Cattle Another run of 10,000 cattle on
lop of Monday's record breaking receipts of
20,000 had a rather demoralizing effect on
the market for all except the more desir
able beef steers. No cornfeds of any con
sequence were Included in the offering, but
the best of the grass beeves sold around 10
16o lower than yesterday and from 6O0
to 75c lower than at the best time last week.
On the medium and common cattle that
constituted the bulk of the offerings the
market was vsry uneven and uncertain, and
in some cases prices being 76c$1.00 lower
than at the best time last week.
Cow and heifers were in rather liberal
supplies and showing just as much decline
as beef steers, a good share of the medium
and common cows selling 60c$1.00 lower
than a week ago. In stockers and feeders
the market was badly demoralixed. Sup
piles were heavy, and both yard traders and
country buyers were bidding anywhere from
60c to $1,00 lower than a week ago.

weight stuff, including the first string ot
Wyomlngs that has been here this mason
made $16.75, and others sold around $16.(0
and on down. Fat lambs were slow, but

bought them steady, though early bids had
been lower. The highest sale up to noon

yesterday' offerings. Old sheep were about
steady, both to feeders and packers. Choice,

visions Hold Finn 1 Beneficial Rain.
Chicago. Aug. 21. Firmness displayed by
corn early in th day when depleted by
ing were enlarged, lost Its force later on
free selling, and prices which had advanced
about lc above yesterday' closing figures
sagged below that level. Short coverings
late In the session followed the aDsorption
of the offerings and price rallied. The
close was steady o lower to o higher
with December at $t.081.08 and .May
at $1.07., Wheat finished steady at $2.10,
an advance of 6c over night. Oats at the
close were He higher to o lower. Pro
vision held firm, ruling from unchanged to
16a higher.
Weather conditions In the corn states wer
generally regarded as beneficial with rains
In different localities In the central sections.
Cash demand was better, but there was a
comparativ absence of new to attract trad
er' attention. Shipping sales wer placed
at 30,000 bushel.
Small amounts of wheat changed hand
to even up outstanding contracts In Septem
ber, the only option traded In. Word from
Washington that announcement on the price
of wheat as fixed by the federal food con
troller would be mode September I, was re
ceived In brokers' offices. The few trades
in the major bread stuff made today were
not regarded as significant.
Oats with less variation in price figures
followed the course of corn, advancing and
receding rapidly aa relatively small dealings.
Country offerings were small.
Provision made fair gains, ths $20 hog
which appeared today in the yards as a new
high recerd, encouraging buying. October
lard was the most active commodity.

Government'! Policy Toward
Coal Roads Used by Trad
ers With Unfavorable
Influence on Market.
New York, Aug. 21. Traders made free
use today of various developments calcu
lated to exert an unfavorable Influence upon
the stork market. Chief of theae were the
more definite policies outlined by the gov
ernment towards the coal roads and pro
ducers and the urgent financial require
ments of equipment and munitions com
panies. New low records for Delaware and Hud
son and New Haven at 100H and Sv,. re
spectively, were not without thclnj senti
mental effect. New York Central. Reading,
Canadian Pacific, Chicago and Northwest
ern, Atlantic Coast Line and many of the
low priced rails also made gross recessions
of 1 to 2 points.
Bethlehem steel new stork bore the brunt
of the concerted drive against Industrials,
Us extreme loss of six points, with a later
rally of.l resulting from Incessant selling
based on reports regarding new financing.
Related shares yielded 1 te 1 points. United
States steel faring better than others of
the same class on It net loss ot V point at
i:V
The motors, sugsrs, leathers and kindred
war descriptions felt the weight of htsr
pressure combined with occasional liquida
tion, recessions In these and less specific
Issues ranging from one to almost 4 rolnta.
Oils, notably Mexican Petroleum, which
made a gross gain of five points, together
with shippings snd tobscros. were almost
the sole elements ot strength, the latter
rising briskly In the more active dealings of
the last hour, coppers also coming forward
at the same time. Total sales, ' 426,000
shares.
Calling of loans by some of the big finan
cial Institutions tnd private bankers created
a firmer tone In call money, but time rates
were essler.
Bonds wer lower In the main, the Lib
erty issue showing stesdlneis. however, at
99 88 to 99.96. Total sales, par value, $!,
$50,000. Vnlted States bonds (old Issues) were un
changed on call.

