105,753 MEN IN AMERICAN ARMY HOSPITALS now

nutnDer or nospuai acs Overseas Decreasing, Re- . ports General Pershing. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 27. An official report from General Pershing, made public last night by the War Department, shows that on January 9 thero were 105,753 men of the American army in hospitals In France and England, of whom 72,642 were suffering of disease and 33,111 ot wounds or other injuries. The report said that the number of hospital cases is steadily decreasing, thero having been a reduction ot more than 15,000 since the previous week. Deaths during the week preceding that covered by the report numbered 561, of whom 280 died of disease and 281 of wounds received before the armistice was signed. A completely and carefully checked list of men still in the hospitals in France and England who were wounded before hostilities ceased is now on its way by courier to the United States. It will furnish definite Information as to the nature ot the injuries suffered by each man.

WORLD MARKET Continued From Pane One.1 gardless of all else besides, of prices later on or even tomorrow. Space permits but the briefest analysis of present and prospective conditions. We will first deal with the bread crop now in sight. Hoover is now International Food Director." Mr. Hoover promises to export sufficient wheat to prevent hunger, and he will attend to the distribution of everything in the food lino that the United States donates or sells, or buys from Itself with the millions given by this nationl We may depend upon that. ' If we go into the next crop with a big carryover of wheat it will be because we lack shipping and not because Australia and Argentina have exported a lot of grain. And this is important because this is the only nation which has guaranteed the price of wheat beyond the war period, except that -Great Britain is protecting its farmers, but the "Tight Little Island" figures but limitedly in wheat production. Assured of Price. So far, then, as we are concerned, the American wheat grower is assured of a price for another year, dating from June 1, next. The farmer will get his full price, but what will our government get for the coming crop? Frankly, no living man can tell.. . Estimating on winter wheat "acreage already sown and the spring wheat acreago that will likely be increased again this season and taking into account world surpluses to be marketed in due course, Uncle Sam may lose a half billion dollars to keep his word good to wheat growers up to June 30, 1920. We must compete in world markets with our surplus and take our losses like men because the situation will be greatly relieved long before that. As the biggest buyer on earth. Uncle Sam will have to take the market price in competition with the world when all bars are down. Simple and plain, isn't it? The coming crops in all countries will have their effect, of course, be they large or small, and what we do not need at home must find a market at some price, whether high or low. The machinery for handling the 1919 wheat crop has not yet been provided, nor has the financing. A continuation ot the Food Administration Grain Corporation, with an appropriation to cover its losses, is not unlikely. We may not, however, raise a bumper crop this year, and the surplus may therefore, bo reduced. As to Australian wheut, much has W. HAT ' COULD NOT WORK Made Well and Strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ' Colombia, Pa." I was very weak and run down and had dragging-down pains and paina in my back. I could not get around to do my work and had to it down and rest often during theday. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised in the papers and read the testimonials, so I thought I would try it. Now I am healthier than I ever was in my life, and can recommend it to any woman who suffers as I did." Mrs. Elizabeth May, R.F.D. No. 1, Columbia, Pa. The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so successful in overcoming woman's ills is because it contains the tonic, strengthening proper iies of good old fashioned roots and herbs, which act on the female organism. Women from all parts of the country are continually testifying to its strengthening, curative influence, and the letters which we are constantly publishing from women in every section of this country firove beyond question the merit of this amous root and herb medicine.

