JOINT SESSION
PAYS TRIBUTE
TO COMMANDER
(Continued from Page One.)
summation so devoutly wished by
all peoples, kindreds and tongues.
"What we say here will be little
heeded, but the memory of what
you and your gallant men did over
there will be cherished forever, as
part of the precious treasures of
the mighty republic.
"General, you commanded more
than anv other American soldier
ever commanded more, we hope,
., . . , . ... '
than any other American will ever
command, for every sane and patri-
otic American most fervently tiopes
that our country, so favored by
heaven in all that makes for true
manhood and womanhood, will
never be involved in another wan
"Of all your actions the one for
which we are most profoundly
grateful and for which we love you I
best was that you strongly and
triumphantly insisted that you and
your men would fight only as an
American army and not merely as
replacement troops for British,
rench, Italians or Belgians. Tha
eat was the acid test of your ro
bust Americanism. It caused all
our hearts to twell with inneffable
pride and entiti! you to our eter
nal gratitude.
"Extraordinary military rank
should be conferred only for extra
ordinary services in the field. In
appeciation of your services, the
congress, voicing the sentiments oi
the American people, have con
ferred on you in perpetuity the ex
traordinary rank of full general
the highest military honor within
our power to btstow. and in hon
oring you we feel that we are hon
oring ourselves.
"In addition to the permanent
generalship, the congress has ten
dered you individually and to your
officers and men en masse the
thanks of the American people and
yof congress of the United States
rare honor in itself conferred in
oii. entire history on only a very
few of our distinguished citizens
for extraordinary services to the
republic.
Formal Message of Thanks.
"The resolutions of thanks is in
these words:
" 'The thanks of the American
people and of the congress of the I
United States are due, and are j
hereby tendered, to General John i
J. Pershing, for his highly dis-
tinguished services as commander-
in-chief of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in Europe, and to
the officers and men under his
command
duty and
for their unwavering
valor throughout the
war.
In conclusion the former speaker
paid a tribute to his native state
and explained why he had been
selected to speak, saying:
'"The chief reason why the com
mittee of arrangements appointed
me for the most pleasant function
. is the. fact that you are not only a
, great American but also the fore
. most living Missourian than which
there is no finer type of American
while I happen to be the dean of
the Missouri delegation in con
gress. I am proud and happy to
present you as 'exhibit A," showing
for the whole world what sort of
men Missouri grows when in her
most prodigal, of moods."
PRAISE COUNTY
FARM IN REPORT
Supervisors' Committee States In
stitution is Well Conducted
and Commends Steward.
Rock Island's county home in
Rural township near Coal Valley
came in for an abundance of praise
before the supervisors yesterday
afternoon when the report of the
special committee on inspection
wa3 read. The tour was conducted
Sept. 11. ,
The institution is a model of
cleanliness, the surroundings are
beautiful, and the inmates ' are
treated with the utmost kindness,
according to the report. Superin
tendent and Mrs. W'ylie are ex
tended a vote of thanks for the
manner in which they have con
ducted the farm.
k d,lf
The committee notes the need
the repair of floors in the
men's and women's Duildings,
which at present are in such a
state that water used for scrub
bing seeps through and will in
time cause plaster on the ceilings
below to fall. It is also recom
mended that a new hog house be
constructed, and at a greater dis
tance from the main buildings
than the one now in use.
Mention is made of the new barn
which can house -more than 50
head of cattle. At present 22 cows
ire furnishing milk.
The old folks on the Mrni ap
peared to be contented with the.
condition of affairs, the report
itates. Several of them voluntarily
ipproached the members of the
committee and spoke highly of the
food given them, and of the kind
ness shown by the heads of the
institution.

j New York, Sept. 18. A dispatch
from London says tngusn weaun
is equal to $80,000,000,000. of which
one-half is offset by debts.
Interest will again center upon
the developments of steel labor
matters. It is feared that if a gen
eral strike comes it will have
more far-reaching effect than is
now thought. On account of the
demoralization of foreign exchange
a gloomy feeling prevails in the
street. This is being felt to an un
usual degree, also, on the Royal
Dutch exchange.
Those who sold stocks short will
want to buy them back, especially
if any favorable action can be tak
en by Gompers to stay the strike
movement. . The short side is al
ready crowded and it will take lit
tle encouragement to induce bears
to attempt to cover.
Nothing has transpired to justi
fy a hope that the steel strike will
be averted, labor leaders say.

