VALUES DECLINE IN CORN MARKET
CHICAGO, June 21. Fresh declines In the value of corn took place today, largely as a result of the Ideal weather prevailing. It was apparently a general belief that too much attention had not been impaired. Besides there peratures and that the crop outlook had not been Impairde. Besides there was no indication of any urgent cash demand. Opening prices, which ranged from half to 1 1-2 lower with July 141 1-2 to 142 1-4 and August 144 1-2 to 145 3-8 were followed by a material further setback. Oats went down grade with corn. A feature was selling by houses with eastern connections. After opening 1-8 at 1-4 to 6-8 lower with July 71 5-8 to 72. the market underwent a moderate further sag. . Provisions developed firmness on account of a falling off in hog arrivals here as compared with the number expected. The best demand was for ribs.

WARNS AGAINST WHEAT CUTTING
Farmers of Wayne county are urged not to cut and shock their wheat too soon by R. S. Kelley of the United States Department of Agriculture, and P. S. Thomas of Purdue University, who were in Richmond Friday. Tn a tour of the northwestern part of the county with J. C. Kline, county agriculture agent, Friday morning, it was learned that two or three farmers have already started cutting wheat. An inspection of this wheat showed that it was entirely too green. "If there should be a heavy rain and it would remain damp for a few days,' Mr. Kelley said, "this wheat would begin to sprout or mould in the shock. I certainly advise the farmers not to cut their wheat when.it is too green, or they are liable to lose quite a bit of their crop."

Suffering in Army. During a tour of the front an As
sociated Press correspondent talked with an Austrian prisoner, a member
of a manufacturing firm with offices
in all the great world centers, including New York.
"I have been fighting for forty
months," this man said, "first on the Russian front, where I had an easy time and now here, where the Italians are making things too hot for us. There is no food for the people of
Austria and next to none for the
army. I bad but a few pieces of bread
and potatoes before the fight, - and since the fight began I have had none.
"The army cannot last more than a couple of months at the best. There are no good officers left. We have

plenty- of ammunition, but no one to use It properly." "A Hunger Offensive." That Austria's drive la positively "a hunger offensive" has been proved by new orders and addresses found upon, prisoners.' These were signed by officers ranging from Field Marshal Conrad von Hoetzendort down to regimental commanders.. One which was Issued by the commander of the famous regiment bearing the name of Archduke Charles says: "Soldiers, remember the spoils we got last fair from the Italians; the sheep, cowb. steers, warehouses full of good clothes, and grocery stores full of wines, canned goods, flour, and sugar. Think of your family. Think of
the white bread you may win for all." Hundreds of prisoners, all of whom are thin and weak, said they bad had little ; food for - the last month and spoke with horror of the winter months they had passed. A sample of their black bread showed that it was mada of rye straw and potatoes. Make Own Shoes. Many of the prisoners have strong, well spiked shoes, but these they claim they made themselves or bought. Their clothes, however, are falling apart, having been patched frequently. Most of them have mere rags for shirts. The majority of the prisoners have money, but it is either in paper bills or iron coin. The most of them wear medals for valor, some of them having two or three of them, but these decorations are of base metal and none are of gold or silver. One is stamped with a likeness of Empress Zita and encircled with laurel wreaths, and Is made of a zinc composition. The prisoners part readily with these medals, saying they have no pride in them, for a few -pennies of Italian money. Most of the captured men are young and light haired and generally have bad teeth. . Lured by Food. The Italian soldiers tell humorous etories of captures effected by persuading the Austrians that they will be well fed. One Italian officer who had been wounded and picked up by a group of Austrians who intended to make him prisoner explained how foolish they were. He said : "Come with me and you will get meat, wine, and -real bread." Thereupon the whole party went over to the Italian lines. It is said also that at the beginning of the offensive the Austrians In the front line each received three rations cf meat, one for each day of the attack until they reached the Italian
stores. They were so hungry, how
ever, that they ate all the nrst aay. STATE RECORD Continued From Page One.

