The Market Letter.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. co.
SIumpy beef markets last week were
reflected in reduced values Of cattle,
losses ranging from Is to 40 cents, ex-
cept on yearlings, which held steady.
Stock cattle and feeders also took the
loss, except the best kinds Of stock
cattle, which are holding about steady.
Receipts to-day are $4,000 head, and
more than the usual percentage OF
stock cattle and feeders are included.
Purchases for the country here last
week were 5000 head, out OF $1,000
received. Beef imporaiions since the
tariff was removed have been conSid-
erable, but not sufficient to warrant
much OF break in killing cattle, total
arrivals at all sea board points last week
being equal 10 about 1900 cattle, in
reality a very small influence. The
market is 10 higher to-day on finished
cattle, particularly yearlings, which sold
up TO $9.05, heavy steers stopping at
S8.75, as nothing strictly prime was
included. Conditions here have not
been as bad as those reported from
Chicago, where it was claimed to be
harder to move heavy steers last week
than at the worst time in the spring Of
1911. Quarantine arrivals here con-
tain a good deal of common stuff,
steers at IS. so to $3.50, COWS at 81 IS
to $3.50, including a good many from
Arkansas and Louisiana, and a few
good cattle. Some Of the Johnson
yearlings, from Chickasha, sold ia the
southern division to-day at S8. 50, 9o5
pounds average, same as they brought
here last Thursday. Colorado beef
steers sell at $3.50 10 $7.35, odd head
up to So 90, stock steers and feeders
Sc SO to $7.25, COWS $3.50 10 $3.50,
panhandle yearlings $3.50 to SITS,
stock calves $3.50 to s8.25. veals up
to s8.75, calves having dropped down
so cents TO dollar last week. Hogs
declined enough last week to reach
the lowest spot touched in several
months, s825 Saturday for tops. Re-
ceipts are running about Ike year
ago, but weights are lighter, 1856
pounds average last week, l95 pounds
a year ago. The market is steady
to day, run 1000 head, top S8.2s,
bulk $3.50 to 1915. Receipts Of
sheep and lambs last week were rs, 900
head, and the market was about steady
all week, on a much lower level than
heretofore. Run to day is 81 900 head,
market uneven, but about steady on
an average, range lambs largely at
S6.40 to $500, prime lambs worth
s6.7S, natives at same figures when
quality justifes, fat ewes at $3.50 to
to 81 20, feeding lambs IS. 90 to S6.1s.

speakers have been furnished for 4O5
meetings, addressing total OF 1000
persons; two good roads trains have
been concluded; $4,000 bulletins.
tracts, or other publications have been
distributed; and every county and
township board In the state has re-
ceived an offer OF assistance In its
local problems.
I'VE are spending more money than
ever before on our highways, and
while there is a great waste due to
mismanagement and lack Of proper
supervision, we are getting a marked
Improvement in our roads.
During the past year the townships
spent for road and culvert work &c..
2O4,5S5, There was also spent In 3O3
counties $591,11 for county roads and
in 90 counties s401,5 SIG for bridges. In
these 20 counties It was found that
this year the bridge expenditures in
creased 35.7 per cent. over the aver.
age for the past three years. In the
remaining SO counties, II an increase
Of ten per cent in expenditures is
assumed the amount spent on county
bridges would be about S77S,424. The
total amount Of funds spent on the
highway In 1912 was about s4.975,696.
There will be approximately $3.50, 900
OF highway funds available for 1918.
"a review of the year gives decld.
ed optimistic outlook for future prog.
ress. Good Roads has become a
household topic in Kansas. No other
subject is receiving the attention or
consideration as does that Of better
highways. More progress has been
made than in any previous year.
Probably more has been accomplished
during the past two years than in the
previous so years Kansas has been a
state. What we most need before this
association assemblies next year is a
completely new bridge law; a few
changes in the present road law, or a
revision that will give a more busi-
nesslike system Of administration; a
state highway department that can
give more assistance; provisions for
state aid; and an automobile tax for
road purposes"

Will Stone Get Il?


