There was a top of $13.50 on one lot of extra fancy heavy hogs, while tho bulk of the good heavy hogs brought $13.10013.23. _ ... Mediums, mixed and lights brought sl3 @13.10, whereas lights on the Wednesday market brought close around sl3. Pigs and roughs were not materially changed. . . The bulk of sales for the early trading ran close to $13013.10. After the first hour of trading the tone of the market was weak, due to the fact that the market was what Is called a one-man market. Kingan A Cos. was the only local packer to take a number that would iu any way influence the trend of the market, while tho Eastern shippers took only a few odd lots. Receipts for the early forenoon ap proximated 8,000 fresh and approximately 1,200 left over from the Wednes day market, and with only about 4,006 of that number sold, all early lndiea tlons pointed to a poor clearance for the day unless there was a better buying movement started. One of the features of the market was the absence of any large number of axtru heavy hags. The bulk of tho hogr, on the market ran around 200 pounds. There was a good lot of pigs on the market, but trading was rather dull with no demand to speak of. The tone of trading on the cattle market was a little bit better than on the Wednesday market. and prices held steady in most cases to strong on a few good cattle. More of the local packers were in the market today and a better clearance was anticipated. Receipts for the day ran close to 60U fresh cattle at an early hour and it was estimat'd that the total receipts would run close to 1,0)0. There were aiso a few stale cattle held over from the Wednesday market. Trading was fairly active in the cattle market, but the price# did not have a steady trend. Good veals were fully 50 cents higher, but heavy and some of the common und poor calves were fully BO cents to SI.OO lower, with light heavy calves bringing as low as $7.50. There were some heavy calves that brought those prices on the Wednesday market before the close, but that number was small. Receipt* for the day approximated 500. With light receipts at 350, sheep and lambs were steady, with sheep at f1.50 @5, and lambs, $6.50011.50.

GRAIN PRICES STILL DECLINE Largest Loss in Wheat, While Other Grains Followed. CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—The decline in ! grain quotations continued on the Chicago board of trade today. The largest loss was in wheat while other grains followed. Declines in foreign exchange and the general market situation was given as the main reason for the drop. While most quotations showed a slight gain at the opening, lack of buying power soon resulted in losses. Cold weather with snow in some spots was reported over the grain belt. Provisions were higher. December wheat opened at $1.87, up %e, and in later trading lost 5%c. March wheat was off l%c at the opening at j $1.79%, and before the close dropped %c. ! December corn wns unchanged at tho ] opening of 79%c, and later lost 2%c. May j corn was also unchanged at the opening, j 84c, hut dropped l%c before the close. December oats was up %c at the open- j ing, 50%c, and later lost l%c. May oats opened at 60%c. up %c, but before the close dropped l%e. (By Thomson & McKlnon) —Nov. 10Wheat—The re entrance of British commission lnlo tho wheat market came at the psychological moment to be more than ordinarily effective. Estimates of the amount of business are widely at variance In addition to which it is claimed that the demand was mainly for Manitoba. Offerings of wheat In the southwest are about of previous volume. A better demand was reported from Kansas City, but it came largely from elevators presumably with the idea of filling contracts. At no time during the crop I year has the foreign demand followed such advances as appeared in today’s prices. There is no reason to believe i that there will be any change In this method of procedure. Arguing from this standpoint we believe that the selling side again offers opportunity. Corn—The action of wheat has been responsible for considerable buying of corn by former sellers. Market has been helped slightly by an Increase In tue premiums for dally receipts. The present small movement from the country is probably due to the fact that the farmer | is busy in harvesting the crop before the advance of rought wather. One of the leading trade Journals anticipated a . comparatively heavy movement of new I corn within thirty days. Husking returns are showing enormous yields. With the idea of the unwieldlv surplus in alt feedstuffs it Is reasonable to believe that anticipation of lower prices j will prove profitable. Oats —The extreme discount for December oats under May has been attrac- | live to some cash Interests, they appear- ! lug in the market as buyers. Provisions —The only Bhow of strength In the provision list was a reflection of the grain markets. Receipts of hogs are j expected to be very liberal. New demand remains negligible.

