KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT
 Cattle sold 10 to 15 higher to- day, some sales of light butcher grades 25 higher, receipts $500 head. Market made substantial gains last week after Tuesday due to small receipts and large number of orders from eastern killers. The same thing advan- ed the price today, and in ad- dition there was a better de- mand from the country. Kan sas served notice last week that all restrictions would be removed from cattle going into the state today, but reports of new cases of foot and mouth disesse near Eldorado Saturday caused fears that the bars would be put up again, otherwise there would have been a sharply higher stock CT and feeder market. But a number of Kansas men bought cattle, and Missouri men looking for stockers were numerous, a few from Illinois and Iowa.
 Top on beef steers was S7. 90 today, the kind that brought S7.35 at the low time last week, and choice COWS bring $500 to S6.75, medium COWS around S5.75. Fancy stock steers brought S7.6L today, only slightly under what they would have brought three weeks ago. Good to choice stock steers sold around S7.25, ana useful young cattle $500 to $6.75, An Illinois feeder buyer he Ire today wants cattle but hesitates to buy because of the poor prices being realized for fat cattle al Chicago. He had cattle there last week at $6.90, 1,425 pounds average, which cost $7.65 here last fall as feeders.
 There was a good active hog market today, several loads te order buyers at $6.25, packers top $6.60, bulk of sales $6.5L to $6.60. Receipts are 11,O0t here today, and proved to be less than expectations at a markets. There is broad out let for pork and it's product, ant unless the run is heavy there may be advances this week. S far the market has shown abllitA to recover from breaks after the S6.50 mark has been reache, every tune.
 Red Hot" were words used to describe the sheep market te- day, receipts 15, GOO, prices 10 to 15 higher, everything weighed up before noon. Order buyers paid $50 for a large number of lambs of all weights, up to S5 pounds, and some 91 pound lambs brought $8.20, top ewes S6.50, others $6 to S6. 40, feeding lambs up to S8.20. Order buye rs would have taken several more loads of good lambs had they been available. Prospects favor strong markets later this week.

chance for it to get far beyond a committee, especially as neither of the bills has passed either house, for the members are not going to take the time to dis cuss them.
 As for the bank guaranty bills, Senators Jones and Duty are al- so arthors of measures of this kind, though they are radically different in many sections. They have comprimised on a bill which is now in the hands of the Bank ing Committee. It is a lengthy affair, and it too may be sacri- feed because of the lack of time, though if there is a special ses- sion it may be included in the call, so it could then be more Iully QlScuSSeQ.
 During the time he occupied the office of Governor, Senator J. H. Futrell made quite study of the manner in which state offices, and all departments of State government, were conduct ed. He found that it was gen. eral practice for the officials and department heads to receive money intended for State use, hold it until the end of the month when they would present war rents for their salaries, the sala- ries of the employees of their de- partment, and if there was any balance, take up warrants held by their friends at their face value. In this manner the State employees did not have to discount their warrants, as did the gener- al run of the States creditors. There was no manner of check ing these receipts, so when Sen- ator Futrell returned to the Gen. eral Assembly and was made a member of the committee which audited the book of State depart ments, he prepared the bill which passed last week, making it a felony for state official to ac- cept money, other than the Treasurer. There is gen era l complaint among the State en- ployes over the change, and they have appealed to the legis= lators, but without relief being granted.
 There is an atipathy for things pretaining to newspapers in the present SeSSlOn Ot the assembly, particularly in the Senate. There have been seven measures intro duced in the Senate, six aimed at Publicity Act No. 3, and one gen. eral libel act which would turn the papers over to the politician, forcing the editors to publish statements in reply from the per sons attacked, Personal feeling has fathered most of these bills. The newspapers have been more fortunate in the House, however, only one of the drastic measures aimed at them being passed there and no objection was made to it by the press.

Sudan Splendid Yield-
 er and Good Hay
SMALL ACREAGE ADVISED SEED SHOULD BE BOUGHT WITH
 A GUARANTEE

VI ellO OIdeS dIS preparing to oX- pertinent with this new grass.
 There is but one objection to the Sudan grass, so far as I know, and that is the striking similar | ity of the grass to Johnson grass and the close resemblance of the seeds to Johnson grass seed. If you buy the Sudan grass without some sort of a guarantee as to It's purity you may run a risk of getting some Johnson grass on your farm and in many cases it would indeed prove a pest, Su- dan is splendid yielder, a very hardy grass, and is as good hay as timothy or Johnson grass hay and is relished by stock. If an experiment is to be tried, I would advise only a small acreage and then save the seed carefully if you find that they are pure and free from Johnson grass. A small patch af Johnson grass would be more easily killed out and for that reason there isa pos sibility that a small patch or acreage would be more desire able.
 A number of our farmers in various parts of the State have become intensely interested in the culture of new perishable crops and are planning to put fvls7ii rge crops like onions and cabbage. These are good crops, but 1t is not best to undertake too much and depend too much on such crops the first year. would advise a variety of such crops and smaller acreages of each and not be forced to de- pend on any single crop for rev enue. The second year will be entirely different and you will know to a certainty almost how much you can cultivate and about how much you will realize from that crop under average conditions. When you become familiar with the markets and the manner of disposing of these crops which are new to you so far as the growing of them in a commercial way is concerned.
 Make your plans to grow in- creased garden crops and now IS the time to secure the seed. Garden seeds are comparatively cheap and every man should have enough in his garden to insure plenty for table use and then quantities to can at home for next winter use or for sale, if their is more than enough for home consumption. The Girls Canning Clubs have taught us a lesson along this line and we should be proud to profit by their good example. One young lady netted $120.00 on one- tenth of an acre last year and there is no reason why the old folks cannot make at least one-half that much with the ordinary attention. Enough can be raised, canned, put up and sold out of the aver age Arkansas home garden to run the average Arkansas family table the entire year and with so little trouble that the time would scarcely be lost from the farm work.
 Every day there are number of farmers making requests of me for the names of Arkansas farmers who have seed of vari- ous kinds fog sale. l would be glad to have the name of every farmer in the State who has some kind of seed for sale and will take pleasure in giving your name and address to farmers who want to buy. If you have any good seed corn or any other kind of seed 1 would appreciate