Senator Stones lrankness and his
loyalty to friends make him strong in
politics despite characteristics that
make him weak in popular favor. A
man may be weak as far as a large
class Of voters are concerned and yet
win at the polls il he has the conf
dence and support Of men who know
how to obtain votes for their favorite.
There is no doubt that Senator Stone
has the support Of large number OF
active and effective Democrats through
out the State who prefer him for per
sonal reasons if not for political con-
sideration.
But the strongest factor in his be-
half in his campaign for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Senator will
be his control Of federal patron
age within the State. Before his pres
ent term ends in the Senate practic
ally all Of the post.office and higher
appointments will be made and it is
doubtful whether a single important
appointment will be made without his
consent. He has an agreement with
Senator Reed that will make him more
potent over appointments than any
other Democrat at Washington. Men
who know the political game are not
likely to discard the man who has a
hand full Of winning cards.
However much some worthy and re
sourceiul Democrats OF the state may
desire that some other leader be given
the party nomination for Senator it is
more than likely that Stone will get it.
He is the kid, in all probability the
Republicans must defeat at the Nov
ember election next year il Missouri is
TO be represented in the Senate after
March 4, 1915 by a Republican.
There are leaders in the Democratic
party who would be stronger as party
nominee for Senator but it will be hard
for any Of them to take the nomination
from William Joel Stone.
When some OF the men made famous
through the iavors OF the republican
party and who are now talking about
its dissolution are themselves dead and
forgotten the glorious old party will
still be winning new victories and
achieving great things for our country
and for the world. Ingratitude toward
a political organization on the part Of
a man who has been made strong and
prominent by it is species Of mean
ness the devil himself would not ac-
knowledge in decent company.

Arkansas Is Not Poor,
But Abounds In Wealth
Manufacturers Record Takes Issue
Against Statement That Arkan.
sas il ''POOr State"

The Manufacturers Record. in it's
latest addition. gives much space to a
discussion of Arkansas. This discus
sion was aroused over a letter which
the journal received from an Arkan-
sas subscriber. The Graphic prints
the entire story, which is as follows:
"In sending check for renewal of
subscription, w. w. Harris of Walnut
Ridge, Ark. writes: Il am glad to see
by late numbers that you as we'll as
others are waking up to the fact that
poor old Arkansas is a real country
"Mr. Harris is mistaken in two
things. The Manufacturers Record has
long appreciated the great resources
of Arkansas. What it has said recently
about that country is not due to any
new awakening. We have only been
seeking to emphasize what we have
long felt to be true as to the great
potentialities of that richly-endowed
State. But the real mistake which Mr..
Harris makes is in referring to his
State as poor old Arkansas Mr.. Har-
ris knows that Arkansas is not poor.
He knows that it is rich in minerals
and timber and soil and climate. He
knows that it has a vast wealth of
possibilities. as we'll as vast wealth
of developed realities. And yet he re-
fers to his State in the language so
often adopted by others in calling it
poor old Arkansas
I'VE fully understand that his ex-
preston was merely the adoption for
a purpose of the language of others,
and that he must be among the men
who realize that Arkansas is indeed a
real country and not poor old Ark
ansas.' Let Mr.. Harris get the people
of Arkansas to forever Danish from.
their thought the idea that this state
is poor-poor in men, in money or in
resources. Let them think largely; let
them broaden their horizon and see
that Arkansas is indeed state of
wealth and is abundantly blessed by
nature with a marvellous combination
of advantages Let them talk it up and
write it up. Let them proclaim it in
every school and from every platform,
and then, indeed, any people in that
State who have fingered in the rear
will be stirred by the music of prog
ress and join the army Of those who
are seeking to make Arkansas what
nature intended it should be-"

DRUGGIST GIVES
MONEY BACK
D0dsVM's Liver Tone Gets a Four
Square Guarantee form Rrasher's
Drug Store.

When an article is sold by druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee. it's Il mighty strong proof
of real merit
That's exactly the case with Dod-
son Liver Tone. 1T is a pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver. since Dodson' S
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to nc satisfactory-Calo
mel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous. and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
out of days work and maybe send
you to bed.
Brashe-s Drug Company sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantees it.
For you aad for your children, it's a
good thing to keep bottle always in
the house.
Brashers Drug Company will give
you your money back if You think
Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth the
price. Keep your liver working and
your liver will not keep you from
working is good awvice to go by:
