HOGS-Receipts of hogs as usual on a
Monday were very small, only fourty-seven
cars being reported in, Under the influence
OF liberal receipts and lower prices at
other points the market here was generally

OF the decline today, the market Is still
about 20c higher than Il was at the begin
rang Of last week. As will be noted from

The Fable of Two Hens.

In certain barnyard there were two
hens, one of which when she laid an
egg oAckled, because she knew when she
had good thing aud wanted others to
know it-that hen believed in advertis

her enterprise supplied.
When the other hen laid eggs she dis
dained to cacklp. "What's the USE, I"
said sh., "Everybody knows lay eggs"
And she cackled not.
Ons day the owner of the hens by &C.
cid0nt discovered the nest OF the nois-
less one aud it was full with eggs, but
they we're too Old for use. Aud immed-
lately he cut OF the head OF the Len

JOPLIN GAME WAS
HARD, FAST CONTEST.
Jasper Took Flying Start and
Held Lead Throughout
Game.

The basket ball game Friday night was
the best exhibition Of the kind this
year on the home court. The joplin
team, which furnished the opposition
for our valiant youths, certainly gave
the latter about all the trouble they
were looking for. and only the fact that
the visitors could not get their scoring
machinery going until Jasper had
amassed commanding lead prevented
the contest from assuming most
nerve-wracking aspect Throughout.
When they did get going they played
neck and mock with the home team and
turned what at first promised to be
tame, one.sided affair into genuine
basket ball game. After five minutes
Of play the score stood Jasper IT. Joplin,
2. At the end OF the first half it was
Jasper %, Joplin l6, and at the end Of
the game it was Jasper 43, Joplin 81.
Individually the Joplin team is prob
ably as strong as any in the southwest,
but their team work, while above the
average, is not Of the smooth, deadly
kind. The Burns brothers, at tile for.
ward positions, are an extremely etfec.
tive pair; Confer and Hubbard are both
strong at the guard positions, and
Hall, although clearly outplayed by
Hatfield at center, is always dangerous.
@. Burns destroyed record when be
piled up Fl i've goals against Jasper 10 the
second half. His shooting was simply
marvellous. Strecker was right after
him all tie time, but DO guarding could
have stopped those one. handed ahots.
E. Burns got four over Thomas, but
Charley partly evened up by shooting
the longest goal ever made here. The
ball travelled the entire length of the
court.
For Jasper Tabler shot seven baskets,
Hatfield six, Crawford four, StrecGer
and Thomas one each. In the matter
of field goals Jasper outplayed Joplin,
getting nineteen to their ten, but Hib-
bard's free throwing excelled Crawford IS
who was out OF form. Hatfield's work
against Hall showed that jasper has
easily the best center in the league.
Referee Confer did as clean and tair
a job OF officiating as has been seen here
and the crowd was very badly in the
wrong in bootng at his decisions. The
News feels that it can speak plainly
with homo people and takes this &C.
cassion to state that the roofing at the
past few games has been in very much
the wrong spirit. The Joplin official
and team are clean, sportsmanlike fel.
lows without exception, and neither do.
served nor appreciated treatment
Furthermore Jasper should maintain
her reputation as the fairest crowd in
the southwest to visiting teams. just
now We are most emphatically not 50.

THE KANSAS CITY MARKET
Reported for tn. News by Special
Correspondent.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. l, 1909.
Cattle receipts here last week oera 3D.
00O head, lightest week this year, and
other markets also lightly supplied
The storm came too late in the week to
account for the small run, and the most
PLAUSIBLE explanation seems to be that
there is a general shortage OF cattle on
feed ready for the market. This is
borne out 10y the slim run today at all
points The market last week advanced
10 to ID cents but the gain was granted
under strong protest, aud trade lacked
the vim and vigor that sellers like to see.
Packers claim the price is too high for
heavy consumption. The average price
for beef steors on the markets for JAN
uary was highest in five years, and So
cents per cwt. higher than the average
January prices for the last ten years, fig
ures which seem to bear out the conten-
tion OF the packers. The run here today
is 1000 heid market unevenly higher,
but nothing very choice 10 beef steers
included. Toppy steers have beea sell
ing at $685. to $685., and are higher to-
day than any previous day this year.
Bulk OF steers sell at IS so to Sc 80,
COWS So 90 to S. 90, heifers up to 1916,
bulls 1925 to S. 90 calves $3.50 to $3.50
Country buyers paid up to 800 last
week for heavy feeders, bulk Of feeders
at 81. Is To So 40. stockers at 1915 to
81. %. Prices on country grades were
uneven last week but averaged steady,
and are strong todsy. Stock COWS and
hsifers were 10 tn 90 higher last week,
sales at $3.50 to S4.00.
The hog market made big gains late
last week and the market is to Is
higher today, although closing sales
today were weaker. Receipts have been
running 35 per cent below year ago at
the big markets since the first OF the
year, and although the l.te advance in
prices precipated u campaign OF selling
on the provisions market, which caused
the weakness today, demand for hogs
has been urgent enough to keep the
prices going up. Heavy hogs sold at
S6.4O to 1856 today, which was 10 cents
higher than on Saturday, medium
weights s6 30 to $3.50, lights 1886 to
&c 30, pigs sl75 to $3.50. Average
weight here for January was 202 lbs,
same time year ago ZIG lbs.
Sheep and lambs quit 10 the ruck
last week, after making brilliant start
the first of the week. The run is 9o0C
head today, and the market opened IL
to 20 higher. Buyers orders vera heavy
and some latc purchases today were ex'
lremrly urgent, and at prices % to 4C
cents above closs Of Inst week. Bulk oI
the lambs today brought $3.50 to s7.7o
yeariings IS 90 to $3.50, wethers $500
to $3.50, ewes Sl65, to $40. Feeoips
stock is in demand lat strong price,
'lamts at $500 to 500.