BUMPER CORN CROP REPORTED Yield Four Bushels Above Ten-Year Average. The Indiana corn crop for 1920 goes more than four .bushels above the tenyer.r average yield per acre, with the quality considerably above the usual, according to the monthly report of the coopeiative crop reporting service for Indiana, issued today. Practically all other crops reported on this month show a substantial Increase over last year’s production; especially is this true of white potatoes, which are nearly double last year's crop. The report follows : The corn crop now being harvested Is one of the best ever produced in Indiana, notwithstanding the heavy frost on Oct. 2. Weather conditions during Octob'r could hardly have been Improved i pen. but there will be some 'elds of chaffy corn and in some localities it is down badly. The acteage is hardly up to the average, but the yield per acre—4o.s bushels —is more than four bushels above the average, and the heaviest since county records were established in 1914. On this yield a total production of 100,431,000 bushels is forecasted,- compared with 175,750.000 bushels last year. The quality, compared with a high, medium grade, is 92 per cent, and there Is 9.842,000 bushels of last year's crop still on farms. To offset this however, 8.7 per cent of the crop was cut for silage and the yield average 9.4 tons per acre. It Is further estimated that 87 per cent of tho total crop Is of marketable quality. The weight, per measured bushel, of wheat averaged somewhat under the legal standard, being fifty-seven pounds; oats made the full weight of thirty-two pounds and barley made forty-seven pounds. Buckwheat made an average yield of twenty bushels per acre, which Is somewhat higher than shown by the October figures and Indicates a total production of 280.000 bushels, compared with 231,000 bushels last year. The quality Is 93 per cent. The yield of white potatoes averaged ninety-six bushels per acre, and Is nearly double that of last year. From theso figures a total production of 8.640,000 bushels is Indicated, compared with 4,400.000 bushels last year. The quality Is 91 per cent, but 75 per cent of the crop will be consumed on

the farms where produced. Sweet potatoes averaged 120 bushels P-r a*'rc arid Indicates a total production of 260.000 bushels, compared with 315,00) bushels last year. The quality Is 93 per cent and 35 per cent of tho crop will be marketed. The average yield of tobacco is 900 pounds per acre on one of the largest ar reag.-. ever put out, indicating a total production of 16.110,000 pounds, compared with 15,215,(HH) pounds last year. The quality Is S3 per cent of a high, me dluin grade. T !n> total production of apples this year Is 67 per cent Os a fhll crop, and amounts to 6,100.000 buabels, compared with 1,704,000 bushels last year. The quality U only 79 per cent of a high, medium grade, du to the extremely "arm weath r during October affecting the earlier *arle:|es of winter npplei. The yield of clover eed "as very dis appointing in many localities, although the State average Is 1.5 bushels per acre On this figure a total production of 157 On bnshels is indicated, compared with 73,000 buabels last year.

HEALTH GAME FASCINATES AS KIDDIES PLAY IT Science Calls Trappings of Old Days of Knighthood to Its Aid. AND RESULTS SHOWN By FREDERIC J. HASKIX. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Knighthood again is in fuR flower, with all its fascinating accoutrements of banners, knights, dragons, tournaments and a big crusade. The new knighthood is a cleaner Institution, literally, than the old, for it is an organization of school children and their crusade is in search of health. When the knights of the Middle Ages flourished dirt and disease were an accepted part of existence. The famous Order of the Bath originated when a youth presented himself before the- king for knighthood in so odorlferonsly and disgustingly dirty a state that the king suggested that the meeting be adjourned while the young cavalier took an intensive scrub. The results of the unusual bath were so pleasing that cleanliness became more popular, although it was never a hobby with the old crusaders. Now, all the delightfully mouth-filling words of chivalry and the best features of the crusades have been revived as an Irresistible means of Interesting children in the gloomy business of ear washing, going to bed early and abstaining from tea and coffee. The idea has worked. Eight million school children in different parts of the United States have gone enthusiastically in .quest of health. Some of them have been crusading for two years, and the interest of the young squires and knights is still at high pitch. And this lg really remarkable, when you stop to consider how long your remarks on health would be remembered if you were to get up before a school and advise the children in plain language to "clean your teeth, because if you don’t, they will decay and hurt you." This is wbat mothers and teachers have been saying all along with varying success. But when cleaning teeth becomes part of the work necessary for a page to advance to the rank of squire, and when the boy across the aisle is piling up points toward a knighthood by taking a hath every day, cleanliness becomes a desirable estate. MAN WHO STARTED IT TELLS HIS STORY. The story of the crusade was told the other night by the man who started it, Charles De Forest, the crusader executive, who is connected with the National Tuberculosis Association. Several years ago Mr. De Forest felt that hia little son was leading too carefree an existence and that he should have some kind of work to and thing on the order of the chores of his own boyhood. As no appropriate odd Jobs could be found, Mr. De Forest made out a chart and wrote on it eleven health chores, *uch as "I played out doors or with the windows open more than thirty minutes today,” and "I washed my hand before meal today." At the end of the week the points were added and if the boy had a satisfactory number he was rewarded by a small Increase over hi* regular allowance. When a plan was wanted for teaching health to school children. Mr. De Forest elaborated his little game and decked It out with the trappings of chivalry. After two weeks’ probation a child who got 57 points out of a possible 75, by doing the health chores, became a crusader. In three weeks more he was raised from the low rank of page to that of squire. Then, In five more week of healthfulness—all recorded on his own chart and vouched for by his parents—the squire became a knight and eventually a knight banneret. Each year Mr. De Forest has had to add new features to meet, thp children’s demand for something new. The knight’s pin, which Is plated with a very thin coat of gold. Is different each year. New ranks, too, are devised, such as knight advanced order and then knight banneret advanced order, which entitles the holder to wear a bit of scarlet or purple ribbon with the badge. THE ROUND TABLE ADDED FEATURE.

