SPEEDING. MILES.

Can cement sprout? Nerily it can.
And no miracle will be worked in the
sprouting. Ii will merely mark the
operation of an idea. and no known
force In nature is so powerful as an
idea. The Lincoln Highway was born
of an idea. To some it appeared a
grotesGue idea. To think that some
day. in the present generation. a
smooth permanent highway would
reach from New York to San Fran
cisco seemed laughable. Now that the
idea has really incubated, that the
feds ing is stretching its wings, that
the route has been surveyed and
marked for hundreds of miles. in

Sheep.


Sheep and lambs were also dull and
weak today.
Compared with last Friday closing
sales were mainly 26c lower IN the ma
tive division. with some possibly on
sc off. When it came to the range stock
the decline was less severe and that
class finished 1O@15c lower, allowing
for the lower close yesterday Feeders
have held well all week and thin lots
went to the country at steady prices on
most days.
That the west is out OF the wether
business is evident by meager receipts
at market centers and from reports
coming from every section of the range
country. During the liquidation pro-
cess Montana has flooded the market
with sheep each season. but only q
handful is expected from that source
this season. Very recently the market
was flooded with native ewes, but full
load of these is now a novelty, most Of
the native ewes arriving in mixed loads
of lambs. Heavy mutton promises to
become a luxury. Feeding sheep are as
scarce as fat ones. Not enough have
been available to make quotations this
season.

I Chicago. Aug. 22-The hog market
steadied today. receipts being more
moderate and better inquiry among
shipping circles
Curtailed shipping demand has given
packers u chance to get fair supply or
hogs this week, despite the shrinkage
i'll total receipts. Quality was onlv fair,
but the spread between common and
best lots did not widen any. Some ar
rivals were held off the market but
such tactics have not brought profits
to the ones concerned on late days as
conditions are not favorable for any ad-
vance.
Seven thousand more hogs arrived at
eleven markets than We're received
week ago. the total at $1,000 being
exactly the same as a year ago. Chi-
cago alone had 10000 or 7.400 more
than a week ago The first five days
of this week eleven points received
s1s, 900. being $4,000 more than year
ago. Chicago the past five days re-
ceived S1,S0O or 1880 less than week
ago and 1850 less than year ago.
Farmers have fewer hogs on hand
than in normal years and they insist on
getting high prices from shippers or
else refuse to sell. The competition
among country buyers often causes
them to buy at prices that make their
shipping margin exceedingly small and
should the market decline between
their purchase and arrival at the mar
ket they suffer loss.

Cattle.


Cattle trade was slow and the mar
ket weak at the week end.
The eastern beef trade is not in good
shape, high cost there as we'll as locally
being an influence in cutting demands.
while the federal investigation is having
it's effect in soaring out the consumer
even tho the logic Of the situation
plainly shows shortage Of beef to be the
genuine and only cause for the current
price situation rather than the Euro
pean war or an attempt Of wholesalers
and retailers to gouge the consumer.
Yeariings have been hit harder than
anything showing 100000 declines, and
even more In spots. Thursdays trade
in yearlings was on bargain counter
basis $500 taking the 1915 kind recent

BELGIANS DO NOT PAY
IMPORT DUTY TO GERMANY

No import duty on American
supplies for the BelgianS is to be
imposed by Germany according
to the agreement reported to the
Kansas relief committee by the
American commission in London.
Moreover, no credit is given the
report received Saturday night to
the effect that such duty was be-
ing collected. A telegram re-
ceived by w. R. StubbS, state
chairman in the Belgian work,
from Lindon w. Bates of New
York, vice-chairman for the Amer
lean commission, said if an i'm
port duty had been collected or
demanded it was an isolated case
in which a border official had
blundered or, perhaps, had moi
yet received instructions. This
is the message from Chairman
Bates:
"The American commission
does not credit the report about
Germany demanding an import
duty on supplies for the Belgians
1t may have happened in an iso-
lated case where a border off.
clal had not been instructed. Our
understanding with Germany is
clear on this point. We are TAX
ing immediate steps to learn the
truth. We expect the report to
be officially denied in the morn
ing"
The printing of the story from
London by the American news
papers, particularly in Kansas,
had a most depressing effect, and
caused an Immediate cessation of
activity in the interest of suffer-
ing Belgium. The only structures
placed upon the shipping of flour
from this country was that re-
garding what might be marked
on the sacks or packages. No
greetings were to be allowed and
no notices, and no reference to
any official of beIligerent pow
er would be permitted. The usu-
al sacks with ordinary Kansas
tags, it was said, would be insist

22O SPRING LAMBS
NETTED 81 EACH.
A. L. StOckweII, of Larned, Top
ped Kansas City Market Last
Monday.

