GRAIN QUOTATIONS

WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Aug. 12. Living costs and railway snarl baa effected the grain markets. They look to traders as no particular change overnight unless the shopmen return today, in which case a higher opening might result. Cash corn at a record high of (2.10 on famine receipts. Corn belt needs rain and there is moisture in the forecast. Absence of hot weather has hurt the buying side. European crops very poor but indications are they will squeeze through the best possible. Some locals are quite bearish on the cost of living but the majority look for rallies. Financial arrangements of railway trouble may force dull export situation. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E.

"Stake Tomatoes" Wesler Urges Richmond Gardeners Gardeners who have late tomatoes, are urged by city garden supervisor F. W. Wesler to stage the tomato

vines. Wesler says tomato vines that are stake yield a much larger crop than the vines that grow wild along the ground, for the latter the attacked by worma, ants, and grass hoppers with greater ease, than if they were staked. Another advantage it that heat from the sun reflected from the ground literally bakes the tomatoes when the vines trail along the ground.

By WILLIAM R. 8ANB0RN. Surprise Buster, a Big Type Poland China Junior yearling, brought home the greatest quantity of bacon at the Jones & Pike breeders' sale at Centerville, on Monday.

Irregularly sized and unnecessarily decorated envelopes continue to be an aggravation and a bugbear to the postal department The Richmond postoffice loses a noticeable amount of time cancelling by hand mail which will not go through the mechanical cencellors.. Postmaster C. B. Beck, says that no attention has been paid to the pleas sent out by the individual offices and the postmaster-general asking people to use normally sized envelopes. The best sized envelopes are 6 inches in length for personal correspondence and certain types of business correspondence, and 10 for the largest business correspondence. A space 4 inches by an inch and a ouarter should be left in the umier

heft hand corner of envelope for the

cancellation of the stamp and the postmark, the postmaster said Tuesday. This ruling is disobeyed time ana again, he says, by Richmond business firms, who insist upon running descriptive information regarding their firms along the upper part of the envelope so far to the rjght that the postmark iB not legible through the printed words. Some twenty firms in Richmond are guilty of this practice, Beck said.

ligations and all its obligations under this covenant shall have been fulfilled at the time of its withdrawal.' "Wrhatever virtue there may be in the right thus conferred is completely

nullified by- the proviso. The league

alone can decide whether 'all interna

tional obligations and all obligations

under this covenant' have been fulfilled, and this would require, under the provisions of the league, a unanimous vote, so that any nation desiring to withdraw could not do so, even

on the two years' notice, if one nation ,

voted that the obligations had not been fulfilled. Remember that this gives the league not only power to review all our obligations under the covenant but all our treaties with all all nations for every one of those is an 'international obligation." "Any analysis of the provisions of this league covenant brings out in startling relief one great fact. Whatever may be said, it is not a league of peace: it is an alliance, dominated at the present moment by five great powers, really by three, and it has all the marks of an alliance. The development of international law is neglect

ed. The court which it to decide disputes brought before it fills but a small place. Those articles upon which the whole structure rest are articles which provide for the use of force; that is, for war, This league to enforce peace does a great deal of enforcement and very little peace."

Sugar Situation To Be Normal In Ten Days, Say Grocers Of Richmond

Relief is in sight in the sugar situation, say Richmond wholesalers and retailers. It is expected that conditions will return to their normal state in a week or ten days or perhaps at the most two weeks. Strikes which have been on in the factories where sugar bags are made, are in most cases cleared up. The marine strikes which have been preventing the importation of sugar from Cuba are lessening and it will soon be possible to import the normal supply. However the shortage is not serious. All demands are being supplied. Restrictions of five and ten pound purchases have been placed by a few grocers in the city. They declare that no alarm over the situation need be felt by anyone.

"If the United States or any other

country should refuse, no matter how specious the reasons, to fulfill both in letter and spirit every obligation in this covenant, the United States would be dishonored and the league

would crumble into dust, leaving it a legacy of wars." Quoting a press report that Bedouins were attacking the Kingdom of Hedjas. the senator pointed out that Hedjas was a member of the league whose integrity the United States would guarantee to preserve from external aggression under the covenant. "Under Article 11," he said, "if King Hussein appeal to us for aid and protection against external aggression affecting his independence and the boundaries of his kingdom, we should be bound to give that aid and protection and to send American soldiers to Arabia. I am unwilling to give that right to King Hussein and this illustrates the point which is to me the most objectionable in the league as it stands; the right of other powers to call our American troops and American ships to go to any part of the world, an obligation we are bound to fulfill under terms of this treaty. I know the answer well that of course they could not be sent without action by congress. Congress would have no choice if acting in good faith. Attacks Article 15 "Let me now briefly point out the Insuperable difficulty which I find in Article 15. It begins 'if there should arise between members of the league any dispute likely to lead to a rupture" . 'Any dispute' covers every possible dispute. It therefore covers a dispute over tariff duties and over immigration. "An immigration dispute or a dispute over tariff duties, met by the pro

cedure set forth in article 15, comes j before the assembly of delegates for a decision by what is practically a majority vote of the entire assembly. That is something to which I do not find myself able to give my assent So far as immigration is concerned, and also so far as tariff duties, although less important, are concerned, I deny the jurisdiction. There should be no

possibility of other nations deciding who shall come into the United States, or under what conditions they shall enter. The right to say who shall come Into a country is one of the very highest attributes of sovereignty. If a nation can not say without appeal who shall come within its gates and become a part of its citizenship it has ceased to be a sovereign nation. It has become a tributary and a subject nation, and it. makes no difference whether it is subject to league or to a conqueror." The senator said the British delegales to the eace Conference, in a statement regarding the Monroe Doctrine had asserted that should a dispute arise as to the meaning of the Doctrine, "the league is there to settle it." "It has seemed to me," he continued, "that the British delegation traveled a little out of the precincts of the Peace Conference when they undertook to explain the Monroe Doctrine and tell the United States what it was and what it was not proposed to do with it under the new article. "Another point in this covenant where change must be made in order to protect the safety of the United States in the future is in Article 1, where withdrawal is provided for. As it now stands it reads that: " 'Any member of the league may after two years' notice of its intention to do so, withdraw from the league, provided that all Its international ob-
