FUTURE PRICE. ON CORN IS WEAKENED CHICAGO. Aug. 11. A severe break In prices offered for corn for immediate delivery tended today to weaken the market for futures. Industries were bidding only $1.95 for No. 2 mixed this morning, a drop of 17c as compared with yesterday's last sales. The fresh set-back was attributed to the fact that distillers continued to refrain making any purchases, and appeared to have fully satisfied their wants previous to the enactment of the food measure. Opening Quotations for the futures which varied from unchanged figures to c lower with December at $1.15 to $1,151 and May at $1-11 to $1.12, were followed by a slight rally, and then a decline all around to well below yesterday's finish. Wheat slid downward Influenced by bearish sentiment due to the assumed unlikelihood of any sustained advance in prices under official government food control. After opening unchanged at $2.18 September the market descended to $2.14. Oats weakened with corn. Besides, predictions were current that the government's estimate of the season's yield would yet be raised 100,000,000 bushels. New record breaking upturns In the hog market carried provisions upgrade. The greatest advance was for pork. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO, Aug. 11. The range of futures follows: Wheat Open. High. Low.

KING-9 "The slTkar, . she went on, "the silly elrkar fears that perhaps Turkey may enter the war. Perhaps a jihad may be proclaimed. So much for fear! I know! I have known for a very long time! And I have not let fear trouble me at all!" . Her eyes were on hla steadily, and she read no fear in his, either, for none was there. In hers he saw ambition triumph already excitment the gambler's love of all the hughest risks. Behind them burned genius and the deviltry that would stop at nothing. As the general had told him in Peshawur, she would dare open Hell's gate, and ride the devil down the khyber for the fun of It "Au diable, diable et demle!" the French say; and like most French proverbs it is a wise one. But' whence the devil and a half should come to thwart her was not obvious. "I must be a devil and a half," he told himself, and very nearly laughed aloud at the idea. She mistook the sudden humor In his eyes for admiration of herself, being used to that from men. "Listen, while I tell you all from the beginning! The sirkar sent me to discover what may be this 'Heart of the Hills' men talk about I found these caves and this! I told the sirkar a little about the Caves, and nothing at all about the Sleepers. But even at that they only believed the third of what I said. And I back in Delhi I bought books and borrowed books sent to Europe for more books and hired babu Sita Ram to read them to me, until his tongue grew dry and swollen and he used to fall asleep in a corner. I know all about Rome! Days I spent weeks months listening to the history of their great Caesar, and their little Caesars of their conquests and their games! It was good, and I understood it all! Rome should have been true to the old gods, and they would have been true to her! She fell when she fooled with Christianity!" She was speaking dreamily now, with her chin resting on a hand and an elbow on the ivory arm of the throne, remembering as she told her story. And it means so much to her, she was so In earnest that her voice conjured up pictures for King to see. "When I had read enough I came back here to think. I knew enough now to be sure that the Sleeper is a Roman, and the 'Heart of the Hills' a Grecian maid. She is like me. That is why I know she drove him to make an empire, choosing for a beginning these Hills where Rome had never penetrated. He found her in Greece. He plunged through Persia to build a throne for her! I have seen it all in dreams, and again in the crystal! And because I was all alone, I saw that I would need all the skill I could Thomas Says His Auto "Broke Down" James Thomas, who failed to appear before the examining board when ho was called, took the examination Saturday and passed. Asked by members of the board why he failed to appear when he was ordered to he said his automobile broke down while he was driving from Eaton, O.

"Between times I would go to Delhi and dance there a little, and a little in other, places once indeed before" a viceroy, and once for the king of England and all men the king, too! told me that cone in the world can dance as I can! And all the while I kept looking for the man the man who should be like the "Sleeper, even as I am like her whom he lover! "Many a man many and many a man I have tried nd found wanting! For I was Impatient in spite of resolutions. I burned to find him at once, and begin! But you are the first of all the men I have tester who answered all the tests! ' Languages he must speak the native tongues. Brave he must be and clever resembling the Sleeper In appearance. H began to think long ago that I must forego that last test, for there was none like the Sleeper until you came. And when this world war .- broke for it is a world war, a world war I tell you I thought at last that .1 must manage all alone. And then you came!

Red Cross Provides Fresh Air Farm for Child Victims of Gas

PARIS, Aug. 11 . The American Red Cross has Installed a "fresh air farm" on' a beautiful hillside as a refuge center for 400 children who have been driven from their homes by gas bombs dropped by enemy airplanes. The refuge center formerly was a series of unoccupied barracks, and the Red Cross now is housing in these buildings hundreds of weary, nervous children from the bombed cities. Each child is kept on the "Fresh Air Farm" for ten days at a time. So far as known here, this is the first experiment of the kind ever made. The American' Tuberculosis Commission was received yesterday by President Poincare at Elysee Palace. The commission Includes Dr. Livingstone Farrand, head of the international Health Board established by the Rockefeller Foundation; Homer Folks, director of the civil affairs of the red cross, and Dr. James A. Miller of New York. The commission was presented to the president by Leon Bourgeois, minister of labor. QUAKERS WINNERS IN FIELD GAMES When the Quakers return from their present road trip, watch for Joe Evers' new silk hose, Schick's new silk shirt, and Arch Reilley's sport watch. Before the opening of the game at Grand Rapids last Thursday, a field day program was held, and three Richmond players won prizes. Reilley won the watch in the golf ball driving contest soaking the ball to the scoreboard at the Sox park. Joe Evers won the "bunt and run to first" with the official time at 3 1-5 seconds. Schick ran 75 yards In seven seconds and won a silk shirt In the tug-of-war Essick's men outpulled the Quakers but not until Gilbert's men had the Sox almost over the line. This was an unfair match, however, for the Essick huskies greatly outweigh the Quakers. The contest was arranged by Nick Wolter, Jr., a Grand Rapids sporteman. OPERATORS SENTENCED AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug. 11.

SEES WORLD MEAT FAMINE

world famine of meat after the war world famine of meat after then war are made by Viscount LewU Harcourt He said the decrease of pasture land resulting from more extensive cultivation would reduce the supply of cattle, and the supply of home-produced meat would be further affected by the decision of the war office to feed the army for three months on home grown meat While at the Board of Trade last year he obtained estimates of the German government that it would take five years after the war to restore Germany's stock of cattle to the normal figure of 23,000,000 head. He estimated that after the war, Europe would want to obtain or import 16,000,000 to 20,000,000 head of cattle. For several years Germany would have to feed her people on imported frozen or chilled meat and would come into a market where she had never bought before.
