European War.

Sioux City, Dec. 1S.-Even the
music of the birds is coming higher
since the war. The canary is the lat
est to be affected. Prices on the lit
tie yellow songsters have advanced
so per cent.
Last year HartZ mountain canaries
sold for $3.50 each. This year the
price has advanced TO SO, and only
the competition from department
stores, who sell the birds as a lead
err" prevents the price from going at
least so cents higher, according to
proprietors of bird stores.
The bird breeders of the Hartz
mountains of Germany, where all the
best birds are raised. are all in the
war. The women are raising all the
birds grown, but so many of them
have deserted their homes to go to
the front as nurses and to help gath
er the grain crops of the lowlands,
that few c~anaries arc being reared.
hardly any of the st. Andreasberg
rollers are being trained. These
hirds, supposed to be the most beau
tiful of canary singers, are trained
for six months BY 4 water organ"
Initiating the organ, they are taught
the beautiful trill and s~oftness for
which their voices are noted. 1t re-
quires a skilled operator of the organ
tc train the bird. All the trainers
are men and they have gone TO the
front.

GRAIN RATES
Discussed at Annual Convention OF
Farmers at Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, Dec. 1S.-The annual
convention of the Farmers Coopera-
tive association of South Dakota ad-
journed yesterday after a three-days'
session at Aberdeen. The attendance
was about $50, and the numerous adj
dresses on different phases of cooper
alive work attracted much attention.
Herman w. Danforth of Washington,
H., president of a similar organiZa-
tion in Illinois and president of the
National Council of Farmers Coop
~erative associations, delivered an adj
dress that attracted much attention,
on What the Railroads Are Trying
to Do, and What the National Council
Is Doing" He charged the railroads
with trying to advance the grain
rates 2 cents per 100 pounds on all
grain shipped east, and a general
blanket advance. He c~Ontended the
railroads are making money at the
present rates and are not entitled to
the increase, and stated that despite
increased cost of maintenance, and
heavy expense due to flood damages,
the earnings per mile Of road were
1890 per cent greater in 1913 than
in 1890, and that there had been a
gradual increase in earnings each
| year since 1890. He also charged
that in 1913 the net earnings of the
roads were 1887 per cent greater
| per mile than in 1890. He claimed
that the proposed increase, if allow
ed, would take 100000, 600 annu-
ally from the farmers of the grain
growing sections of the country.

Yankton College Hopes to Obtain
sum of $500, 900.

Yankton, Dec. lS.-With but two
short weeks in which to complete its
task, the alumni and friends of Iank-
ton college are awaiting with great
hope and anxiety the outcome of the
conducting for its quarter million en-
downment. BY the terms of its
agreement with Mr.. Hill the college
must have in cash and pledges on
January /, 1915, the sum of $780,
900 in order to claim his gift OF $780,
coo more. Few people realize the
difficulties involved in securing such
an amount where there are very few
really large givers. With upwards of
a thousand individual givers. the av-
erage amount of each gift is not far
from 500. If the college is to sue
coed In its appointed task within the
time fixed some unusually generous
gifts must be forthcoming as a part
of the $4,000 yet to be rasied.
The completion of such a fund will
more than double the annual income
of the college from its invested funds,
This income from investments, added
TO tuition fees on the basis of the
pTtStHt SuIOilHieut, VIII pAoNluc iol
the annual budget OF salary and ex-
penses. The successful administra-
ton of the college or any other basis
is extremely difficult, If not impos-
sible. The constant struggle with fl
nancial problems necessarily dissi-
pates energies which might better be
applied to purely educational and adj
illustrative affairs.
Friends of the college everywhere
will therefore most d~evoutly wish for
the success of this important move
ment on the part of the institution.
Numerous messages OF good cheer,
generous responses to the appeals of
the college and unsolicited gifts,
some OF them truly sacrifcial. all in
dictate sympathy and interest in the
work of the campaign.

Valued at $4,000 Killed on an Iowa
Farm.

