MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Novem-
Der 25, 1913. Cattle receipts dropped
to 5000 head today, which proved
helpful to prices, and killing grades
sold strong to 10 higher Stock cattle
and feeders remain dull, and dealers
say they are apt to go some lower be-
fore the end of the year, though the
price ought to advance immediately
thereafter. Complaints of tight
money are frequent, and the slumpy
market on country grades is attribu-
ted largely to that cause No prime
cattle were here today, the best stop
ping at $500, the bulk of native
steers are quotable at 81. 20 to 81. .25,
and toppy ones around $3.50. Gamers
are the one most salable articles on
the list, and killers take as many as
they can get. Slack country demand
is putting few thin steers into their
hands, and some Old Mexicos have
helped out orders for canning
material this week, IL loads here
yesterday, 761 lbs average, at s.. So
A train of 19 cars of Old Mexicos is
expected for tomorrow's market.
These cattle have all been grazed a
few weeks in Texas. A better line of
quarantine cattle was offered today
than heretofore, meal fed steers
selling at 1866 to s7.4O, but receipts
in that division are running light, Is
cars there today. Butcher grades
have held up better than steers,
and also caught the advance today,
best native cows ranging from 1915

to s6.S5, bulls $3.50 to $3.50. Range
cattle are in much smaller supply
this week, and are confined to few
trains of Northwest Texas stuff,
practically no Colorados here.
Hogs continue to come literally,
10000 here today, market 10 to 20
lower, the most decisive decline
registered recently. Top hogs here
sold at s7.75, same as top in Chicago
today. and bulk at s735 to s765, the
latter figure the best price paid by
packers today. Hogs are running
very healthy, but average weights
are lightest of the year, 176 pounds
average last week, receipts thus
furnishing plenty of hogs suitable
for making bacon. Demand for light
weighs is large, and heavier weighs
lead only by margin of 5 to 10 cents.
Sheep and lambs are higher this
week, including good advance today,
best lambs at $50 today, others
down to 800, feeding lambs $500 TO
s6.25, fat yearlings s5.25 to $500,
wethers 81. so to $500, ewes 400 to
$3.50. Receipts today 5000.

are perhaps as follows:

are perhaps as follows:
The children of Nebraska do not
have to go more than two miles to
school while many of us here go
from four to six miles every day
The School Boards of Nebraska take
greater interest in the schools than
our school boards do here There
all the children know every member
of the board for they visit school
every month and compel troublesome
and lazy pupils to behave and to work,
they keep not only the school house
clean and neat but also the other
buildings on the grounds and plant
trees, shrubs and flowers so the
children would enjoy coming there.
The schools all have nice big libra
ries and the children can take good
books home to read whenever they
wish to do SO. These are but a few
of the many good things found in the
Nebraska schools. I believe it is
time for the Topeka Conventions of
teachers to get some of these things
for the Kansas pupils and the Kansas
schools.

Harve Roach was taken acutely ill

Harye Roach was taken acutely ill
the latter part of last week with
what was supposed to be an attack of
appendicitis, following milder at
tack earlier in the week. Saturday
night he was taken to Topeka, DR..
Countryman accompanying him, but
after several applications of the X
rays the physicians were unable to tell
what the trouble was and he returned
home Monday night without having
an operation performed as had been
the intention, resolving to await de-
yelopments. He has remained about
the same since returning, part of the
time resting comparatively easy and
at other times worse, and his condi-
tioa is matter of considerable con-
Germ, especially as it seems to defy =
positive diagnosis. Utica Enterprise.