boen ruined being mostly piled In sacks under tarpaulins and shed roofs. The quantity of good wheat has thus been largely - reduced. , Good authorities now claim that it will take two years to get that surplus out. for lack ot tonnage, and that it Is under 200 millions ot bushels of exportable quality. Latest estimates of the Argentine surplus say It Is about 165 million bushels. Here, too, it is largely a problem of ships, for America . will have first call on vessels for some time to come.' .- ;,''":,- . Whether our own people will be content to pay more for bread than other less favored nations will eventually pay is another jhase of this complicated problem. At the moment bakers and retailers are buying flour only in a small way, fearing a decline, apparently, thus glutting mills and warehouses with flour. We can't possibly figure it that way not now nor soon. It any of you can, tell ua about it, and why. Corn Price Breaks. But as to corn and corn products, that is . another matter. Corn has broken 30 cents perbushel for the January delivery in Chicago, since the 8th of the month, it closing at the low point, $1.18 on Saturday, while May corn closed at $1.15, more than 10c under its price on same date last year and a long way from its top. This decline was largely speculative, of course. America can feed every bushel of corn we have, and a single Illinois or Iowa corn county produces more corn than Argentine . is ever likely to ship us in any year. So why get panicky? They need our corn in Europe to feed both stock and people; unquestionably so; also al lthat South America can spare and pay 55c per bushel to transport and insure. ' Price Guarantee on Hogs. Whether the government will continue to fix the minimum price on hogs is supposedly to be settled on Tuesday, January 28. The feeling prevails that It will at least maintain prices during February, possibly Borne months longer. There are a lot of hogs still awaiting a market that have been fed on $1.60 to $2 corn, depending on local conditions and crops. This explains heaviest possible recent ,, marketing under embargoes and "permits" to ship. ; The price of corn and the prices paid for hogs and cattle are so intimately , associated that they cannot be separated. At this point the consumer presents an argument. He is entirely willing that the stock raiser shall make a good living, but would also like to get a litte more meat for his dollar and there you are. It is not only a two-sided but a many-sided problem, ranging not only from prices paid to farmers for grain and lie stock, but also the prices to be paid labor per hour, depending on the cost of living. This is, in the end, inevitable. - Declines in Other Food Products. The editor of the New York Market Reporter says: "In view of present wholesale prices consumers generally should reap a benefit of a general drop in retail prices of beef and other meats." In quoting New York wholesale prices the editor said: , "Since the publication of the storage reports, prime beef has dropped from 3 to 5 cents a pound, while the lower grades are down from 5 to 6 cents a pound. Lamb and mutton are from 8 to 11 cents a pound lower than a week agoi VeaJ dropped from 8 to 10 cents, pork, heavy, has declined 6 cents and

.medium light pork has. come down 4 cems a pouna. : , , "Butter creamery extra which was 67 cents Jan. 14, was 61 cents

All doctors and chemists in Bremen have decided to go on strike, according to the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, as soon as the political strikes endanger the traffic of supplying the people with food, gas and electricity or if citizens of Bremen are arrested for political reasons.

today. The" price of creamery extras has fallen from 70 cents Jan. 11 to 61 cents today. Eggs, Western firsts which were 68 cents a. dozen Jan. 11, were quoted today at from 61 to 62 cents." Western Markets Lower. Indianapolis has marked creamery butter down about 14 cents In the past ten days. Eggs are also much lower. The mild weather is largely responsible for this. Federal authorities in Chicago have warned retailers that they must follow wholesale declines or lose their licenses. This caused the Butchers' and Grocers' Protective association to send out a bulletin on the . 25th, Urging its members to follow regulations and "save their licenses." On Saturday last, with butter , 16 cents lower at wholesole than on two weeks ago, retailers cut prices about 6 cents, only, as compared with that 16 cent drop. Butter is now retailing in Chicago at 66c to 58c per pound. Meat products are off six to eight cents at wholesale, but retailers have paid little attention to that, hence the promise to revoke food licenses "right and left" unless dealers get into line. This is the essence of a Chicago dispatch, showing the trend. It is evident that

County Listen ! "The various drives for funds during the war period may be put in three classes. The bond sales were for ourselves, that we might not be slaves. The Red Cross and war work funds were primarily for the comfort and cheer of those who fought for us. This present appeal for money for relief in the Near East is the first time we have been called on for real charity, unaffected by self-interest. Children and women and men are starving over there. Can we forgive ourselves if we fail to help them? Shall our charity hedge itself by limits of nationality, race, creed or self-interest?" The Campaign is for $30,000,000 Wayne County is to Give $11,000 JANUARY 25-3 American Committee for Relief in the blear East Offices: Richmond Commercial Club

there is concerted pressure on the food staples, - from some source or sources, and for some cause. World 8tlil Hungry But the world is still hungry. They need all we can spare abroad everything that is good to eat and to feed. They also need our live stock to replenish their herds and will for years to come, also all the meats and fats they can afford to buy while getting on their agricultural feet v These facts are not to be lost sight of. The American farmer has a worldbroad market In sight. This is also true as to farm implements -and the machinery to ' rehabilitate the desolated ' factory districts in France and Belgium, more particularly. There is an era of prosperity ahead for this great, charitable and enterprising country, as the writer, sees it. We are experiencing a llttla unrest and a wave, of pessimism at the moment but all will presently be adjusted and the nation will float along on the tide of prosperity on even keel. This is the present writer's best Judgment, after due consideration of all available facts. Your right to differ is unquestioned, but you will concede that cheerful faith and optimism are the greatest possible factors in the best solution of every problem arising during the period of readjustment, which is now inevitable.
