Chicago, Aug. 13. Announcement
in general terms of the government
plans to rule the wheat and flour busi

ant difference in the wheat market to
day. After opening one cent lower at
2.14 September, the market recovered
to 2.15. No other option but Septem
ber was dealt in to any extent what-
i ever.
Falling off in demand for corn for .
jmmediate delivery, , especially to dis-l
tiners continued to weaken the corn
market. ODenine: prices which ranKed
t from 1-4 to 1 cent lower with Decem
ber at 1.14 to 1-2 and May at 1.11 1-4
to 1-2, were followed by a moderate
. rally and then a fresh set back. Oats
J gave way with corn.
New high-price records in the hog

The Downing of Mamaux-
Welling, Man to Meet
' Leonard.
(By United Press.) V;
New York, Aug. 13. When
Hugo
Bezdek, new manager of the Pirates,
suspended Al Mamaux, he gave parr
tial vindication, at least, of the meas '
ures taken by JimmyCallahan to put
something into the Pittsburg-- club.
Callahan was piloried extensively
for disciplining the temperamental
star. It was declared Callahan did
not know how to handle Mamaux and
that George Gibson, now with , the
, Giants, was the only man who could
get any work out of the youngster.
It is being directly charged now
that jyfamaux is and has been playing
for his release. He is not trying to
win, it is stated, because he figures
tie eventually will be transferred to
some other club, preferably the
Giants. Evidently there is no. chance
of such a transfer, for John McGraw
recently went out and pulled off a cantonments as safe as 'medical
trade for Al Demaree, adding a medi- science knows how," he said today,
ocre right hander to his staff. If he "We have put the best brains of the
could have obtained Mamaux, he country on ; the job. We have organ
doubtless would have done so. ized a staff that yOu couldn't equal in
any ten hospitals in the United
Despite the fact that Joe Welling is
generally recognized as the logical
man to meet Benny Leonard in his
first real championship bout with a
lightweight, there is small chance of
the boys getting together unless Wel
ling changes managers.
There is a feud of long standing
between Billy Gibson, manager of the
lightweight champion, and Jimmy
Johnston, who directs the affairs of
Welling.
When Leonard met and defeated
Freddie Welsh, winning the light
weight championship, Johnston gave
out a statement declaring that Leon
ard did not and could not weigh 133
pounds. This statement was contra
dicted, not only by Gibson and Leon
ard, but by Welsh's manager, who
said Leonard weighed just what was
announced.
This didn't help any to clear away
the clouds between Gibson and John
ston, and they seem just as far apart
as they ever were. The logical guess
is that Johnny Dundee will be sent
against the New Yorker, although he
is hardly fitted more than several oth
er boys. Frankie Callahan, the
Brooklyn, lightweight,- also wants a
chance at the title. It is doubtful if
Calahan would have a chance for vic
tory in ten rounds, but in a long
scrap the verdict might be changed,
for the Brooklynite is one of the
toughtest.
NEW BASIS FOR
BUYING GOLD BULLION
By Associated Press.)
Washington, Aug. 13. Because of
the extreme rise in the price of silver,
Director of the Mint Baker, has au
thorized mints and assay offices to
purchase gold bullion hereafter on a
basis of fineness, disregarding tne pre
vious regulations under which bullion
was purchased on the basis of the
value of its silver content.
Bullion containing not less than
one part of old and not more than 800
parts base mtal in a total .of 1,000
parts may be purchased under the
new regulation. Heretofore only bul
lion containing at least ten times in
gold the value of the silver content
has been purchased.
The rise in the price of silver from
51 cents to 82 7-8 per ounce since the
war started has resulted in the re
jection of a considerable quantity of
ore containing golf because the value
of the gold was not ten times as
great as the value of the silver at its
high market price. This situtaion will
be corrected and the low gk-ade gold
bullion will be purchased under the
new regulations.

That was one of the things Surgeon
General Gorgas made clear today when

care of. "
-As for germs, the General is going
around to every one of the canton

vNo Admittance sighs. , ,
It was Gorgas who drove the yellow
jacket out of : the South, made the
Canal, zone safe for ditch diggers and
put the finishing touch on the bubonic
plague rats of New Orleans.
He is now in supreme command of!
America's surgical and medical war
plans for the Sammies at home and
abroad.
"We intend to make our military
'States."
There, will be specialists on every
thing. Major J. E. Goldthwait, for
instance, the wizard, of bones and
joints. The , Mayo brothers of Roches
ter, Minn., "are Majors under Gorgas
too.""
Regarding mental disorders among
the men, which he characterized as
"very common in this way," General
Gorgas said: -: " -
"We will take special care of these.
Dr. Pearce Hailey is working on. that
in our department with the rank of
Major. -
"Mental troubles are rmong the
most common to be dealt -ith .'n mod
ern armies. So much so that Eu
ropean hospitals have had to special
ize in them.
"Shell shock of course, requires
scientific treatment. The best results
are obtained when the patient is kept
under observation within sound of the
guns.
"It used to be that a coward or a
quitter was rewarded with a kick or
given heroic, treatment in the guard
house. Our prevailing practice, as is
the case in all modern armies, will
be in the majority of cases to give the
needed mental and medical treatment
to these men who can't live up to their
duties as soldiers."

Even though sacked,-Buckeye Hulls sell for much less than loose,

anything that will help you use this product to best advantage is
worth the expense. ' ' '
Other Advantages
Buckeye Hulls are free of lint

Buckeye Hulls allow better as

' Kimbraugh Bros., Indianola, Mi., say: -
f ' We are using Buckeye Hulls and are very much pleased
with them. We, think they are superior to old style
' To secure the best results and to develop the ensilsge odor, wet the hull
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