We are all very careless about the
way we write names, more especially
the names of other people. Frequent
ly a mans name gets into the public
records in two or three forms and
spelled in as many different ways,
and this makes it appear to the legal
eye to be the names of that many
different persons. This often happens
in the case of man who is dead or
whose whereabouts are unknown and
every abStracter of titles knows how
difficult it is sometimes to find per-
son who can make affidavit that the
-. -
same man.
For instance, take the imaginery
name, J. J. Smiley It may be that
the completed name is John Jacob
Smiley, or Joseph James Smiley.
Aside from the misleading initial
letters there may be authorizations
equally confusing and uncertain.
The abbreviatiationS, Jno., JOS, and
Jas, often look much alike in writing,
and anyone can see that SMILEY"
or four ways. And again it some
times happens that a nickname,
wholly unlike the real name, gets
into public records or documents and
makes trouble. Only recently 1 dis
covered that ''Aleck" was not Alex
ander, but Alfred.
Another case by way of illustration:
A request was recently made for a
certified copy of the certificate of
naturalization which was issued to
Henry Schwerdtfeger" in the state
of Illinois about forty years ago. The
clerk of the court who was asked to
make the copy could find no such
name on his records but the record of
the county clerk showed that such
certificate was issued to ''William
Schwartfeger" about the time indi-
Gated and that Henry Schmid and
Peter Conrad were witnesses. A
little more investigation at this end
of the line brought out the fact that
the complete and correct name of the
new citizen was civilian Frederick
Henry Schwerdtfeger." Take note
of the number of errors: My client
gave me but one of his fathers given
names. The application for the copy
was made to the wrong officer,
The clerk who issued
the original certificate wrote only
the first given name, dropping the
others to save space, perhaps, and
misspelled the family name. 1t also
develops that one of the witnesses is
now dead and the other SO old and
feeble as to be unable to assist in
Strengthening out the tangle.

LET Us BE THANKFUL

For The Education we call life,
which only incidentally enables ,us
TO gain houses and lands and posses
sions of many kinds; but in ways and
by methods planned beyond our wis
dom, if we accept it, leads US step by
step to purity, freedom and power;
For The Defeat OF Ambitions and
plans which, if realized, would wreck
the highest possibilities of our ma
lures:
For The Pressure OF Work and
responsibility which holds us in our
places and steadies us in the allure
lnents of ease and luxury;
For The Pain that follows upon un-
truth and impurity, for the thunder
bolts that strike US when we break
the divine law, for the bitter punish
ments that oyertake and arrest us
when we stray into the paths of dis
honor:
For The Trials which deepen our
affections and enlarge our sympathies;
For Those Deeper Experiences
which, in honor of anguish make us
aware of the greatness of life and it's
immortal significance;
For A Divine Love which seeks,
not our comfort, but our growth;
and spares US no trial if only it can
bring out the best in us;
For The Companienship OF One
who has lived through all our ex-
periences and shows us how to be
liberated and enriched by them.

tendance and interest shown in SUBJ
jects pertaining to school matters.
AS usual an excellent program had
been prepared by the president and as
usual every one on the program was
present and ready to respond. Collyer
had prepared a pleasant surprise for
the teachers by securing the league
Orchestra to furnish several selec-
tions for the. occasion. This was in
deed greatly appreciated by all pres
ent.
In response to roll call many
beautiful gems of thought voicing
the Thanksgiving sentiment of the
season we're given. Miss Nemeyer,
one of the Collyer teachers, gave
model class drill in primary geogra-
ply. Miss Nemeyer'S practical and
interesting way of providing review
drills for the lower grades afforded
teaching this difficult subject.
Teaching classics in the common
schools was discussed by Miss Hois-
ington, the English teacher of our
High School, in her interesting and
inspirati manner. She illustrated
clearly by such examples as "The
Ancient Mariner" and .'The Great
Stone Face how moral lessons were
taught children without preaching
at them. The High school director
of athletics, Mr.. Reppert, gave a
helpful talk on the Importance of
athletics in the country school,
Several of the young ladies, since
hearing his talk, have formed resolu-
tions to do less fancy work during
the school week and devote more
time to the study of games, baseball
rules, etc.
The question box aroused much
interest in the tardy mark phase of
school life. 1t was discovered that
case over the county and while a
child in one school was marked tardv
under the same conditions in another
school his attendance would be per-
feet. Next meeting a remedy for
this will be submitted.
As the association had no treasurer,
Miss Cass was appointed to act in
that capacity and collect enrolment
fee of so cents per teacher. The next
meeting is to be held December 2Oth.
