WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 10.
The beef market took a turn for
the better last week and all kinds
OF cattle sold shade higher. There
was no marked advance but the feel
ing was more settled and buyers ac-
tons denoted a broader beef outlook.
Increased imports from Argentine
were reported with the first direct
ship load consignments, but as the
stun belonged to the packers Of this
country, II was handled in such a
manner as not to iniure the beef
market any more than necessary.
Receipts today are extra heavy at the
most Of the markets, and part Of the
gain noted last week has been dis
sipabed. The market Is steady to Is
lower, plain middle grade killing
steers receiving least support. Some
fancy mixed yearlings sold at 1926,
straight yearling steers at 800 and
heavy steers at S.75. Steers selling
at 7J50 to S.25 move slowest today.
Cows and heifers are largely steady,
and this class Of cattle have been
the best sellers for two weeks OF
more. Good choice COWS bring 6.25
to 100, and veal calves reached up
to n.OO again today, same as last
week. Forty-three cars of quarantine
cattle came in today, made up large
ly Of two to four car shipments OF
meal fed steers of middle class, sell
ing at 600 to SIS. Stockers and al
so feeders sold strong last week,
and they are in fair demand today
at prices about like last Monday
Top cattle for the country sell at
'UV 10 LOU; serYlceaDle animals at
6.25 to 6.75, which prices are about
a quarter lower than year ago.
Hogs did not change much IN price
last week. Packers had to disclose
the fact that they need material and
closing markets were the strongest
most days. Receipts for the week
We're $4,000 head, and run today Is
10000 head. Chicago has a big run
today with lower prices, and the
market opened 10 lower here but
improved before the close, top $40,
bulk 7.S5 to 1865; pigs $50 to 7.25.

THE TARIFF ACQUITTED.

1t becomes increasingly certain
that the next national political bat
lie will not be fought on the tariff
Is am issue. When the opposition to
TIE democratic national administra--
Sion forms next year-and there will
oe opposition as there always is; the
Seekers for office see to that-it will
form around some other object than
that Of an attack on the tariff. So
Vea is the new tariff working that
even the formerly high protected in
:.uuSries are finding no ground for
complaint, and once criticism ceases
trom that source, the ammunition of
the high tariff advocates is gone.
The department Of commerce has
been gathering statistics since the
new tariff law went into effect and
some facts that are startling to the
opponents of tariff revision have
been unearthed. For one thing, in
stead of American markets being
flooded with foreign goods, imports
:ectually have decreased and exports
actually increased. The law is going
to prove benefit to producer and
consumer alike. The department is
going into details and celebrating a
: survey made by the Literary Digest,
which says:
"A canvass Of the leading trade
and industrial organs reveals a sur
prising absence Of any accusing Choir
Us against the new tariff. Instead,
we find not only a prevailing note
Of optimism as to the future, but a
tendency to lock elsewhere then to

Making Things Look Nice.

81 will not put that pavement
down, ""I'll not sod that front yard, "
"Pll not trim that tree-hecause |
will not get cent more rent for the
house if | do, says the Columbus CO.,
State Journal. That is not stating
the whole case. OF course, man
should have his rent. He can't co
without that. But there is something
incumbent on him, and that is the
civic duty of making his property
presentable and attractive so it will
be an honor to the community.
Owning property is a sort OF public
matter after all. 1t establishes re-
lation between the owner and the
people. He has no right to make
that relation a purely selfish matter
on his part. He should exert him
self somewhat to make it agreeable
to his neighbors. Suppose everyone
in this town would refuse to improve
the appearance of their property a
bit more than they had to-why, in
ten years the town would look desc
late and bankrupt. Never keep up a
ragged appearance, never permit an
eyesore, never refuse to put down a
pavement or improve lawn because
it will not increase the rent. The
truly great man lives to benefit others
and not himself, and yet in benefit
ing others he benefits himself. 1t is
hard to get onto that gospel, but it is
all therc-written in the very consti-
tuition of things.

Lightning Fires and Storms.

Lightning fires and summer storms are
now in season, and to large extent they
are wholly unpreventable. The only pre-
caution that can be taken is to carry am
pie insurance, both fire and storm, on all
buildings and their contents. Nobody
can afford to be careless about this, nor
to take chances. Do not hesitate to Sc
cure reliable insurance, and pay its cost
cheerfully as one of the necessities con-
nected with owning property; otherwise,
you may have cause for regret. The man
who fails to carry insurance is entitled
to very little sympathy, in case he meets
with heavy fire or storm loss.

ALFRED in white linen suit and
with the eyes of a great crowd upon
him, President Wilson stood on the
porch of the White House Tuesday
morning and at $50 O'Clock placed a
message of frliritation to Mayor Car
ter Harrison, of Chicago, in the hay
rrsack of Fred Reed, the first of Il
string of Boy Scout relay runners who
are to bear it to Chicago.
Secretary Lane, Secretary Tumulty
and members of the Presidents fans
lily were grouped on the White House
steps while moving picture machines
recorded the start.
The first few relays were for short
distances in the city, but after the
District line was reached it was plan
ned to have each of the Boy Scouts
run a mile.
The route from Washington runs
to Frederick, to Gettysburg, thence
west to Pittsburg, Cleveland. Toledo,
South Bend to Chicago.
Fifty runners We're used between
Washington and Frederick, and the
message was delivered in Frederick
ahead of schedule time, or at =. II p.
m. James Grove received the mes
sage from the Washington runner.
After a few minutes wait in Fred
rrick, the message was again started
on its journey, twenty-cight boys be-
stationed along the State Road to
carry it to diminishing.
Five automobiles were used to haul
the boys, and were in chargc of Noah
+. Cramer, Chas. Nee. Matthias,
Fred. c. Cramer, A. +. Fisher and
Charles 7. X. Young.
One of the relay stations was made
at the public square in Thurmont.
The lad who delivered the message
here at I 80 O'Clock was run more
than IA mile and the sweat was run
ming from his forehead. The wealth
er was not warm.
The trip from Frederick to En-
mitsburg was made in three hours
and five minutes.
Eleven boys were used on the road
from Emmitsburg to Gettysburg, one
of them making the record run for
the day.
Two cars are following the Boy
Scouts through tie entire run to Chi
cago, one a Chalmers Six, carrying
the officials of the run; the other a
Staver Four Forty, with two repre-
sentatives of the Chicago Daily News.
President Wilson'S message to the
Mayor of Chicago is one of encour-
age for clean athletics, praising stad-
ium sports as an agency for better
manhood. When Mayor Harrison
receives the message it will be the
signal for the opening of the big Pre-
Olympic Athletic meet in Chicago.
