Occasionally a woman would fail to sign the Hoover card for fear she would pledge something she would be unable to keep. Interesting facts were brought out by the registration cards.

The housekeeper-stenographer combination was recorded on countless cards. In the last few years In Shawnee county many stenographers have been married and are now housekeepers. But they have not forgotten their former occupations, and for the sake of the country are willing to give their services as stenographers if the work can be done in their home-: town.

May I1.08H- Wheat was entirely Ignored by the majority of dealers, and was held stable thru the agency of the federal food Oats gained to net. The outcome In provisions was a setback of 710c to 32c.

Notwithstanding that the corn market encountered heavy selling on the upturn, commission houses absorbed offerings freely, and reactions were all followed by prompt rallies. A large share of the purchasing seemed to be of an Investment character. The fact was evident that with the crop late the plant -was not making the progress it should to escape possibility of frost damage. Oats developed some independent firmness aside from the strength due to the corn bulge. Millers bought fair quantities of wheat at government prices.

Provisions weakened as a result of a sharp drop In hog quotations. CHICAGO GRAIN FUTURES. Trade.) Closed-Corn Open High Low Wed. Tues.

The speaker detailed the causes of the war and said: "The United States has declared that she can no longer live in safety when there is stalking thruout the earth this thunderous machine of murder. She has cast her lot with the allied countries fighting against the greatest military machine ever erected In the history of the world.

"We want peace. To ask the government of the United States now to specifically state the terms of peace Is to play consciously or unconsciously into the hands of the enemy." After referring to reports of German defeats In Flanders, the speaker shouted amid applause: "Back, back, back from Flanders; back from Serbia; and back, back from France; and then, perhaps.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. 6. (Special) Cattle receipts were 16,000 head, a good Wednesday run, and prices were steady on the best, top $16.25, 10 to 15 cents lower on others.