LONGER HOURS FOR
CENTRALSTUDENTS
Seven-Hour Day to Be Inaugu
rated at High School to Re
duce Heavy Percentage
of Failures.
Supervised study periods and an ad
ditional hour of study will greet the
students at Central High school this
year. It ha; been found that 30 to 40
per cent of the students either fail or
do not do their work well and an at
tempt will be made to reduce this
average.
J. G. Masters, principal of the high
school, has the following to say in
regard to the proposed changes:
"We have changed to a seven
hour day because the matter is most
vital to the work of the high school
students themselves. With the short
day we have "had heretofore, nearly
all students when released from the
atmosphere of study and work left the
high school early and passed the
afternoon in some form, of amuse
ment .' at something else than their
studie3. The evenings wer cften
passed in the same way and as a re
sult many came to high school the
next day with no lessons or only a
part of the lessons prepared.. Of
course, this was not true of the ma
jority of the students, but was true
of a very heavy per cent. The ma
jority of students of Central High
school are doing a very high quality
of work anJ will measure favorably
with the best work in this field in the "
United States. It is the 30 or 40
per cent who are not doing the work
at all, or not doing it well, that we
are trying to reach and help, The
olan will make more work for those
in charge of administrative affairs in
the high school, of course, and they
will receive nothing from the addi
tional work except the consciousness
of work well done and .good accom
plished. '
Not Club House.
"A high school exists for the
students not as a club house or so
cial meeting place, but as a place of
genuine work and actual accomplish
ment. A student would soon lose re
spect for an institution which did
not make him work. He will be all
the more proud of one that will bring
him to the highest possible point of
struggle and achievement. Only when
one does his best is there real joy
in accomplishment.
Parents' Request.
"Many parents have requested a
longer day. They have felt that as
long as pupils were in an appropriate
atmosphere that, they would work,
but such influence once removed they
let the work go.
"It is the purpose of the high school
to do a great deal in directed or
supervised study during the. year. It
has been found in a great many higlr
schools that careful supervision . has
reduced failures to a marked extent.
Central High school ohould either
lower its standards or get more
study done if failures are to be re
duced. The first expedient is out of
the question. The second plan is the
one the high school is launched upon
and the faculty is willing to under
take the extra amount of care and -supervision
that better work may be
accomplished.
"High school will begin at 8:45
and close at 2:38 under the new
schedule. Many high schools run
until 3:30 or 4. Kansas City, Mo.t
high schools begin at 8:15. Nearly all
high schools have seven hours and
many of them have eight for their
day. It will thus be seen that the new
day of seven hours will give an ad
ditional forty-five minutes for study,
and not bs an unusually heavy day. '

Women's Clubs to Be Notified
Of Civil Service Exams
"Upon the honesty and efficiency
of our civil service will, in a great
measure, depend the welfare of our
nation, at home and the health and
lives of those at the front," asserts
Mrs. F. H. Cole, chairman of the
civil service reform department, Gen
eral Federation of Women's clubs.
Mrs. Cole has made arrangement
whereby each state chairman of civil
service reform will have mailed to her
directly from Washington, D. C, a
list of the examinations open to men
and women who are being called for
to aid in the civil service of our conn
try. "Each chairman is asked to do
her bit by sending information thus
received to her state president and of
ficers and to her committee, members
and she and they in turn, to send ad
vance notice of such examinations to
club women and to the state and local
press," Mrs. Cole urges.