I Chicago, Sept. IS. The grains
should be lower, to 10:30 a. ni.
Weakness in foreign exchange cre-
kates a rather gloomy feeling in
financial circles. Gary insists on
open shop in the steel industry,
which leaves the question where
it was at the start of the agita
tion. The great 4S-day break is gener
ally regarded as being completed.
Many believe 1.50 a limit for Sep
tember corn. One cash man guess
ed 750,000 bushels new corn sold
to the east for deferred shipments.
Outside markets are guessed as
about sold up on rye for future
shipments for a time.
Many traders fear there will be
no frost scare in corn this season.
Grain Opinions.
Gray Feel that it will be the
part of wisdom not to ignore prof
its on all healthy returns.
Clement Market will follow the
disturbed labor conditions; the
outcome being yet in serious doubt.
Good rains throughout the corn
belt make pasturage, and any les
sening of corn shipments will have
little effect.
Thompson Until some settl
ment of the industrial question is
arrived at there is not likely to be
any broad market. Quick changes
are to be expected, on any recur
rent rumors until this, matter is
threshed out, or a strike results.

CORN TRADING
GROWS UNEASY
OVER OUTLOOK
'errousness Over Labor Situation,
Especially the Steel Strike,
Shown by Market.
Chicago, Sept. 18. Nervousness
over the labor situation, especially
the uncertain outlook regarding
the steel strike, resulted in an ir
regular opening today in the corn
market. Little pressure to sell,
however, developed, and with com
mission houses absorbing most of
the offerings more confidence in
the buying side was shown. Never
theless advances were not well
maintained. Opening prices which
ranged from Hie decline! to c
advance, with September $1,430
1AZM, and December $1.21 1.21
were followed by a moderate up
turn all around, but then by some
thing of a reaction.
Scantiness of arrivals gave inde
pendent firmness to oats. After
opening off to c advance, in
cluding December at 68c to 68c,
the market scored a substantial ad
vance. Provisions were dull and weak.
There was an absence of any ag
gressive, support.
Speculators, who took a bearish
view of the likelihood of a steel
strike, found difficti'ity later in cov
ering their sales. Scarcity of rural
offerings tended to lift the market
after every dip. The close was
strong. 2V2C to 4c net higher, with
September at 1.47 and December
at 1.24 to 1.25.

