MARKETS!
MARKET SHOWS BEARISH TENDENCY
CHICAGO. June 13. Fine weather nd prospects that it would continue during at least the next two days gave an advantage today to the bears in corn.- Liberal receipts tended also to weaken prices. The market declined rapidly under general selling by commission houses. Opening prices, which ranged from 1-8 to 3-4c lower with July $1.44 1-4 to $1.44 1-2, and August $1.46, were followed by a material further setback. Oats dropped with corn. A feature was selling on the part of cash houses, presumably hedging against purchases of oats to arrive. After opening 1-S to 7-8 off wits July 70 5-8 to 71 1-4, the market underwent an additional sag. Provisions sympathized with the weakness of grain. Besides liberal receipts of hogs counted as a depressing factor.

Some
Serviceable YVvbod Silos
, As part of the naton-wde campiin in the interest of maximum ;food production and utilization, government and private agencies have inaugurated a movement to make tJie present summer the greatest Filo-building period in the history of the country. Scarcely a farm experiment station in the land is not actively co-oper?.ting in this work. Thousands of farmers have long recognized the advantage of being feble, with silo:;, to keep cattle in the best condition throughout the winter months lv feedinc thorn ptpmi
feed. Other thousands who have not j fully appreciated the silo heretofore lire expected to be reached as a result j of the educational efforts now being!
jjut forth. The Best Kind of Silo. With increased attention attracted
to the silo, the question is arising in! the minds of many as to what is the j liest material to be used in thia form i of construction. Various kinds of'
silos aro being exploited in the advertising columns of the newspapers and farm journals. It appears, however, that, based on the opinion and experience of many authorities, wood makes the silo of greatest durability and best general service. Aside from the fact that the cost of lumber is less than for any other building material, the expense of erecting a wooden silo is less, as the farmer can do the work himself, with the help of ordinary farm labor. The oldest silos in existence, still in use, are of wood. In point of proved efficiency, the wood silo occupies an absolutely impregnable position. The farmer with years of silo experience is certainly the judge whose opinion can be depended on. That the wood silo is the farmers choice, was strikingly evidenced as the result of an actual count made in the state of Kansas, which showed that Kansas had 5,715 silos, and of that total 5,155 were
wood in other words, there were nearly ten times as many silos of wood as there were of all other materials together. The Wood to Use. I These qualities found in Southern Pine make it supreme as the material for silo construction breaking strength, crushing strength, stiffness and toughness, combined with great durability. The last quality is due to its fine, even, compact grain and the fact that it contains a quantity of pitch and resin, natural repellants of moisture and decay. There are almost as many avail-. able testimonials indorsing Southern Pine silos as there are testifying to the superiority of wood silos. An illustrated booklet for farmers, "How to Choose and How to Use a Silo," is offered by the Southern Pine Association of New Orleans, for free distribution, as the contribution of the Association to the national silobuilding campaign.
FLAG DAY WILL BE OBSERVED HERE
Pennsylvania railroad employes will observe Flag day Friday with a flag raising at three points at the Richmond offices. The programs will be given, at 1 o'clock, at the car department in the east yards, at the shops at Twelfth street, and at the freight house on Sixth and North D streets. Several four minute men will deliver addresses. W. D. Foulke is to be the speaker at the exercises to be held at the freight house. The program to be given at each place will be as follows: Bugle call, flag raising, salute, and pledge, American creed, address, and mass singing of "America." The exercises are being held at the request of Commissioner P. P. Claxton of the Bureau of Education, and are being conducted at points on the Pennsylvania east from Pittsburgh. The Elks will give a Flag Day program Friday evening at 7 o'clock on the lawn at the Elks club. The general public is invited to the exercises. William Dudley Foulke will speak and music will be furnished by the city band.
GARDEN ARMY HEADS GET INSTRUCTION
The responsibility of the war garden army officers was emphasized by Garden Director Murphy at a meeting held with the officers at the Commercial Club Thursday evening. One hundred and forty officers of the schoql garden array were present. Mr. Murphy pointed out that the officers were expected to carry their worK through to the end, and to do whatever patriotic duty might be expected of them. The officers will be used in keeping order at the school garden market, which is to be held Friday afternoon, and to spread information concerning the market. Miss Electa Henley, who is to act as market mistress at the school garden market, gave a talk to the girls, explaining the cooking exhibits which may be held at the market.
FESTIVAL AT NEW MADISON CLEARS $101 FOR RED CROSS
The May festival given recently at New Madison. O., cleared $101.85 for the Red Cross chapter there. The program was repeated on two nights,
owing to the large number which was unable to attend the opening performance. Jesso Woods, formerly of
Richmond, was in charge cf the pro

Percentage of Class One Men Cut Eight Per Cent hy Volunteers
Though 498 men have been inducted into service by the Richmond selective army board since June 5, 1917, 201 men have voluntarily enlisted since that date and thus reduced the percentage of men in Class 1. Had these 201 men not been granted waivers to enlist in the army, navy or mar
ine corps, but had remained in Class ; 1, the percentage of men in Class 1; would be 3412, according to Clem Carr, chairman of the board, who has , compiled the following figures of thiSi beard for the state conscription agent: j Number of men registered June 5, 1917 2,705 Men to be inducted yet this month 45 Men who have enlisted voluntar- j ily in army or navy since June 1
5, 1917 201 Men in Class 1 physically qualified, white or colored 117 Men in Class 1 qualified for limited service 75 Men inducted since June 5, 1917 498
Total V-36 Wayne county proportion of ir.en now in the service of the army, navy and marine corps, is 3 percent of the county's population. This is more than double the national proportion of 1U percent of the population of the United States.
The following letter explaining the condition of affairs here, was sent to the state conscription agent Thursday
morning by Chairman Carr: Major Robert C. Baltzell, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir This board Is enclosing
you herewith a statement of the men who registered June 5, 1917. We feel
that the way we have figured this percentage is a fair way to figure same. We suppose there is some peculiar condition existing in each locality. One
of the conditions that this board has to -contend with is that we have a
very active man here enlisting men for the Navy, and of course every time there is a man enlisted it takes one man from Class 1 and places him in Class 5, which serves to reduce .our
percentage and makes the showing of
this local board worse. You will note the number of men who have voluntarily enlisted since June 5. 1917. These men would have all been in Class 1, therefore as our statement shows, whether or not we will get credit and whether or not the government will figure it in this way, it still remains the fact that our percentage should show 34 percent in Class 1; and that the government will get with our classification
remaining the same as it is now,