This year the newest featnre Is a round table, suggested by King Arthur’s famous board. To win a seat at the round table, a knight has to collect a required number of points by athletics, correct posture and weight, study of hygiene ana first aid. It is all very real and important to the children. The story of the old knights Is taught in most schools, so they know enough of the dashing heroes of the middle ages to be eager to Imitate them. Here In the District of Columbia and In several States, the crusade has been made a part of the public school curriculum with each teacher in charge ot her grade's progress. One clever teacher wrote a play in which a long, spotted dragon, "Disease,” tormented a flock of dirty, slck-looklng people, until the King Good Health with his knights of the Toothbrush. Bath and other symbols of cleanliness, came riding In to slny the dragon and march off bearing his ferocious head in triumph on a stick. Schools that make good progress in the health crusade enter their record each year in a national tournament—The Field I of the Cloth of Gold—and the winning State Is awarded the silver banneret cup, until one State shall win the three legs j by three years of record-breaking eru- j aade work. lowa now has the cup. With j these devices and other incidental attractions, the cooperation of the children and ' their parents Is maintained. Here In the District, Vice President 1

In China, a few schools are struggling against considerable odds to Join tho health crusade. The number of children organized is insignificant in a country ot 400,000.000 people, many of them starvation poor. But it is regarded as an encouraging start, for in two communities bathhouses have been built so regular bathing could be introduced Into towns hitherto unwashed. Japan is crusading, too, and has celebrated In a typically Japanese way by producing and exporting toothbrushes ol bamboo with fibre bristles at the remarkably low price of 4 cents. Cheap brushes may help to solve the difficult problem of how to get individual toothbrushes Into families where every penny is spent before it is earned. Korea is attempting the crusade, and Alaska, Canada, Cuba, Porto Rico, Italy, and 600 schools In France. From Franc* comes the story that In certain districts a peasant bathes only before his confirmation by the church, and again be. fore his wedding. This is due partly tl the scarcity of water, but the health crusade leaders succeeded in putting a bath on the family calendar oftener than on state occasions. In one village, where the children seemed to have no idea howto go about a bath, the teacher took one or two to her house every week and let them watch her bathe her baby in Its tub. The chore of drinking four glasses of water a day and no coffee or tea or other injurious drink had to be modified in France so that the crusaders promise to drink coffee with milk instead of the customary black coffee, and wine diluted with water instead of pure wine. Some people have asked if the dramatization of health is really popular with children of the grammar grades. Mr. De Forest maintains that it is, otherwise the crusade would have died a natural death long since. Washington is a typical city, where tho project has been put over with a swing, and its figures show 35,505 children enrolled iu the ctusade, practically all of the pupils from the third to the eighth grades. Os these 34,844 became pages, in the last crusade; 25.454 became squires: 20,244 became knights, and 18,222 knights banneret. If you have any doubts that health education of some kind is needed in the schools consider that of the 22,000,000 school children in the United States, 1.000,000 have defective hearing, mostly curable: 5,000.000 have defective eyes; more than 1.000,000 have, or have had tuberculosis, and between three and five million suffer from malnutrition.
