GRAINS DOWN, STOCK UP, IN SEE-SAW OF MARKETS IF WEEK ' VI By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Excellent weather conditions over the entire grain belt and lack of outBide buying orders, caused a decline in all grains at Chicago on Saturday. December wheat closed at $2.55, off 3 cents from Friday's close, with March wheat off Zi cents at $2.59. July corn closed at $1.53; September at $1.51 and December at $1.37. On the gam date in 1919 both July and September corn sold at $1.95. As to July oats the positions were reversed, July oats closing at 88V4 on Saturday, against 80 cents one year ago. September oats were lower than in 1919, closing Saturday at 7514. Millers absorbed the cash grain at Chicago and wheat advanced lc to 2c on the sample tables on Saturday. Foreign demand slow. Chicago bids

to the country for arrival during first

nair or August were lowered to $2.70 for No. 2 red winter. Money for Ctod Movlna.

There are indications that the federal reserve banks are clearing the decks so as to be In shape to advance money to move the crops. There have been restrictions as to the purchases of commercial bills and paper, and there has also been a tightening up in the general loan account. This leaves the reserve banks in better shape to extend accommodations to

grain buyers. Chicago Live Stock Prices.

Despite the fact that Saturday's hog price average was the lowest of the week, at $lf.05. the average price for the week was SJ5.3& against $14.85 for the week ending July 17. Light butchers sold at $16.00 to $10.40, or 30 cents above the liigh on the previous Saturday. The shipping demand was so limited on Saturday that packers hammered the price of heavies, the top on whch was $15.80. Dressed Beef Trade Depressed. The Jewish holiday cut the demand for heavy beeves, and there was a general depression in the dressed beef trade the last half of the week. Barring choicest yearling steers, most grades of cattle closed B0 to 75 cents below prices ruling a week ago. Indianapolis Markets. A small bunch of hogs sold as high as $16.60 at Indianapolis on Saturday, compared with several loads at $16.85 and $16.90 on Friday. The average price on the day was 25 cents under Friday's figures; hogs weighing more than 250 pounds being quoted at $16.25 and down. A few of the best heavy pigs sold at $16.25, the rest at from $16.00 down. Sows were also lower at from $13.50 down. Receipts for the week estimated at 50.000 against 52,000 for the previous week. Price changes during the week were abrupt but at the end hogs showed an average net gain of a dime, compared with one week ago. Cattle were unevenly lower, ranging at 50 cents off to $1 at the extreme, this being disastrous to many shippers, this, too, in spte of a falling off in receipts to 5,558 head, against 8.232 a week ago. About 300 calves came in on Saturday, the best selling between $17 and $18. Yearling sheep

The Theatres

MURRETTE Marguerite Clark's new picture, "A Girl Named Mary." will be the attraction at the Murrette theatre for three days, commencing Sunday. It is a pic-

turization of Juliet Wilbor Tompkins' magazine story of the same name and is said to be ideally suited to the talents of the little star. The plot centers around the search of a wealthy widow, Mrs. Jaffrey, for her daughter, who ha3 been missing since the railroad wreck in which Mr. Jaffrey was killed. In the course of her seeking she becomes acquainted with a vivacious little person named Mary Healy, the role played by Miss Clark. Later it develops that Mary, who lives quite plainly with her foster mother and is loved by a youth named Henry Martin, is the missing girl. Mrs. Jaffrey is overjoyed at the discovery, but her attempts to Inject the girl into a luxurious environment are at first faiures. When the widow at lat sees the light and consents to Mary's marriasjo to Henry, the happy ending is in sight. Kathlyn Williams in the part of the widow heads a good supporting cast. The picture is a Paramount-Artcra ft and was directed by Walter Edwards. MURRAY "No more choking scenes on posters!" decrees Frank Keenan, star of "Dollar for Dollar," and many other Pat he feature It all happened because a chap out in Omaha was passing by a motion picture theatre one night and got so excited over a poster on which Keenan was choking a man that he attempted to come to the rescue. The result was that he plunged his fist through the glass behind which the poster was framed, badly cutting his hand. The next morning the would-be rescuer found himself in jail on a charge of drunkenness and malicious destruction of property. No doubt a lot of people will now be flocking to Omaha to ind out how you "get that way" out there. "Dollar for Dollar" holds the interest from the start. The acting is of an unusually high order, Kathleen Kirkham being particularly splendid as the fair blackmailer. Jay Belasco, Kate Van Buren, Harry Van Meter, Larry Steers and Harry Kendall complete the cast. This picture will be shown at the Murray theatre the first half of the week. WASHINGTON Maurice Tourneur has in his last three photo-plays shown himself a master at filming famous stories of the sea. The great Drury Lane melodrama, "The Romany Rye," was produced in pictures by him under the name of "The Life Lane". Into his screen version of Joseph Conrad's novel of the south seas, "Victory", he injected all the rich color and exotic flavor of the tropics. It is entirely fitting that he should be the producer to make motion pictures of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island." It will be shown at the Washington theatre on Tuesday. Mr. Tourneur is a Frenchman, born aud raised within the sound of the roaring surf. He showed unusual ability as an artist from his boyhood

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The heavy local shower at Fountain Gity on Saturday morning put a number of threshing Tigs out of commission for the day. There is one ring In this district having 18 members, which according to Arthur Collins had threshed but four crops up to Monday morning. Twelve members of this ring chipped in and bought their rig two years ago and are entirely independent of outside labor. Among the stockholders in the outfit are men who can run the whole works, men familiar with the engineer's duties and other details of the running of the outfit. This ring shuts down for three days

to enable members to cut their oats.

