The captain protested and offered to
drop il into the sea, but the officials
were ohdurate. They seized the ship
and demanded payment. The captain
declined to ease the tension by the
customary bride and complained to the
British foreign office.

captain was warned 70 be very careful
about contraband. and for several voy-
ages nothing occurred Several months
later some slight inaccuracy In the

PISTOL FOR ARMY
ADOPTS
COLT AUTOMATIC

After years Of searching investigation
and rigidly imposed tests. the Wal De-
partment has settled the question Of au-
tomato pistol superiority by adopting
as the army standard the calibre .45
featured by the Colts Patent Fire Arms
Manufacturing Company of Hartford.
Conn.
During these trial, automatic pistols,
Of the worlds best makes have one by
one proved unequal 20 the trying ordcals
and cxacting requirements Of the ord
nance experts until at the final crucial
test only the Colt and one other prom
incnt American make remained.
At the last test over 5000 consecutive
shots we're fred from the Colt for en-
durancc and the arm remained in per-
feet condition. maintaining its record for
perfect scores and outranking its rom
peti,or in accuracy, rapidity 81 action
and durability: il showed less shock
from %recoil. greater reliability and power.
and as n consequence was the unani-
nous choice Of the Ordnance Board.
(Sec detailed report in Army and Navy
Journal New York. April |, 1919
The government has thus proved to
its own satisfaction. and for the benefit
Of the world. that the Colt automatic
pistol is the superior OF all other makes.
and the merits that carried this par
ticular model through exacting tests that
showed the weaknesses Of other types

MAYORS PROCLAMATION

For the beneficence of an all-wise
Providence, we, as people, have
great reason to be thankful The
season has come again, when, in ac-
cordance with the custom of our
reverend forefathers for many gener-
ations, it is proper that we set aside
day for the purpose of expressing
our gratitude and thanksgiving to
the Giver of all good things for the
manifold blessings that we have re-
ceived from his bountiful hand,
bearing in mind our duty to God, and
to our neighbors less fortunate than
ourselves. Therefore, in conformity
with ancient and honored custom,
and the proclamations issued by the
President of our nation, and the
Governor of this Commonwealth, and
the power vested in me as such, /,
L. S. Myerly, mayor of the city of
Wa-Keeney, Kansas, do most heartily
recommend that on Thursday, No
vember 80, our people cease from
their usual labors so far as possible
and observe Thanksgiving day in the
true spirit and in manner befitting
the occasion

MAYBE TOO LATE

The Topeka State Journal of Mon
day says
Governor Stubbs will not get the
chance to decide the location of the
new state asylum over the choice of
the state board of control after all.
The law creating the new hospital
only gave the governor voice in the
location of the institution in case
site was purchased. The time limit
on the purchase of site ran out on
September 10. After that date the
site had to be condemned, and the
law plainly places that matter solely
in the hands of the board. The
board, by unanimous choice, and
backed by reports and the practical
exigencies of the situation, selected
Larned, Pawnee, for the site. 1t so
reported to the governor last week.
The governor then proceeded to with
hold his endorsement of the site and
gave the other towns until December
5 to present fresh claims, stir up new
towns rows and knock Larned.
But Larned is the place all right,
all right, and the latest manifesto
from the governors office is just poll
tics so the board claims. The Sixth
district people raised a big row when
they saw the prize slipping to the
Seventh and appealed to the COVER
nor. He promised to consider their
claims when it came time. He is
keeping that promise now by trying
to kindle fresh hope on the altars of
the Is other applicants for the place.
He may go to the Supreme Court to
get his position maintained. The
boards report in which Larned is Sc
lected, declares that the governors s
powers in the matter as vested by
law have expired. That after the
time limit of September 10 had
passed the governor was out of it and
the board alone has the right to con-
denim land for site. If the governor
attempts to carry the matter further
he will likely have to get supreme
court decision to help him. The re-
port of the board is plain. 1t says:
sthe only object of the law in having
the governor approve the site was in
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1911-11-25

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City, Nov. 21, 1911-Today's
cattle market is described as slow,
steady to weak. This follows small
decline yesterday, and is disappoint-
ing to some shippers. The run of
1900 head today is not of itself
sufficient cause for lower prices,
without the help of other influences.
Cold weather has permitted a free
movement of poultry and game to
market. This class of meat is cheap
er than usual at the Thanksgiving
holiday, and veal, pork and mutton
are all selling cheaper than they usu-
ally do when prime cattle sell as high
as they are now selling. Naturally
the outlet for fancy cut meats is
narrowed, and killers complain of
difficulty in selling the high priced
beef acquired in recent weeks, and
the edge is off the market on steers.
One lot sold at So here yesterday, and
another at the same price today, with
odd head at $3.50, which is the limit
paid here this week. The eight dol
lar steers today have been fed on feed
six months. Some steers that had
been fed eleven months brought SO. 10
in Chicago yesterday. Bulk of feed
steers sell at So to ST, with low dres-
sers down to S5.35, native cows bring
S3 to 1925, most of the bulls at 3d. 40
to s4, top veals 81, heavy calves 1925.
Some high bred Colorado feeders
brought 1925. Quarantine cattle is
heavy this week, mostly low grade
stuff, including some old Mexicos
around $40, other steers at 1925 to
s4.75, feed steers quotable at $3.50 to
Sc. so.
Hogs continue to increase, as is
natural at this season. Run today is
25, 900 here, market steady to 10 lower
though the top at $3.50 is cents
above the best price paid yesterday
Heavy weights are steady, the ten
lower part of it applying to lights,
which sell at $3.50 to S6.25. Medium
weights bring s6.25 to s6.45Sp pigs 81. .25
to 1926. At this season markets in
the east are well supplied from their
local territory which leaves Chicago
and st. Louis bare of shipping orders
Sheep and lambs are frittering
their substance away from day to
day, weak to lower being stock
phrase in describing the market.
Top lambs today brought 1925,
though prime grades might beat that
Is to 25c. Yearlings bring 81 to "a. so
and wethers around $3.50, ewes 50 25
The season for feeding lambs is most
over, though some are available at
81 to S4.6O. The run is 10000 today.

Although not very prosperous year,
And also for the summer bright
roses,
That blossomed our pathway tC

Give thanks for the loved ones who

To welcome our coming at night,
Whether mansions or cot be oul

To shield us in our slumber's sweet

And if, weary hearted, we struggle
On earth through the battle of life,
Then trust in the Power that leads
US,
In safety through peril and strife.

one and one-half inches high where
it should not have been more than
one inch, this treatment, with the
rigors of winter, destroyed about SO
per cent of the chinch bugs.
Throughout the last summer the
bugs on the unburned area have
ranged from six to twenty times as
numerous as those on the burned
section. Wheat ON the burned sec
tion averaged 2.1 bushels, worth So
moref an acre, and the oats, which
were only slightly infested with
bugs, yielded a little less than one
bushel an acre on the burned than on
the unburned ground.
