makes the total for the week .. 400 head, as
against $500 head last week and "a 100

short time Sales we're closely punched
together, considerable proportion OF the
hogs bringing S75OQ7.6O. Buyers seemed to
pay more attention to quality than to
weight. While strictly good light and
medium weights are preferred to the heavy
hogs, stiH the best heavy hogs sell to better
advantage than inferior or rouEher liEht
and mixed weights. After a considerable
proportion Of the hogs had changed hands
the market eased off and for a time buyers
were talking lower prices. Then Il braced
up again and the remainder Of the early
arrivals sold, but hardly so good as early

Parliamentary
LAW NOT NEEDED
Common Sense, Good Temper and
Good Manners More Essential for
Club Members, Ladies Decide.

II was bit OF humorous irony that
the negative upholders won unan-
imously in the debate. Resolved
That a thorough knowledge OF parlla
mentary law and the ability to put
that knowledge into practice is neces-
sary for every member of an organ
ization." when this weighty question
was debated in an open meeting OF the
Detroit Parliamentary Law club, In
the Y. w. c. A. hall, Wednesday morn
ing
TO think that such a triumph could
have beer possible in a club devoted
to the study or parliamentary law
irately calculated a debater on the
affirmative side.
While those unfolding the negative
side, Mesdames f. G. Burton, Louis
Gascoigne and w. G.. Rankin, did not
maintain that parliamentary law was
not the right thing by which TO gov
ern an organization. they did valiantly
seek 10 down the assertion that every
member OF that organization should
have IL at his or her finger ends
10 the llShb hp W
the moment parliamentary procedure
was the Waterloo OF the proposed In
crease In the teachers salaries" said
Mrs. Burton in her clever appeal. III
common sense, good temper and good
manners, are possessed and exercised,
parliamentary law is apt TO receive a
jolt. Look at congress, our own city
council and school board, all public
bodies governed strictly by paria-
mentary law, and the result Is the
most disgraceful exhibitions of wrang-
ling and even personal violence in the
efforts OF the members 10 maintain
parliamentary law. Except in isolated
instances a full knowledge OF parlia-
mentary law would prove a calamity
to the individual. II is enough for
the officers OF an organization TO know
