CORN MARKET MAKES UPWARD PRICE MOVE

CHICAGO, June 8. Cora moved upward in price today largely as a result of buying in anticipation of small receipts and of increased cash demand later. Opinions prevailed '.hat wheat would be given preference in the movement of grain from producing sections. The readiness with wh'ch offerings were absorbed made sellers cautious. Opening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to He lower with July 136 137 were followed by a material advance all around. Dealers in oats appeared to regard the bearish character of the government crop report as having been fully discounted in advance. Export inquiry was again in evidence. After opening off to a like advance, the market scored a substantial gain. Provisions hardened owing to the strength of corn. Trade was light.

HOOVER HAS NEW PLAN TO FORCE FAIR FOOD PRICE Dealers and Consumers Will Be United to Control the Cost. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 8. A plan of limiting retail food prices that will practically fix maximum prices of staple articles of foodstuffs for the country was announced today by Food Administrator Hoover. A price interpreting committee composed of representatives of the wholesalers, retailers, and consumers will be named in every community. This board will ascertain fair retail prices on the basic commodities that comprise a large part of the people's diet.

The prices so arrived at will be published. Makeup of the Boards. Representatives of the wholesale and retail trades serving on the board will be appointed by trade associations. They will serve with a representative of the consuming public. The local food administrator kill serve as chairman. The published lists will show the maximum prices that should be charged in both the cash and credit stores. Newspapers Aswed to Aid. Newspapers will be asked to co-operate, running the lists with footnotes on the food problem and the use of substitutes for the foods most needed abroad. Consumers will be asked to report any stores charging more than the announced prices. Investigation of these will separate the patriotic dealer from the profiteer. Control over the retail stores may be exercised by instructing licensed wholesale dealers to sever business relations with the firms which exacted more than a rea

sonable charge. Retail price reporters are being appointed in every county in the United States.

RURAL SITUATION IN RUSSIA IMPROVES

CBy Associated Press) MOSCOW, Sunday, June 2. The railroad situation In Russia has improved somewhat, according to the report made to the Central executive committee of the Soviet by N. Nevsky, assistant commissioner of railroads. This is particularly true in Siberia, where coal and other fuel are being obtained more easily. The assistant commissioner said that the percentage of disabled locomotives was about thirty. Cars showed a higher percentage and repair shops are unable to cope with the problem owing to the lack of metal and parts. In European Russia, the railroads are congested with eipty cars, the number on some lines reaching 10,000. Although the Germans captured scores of thousands of cars and several thousand locomotives, Navsky said, Russia still had plenty. In 1917, Russia had 560,000 cars and over 20, 000 locomotives, but the number was now considerably lower. The reduction would probably not be felt greatly because of the reduction in Russian milage from 45,000 miles to 35,000. A new law in New York prohibits the , employment of women under twenty-one as telegraph messengers. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

NEW STEP TAKEN TO MAKE COUNTRY 'DRY' DURING WAR Senate Bill Planned to Meet the Views of President Wilson. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 8. A movement to make the nation "bone dry" for the period of the war assumed a formidable aspect today when senate prohibitionists announced they had formulated legislation to circumvent President Wilson's objection to the Randall amendment to the agricultural extension bill. A straight out prohibition proposal has been drafted as a substitute for the Randall amendment recently passed by the house, which denied $6,000,000 for agricultural extension unless the president shall forbid . use of foodstuffs for the manufacture of beer and wines. The senate substitute would absolutely forbid the use and sale of all alcoholic beverages for the period of the war. Will Force Showdown. Prohibitionist leaders said after a canvass of the situation, that they would have the votes to force adoption of this drastic proposal and they expect to force a showdown within the next few days. Regarding the Randall amendment the president took the position that with 100,000,000 gallons of whiskey in stock the effect of the measure would be to put the nation on an entirely whiskey drinking basis for at least a year, and that it would do more harm than good to the prohibition cause.

WILL BRING SWIFT RETRACTION FOR U. S.

(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 8 Mistreatment by Germany of American prisoners will bring swift retraction for the United States. This was made clear in the answer of the state department published today to the note of the German government transmitted through the Swiss embassy offering to exchange Siegfried Paul London, a German born naturalized American citizen now serving sentence in Germany for acting as a Russian spy, for Vranr. V'nn Rintelen. imprisoned in

this country in connection with bomb

plots. The German note intimating that should the offer of exchange be relerted hv thp United States mistreat

ment of Americans in Germany might

follow, brought a statement rrom &ecretary Lansing, that Germany's action would be met promptly. In connection with the publication of the German note and the American ronlv a statement issued bv the war

department shows that there are at

present 133 American soldiers in oerman nHson camns and 216 American

civilians interned there in compari

son with approximately rive tnousana Germans interned in this country, including 1,310 prisoners of war. Secretary Lansing, in his communication to the German government, however, made it plain that the United States does not recognize reprisals of physical suffering, but upon plain aggravation by Germany might be brought to adopt such measures. Algeria has 7,500.000 acres of forests.

MURRETTE, SUNDAY AND MONDAY

TRUE BLUE WILLIAM .FOX PRODUCTION

Krager hsnes Warning Against Impersonators "Complaints have reached the Bureau that persons selling a farmers' account book are using the name "war income tax agent" in the atempt to. force the sale of this book. "The activities of these impersonators, coming as they do at a time when special appeals are being made to the fanners of the country to pay their income taxe3, are particularly obnoxious. "Immediate and effective steps must be taken to protect the taxpayers, and they are warned to assure themselves that persons seeking information regarding their income tax statements are authorized officers of the Treasury Department, and all Impersonators should be reported to this office promptly. "The penalty for impersonating a Revenue Officer with wrongful intent is a fine of not more than 1,000 or imprisonment for not more than thre years, or both. Arrests will be followed by vigorous prosecution." Respectfuly, PETER J. KRUGER, Collector.

SUGGESTIONS FAVOR RAISING MORE FUNDS

WASHINGTON, June 8. With Benjamin C. Marsh, of the Farmer's National committee on war finance, expected to conclude his testimony today before the house ways and means committee, engaged in drafting a new general revenue bill designed to raise $8,000,000,000,000 by taxation during the fiscal year, suggestions thus far received by the committee, favor raising several million dollars more revenue by increased import duties and a heavier tax on incomes and excess profits. Methods of increasing the revenue suggested by members of the committee at the initial hearing yesterday included a plan of representative Albert Johnson of Washington for graduated taxes on second class mail matter and of Representative Moore of Pennsylvania for a tax on cotton. Robert S. Crookins, of the war industries board, in discussing a proposed higher excess profits tax told the committee that the government should standardize designs and prices for clothing. Though Secretary McAdoo has requested that the new measure be drafted so as to raise $8,000,000,000 by taxation and although the house committee has indicated it will comply so far as possible with the request, it has been learned that many senators, including leading members of the snate finance committee, favor reduc

tion of the total to $6,000,000,000,000, leaving the remainder of the estimated $24,000,000,000 required to run the government next year to be raised by loans.
