WHEAT ALSO UP Oil CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, July 24. General selling 3f corn resulted today chiefly from oewa of the breaking of a two months' drought in north central Kansas. It was said that there had been some increase on rural offerings of corn by farmers who had been tempted by high prices to dispose of their livestock. Renewal of peace gossip from Washington tended further in ' some degrees to tide the bears. Opening quotations which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to lc lower with September te 163 to 163 , were followed by a moderate set back all ground. Wheat gave way with corn. Difficulties hindering the progress of food control legislation seemed to act somewhat as a weight on the market. After opening unchanged at 259 July and 221 September, prices hardened a trifle, and then underwent a decided sag. Oats were depressed by unloading on the nart of a big house which had

recently been a conspicuous purchas

er. Favorable harvest returns counted against the bulls. Weakness of grain pulled down provisions. Higher quotations on hogs appeared to be ignored.

TO USE FAIRS

WASHINGTON, July 24. The government is going to use the leading fairs and expositions throughout the country to bring to Americans a better understanding of why the United States is at war, and the great problem that must be solved if victory is to be won.

That historical period In furniture development marked by the years 1702-1714 and known today as the "Queen Anne," may be recognized in our modern adaptations by the singular beauty of its contours and the unusual comfort of its design. Prominent in Queen Anne pieces, and admirably illustrated in the chair shown above, is the cabriole leg the symmetrical "kneed" pattern which often ends in a hoof, solid or cloven. The back, if the piece is a chair, is often "spooned" and usually is shaped to the natural contour of the body. A recessed stretcher, was used beneath the seat to connect the two side stretchers and the seat itself is sometimes serpentine in its front outline. The cockle shell is a familiar carved decoration on Queen Anne pieces, which in matter of distinction as well as comfort have few rivals in present-day furniture fashions.
