HAST WEEK HOG PRICES HIGHEST IN SIX MONTHS Market Finishes Week Strong Despite Food Administration Agitation. By WILLIAM R. 8ANBORN Hog prices averaged higher at all markets last week, than at any time piece last September. This, too, in spite of the guaranteed minimum by the government being no longer In effect. The average price In Chicago on Saturday was $19.68 and all other markets followed Chicago's lead, as the rule. Prices averaged 40 cents over a week ago, the country over, and , were from $2.10 to $2.25 per 100 pounds higher than for the corresponding week In 1918. These are the simple facts and are eloquent of conditions affecting the meat supply of the nation, and largely so as to the meat of the world. Not a Cheering Outlook. It will be seen, then, that the outlook for cheaper meats is not at all gratifying from the standpoint of the consumers, which means all of us. Just how high pork products may go, or how soon prices are likely to fall, j no man can foretell, with any degree

,pvi ceriauiiy or usBurance, ana your guess is as good as any. Pork recently advanced more than 50c per barrel for export and lard fully $1 per hundred pounds. It is of Interest to note that No. 2

red winter wheat sold in St. Louis Saturday at $2.60 per bushel and that No. 3 hard wheat Bold in Chicago at $2.53. This makes the farmers guaranteed price-or $2.26 look reasonable by comparison. No. 3 corn has been, selling at $1.51 to $1.53 for "spot" for several days. Receipts at Glen Miller. The receipt! at the Glen Miller stock yards on Saturday comprised 200 head of hogs, 50 of cattle, 92 of veal calves and 20 spring lambs. It required five cars to ship these to the eastern markets, which meant a very busy day at the yards. With reference to the trend in values. Rome Shurley said: "In spite of the agitation of the food administration to lower the price of hogs, the market finished the week at strong figures. The best hogs delivered on Saturday were brought in by Robert Roke of Center township, who was paid $18.50 per 100 pounds.' "Cattle declined as much as $1.50 per hundred on top grades and 5c on inferior stuff, owing to liberal receipts and to the let-up in government orders for beef. Our receipts of veal on Saturday were the largest of the season to date. Every Ford car that came in that day had a veal calf on the back seat. Choice veals brought loc and others in proportion, according to quality. The "calves cost us $2,224.15, and weighed ih 6.275 nounds. ' Thev filled a 36-foot car.' Principal Deliveries. Among the men represented at the yards on Saturday were: Ora Pitts, Oscar McClure, D. Hyatt, Edward Toschlog, Ezra Clements, Asa Pitts. Dan Albright. Bert Isenberger, Currie Clark, Troy Frazier, L. K. Martin, John Baker, Burley Jordan, A. S. Parent, Warner Fleish, Bob Mitchell, Charles Dagler, Harry Crutchfield, Oro Wright, C. Bosworth, Charles Coffman, Charles Hill, E. A. Petrey, Joe Baxter, Ed Morris, Martin Buckholtz, Verling Reid, Clayton Dickey, Charles Esteb, Harry Osborn, Ollie Hodgin, J. F. Edwards, Will Erk, Capt. Davis. R. Raper, Wood Eliason, Robert Skinner, Guy Farrel, J. W. Davis, Charles Cox, E. M. Kellen, Harry Thomas. Will Ryan, Dick Conway, Ernest Watt, Hary Hart, Bert Hunt. R. Forest, James Maher, Earl Green and Fred Warnoff. The yards have been heavy buyers during the last two weeks, and practically so on an advancing market for the better part, of the time. CHILDREN TO AID ' IN RED CROSS CLOTHES DRIVE A plan was launched at the Teachers' Institute on Saturday to secure . co-operation of the school children of he county in the campaign for used elothing and shoes, was started throughout the United States today, by the lied Cross. Wayne county has a very active Junior Red Cross which will help push the campaign. Friday will be children's day and as far as possible every school child in Wayne county will bring some art a rtf u'.arlnff finnnrpl in ar.hnnl that day. The supplies gathered in the various schools will be sent by motor truck to the central receiving station at the Richmond Red Cross headquarters, for shipment to the liberated countries in Europe. Interest has already been shown by the school children, and it is thought that this opportunity to help the children of other lands will be welcomed. The official message from the Lake division headquarters regarding the campaign says: "Send skirts, dresses, shoes, knitted caps, stockings, undergarments, blouses, cloth hats, coats, etc.. for women and girls; shirts, sweaters, trousers, Jerseys, socks, coats, shoes, etc., for boys and men; baby blankets, shirts, dresses bootees, sweaters, bonnets. Jackets, shawls, socks, shoes, bibs, etc., for Infants and miscellaneous articles including bed ticks and sheets, pillow cases, blankets and mufflers. "Don't send ball dresses, flimsy dresses, high hats, straw hats, derby hats, trimming for hats, feathers, umbrellas, mattresses, clocks, glassware, carpets, toys, collars, neckties, shoe trees, crutches, canes, parasols, crockery, rugs nor fdod stuffs."

Raymond: lsiy or tne Second English Lutheran church, has gone to Shelbyville, Ind., to attend the fintral of a cousin, Jean Isley, who funeral of a cousin, Jean Isley, who mond some time Wednesday.

oca GRAIN QUOTATIONS E. W. WAGNER & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO, March 24. Heavy selling of corn at the start represented cheaper hogs and fine weather and resulted in rather a sharp break, but the market became oversold and rallied on buying by shorts and commission houses on reports of export, business with confirmation of 75,000 worked. The market technically does not appear to be strong as country offerings of grain to arrive and some hedging in the pit were noted. Sample market little changed. Seeding of oats reported in eastern Illinois. Run In barley lower on report that the government will place heavy stocks In the market. Some government stocks have already been sold. Forecast is unsettled. The east" is credited with selling corn futures today. Enlarged hog receipts are encouraging selling of provisions. July lard met buying of good character.

leading Advertisements

ISave

The wise shopper keeps in touch with the advertisements of her favorite stores. When she sees announcements of goods in which she is interested, she knows right where to go to find them. She knows when they are put on sale. No time is lost in aimless looking and asking. Reading the advertisements saves her time for other duties or pleasures. When parents decide to send a boy or girl away to school, they cannot take the time to go and inspect a great number of schools from which to choose. They study the advertisements of schools and to the ones that seem to offer right conditions they write for catalogs. When a man decides to buy an automobile, he reads carefully the advertisements which tell about the different makes of cars and then he calls to see only those in which he is interested. He does not start out by hunting up the salesrooms and looking at the cars sold. These are only a few of the ways in which reading advertisements saves the time of readers. There are many others, Your daily newspaper is full of advertisements which are not only interesting but have some special message of benefit to you. Make a practice of reading them. You will find your time saved and your money better spent.

Cash rent to be charged for gardening grounds near the city gravel plant is to be determined by the city engineer, and the board discussed the purchase and placing of rubbish cans, but took no action.
