CHICAGO t.RAlM AND PROVISION'S.
Future Market I Severely Weakened by
ttharp Hreak in l orn,
fhleasn. Au. - 11. A severe break In
prices offered for corn, for Immediate de
livery tended today to weaken the market
for future. Industries were bidding only
19$ for No. I mixed thl norning. a drop
ot ITo a compared with yesterday's salea.
Th fresh setback wa" attributed to th fact
that distiller continued to retrain irom
msklng sny purchases and appeared to have
fully satisfied their . want .previous to th
enactment of the food control measure.
Opening quotation for future, which varied
from unchanged figure to o lower, with
December at $1.14 to $1.16 and May at
$1.11)6 to $1.1$. were followed by a alight
rally and then a decline all around to well
below yesterday's finish.
Wheat slid downward. Influenced by bear
ish sentiment due to the assumed unlike
lihood of any sustained advance In price
under official government food control. After
opening unchanged at $2.11 for September,
the market descended to $2.14.
Oats weakened with corn. Beside, pre
dictions were current that the government
estimate of the season's yield would yet
, be raised 100.000.000 bushels.
New record-breaking upturns la the hog
market carried provisions upgrade, Th
greatest advance was for pork.
The fact that notwithstanding the breaU,
Fort Omaha Brings Gladness lo the
Men Who Will Soon Be at the Front
cash price wer (tilt at a big premium
compared with future prevented any rad
ical weaknes in rueure. un close lor
future wa nervous at th same aa yester
day's finish to ,6 lower with December.

BDMPER CORN AND
POTATO MS SURE
Late Bains Are "What Was
Needed to Bring Along the
Later Planting of
Each.
, The Northwestern railroad crop re
port for the week ending Friday
night and having to do with the ter
ritory along the Nebraska lines indi
cates that the state is to continue
in the front ranks as a corn and oats
producer.
In a few isolated localities there
are reports of corn having been dam
aged by tl:e extremely hot weather of
ten days ago. However, this applies
only to early planted corn and, tak
ing the territory as a whole, the area
where the damage occurred is in
significant. Late planted corn is re
ported in almost perfect condition,
with a promise of an immense yield
in the event there is not an early
frost.
On account of .the largely increased
acreage in corn it is figured that in
the event of reasonably favorable
weather the yield will be the greatest
in the history of the state.
All over the state the threshing of
oats is well under way and the yield
is surprising. Agents report that
fields are turning out all the way
from forty up to 100 bushels an acre,
with the acreage fully 25 per cent
more than any former year.
The recent rains, it is asserted, have
assured an immense crop of pota
toes. Those planted early were
slightly damaged by the hot and dry
weather, but of these the acreage was
small. The late crop, planted for
winter use, is coming on in fine shape,
with every indication of a bumper
yield.
Haying is in full blast and every
thing points to the gathering of more
than the normal quantity all through
the districts of the northwest. There
have been two cuttings of alfalfa and
the third is about ready for the har
''t. -As a. rule the third cutting of al
falfa is light, but this season, on ac
count of the rains, it is said to be
about as heavy as either the first or
second.

Slackers Force .Sioux
City Priest to Resign
Sioux City, la.. Aug. 11. Enemies
of the selective draft, through threats
made against Rev". M. Cybulski, pastor
of the Lithuanian Catholic church
here, have forced him to resign. His
resignation was tendered to Bishop
P. J. Garrigan of the Sioux City dio
cese tonight, and will take effect as
soon as another charge can be found
for him.
Since the start of the war with Ger
many, Rev. Father Cybulski has been
urging his people to show their pa
triotism as Americans. This he said,
was taken as a matter of ' course
among his people until the selective
draft law was passed.
The more radical element among
the foreigners in the church regarded
this policy as a menace to their free
dom, and began to protest. Rev. Fa
ther Cybulski is alarmed at the numer
ous threats made against him. even
by his closest parishioners, and says
he is ready to move from his home
among them. Nearly all the mem
bers of his church are employed in
the packing houses here.
