u. S. MAIL BOX IS
NOT MATCH LIGHTER
Persons Who Use it as Such Are
Liable to Prosecution by
Uncle Sam.

The ordinary citizen Of Keokuk
will be surprised to learn that he has
been to certain extent breaker Of
federal laws for 10 these many years.
The law that is broken many times
and oft is that Of scratching matches
on government mail box. If man
desiring to light his stogie draws a
match across the surface Of the box
and is sighted by a federal officer or
sleuth he can be hailed into court and
fined $40.
Another rule affecting mail boxes
has lust been put into effect by the
government. All private mail boxes
which are accepted by the postal de
partment by the act Of the carrier
nIacing mail in them will be taken
under the protection of the govern
ment. It is believed that this new
ruling will persuade many people to
get mail boxes. There will be no dan
ger of the mail being tempered with,
as the penalty will be the same as the
one in regard to the protection OF cor
lection boxes. The penalty is $1,000

Sioux City is planning to pave five
of the most important highways run
ming out of that town as soon as
ways and means can be arranged.
The roads selected for paving are
the Correctionville road, the road
through Leeds as far as the Plymouth
county line, the road leading out
across the Big Sioux bridge, the
Broken Kettle road to Plymouth,
and the Peery creek road to the
Plymouth county line. All five roads
constitute about twenty miles The
total cost of the work is estimated at
S200,444. Before such work can be
done, however, it will be necessary
for the legislature to pass laws grant
ing Sioux City and towns of similar
size the right to proceed with the
levying OF assessments for such pur-
poses.

average weight was 226, and for the
same month in 1913, 213 pounds.
For the year hogs averaged 231
pounds. as compared with the 1913
average Of 22S pounds.
In December veal gained ever 1918
by total of 166 head. Horses show
a considerable gain due to the Euro
pean war. At every stock yards dur
ing the past month, buyers have been
busy under English army contracts,
buying animals for use in the field
artillery and the cavalry arms OF the
British army. This grade OF horse
has been in great demand in Chicago,
and the receipts were Increased for
the month 1896, and for the year 49,
e67.
The railroads Lave been rushed all
month with consignments to Chicago
and the number of the cars used dur
ing the past month has been increased
40 over the number used In Deem
Der 1913. For the year Of 1914, 3o,-
25S cars was the decrease.
The December report as compared
with the November report is very
encouraging and slows great i'm
provement. The western run was
stopped to a great extent by weather
conditions and this is one OF the
chief reasons for the decrease in
1914.
Mutton fell off $1,000 head in De-
cember, 1914, as compared with the
same month in 1913. The quarantine
affected sheep as well as cattle and
the delay caused by the embargo was
the means of stopping many of the
shipments of western rangers, ship
Inents which were intended for the
early November markets, but we're
kept off the market by the weather
conditions on the western ranges.
For the entire year of 1914 the re-
ceipts in sheep show decrease Of
;.e4,45S head.

December 1914, still shows a decrease
in the amount of live stock received
as compared with the 1913 report but
the decrease does not compare with