Iowa City, Ia, Dec. 1S.-One hun
dred prize Hereford cattle and thirty
five head of hogs. owned by A. p.
Matthews, a farmer residing just be-
yond the Johnson county line south
of Upton. are dead from slaughter
as the result of the edict of the gov
eminent and state authorities. They
are the latest herd in Iowa to be con-
demned for presence of the hoof and
mouth disease in Iowa and their loss
will total more than $4,000. Mat
thews, however, will probably receive
$4,000 for the slaughtered stock,
the prcie being set at the market
value when they were killed. The
cattle were valued at a much higher
figure than this. as all of the 100
head were thoroughbred Herefords
which were nearly ready for the Chi
cago show.
The foot and mouth disease was
discovered on the Matthews farm a
week ago Friday The place has been
under quarantine eve since and re-
mains under strict quarantine now.
The diseased animals were driven
into a trench and n by one shot.
The slaughter commenced at 8
o'clock in the morning and lasted I'M

Milwaukee Journal: Is there my
thing happier at Christmas time than
the air of mystery that pervades the
house? Mother is having no end of
conferences with father on which the
children must not intrude. Father
comes home with his overcoat bulg-
ing in odd places, and seems to have
lost half his fondness for the well
come his children run to bestow. He
even lodges in the back door some
times, as If he had something to be
ashamed of.
And little daughter Is trying very
hard to keep something from mother.
She sits up late at night, and strange
ly enough father pleads for permits
sion for her to do it, and even sug-
gests now and then hat somebody
else do the chores for her. And
mother, who is blessedly obtuse
sometimes, never guesses. no. v
could guess, that little daughter is
working her prentice fingers hard to
make something for mothers Christ
mas.
She's spending her playtime and
all the minutes she can find to work
her love into a present for mother.
and mother will be so grateful and
pleased hat not until she Is a mother
herself will little daughter ever sus-
pect that there were funny kinds OF
kinks in the embroidery and all sorts
of Uneven stitches. For mother is
way up on the spirit OF Christmas,
and the things that mean time and
work and love are presents to her

After a statement by Mrs. Mar
garet B. Plat concerning the merits
of a bill known as the Falconer
Alaska Prohibition bill, a resolution
endorsing 1t was adopted. 1t was
stated by Mrs. Platt that there are
SIS. 1000 people in Alaska. one-half of
them wards of the United States, ma
tives and Indians, whom the United
States is bound to protect, and it
costs thousands of dollars to keep
liquor from these people. The Unit
ed States is spending s35.000.00 in
the development of Alaska and as
thousands of young men will be go
ing in, ought not this country to be
made dry before any money Is spent
there for distilleries and b~reweries,'
urged Mrs. Plat. There is a fine
opportunity OF getting this bill
through If it receives the united sup
port of the people. 1t is hoped that

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Dec. 1S.-There were
about 1000 head of cattle scheduled
to arrive today, as against 1888 a i
week ago and 964 the corresponding
day a year ago.
The best that could be said of the
trade in fat cattle was hat it was not
a great deal worse than on yesterday.
Demand was not very broad and it
was only because of industrious ped
ding hat a clearance was made. Re-
ceipts at all points this week have
been excessive and prices have drop
ped with sickening r%apidity. Steers
have Jared best, because only a mod
crate portion of the supplies were in
this class, while it has been next TO
impossible to keep track of the break
on butcher stock, most sales being
quoted so 75c, with instances as
much as 81 lower, than at the close
of last week. Bulls. stays and veals
have weakened in sympathy with the
lower trend to other grades of killers.
There was a fair demand for stock
and feeding cattle this morning and
prices remained about steady. De
cided unevenness has featured in the
weeks trade. Monday there was a
sharp advance, due TO the lifting of
the quarantine restrictions, but since
that time the drift to prices have
been lower, traceable to the slumpy
feeling in fat cattle and to the in
crease in receipts and current prices
are about a quarter lower than on
the opening session.
Increased receipts checked the up
ward trend to prices and there was a
slight reaction this morning, most
sales being quoted about a nickel
lower. Tops went at $7.05 while the
bulk of sales ranged from $3.50
700.
