Too many fed cattle at all the mar
kets last week injected considerable
weakness into the market on that
kind, particularly steers, and though
stock cattle and feeders held up steady
the week closed off several points
taken as a whole Excessive receipts
of cattle today at all points struck
the market in a defenseless position,
and declines today range from 10 to
25 cents The run here is 1900 and
In Chicago 10000 Heavy liquidation
of short fed steers accounts for much
of the surplus today. and there are
different explanations of why so many
feeders decided to ship now. The
most PLAUSIBLE one is that feeders see
profit, and prefer to take it than
to wait, and take chances. Sick hogs
are hurrying some shipments, and the
usual desire to clean up before Christ
mas is having its influence Bulk of
the fed steers are off half dollar

$500. best quarantine steers today at

largely at $3.50 to $6.75, bulls $3.50 to

classes not showing as much decline
as steers. Country buying last week
was liberal, $4,000 head to that trade,
as compared with 10000 head same
week last year Trade eased off a
little at the end OF the week, and the
flood of fed cattle today shakes the
confidence of country buyers a little,
though they are still paying up to
$3.50 for feeders, and $7.2O for fancy
stock steers. Hogs declined heavily

The CHRISTMAS TREE.

Few customs have such a hold as
that Of distributing Christmas gifts
on real evergreen tree.
Somehow there seems to be no
Christmas spirit without it. Many
poor families feel it so keenly that
even cheap artificial tree of tin foil
foliage does something to Great holi-
day atmosphere.
1t all goes to show that at times
when you drop lifes more sordld am
bltions, nature rather than dollars pro
duces real happiness On Christmas
eve the bronze chandelier. designed
and fashioned by cunning workmen for
hundred dollars seems ike so much
rubbish The little bit of real green
cry from some desolate mountain
side, lighted with candlesthe obso
lete method of illumination used in the
lnconvenient home of our grandmoth-
ers, seems loyelier and more pleasing
to normal unspoiled human nature.
The best things in life are not
bought with cash If you keep the
heart of a child, you are happy be
cause you enjoy simple pleasures with

heart of child the most expensive
luxuries are merely like broken Christ

also showed the effects OF the return
of the saloons. Taxes under the
dry" regime, he said, decreased
$3.50 per thousand. while all records
for construction of permanent i'm
provements,- pavemen and sewers,
were broken while their great reduc-
ton in taxes was being experienced.
The effect on business was also
touched upon by Mr.. Stevens during
the course of his address. He said
one business man of Flint declared
that his receipts for single pay day
at the Buick plant had fallen off $500
with return of the saloon. On one
pay day, in other words, his receipts
were $500 more than on the follow
ing one, after Flint had changed to
the "wet column. Flint has 33 sa-
looms, declared the speaker.
Mr.. Stevens was given generous
applause at the conclusion of his
talk.
The program, up to this time, had
been rendered in the basement of
the church, but because of the in
creasing numbers in the audience,
adjournment was taken to the audi
forum on the first floor. Here H. e.
Rood of Detroit. editor of the Amer
lean Issue, made strong appeal to
the voters to continue their struggle
against the saloons, and took occas-
ion to congratulate them upon the
excellent start in the campaign. He
declared that % counties will vote
on the question this spring. Eigh-
teen are now dry and the other seven
are wet. 1--WE are marching steadily
on toward statewide prohibition" he
said. "Forty-one millions of people
in this country are now living III dry
territory and $4,000 saloons have
been put out of business during the
past five years. In Michigan. 1900
saloon have been abolished and 1S
breweries put out"
He said that instead of employing
speakers, as in the past, the "wets"
have decided upon and are carrying
out a pussy foot campaign"
II. w. Wallace of Perry then gave,
a strong argument in favor of the is
sue. Perry, he says, has had no sa-.
looms for four years, and the result
is, he declares, an apparent increase
in business and the general better,
ment of conditions. Perry village is
in favor of local option, almost ~

Mr. Zuver states that the average

birds in. these five counties clone
more than equals the total number
u prisoners in Michigan's four PEN
st institutions at jackson, Marquette
lonia and Detroit. He also finds that
the time served by these prisoners
was $4,000 days more than durine

The police record of Owosso shows
that from May 1908 to Feb 1910
there were 1913 arrests, while DUR
Ing these two dry years there were
only 81. Under the wet regime from
Jan. 1, 1907 to Jan. 1, 1910 there
were All men in the county Jail.
While from January I, 1910 to Jan.
l, 1912. there were only $40, de-
crease for local option of 1T. Local
option is not a cure for all our Ills,
but it is ten thousand miles ahead of

open to devour our fathers and

being our helper" Nfs ~
At the close of the sermon the
pastor asked for subscription of
$3.50 to help on the local option cam
paisn. and In a few minutes 1881
had been subscribed, which will
probably be increased to $500 when
all have contributed that will help.

loon has made besotted drunkards

afraid they will make the same kind
of wrecks of their neighbors' boys
and of their own boys. Bankers,
lawyers, doctors, business men, in
surance men, railroad companies and
large employers of, labor in ever in
creasing numbers are joining in one
great chorus, heard from the Atlantic
to the Pacific-"There is not one
good thing to be said for the saloon!"
The three stock arguments upon
which the liquor men wrung the
changes two years ago, are repeated
With less assurance now. The argu-
ment for personal liberty was well
answered by one Irishman in answer
to another: Your liberty ends where
my nose commences. They also
said two years ago: "We must have
the license money to apply on our
current expenses" But the statistics
show that the money obtained from
saloon licenses is all needed to pay
the increased cost of arresting, con-
victing and boarding the increased
number Of prisoners, and Of support
ing the increased number of poor un-
der the saloon regime. Where then
is the profit? Then there was the
miserable Misrepresentation that
there is more liquor drunk under To-
cal option prohibition than through
the saloon. Then why in the name
of reason don't the brewers and boot
leggers and blind-piggers get out and
hustle for local option? Have the
brewers and mail order houses sud-
denly become so benevolent that
they are willing to lose a big trade
to keep lot of saloonkeepers in
business? The fact is there Is no.
