CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS, '
Whs Trons Further n Ahaenoe of Buying
by fbrwtgiwra.
Chlnago, Nov. 18 Virtual cessation of
foreign buying effected a set back today In
tho. value of wheat. Prices closed heavy.
34&o net lower, with December at $1,780
3.78 an dMay at 1.38ti.84. Corn un
lshed lPlc down, oats off 4yo to
Or and provisions off by 1208Oe.
ATiparnntly no export amies of wheat wer
: made, barring $50,000 bushels at Baltimore.
The absence of foreign demand gave tho
bears " an advantage and was emphasised
by assertions that India would have export
able wurptua of 100.O09.009 bushels, Re
v newed dlscuaston of a poulble foodHtuff cm
bargo by this country tended further to
handicap the bulls. Rain In the southern
half ot Argentina counted allso against the
buying side.
December delivery of wheat waa espe
dally weak, going at one time at about 4c
discount under the May option. There was
word from the seaboard that in some cases
ex pert era had been resellers of wheat, pre
aumajiiy on account of trouble in obtaining
veasel space for immediate shipments.
Rains in Argentina tended to put 'corn
prices on the down grade. Chances of en
larged domestic receipts formed another
element of depression. Palling oft In ar
rivals gave relative strength to oats. Ex
port call Tor oats continued.
Provisions were boarishly affected by the
fall In the value of coarse grains, Some
not was also taken of a decline in Liver

; important factor in the successful and profitable operation of

For Man Who
Like the elephant, th Miguel, a
thrifty and hard-workmc SDaniard.
never forgot nor never gave up his
search for the man who violated his
friendship and decamped with the
savings of a lifetime.
A more than three years' search
ended in Chicago Fridav with the ar
rest of Dusan Ristas on a charge of
obtaining money under talse pre
tenses. Ristas will be brought back
to Omaha to stand trial. Requisition
papers to bring Ristas back here vtere
made out in County Attorney Mag
ney's office and Detective George W.
Allen of the South Side Station has
gone to the Windy City to take the
prisoner into custody.
Three years ago last September lli
Miguel was a- resident of Omaha.
Ristas was his friend he believed.
One day, according to Miguel,
Ristas came to him and said that he
had a chance to make big money.' He
wanted to buy a carload of Missouri
mules at Joplin and ship them to Chi
cago.' But he only had about $500,
and to put across the deal would, re
quire the outlay of another $2,500.
Would Miguel loan him the money?
Miguel said that he did and that
was the last he saw of Ristas.
The pursuit of Ristas became a
No Rubber Nipples
On the Milk Bottles
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Berlin, Nov. 10. To make sure that
as a result of the rubber shortage
in Germany, infants will not have to
go without rubber nipples on the milk
bottle, the Bundesrat has ordered
that the entire available supply within
the empire, and all that are imported,
shall be turned over to a specially
created company that ini turn is to
have charge of the equable distribu
tion of this small, but necessary
article.
Mothers will in the future be able
to procure two nipples per child un
der one year of age, on presenting
birth certi6cates tor prove the age of
tne cnuaren, ana then will be able
to buy new nipples by turningin the
old ones. A maximum price of 35
pfennigs per nipple has been set
for .all that are made in Germany.
Sugar Supply of '
Sweden Exhausted
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Stockholm, Sweden, Nov. 10.
After November 1 no sugar is sold
in Sweden except upon presentation
of a sugar card. A stock-taking
throughout he kingdom has shown
that some method of controlline the
consumption js unavoidable, and the
card system, patterned on Germany's
methods of regulation, was decided
on. One kilogram (2.2 pounds), will
be allowed per month per capita, ex
cept for December, when two kilo
grams will be availbale.
1 he sugar shortage has been
marked for some months, and has
lately assumed serious proportions.
It has been hoped and expected, how
ever, that this fall's sugar beet har
vest would make any-stkte regulation
of consumption unnecessary, but it
has now been found that, including
this year's production, there is avail

mania with Miguel. He chased him
from one part of the country to
another; several times they were in
the samev city, but Ristas somehow
eluded his pursuer. Once Miguel had
his man cornered in an Illinois town,
but the authorities there wouldn't ar
rest without a warrant from Omaha.
Miguel hurried back to Omaha, pro
cured the warrant and returned to Il
linois, but Ristas had fled. On an
other occasion the men met face to
face in the mountains of Virginia.
Ristas slipped from Miguel's grasp
again and the chase was continued.
Miguel moved to Chicago. So did
Ristas. Neither man knew of the
other's whereabouts, although in the
western metropolis they were living
less than two blocks away from each
other.
It's a small world after all, thought
Miguel, when he chanced to run onto
his quarry one day. But this time he.
didn't confront him. Miguel just hur
ried to a railroad station and boarded
the first train for Omaha. The
county attorney issued the warrant
for the crime alleged to have been
committed in 1913 and Miguel re
turned to Chicago and had Ristas ar
rested. The requisition papers was
the final chapter in the chase
able only about thirteen kilograms
per person from now until November
1, 1917.
A further result of. the sugar short
age may be a forced reduction in
the production of arrac punch, the
so-called national drink of the
Swedes. Fully a million kilograms
are used for punch-making yearly.
The drinker who consumes three
half bottles weekly a rather mod
erate consumption for- a punch
drinker consumes therein as much
sugar as his sugar card entitles him
to buy at the grocer's.

Is Italian Uniform
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Headquarters of the Italian Army,
Oct. 3. The uniform of the Italian
army is said to be both the' ugliest
and the least visible of any worn in
Europe. "Its wearer doesn't even
make a shadow," said one visitor re
cently among the party of American
officials that accompanied Ambassa
dor Thomas Nelson Page to the front.
The color is officially described as'
gray-green. An Englishman tried to
convey his idea of it as follows:
"Take some blue Nile mud, rub in
carefully two pounds of ship rat hair,
paint a roan horse with the compo
sition, and then ybu will understand
why the Austrians can't see the
Italian soldiers in broad daylight at .
fifty yards."
The Italian army was among the
first to make a science of the ques
tion of uniform colors. It did not se
lect, for instance,, the horizon, col- -ored
uniform adopted more than a
vear aio bv the French, because,
while this is the least visible on roads
and plains of a flat, open country, it
would no do well in the rains and
muds and among the trees of the
mountains.
