Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 5,
1914.-Cattle receipts here last week
were $4,000 head. of which 5000
were re-bought by stockmen. A year
ago same week out of 80. 900 head
received, feeders purchased 10000
head. Prices were a shade stronger
with the tops in both stocker and
feeder classes around 81 80, as com
rared with top of 81. 60 year ago
for feeders and S7.15 for stockers.
There will be bigger supply this
week, receipts today 1900 head.
Prices are steady on most cattle to-
day, stockers and feeders active and
healthy, most sales at $3.50 to 1928
There is a good demand for al
grades of unfinished cattle, stocE
cows and heifers particularly being
in strong request, and 20 to 80 high
er than two weeks ago, most sales al
$3.50 to $3.50. j. B. Grower. Del
ia, Ia, bought a drove of 1000 10
feeders last week, and said while
here, Il have just marketed the las
of my late fall and winter-fed steers
and am back buving more to put In
my feed lots. We are pretty wei
fixed for corn, and none OF 1t is belnt
sold. The steers l fed in the fall
bought in Kansas City in August
and they made me money" Mr.. j
H. Heeley, of Griswold, Ia. reports
that elevator men in his section are
paying So cents for corn. while feed
ers are paying around 60 cents for it
Commission men say that the fact
that corn is little cheaper than g
month ago, and weather continues
ideal for putting on grains, may dis
tribute receipts at the markets more
evenly than if the incentive for Ii
auidating was extreme. in which case
the good healthy rising market OF
fed cattle should continue through
this month. J. A. RICKART.

Origin of Beer.

Beer was brewed and drunk by
the Egyptians, the exact date of its
origin being lost in the remote
ages. But that it was enjoyed in
the fourishing times of Egypt is
settled beyond controversy. So far
as can be learned the materials
from which beer was then made
were substantially the same as to-
day. Beer appeared in Greece sew
eral centuries before the Christian
era and was probably much the
same in character as that brewed by
the Egyptians; the Greeks, in all
likelihood, acquiring knowledge
of its manufacture through COM
merce with that land. They, in
turn, handed it on to the Romans
and by those hardy empire-buildi
ers it was spread broadcast over the
ancient world.

Vestment from the standpoint of econ- overhead charges would be necessary, and tine addition of these men could be effected at a per capita cost to the government of about one-third the per capita cost under existing conditions.
 By the time these 25.000 men could be procurtd the mobile forces in the United States as hereinbefore pointed out. would number 24.602: so that af- ter the addition the mobile army in continental United States would con- sist of 49.6O2 men.
 With the army thus increased. we would then be able to undertake the next necessity which is absolutely inn peratiVe, and that. the preparation of d reserve. The present legislation with respect to a reserve has proven utterly useless for the purpose. it having pro- duced in twenty-four months only six teen men. and there is little or no hope that it will ever properly accomplish it's purpose. The reasons why it will not do so it is not profitable to dis cuss
 T am firmly convinced that if We can use the standing army as a school through which to pass men who come into it, with the knowledge that if they are proficient they can be discharged at any time after a year or IS months, we will begin at once to build up the nee essary reserve, and will, for the first time in the military history of this country. have something approximate ing a balanced organization
 T am therefore firmly convinced that We should have immediate legislation dealing with the matter of enlistment

and reserve. A practically similar
 provision should exist in every state
 which maintains an organized militia.
 1t is just as essential that the organ
 ized militia should have q proper re- serve to fill up it's ranks as it is that
 the regular army should.
 '-I am convinced with equal firmness that We should adopt some one or
 more of the methods which have been
 suggested for the training of more ci- williams to become officers in case of necessity. The pOtentiality of the stu dent military camps and of the schools and colleges at which military training i is obtainabe suggests fruitful source of accomplishing this purpose. T realize that one of the matters which will he much debated in connec- tion with this whole subject will be the matter of expense. l do not overlook this. but I think that those who are charged with responsibility on behalf of the public should realize the great ness of that responsibility: should re- aliZe the unanswerable indictment that will lie against them if they shrink from mourning expense for what is vi- tai to the nation. When one has reach ed the conclusion. as l have, that minimum of military preparedness Is essential. the question of its cost is secondary and cannot be permitted to be the determining factor. No citizen will or can properly object to the ex- pendture of money for vital national purposes
