carry the enthusiasm of America to
them, aid them in building up their
work through the organizations now
existing in each, country, and tell
them of the results obtained here."
After attending the world W. C.
T. U. convention in London in
April, 1920, Miss Gordon said she
and Miss Deane would travel

through drinking of wood alcohol,
rnd that something soon must be
done about it She added, however,
"the number of deaths caused by
that poison would not compare with
the number caused by drinking so
called 'good whisky."

Hogs Receipts of hogs have been fairly
liberal this week, regardless of a holiday,
almost equaling the total of last week.
This week's run reached 60,100 head. The
week opened with a weak undertone, the
first few days showing declines of 2550c,
demand broadened, beginning Wednesday
and prices have gradually worked higher.
With a slight advance Saturday and bulk
of $13.3513.65 and top of $13.80. the
highest top of ithe week, shows that the
decline of fore part of the week has all
been regained and the week olosed around
lOo higher than last Saturday.

Chicago (irain and Provisions.
'Chicago, Deo. 27. Likelihood of a ma
terial Increase of available supplies at
terminal markets had a decided bearish
effect today on corn. Prices closed heavy,
2Hc to 4He net lower, with January
$1.28 to $1.281s, and May $1.27 to
$1.28. Oats finished le to 2c down and
provisions off To to $1.
Liquidating sales on th part of holder
began at the outset in the corn trade and
continued throughout the session, with
buying power at a minimum. The fact
that unlicensed owner could look forward
to only three day more In which to get
rid of January contracts, did much to
emphasize the downward tendency that
valuea possessed, owing to efforts of rail
road officials to facilitate the crop move
ment. Denials that any order had been
Issued to give grain priority over all other
freight received but little notice, as it
was conceded that grain car wer to be
given preference in the repair hops and
that cars suitable for carrying grain were
not to be used for any other purpose In
grain territory.
Big export buying, said to aggregate
1,000,000 bushels, failed to uphold oats a
against sympathy with the bearish action
of corn.
Notwithstanding higher quotation on
hogs, provisions were carried down by the
weakness of grain.
