 to Dec. 18th as local resi- dents send money orders for Christ mas gifts to parents and relatives in foreign lands. There is every in- dication that international money order business here for the entire Christmas season will reach the highest totals since 1929.
 Postmaster Babin again today urged those planning to send money orders abroad to do, so as soon as possible. He pointed out that the tlaSt sailings in time for Christmas are very shortly after mid-December. Packages should also be sent to European addresses by next week, he said, if they are to reach their destinations by Christmas.
 Most of the money orders from Waterbury go to Italy, 8 study oi the listings shows. Ireland is ir second place, followed in order by Lithuania, Poland and Germany with numerous other countries be- hind.
 Postal officials are of the opinion that the improved pre-holiday busi- ness is a reflection of better gener. al conditions in Waterbury. They claim that international money or. der business is a reliable barometer of local employment and spending power.

ployed on the EZRA who are now charges of the city welfare depart ment, or the number who have found private employment and ex- plained that the check now under way is being made with the object of answering these questions.
 Ignore Summons
 Action will undoubtedly be taken against such persons who are found to have neglected the summons to appear at the, state employment office for WPA work, it was said. Cards notifying all former NERA workers that WPA employment was available were sent out from the state employment office last week, but few appeared to apply for the jobs.
 In spite of the fact that news paper and radio publicity was given to the situation early this week, the response has not greatly im- proved, according to Arthur J. Col- lins, manager of the office. MT. Col- lirs said there seemed to be a general impression that anyone in need of a job was to be given work, and that there had been an increase in the number of applications, but that the EZRA employees were still remaining away. He said he didn't believe that many cases of avoid- ance would be discovered, and that in all probability many of the men were now back in the factories. '"They probably have received the cards, but being now employed, sim ply decided to ignore them" MT. Collins said.
 CertificatiOn
 He requested that the fact be once more stressed that any person giv- en employment on the WPA must be certified" by relief authorities. Briefly, this means that in order to be eligible, one must have. been approved by department of public welfare officials or the state ERA commission.

LOCAL MINISTER
 ATTACKS MORGAN

Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, preach
 ing at the union Thanksgiving ser-
 vice at the First Methodist church
 yesterday morning, criticised the
 attitude of J. P. Morgan toward
 the government and stated the fi-
 nancier has had too much influ-
 ence in Washington over con-
 siderable number of years.
 Some of us would like to protest
 MT. Morgan's complaint about
 working for the government eight
 months out of the year." Dr. Walk
 CT said. We have a feeling that
 the government worked for MT.
 Morgan in times past and that turn about would be fair play"
 Expressing another thought, the
 speaker declared, "No one supposes on the basis of recent events that
 the small investor gets the same
 consideration, the same even-hand- ed justice as the banker of inter- national reputation. No one sup poses that the poor man gets the same kind of justice as the rich man in our American courts. How could he when our legal procedure is 50 tardy, so complicated, so tech- nical? No one supposes that the inorganized majority of the body polite gets the same careful con- sideratoin as the militant organized determined minority. No, we have not achieved final and ultimate justice in these United States and all the greater praise to the busi- ness men, the industrial leaders, the statesmen who stand out from the crowd as men who are deter mined to the best of ability and
 within the limitations imposed by
 our present economic system. to achieve and maintain an honest ana Q just relationship in the conduct of their own affairs.'
 Dr. walker paid tribute to the early Ptritans whose records he de- scribed as great and glorious.