man liberty might be lost to posterity by anything short of heroism in all our deeds. The apathetic and disinterested citizen would little -have suspected that in a small gathering of two hundred representative and patriotic Wayne county citizens it would be possible to subscribe and " pledge $129,000.00 in half an hour's time. "The powerful appeal of the Hon. Frank E. Hering, vice-director of Indiana, stirred the red blood of his auditors as perhaps it had never before been stirred. "A true realization of the importance of immediate, powerful and complete action was In full bloom. "The fire from the bosoms of these two hundred auditors will spread over Wayne county. All things else to them will be secendary until the government demand for the $400,000 to complete the goal of $1,000,000.00 allotted to Wayne county has been subscribed and pledged. "From June 20, noon to June 22, noon, will be memorable in the lives of the patriots impelled to purchase for Wayne county the prize of voluntarily meeting a stupenduous obligation trust unflinchingly. "The fifty men honored with the trust of collecting the subscriptions and pledges of all taxpayers, all wageearners and all men and women, appealed to by President Wilson, former Governor Ralston and as will be apepaled to by Mayor Zimmerman, will, we hope, find a citizenship ready and waiting the opportunity to respond to these appeals. For these servants of the government and humanity we solicit courteous, effective, substantial support. Their labors may
be made joyous at the hands of a re
sponsive people. "We are all expected to report to the secretary of the treasury by June 28 and should seek to meet these committeemen to add our subscription and pledges Friday and before noon Saturday, June 22. "The list of the fifty men in charge of gathering the subscriptions and pledges is carried by the press and since we all know we are to report on or before June 22, why not seek immediately these committeemen and augment the $400,000.00 by noon Saturday, June 22? "While the government has demanded the full quota to be covered by June 28, they have made it easy to one and all who are not, prepared to buy the stamps now to subscribe for purchases as may be desired during July, August, September, October, November and December. This privilege leaves- no possible excuse for any taxpayer, wage-earner, man or woman, to refuse their support. Keep the telephones of the fifty committeemen busy sending them your notices to call for your pledges. , "Come voluntarily now, everybody, Seek the opportunity to get your pledges in before noon Saturday, June 22. Your county chairman is praying to be relieved of the personal responsibility of returning to the federal and in his possession and giving his reasons why those refusing to aid their government do so. In some instances there might be good and just reasons why certain individuals could not subscribe or pledge for any of these securities. These would be few and in most cases it would be up to the chairman to state reasons not
good, not Justifiable," not honorable, not patriotic and not American.
"The amount of Z4oo,0uv.vu mubi come. It must be pledged ouickly. Everybody must fall in line and earn for Wayne county other laurels to add to those already passed to her credit
on all national demands to date. "Wayne county voluntarily subscribed and pledged will accomplish the greatest possible good.' Make Wayne county the first In the state with a $1,000,00.00 quota to go over the top. "Wayne county broke the state record Thursday, June 20. on a single day's subscription and pledges. "Wayne county is the second largest subscriber in the state today. Everybody push and let Wayne county go over the top by noon Saturday, June 22."

at a Bargain
When business is rushing, most business men laugh at the idea of advertising. "We can't fill our orders why advertise for more?' they say. They cling to the fallacy that to-day's advertising is meant to increase to-day's sales. The real function of advertising is to build prestige to slowly establish in the public mind a consciousness of the integrity of the trade mark and the essential quality of the goods. Such prestige, once firmly rooted, means leadership. It means a steady flow of profitable business when the market is glutted with unknown goods it means a permanence of good will. Perhaps you don't need advertising to-day, but that doesn't mean you won't need to-day's advertising two years from now. Leadership can be bought at a bargain in rush times when your competitors are too busy about delayed shipments to worry about the future, but the cost of leadership is ruinous in dull times. Every business has a future. That future will be bright or gloomy according to the farsighted wisdom of present day management. In every industry there is an opportunity to-day for one concern, quietly, and at little cost, to lay the foundation for future leadership, by impressing the meaning of its trade mark on the minds of all men," women and children who are possible users of the goods. The dorman Cheltenham Company can serve two or three manufacturers who arc not necessarily leaders now but who have the will to leadership.