GOOD DAYS TO Kun f C.
UUUIv Ull I U IW , returned to her home yesterday
PUT FAIR OVER
Friday and Saturday Will See Big
Crowds In Aledo if There Is
o More I lain.
Hopes are still entertained for
weather that will give the Mercer
county fair organization a chance
to break even. If rain holds off
Friday and Saturday big crowds
are .assured, in spite of muddy
roads.
People for many miles around
had planned this year to atteud
one or more days of the week and
they will yet come if possible.
uampneBs put a neciaeu ap
upon me proceedings
tnougn the attendance was eu-
mated at between two and three
thousand at noon and the number
was being rapidly augmented The
afternoon crowd bid fair to come
up to somewhere near i'.ie average ;
of former years. I
The crew looking after the main- i
tenance of the race track spent a
busy forenoon trying to get it in
shape for this afternoon, when the
opening races were scheduled to
take place. At noon there was an
even chance of the program bein
carried out, depending upon wheth
er any more rain tell
Time hung heavy on the hands
of mny of those who came to
Aletio to spend the week as exhib
itors, in charge of concessions, or
as spectators, since the rains start
ed, but good order has been main
tained and surpjus energies have
not Tented themselves in any way
to endanger the peace of the com
munity.
Great gobs of gloom pervaded
the atmosphere of the Mercer coun
ty fair grounds yesterday. Rain
that dreaded bogey of fair officfals
was the program. The downpour
was steady and plentiful, bringing
with it a raw, biting chill. Skies of
leaden gray promised no immedi
ate breakup. The grounds became
a soggy mire of mud and water,
while the roads leading to the
grounds grew exceedingly slippery.
Throughout the day, with scarce
ly any cessation the drizzle con
tinued. But a scattering handful
mustered up sufficient courage to
brave the elements for a peek at
what was to have been children's
day of Mercer's biggest festival. A
few of the young folks scampered
from tent to tent, taking advantage
of the, for them, admissionless day.
Performers of carnival and free
attractions remained under cover,
idling the time away at desultory
games of cards. Concession men
and women held sway at patron
less stands, spending the time in
speculating as to how soon the
weather would change and Old Sol
beam forth his drying rays upon
a seepy. dripping landscape.
In the administration building
fair officials hopefully waited for
the weather to clear.
Expected Kecord Day.
All was in readiness yesterday
morning for one of the bumper
days of this year's fair. The en
tries recorded Tuesday totaled
greater than ever before in the
history of the fair association.
Ideal weather favored on entry
day, Tuesday. Tuesday night was
clear and apparently cloudless. At
6 o'clock yesterday morning ' the
rain began, shattering hopes of
Secretary G. C. Bowers and fair
officials for a new fair week rec
ord. Yesterday judges in. the various
departments completed their tasks,
and judges' books began coming in
shortly after 3 o'clock in the aft
ernoon. Department H, covering
rntries in horticulture, was thj
first received, being closely follow
ed by the awards in department K,
featuring flowers and plants.
Taxis are Idle.
Yesterday the "pickia's" were
lean for the swarm of taxi drivers
who overran Aledo on the day pre
vious. Some of the more ambitious
ventured as far as Gilchrist, lured
there cm the chance that the Rock
Island Southern might be off sched
ule. Sure enough, it was, the stub
line operating at intervals through
out the day. Many disgruntled in
terurban passengers solicited that
they might continue their Journey
into Aledo.
Aside from the fact that there is
apparently an abundance of liquor
in Aledo and on the fair grounds,
some offering the contraband arti
cle for sale at $10 a quart, there
has been little in the way of'law
lessness to require the attention of
the Fpecial officers patrolling the
grounds and city, day and night.
Fine Start Tuesday.
Tuesday, from early until late,
exhibitors ai-d fair officials toiled
in recording and entering various
show displays. The fair grounds
appeared as a thriving, bustling
city, in marked contrast to its ap
pearance yesterday. On Tuesday
a steady stream of pedestrians,
pleasure cars, trucks, wagons and
vehicles of almost every descrip
tion wended their respective ways
to and from the center of industry.
Many out-of-town displays came by
auto truck.
In thehome bureau tent yester
day a few parents listened to the
two lectures planned on the after
noon's program; one at 2 o'clock
on "Infant Care, by Mrs. Fe'her-
ston of the child welfare depart- j
ment of the communitv council. I
and another at 3 o'clock by Dr.
Harriet O. F. Alexander of the de
partment of public health, on "So
cial Hygiene as a Public Health
Measure," an address tourhin?
upon venereal diseases and their
control.
Swine breeders represented by
animals at the grounds this year
are the following:
Poland Chinas.

OPERATORS OF
WHEEL OUSTED
BY THE MAYOR
Tbo whir and click of the ivory
ball on the Moss Bros, carnival
roulette wheel housed in a tent
on North College avenue near the
postoffice attracted a prominent
Aledo citizen as be drew near the
attraction.
Ten cents a chance. Pick your
number. If the ball stops at the
number of your choice, you win.
Thus the lingo of the barker.
Prizes were cute little dolls, candy

der. But that was close, surely
Dame Fortune would smile on the
next turn. Another dime followed
on the trail of the others, without
decrease in h's stock of dolls,
candy or miscellaneous articles.
Mr. Prominent Citizen :noved re
luctantly on.
Others who watched became sus
picious. Consequently a complaint
was registered with the city au
thorities. Mayor C. A. Beers, accompanied
by Chief of Police George Heed
i SWOoped down upon the enthuhias-
tic rou!ette men. An order from
the officer effectively Ktonnsd nrx
ceedings in three booths. Despite
immediate and strenuous protests
of the carnival authorities the or
der prohibiting play was not re
scinded by Mayor Beers.
"Legitimate devices for pleasure
and amusement will be permitted,"
declared the city's executive. "I do
not intend to permit the swindling
of Aledo people, however, and will
employ all means at my disposal
in preventing fraud and humbug.
Shady and questionable schemes
or devices or those Jn which the
element of fair play has been elim
inated will not be countenanced."

CATTLE SAVED FROM DltOrGHT
Assistance to stockmen of the
drought-stricken northwest by the
I'nitrd States department of agri
culture, the state agricultural col
lege, and state departments of ag
riculture have been effective in re
lieving the situation and in facili
tating the transfer to new pas
tures and the marketing of much
endangered stock. Temporary of
fices have been opened in South
Omnha, South St. Paul, Fillings,
Mont., Kansas City and Chicago,
where as accurate information as
possible is assembled on market
conditions, the movement of stocker
and feeder cattle, feeder lambs and
brced'ng ewes, and available feed
supplies. Information concerning
the run of stock to market is dis
tributed among farmers in the corn
belt, and that concerning feed sup
plies among stockmen in the
droughty area.