What are the new federal re
serve banks doing: We hear
nothing much of them or from
them of late. We we're led to
believe by the Democrats that
the establishment of the reserve
banks would cause general
loosening up of money through
out the country and that bust
ness would boom as a result.
Money is not ,oose nowadays, in
fact, banks are holding it tight
er than before. Business is not
booming anywhere. The feder-
al reserve act, like the new tar
if law, is not living up to prom
Use. The Whole program of the
Wilson administration has gone
so awry that even Democrats
are losing faith in it.

While it may seem like mock
ing onr own interests, we wait
to say that we don't fancy
the bill introduced in the House
by Representative Dunn, of
Cole County, which, if it passes.
will require the publication of
the session acts in one or more
newspapers in each county i'm
mediately after the adjournment
of the Legislature. The Secre-
tary of State is given power to
select the paper which is to pub
lish this matter. The whole
proposition looks to Us much like
raid on the state treasury for
the benefit of the Democratic
newspapers. with sop throw n
to the opposition papers to keep
them quiet. The bill stipulates
that the rate of payment to the
papers selected by the Secretary
of State shall be that fixed by
law-one dollar per legal square.
This would give the favored pa
per neat little graft running
anywhere from $500 to $1,000. Oh
course, under the present regime
all such papers would be Demo-
cratic. Then to sOothe the envy
of such papers as are not in on
the graft, tie bill provides that
any other paper that has been es-
tablished five years or more may
also publish this n matter, for
which it will be paid one hun
dred dollars, out of the state
treasury. of course. How law
which fixes two prices for the
same work would stand the con.
stitutional test is questionable.
Also, we cannot but wonder
what peculiar discernmentof the
drawers of the bill has led them
to the conclusion that pnblica.
ton of the session acts in one
paper, designated by partisan
official, should be worth so much
more than when published by
another paper. The bill is sim.
ply rotten with graft. We don't
|object so much to the publication
of the session acts in newspap
lers, but il one paper can print
them for $1OO, we see no reason
why more should be paid te
janother paper.

Extraordinary Skid.

One Of the most remarkable es-

lieves the grim record of fatal acci-

at Brooklands, the famous English
speed course, recently. When ap-

speed Of 119 miles an hour, a tire
exploded and tho car skidded side
wise. For so yards the ear tore up
the track broadside on. and then in
quick succession turned two backward
loops. BY this time the banking of
the track at the curve was before the
occupants Of the car, and up this slope
the car ran backward to the very
edge. The driver. who had declutched

ly accelerated the engine, the clutch
going In with bang. Strips from the
burst tire had become entangled in
the chain. locking the right-hand
wheel. The sudden acceleration tore
these strips away, and down the en-
bankment the car plunged, turning an
other loop, this time head-on, and
dashed OF the track, bringing up safe

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE ALL

The boy began to walk; then came
the burro, and behind the old man.
How stupid" the men said why
do they not ride on the burro? No
doubt the burro will ride on them to-
morrow"
Both the old man and Juan heard
this. Then the old man said:
Now look here, my son; jump on
the burro and l will drive him.
They reached another town. Peo-
pie who saw them exclaimed: The old
man must be crazy and the boy is a
sin verguenza.'

questioned.
Yes, father"
We'll, now will ride the burro and
you will drive him.

"Yes, father"
"All right. jump on the burro and
we will both ride home"
They followed another trail, and on
their road they met a number of peo-
pie who came in the opposite direc-
tion, each one on a burro. Upon see
ing the old man and his son riding the
burro they exclaimed: These must
be savages. When shall we have a
society for the prevention of cruelty

A New Deficit Looms.

In spite or the SO-called war
tax, estimated to yield 800, 1000, 900
a year. the administration is con-
fronted with an additional deficit
and the president and cabinet
are wrestling with ways and
means of overcoming it. The
additional deficit is estimated at
$50 100000 This does not in
'.lude the proposed expenditure
for the government venture in
the shipping business. That
S3o, ,OOO,OO or S4O,OOO,OO0 is to be
raised by the sale of Panama
bonds, there seeming to be less
fear of the demoralizing effect of
such sale than the president felt
at the time he urged Congress to
levy the so called war tax. The
dispatches indicate that two
plans of meeting the emergency
are under consideration, both of
| which may be adopted. One
! would reduce the appropriations
in the new rivers and harbors
bill and the other would lower
the exemption of the income tax.
The Treasury Department has
adopted a regulation which, if
upheld by the courts, viii, add to
receipts from the income tax. It
would prohibit the deduction of
losses actually sustained during
the year unle IS such losses arose
from the regular trade or busi-
ness of the income tax payer.
But an income tax would have to
be paid on all gains during the
year, whatever their source. To
use a concrete illustration, a law.
yer who made $5O,OOO on real es.
tate speculations during the year
would pay an income tax on the
same. But if he lost $4,000 he
would get no deduction. An in
dividual regularly engaged in the
real estate business would be
privileged to deduct his losses
from his gains. The department
very properly holds that the
gains and losses must be real,
determined by closed transac.
tions and not merely computa
tions from market quotations
While purely administrative reg
alations have all the force of .

t'the very essence of the income