CORN DOING FINE; WEATHER IS IDEAL FOR BUMPER OATS

The weekly crop report of George C. Bryant, field agent of the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana, follows: "With the exception of the first day or two, when heavy rains occurred in some sections in Indiana, farm operations progressed very rapidly during the week. "Chinch bugs are at work in the corn in some sections of the state. Generally the growth is rank but the stalks are from two to three weeks late in tasseling. Cultivation is practically completed. Except for early frost the outlook is very promising. "Heavy rains the first of the week

stopped wheat thrashing in nearly all

health. Feeding operations are at the lowest point for several years."

THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE

Says Nothing Like Plain Argo-Phos-phate to Put on Firm, Solid, Stay There Flesh and Muscle, and Increase Strength, Vim Vigor and Nerve Force.

Thomas W. MinshuIL Thomas W. Minshull of Cleve-. land, Ohio, is said to be slated to head the Knights of Pythias order, about to hold its national convention in Cleveland. Minshull, who is seventy-six, is a major general of the Pythias, in command of 4,000.

Physicians claim there is nothing that will increase weight, strength and endurance like organic phosphate, commonly known by druggists as argophosphate; it Is inexpensive and is sold by all leading druggists everywhere under a guarantee to give satisfaction or money refunded. Weakness and thinness are usually due to starved nervous conditions. Our bodies need more phosphates than aro contained in the foods we eat. If you wish a more rounded figure, and plump, well developed arms, neck and bust, in place of hollows, you should simply take plain argo-phos-phate as it builds up and restores rundown nervous conditions by phosphatlzing the system. It transforms the appearance and an increase in weight is often quickly produced. The increase in weight also add3 in improving the general health. Sleeplessness, nervousness, lack of energy and ambition quickly disappear. Pale cheeks are changed to rosy ones and dull eyes become bright. Miss Lena Brown, of Atlanta, Ga., who only weighed 90 pounds, reports that she gained 10 pounds in two weeks time and says argo-phosphate has made a different person of her, and she has never felt better in her life. SPECIAL NOTICE Owing to the fact that so many physicians and druggists are recommending argo-phosphate for relieving all worn-out, debilitated conditions and the unusually large sale for argo-phosphate, there will be found in the market numerous substitutes for the genuine article. All imitations are inferior preparations, and owing to its unusual flesh producing qualities it should not be used by any one unless hey desire to put on flesh and increase in weight.

As the skin tends to expand in warm weather, causing wrinkles to form, a good astringent-tonic lotion should be used these days. Dissolve an ounce of pure powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. Bathe the face in this and see how quickly the wrinkles and furrows will disappear and how much younger you will look! There's nothing better for sagging cheeks or double chin, or for enlarged pores. Use this 6lmple lotion during the heat of the day and you will find it wonderfully refreshing. You will lose that wilty, tired look. The ingredients of course are perfectly harmless. Be sure to ask the druggist for powdered saxolite. Advertisement.

FIRST TIME THIS STRANGE CASE IS TOLD THE PUBLIC Local citizen declares he feels like a different man since he overcame the dizzy spells, weak kidneys, indigestion and gastritis. New remedy, Dreco, was prompt in action and pleasant in effect. Recommends it strongly.

There is probably no other medicin

of its kind has won the praise that! Dreco has during the past few months ' right here in this section. Men and women who have given themselves up , as incurable are coming forward with remarkable signed statements telling what Dreco has accomplished for j them after almost everything else i had failed. "Every morning now I wish my ' alarm clock would postpone ringing a couple of hours," said Mr. C .A. Rhodenhamel, a well known citizen of Richmond, Ind. "I enjoy my sleep now whereas before I'd roll and toss all night long and be worn out next morning. I was afraid I was about to be laid on the shelf for my work seemed to drag on me. After meals I'd have a full feeling, often with nausea and gastritis. I'd frequently get very dizzy and had aching pains in my back, di

rectly over my kidneys. I was bilious I all the time and had severe headaches, j " "Since taking a treatment of Dreco;

1 m use anoiner person ior an tnese troubles are gone: haven't had one dizzy spell; pains in my back all gone and I eat hearty and never fear the after effects as before. Dreco is grand medicine and I strongly recommend it." The old-fashioned remedies, made from roots and herbs, are the best for any one to take. Dreco is made from twelve different roots, herbs, barks and leaves. These act on the stomach, bowels and kidneys and purify the blood. Dreco knocks rheumatism out shortly; relieves catarrh of the head and stomach; makes you sleep soundly and creates a good appetite. As a blood purifier nothing can equal Dreco. It puts a stop to boils, eczema and other blood affections. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thlstlethwaite's seven drug stores. Advertisement