A. L. Stockwell is one Pawnee
county farmer the writer intends
to watch and pattern after if we
ever have the good luck to get
hold of a farm with which to rea-
lie our fondest dreams of a life
of ease and affluence.
Mr.. Stockwell shipped a carload
22O head, of spring lambs to the
Kansas City market last week, and
with them topped the market last
Friday. And before he left the
metropolis on the Kaw he pur-
chased 1000 feeders, the last of
which arrived in Larned the mid
die of this week.
The 900 head marketed netted
Mr.. Stockwell 81 per head. They
were all raised on his place just
west of Larned, and grew up and
were put in condition. for mar
ket weeds and sweet clover
Get that weeds and sweet clover
This is not the first profitable
shipment of lambs and sheep Mr.
StOckwell has made. Nor will il
be the last. He will repeat the
process with the feeders just ship
ped in. Possibly not so profita,
bly,, but with a handsome margin
to the good.
What he has and is doing with
sheep, any farmer in Pawnee coun
ty can do, he says. The sheep
need care and attention at times,
but not much more than other
stock should receive.
Il would not advise anyone in
experienced in sheep handling to
90 into them heavy" he says, "but
any farmer in the county can han
die four or five hundred head
with reasonable certainty of a
thousand dollars or better profit
at the end of the year."
But Mr.. StockwellS success
with sheep is not just a happen-So
and is not to be duplicated unless
the one who tries knows his bust
ness. The business of feeding
sheep is quite different from the
old-time sheep herding in the ear
ly days which ended diSaStrously
for the owner so often and with
such regularity that sheep and
the sheep business have ever since
been looked on as precariouS
and uncertain animal and buSi-
ness.
Mr.. StOckwell is an expert in
modern methods of handling and
feeding sheep. He himself does
not think so, but that others do is
shown by the fact that when w.
NJ. Leach, Kansas City commits
sion man, came out to visit Mr..
StOckwell last Saturday, he broug
Stockwell last Saturday, he
brought with him Frank Woods,
of Great Bend, who is feeding
5000 baa-baaS at the present time
and is one of the biggest sheep
men of this part of the state. Mr..
Woods came here at Mr.. Leach'S
solicitation especially to inspect
the Stockwell feeding plant and
to get acquainted with the Larned
StOckman'S methods. Which in
dicateS that Mr.. StockwelrS sue
cess is attracting more than local
attention; and gives those who
still hesitate to take on a few
sheep the excuse that they, too,
might succeed at it if they knew
the business like Stockwell does.

shouts Of protest came from all sides
of the house and a riot seemed i'm
minent.
"Thus we had the president of a
concern that has business relations
with a powerful traction company

house of representatives when theN

should go on. The next. step is to
GUST these political buzzards from the

Thomas Dawson and Walter Lantz,
lawyers for the traction companies,
and John NJ. Glenn, president of the
Illinois Manufacturers Assn, are
named as having special privileges on
the floor and in the committee
rooms.
They had full access to the floor
of the house and even the. speakers
room, while the representatives of
labor were forced to sit in the gallery.
Our committee held many confer
ences with Gov. Dunno. He was deep
ly interested in the success of our
bill and tried to get US a square deal
on it. He made frequent requests of
Mckinley to let the bill out for vote,
but the speaker was needless. The
blame for the, outrage rests chiefly
with Mckinley, whose disregard of
promises, violation of pledges and
prostitution of power must discredit
him with honorable and right-think-
ing people"
The report is a long one and fol-
lows the bill through all the tunnels
of committee rooms and the tricks by
which it was held back, shifted,
amended, crippled, killed.
