Quality of .New Corn , Very' Disappointing In quality the new corn coming to the Omaha market is a disappoint ment. Most of It is so full of moisture that it is hardly marketable and con sequently it hardly grades. Today the receipts were 27 carloads and the sales were made all the way between $1.32 and 1.90 a bushel. Nobody was able to say whether prices were up or down, as there . was nothing with which to compare the offerings. Grain men assert that the Condition cannot improve until temperatures S- come low enough to freeze the Disture out of the kernels and the cobs. Oats were 1J41 cents up and sales were at 6666J4 cents a bushel. Receipts were 44 carloads. Wheat receipts were ?4 carloads.

FOOD CARDS ARE NOWTABULATED Final Figures Show 200 Per 4 sons Who Do Not Uphold America in War on Germany. One person in 1,000 in Nebraska is not in sympathy with the war on Ger many. This remarkably low percentage of disloyalty was shown in the returns of the food pledge campaign. The fig ures have just been tabulated. They show that out of the 200,000 families called upon for signatures during the campaign, 200 in refusing to sign gave as their reason their lack of sym pathy Vith the American cause in the war. The names of these people have ben carefully listed and submitted to the State Council of Defense for that organization to deal with in whatever way they see fit. Less than tyi per cent of the 200, 000 families visited refused to sign from all causes. Some of them re fused because they did not under stand the nature of the oledee. and others because they signed previously when the campaign was only half car ried out, and they did not understand that they might sign the card a sec ond time.