FORMER PASTOR
 TO OPEN SCHOOL
Rev. Mir. Lowell to Attack Divorce in Pre-Nuptial
 Instructions

Nationwide publicity has been given the announcement of Rev. Moses R. Lowell, pastor of the Sec- ond Congregational church at Holy oke, Mass, former pastor of the Second Congregational church of Waterbury that he will open pre- nuptial school for prospective brides and bride-grooms the second week of January.
 He will be assisted by other edu- cators. The students will be taught to judge for themselves whether they are selecting temperamentally suited mates.
 ''Mismating is caused mainly by the fact that most young people marry in haste and repent at leis- ure" Dr. Lowell is quoted as saying 'The place to stop divorce is before the young people ever get married J
 The school will be oper to young people between the ages of 18 and 25 in Rev. MT. Lovell's congregation of 1900 members. It will be recalled that three years ago, he established a financial service for his congrega- tiMi at Waterbury, whereby he in- terviewed creditors and debtors and attempted to adjust their doffer- efceS.

With the peak period yet to come, international money order business at the local post office shows large increases over last year, it was re- ported today by Postmaster Charles Babin. Money orders to be cashed in foreign countries show an in crease of IS per cent in number over the figures for this time last year, while the total value of the orders has also jumped by IS per cent.

ing the keynotes of freedom In unmis-
taxable tones. He was a country law
yer who had made an early marriage
rather foolishly and was struggling to
keep a growing family in the neces-
sites of life when, in 1853, he became
aroused in behalf of what was known
as 1.-THE Parsons Cause" concerning
the right of the clergy to receive the
same price for their tobacco as other
Colonists. In 1765 Henry was elected
to the Virginia House of Burgesses.
From time he took his seat he intro
duced act after act defining the rights
of the colony, especially in the matter
of the obnoxious stamp tax and,
against great opposition, carried all Of
his resolutions through the sheer force
of his logic and his eloquence.
This made Patrick Henry the leader
of the colony, in many senses of the
word.
Patrick Henry came rightly by his
love of freedom, his historical sense
and powers of oratory. For he was
a cousin of the historian, William Rob-
ertson, of Scotland, and of the mother
of Lord Brougham. His mother was
a Winston of that noted English fam
lily and his father saw to it that he had
a classical education and every pos
sible advantage in the way of proper
learning.
In 1774 Henry was foremost in the
call to form a Continental congress.
George Mason, author of the Bill Of
Rights, himself an author and patriot
of more than usual ability, said of Hen
ry: "He is by far the most powerful
speaker / ever heard. Every word he
says not only engages, but commands
the attention, and your passions are
no longer your own when he addresses
them. But his eloquence is the small
est part Of his merit. He is in, my
opinion, the first man upon this con-
tinent, as well in abilities as in pub
lie virtues, and had he lived in Rome
about the time of the first Punic war,
when the Roman people had arrived at
their meridian glory, and their virtues
not furnished, Henry's talents must
have put him at the head of that glor-
ious commonwealth.
OF course, 1t was In his great speech,
familiar to every schoolboy in which
he shouted for all to hear-kings and
commoners alike-"Give me liberty or
give me death" that he rose to his SUI
preme heights of eloquence and
achieved for himself undying and de-
served fame.
It is said that many of his predic-
lions as to the future of the federal
government read like prophecy In the
light Of subsequent history.

So, July became the day we cele-
brate because it was not until then
that the congress was ready to go be-
fore the Judgment of the people and
of other nations with a candid state
ment of the causes that impelled them
to the severance of the ties that had
long bound them to the mother coun-
try. The act was not consummated
without long and careful elaboration.
The idea of independence had been
long a-borning. The fashioning of the
great document that babe defiance to
the king and proclaimed a new nation
was not as smooth and easy task as
it may appear from a reading of the
beautifully engrossed transcript in the
archives at Washington now accepted
as "the original Declaration of indie
pendence."
The idea of a declaration of indie
pendence had its birth Is years prior
to July 4, 1776. James Otis, the fiery
tongued orator." sounded the first note
in the state house at Boston in 1851.
Nearly a month before the writing of
the formal declaration, Richard Henry
Lee, as spokesman for the Virginia
delegation in congress, introduced his
resolution which, so far as the record
was concerned, finally became the
formal declaration. 1t precipitated
serious debate, for there were many
who "were not ready for the ques-
ton" On June II, a committee was
appointed to prepare a suitable dec
