CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS, Prices on Wheat Weaken on News from Argentina, Chicago, Nov. 4 —After being alternately depressed and ratllied today by varying news in regard to crop conditions in Ar- gentina, the wheat market finally under- went a setback, due largely to a falling off In export sales and to continued ar- rivals of Canadian wheat In Minneapolls, Prices closed weak, %e to Z%e net lower, with December at $1.82% to $1.82% ana May $1.84 to $1.84%. Corn lost %c to %e, and oats %c to %c. Provistons finished {rregular, ranging from Gc decline to a rise of 1bc. At the start the chief Influence was yesterday's closing quotations at . Buenos Ayres, which showed a fall of Tc fn wheat. Consequent depression in values here, how- ever was temporarily offset by reports later that the weather in Argentina had turned hot, and exporters were again bidding .| treely. On the ensuing bulge, though, Chi- cago bulls turned sellers, and put the market on the down-grade tiil the close. Export wheat sales for the ‘day in the United States amounted to only 200,000 bushels, and seaboard clearances were hardly more than half as lirge as a year ago. Minneapolls was reported as getting about twenfy-flve cars of Canadian wheat a day, Corn eased off with wheat. Active BEuro- pean aemand tended to check declines and there was considerable talk of a prospect that British millers would utilize corn for mixing Into flour, Oats paralleled the bearish action of other cereals. Scarcity of offerings caused provisions to tighten up after an early decline, The Initlal weak- ness was In sympathy with lower quota- tions on hogs.

HERE IT IS “On and after May first, 1917, the manu- facture, the sale, the keeping for sale or barter, the sale or barter under any pretext of malt, spirituous, vinous or other intoxicating liquors, are FOREVER prohibited in this state, except for medicinal, scientific, or mechanical, or sac- ramental purposes.” IT’S A FRAUD-It isn’t a REAL Prohibition measure. -It doesn’t attempt to prohibit the USE of liquors or beer- —the men who framed it, themselves say that IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO. If this “joker” Prohibition Amendment Carries-- YOU MAY DRINK ALL YOU WANT but you must BUY from a dealer or manufacturer OUTSIDE OF ' NEBRASKA. ; Our NEBRASKA manufacturers and dealers must QUIT BUSINESS, and all the THOUSANDS of us EMPLOYEES IR of these business establishments and . THQUSANDS MORE dependent upon : us, will be without a means of livelihood. WHERE IS THE SENSE OR LOGIC IN SUCH A SCHEME? If they wanted REAL PROHIBITION why didn’t they submit to you a REAL PROHIBITION AMEND- MENT? DON'T be imposed upon by a “JOKER.” DON'T DISCRIMINATE against NEBRASKA WORKING PEOPLE AND NEBRASKA BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS. . DON’T VOTE US OUT OF WORK! Vote No” on the Prohihition Amendment. : YES 300D Shall the above and foregoing — | amendment to the Constitution be adopted. 301[x] ? Mark your X in square 301. . Employee’s Defense Association The membership of this Association is composed of EMPLOYEES of NEBRASKA manufacturers and distributors of beer and liquors. We are associated together for the purpose of DEFEATING the PRO- HIBITION AMENDMENT and thereby protecting the interests and livelihood of ourselves and those dependent upon us.
