MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Jan. 9.-As is usual on
a Friday, there was only a limited
u of cattle on hand. some fifteen
cars or 400 head. as against 1852 a
week ago and Sic the corresponding
day a year ago.
Butcher cattle clearance was on a
firmer basis today and mild reaction
from the bearish trend noted earlier
in the week was noticeable. Falling
off of supplies acted as a tonic to the
demand and while no sharp advance
vas quoted the feeling in the trade
was improved.
Buyers interest in stock cattle
continued fairly good and the outlet
for the limited assortment at hand
showed little or no change as com
pared with the previous day.
Sharply lower prices ruled in the
hog department as a result of con-
tinued heavy receipts and bearish
advices from outside points. Decline
in most instances figured a big dime.
Top reached $685., while the bulk of
the sales ranged from $3.50 q $50.
A 10 a 15c higher trade was re-
ported in the sheep house. Supplies
moderate and clearance out of
first hands made in good season.
Best lambs sold at $50.

NAVY NEEDS 200 AIR CRAFT.

chiss Of Asronautieal Bureau Tells 81
Their Value In War.
Washington. -Captain Mark l.. Bris-
rot chief Of the aeronautical bureau of
the navy department, declared that the
navy needs 200 air craft, 100 for active
service and 100 to be held In reserve.
1T would require an appropriation
OF 100000 to bring the aeronautical
branch of the navy up to the proper
STANDARD OF efficiency" Captain Bristol
says.
THE air navy of the United States"
said he, must consist OF aeroplanes,
semirigid or nonrigid airships-the de-
stroyer, cruiser and ~battleships OF the
air, respectively. The aeroplane will
be used for scouting to discover the
enemy's feet, especially submarines
and mines, and to attack the dirigiblas
and a~eroplanes Of the enemy.
1T Is the torpedo boat OF the air
against the airship cruisers and battle
ships. Having discovered the subma-
rines and mines. II directs the air
cruisers to attack these craft, and at
the same time protects the cruisers

cruisers also win lay mines, probably

be utilized over land for reconnaissance
and dropping bombs.
"The uses to which air craft a be
put in war will be better known after
the European war. 1t seems that the
air navy will be just as essential a
part of the country's lighting force as
the battleships and submarines.
ITO be successful against any enemy
the country must have command OF
the air the same as command of the
sea.
ANY nation that has suitable air
craft could detect submarines. The
aeroplane can see submarines and
mines very plainly and guide the diri-
gible to them, which can descend close
to the water and drop high explosives
to explode the mines or destroy the
submarines. We can pick up the mines
at their usual depth, even follow the
anchor line of the mine down to a
considerable depth below the mine"

APPLE CROP IS GOOD
Indications Point to so Per Cent
Yield For Shawnee County,

Following the harvest of an excel
lent summer crop the apple prospects
for Kansas this year are good. The
summer crop was a bumper one, ac-
cording 20 apple growers in the vicin-
ity of Topeka. The crop is also gem
orally good throughout the middle
west.
Grading has shown that the carly
varieties are excellent. The winter
varieties are expected to fall a little
below the early ones.
The Shawnee crop is far above that
of last year. The only early variety
affected by adverse conditions this
year was the Jonathans. Cloudy
days caused them to color and ripen
slowly. This same condition will eff
feet the winter crop. .
the country are seeing the great mar
ket value of more widespread spray
ing against insects.
The only sections in Kansas where
the crop is short to any extent is
around Troy and Wathena. Early
summer hail storms also affected the
crop in the vicinity of Silver Lake and
Rossville, but not enough to cause any
material loss for apple growers. Mis-
souri,, and especially the Ozark coun-
try, reports a good crop.
d. Debacker, an extensive apple
grower, of North Shawnee, estimates
that Shawnee county will have about
60 per cent of a crop this year. Other
sections of the country will have a
better average

All State Books May Be of Uniform
Size.

Members of the Kansas school text
book commission met here today for
the purpose of perfecting arrange
ments for the printing of the texts to
be used in the 1916-17 school session.
One of the points under consideration
was the making of all text books of a
uniform size.
w. r. Smith, state printer, who
called the meeting, urged the COM
mission to make early arrangements
for the copyrights for readers that the
books may be printed before the vol
