LITTLE HARDSHIP RESULTING
 FROM CHILD LABOR LAW.

So little suffering among needy families has been found by the United Charities of Little Rock as a result of the new child labor law that Murray Auerbach, the general secretary, declares that there is no foundation for the argument that the law is causing hardship and therefore should be amended.
 Among all the cases t h t have come to our attention since the law went into operation, ; said MT. Auerbach,o only one case of hardship was found to have resulted from it. This was the case of a boy of fifteen who was working ten hours a day instead of eight as the law re- quires. The family income aside from the boys earnings was S33 a month, and this was only tenn porary because of the fathers illness.
 Typical of the many widows who come to IS, protesting against the law, was one who clamored loudly to have her son exempted from it. On investi- gation it was found that she own ed two houses, and she finally gave as an excuse that she only wanted her boy to work until February 1, in order to secure his school books, though the in- vestigation revealed the fact that he had been working six months previously"
 The experience of the United Charities with the operation of the law is similar to that of a man who has been active for many years in the schools of the State. Parents have been flock ing to his office since January 1, asking for work permits for their children, but in only two cases has any necessity for the child's work been found.
 MT. Auerbach is firmly con- vinced that is no need for the hurried amendments to the law that have been introduced. "A law cannot be tried out in two weeks" he said, and I am sure that the legislature will not

Report of Kansas
 City Stock Market
REMOVAL OF COUNTRY DEMAND CAUSE OF UNSATISFAC-
 TORY PRICES

Cattle sales today were steady to weak, as compared with the middle of last week exceptions stronger.
 A drove of 1,425 fat native steers sold at $7.35, a load of Nebraska steers, wellfilled, 1,239 pounds average, sold to an order buyer at S7. 30, a little more than the owner expected, and some 1, 406 pound Colorados brought $6.80. The market on prime steers was not tested, but the best cattle would stop somewhere around S8. A drove of high class panhandle heifers, 673 pounds average, sold at S7.85 to an order buyer for shipments east; the heavy end of these heifers, weighing about 750 pounds, received several bids of $7.00 and sold close to that price. A packer or two picked up a load or two of odd COWS around S5, and considered them higher than last week. Stock steers sold at 6.20 to $6.70, strong to higher prices. Veal calves remain firm, best at $10.75. Quarantine re- ceipts are very light, only II cars here today, including seven loads of good steers, weighing 1, 126, pounds at $685.. % Receipts here today are less i than f, 666 666 cattle, ttfe-a and the supply around the circle is moderate, except at Chicago where 23, 900 head were received. Vario u S quarantines at every ma r k e have restricted movement of stockers and feeders greatly, al though shipments from here to any state east is unhampered. Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklaho- ma have temporarily put up the bars against cattle from the out side. Removal of much of the country demand, and the neces- sity of the fat cattle market standing on it's own legs are i'm portant reasons for the present unsatisfactory state of the mar ket. No new cases of foot and mouth disease were reported last week, and a high govern ment official stated that in that he would consider the disease very close to being completely wiped cut.
 Hogs made some advances late last week, and sold 5 higher to order buyers today, steady to strong to packers, top S6.80, bulk $6.60 to $6.75, receipts B. 800. Markets west of the Missi- ssippi are lightly supplied today, and prices here show the advance noted in the face of a decline in Chicago. Order buyers can ship to any point east from Kansas City, but are hampered in ship- ping out of Chicago by govern ment regulations, hence a good market here today to order buy CTS who paid $6.75 to $6.80 for most of their hogs, packers pay ing $6. 60 to $6. 75 for mixed loads.
 Sheep and lambs sold 15 high CT today, receipts 10000 head. Several droves of lambs sold at $8.25, strictly prime lambs might reach $8.40, and fancy ewes are worth $6.25 to $6.50. Rather light receipts are in sight for later this week, and our market should continue strong. Feed ing lambs sell at S7.90 to $8.15.

Preparation of Land
 For Irish Potatoes
SOME FACTS CONCERNING PoTA- TO GROWING WELL WORTH
 KNOWING

The oat crop was doubled this last fall and we find many indi- cations that garden, vegetable and feed crops will also b e doubled and more in many cases this spring. Spring oats n d spring wheat should be given the formaldehyde treatment for smut, and potatoes should be treated f or scab. These new crops should be grown in the best way possible and not in the easiest an d most convenient way, or the old way. All the work in the way of preparation that is due a crop should b e given to that crop and the result will repay us many fold. Pota- toes should be given proper and careful attention.
 In potato preparation one of the most important things to do is to treat the potatoes with for maldehyde and mix it with thirty gallons of water in a barrel and then let the seed potatoes soak at least two hours in this solution. If scabs is in the land the only thing to do is to keep potatoes off that land for at least three years. This rule holds true with tomato and cotton blight also. But you can keep from putting scabs in the land by using the Iformaldehyde treatment before planting.
 In cutting the pototoes, cut them lengthwise and you will have better result and get a larger amount of food for each eye on which to live until the root system is formed. Do not dig the eyes out or try to got too many cuts from one potato. An average potato should not fur nish more than about five cuts.
 Ten wagon loads of we'll routed manure to the acre is not too much for potatoes. Manure that is not we'll rotted has a tendency to encourage scabs and should therefore not be used. The soil must have a good supply of hu- mus and the manure is the best and most valuable humus you can get. The manure should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. The land should be given a good deep breaking in order to give the root systems plenty of good loose soil in which to grow and expand.
 While potatoes d o we'll o n many kinds of soil, they do best on ri c h, we'll drained, sandy 'loams containing an abundance of organic matter. The oi l should be mellow, deep and DOT pus. When potatoes are grown 'on heavy soils, not we'll drained, the tendency is for the product ion of excessive water tubers of undesirable quality.
 Potatoes respond to the judici- :5us use of fertilizers and require fertilizers in which there is a large percentage 0 f potash. With a good heavy application of Toarnyard manure there should be fair application of fertilizer with ahigh percentage of potash, and the potash should come from s5ulphate of Potash, 200 pounds To the acre o f the Sulphate alone with heavy application ,f manure will pay. Do n t time potato soil because the lime a,las a Tendency to produce scabby hootatoes.

IN OLD VIRGINIA

remember, I remember,
The state where l was born,
The mint beds in the garden;
The fields Of ripened corn.
Bird songs that woke me early;
The music Of the rill;
The sunshine on the sidebOard,
And the moonshine on the hill.
I remember, remember,
Bout every half mile
A place to greet your neighbor
And get friendly smile;
All, changed is old Virginia!
But yet upon the hill,
Mayhap when sad and lonely,
You can find the moonshine still.

PIONEERS ARE PREPARING
 BIG TIME FOR NEW YEARS

II begins to look as though there will be considerable doing on the night of December 31. when Iditarod Igloo No. 10, Pioneers of Alaska, celebrates its first New Years eve A live committee, both in 1dltarod and on the creeks, is now working up splendid program of music and entertainment. Many clever and original stunts will be staged and some new talent already is enlisted. This part of the program will be short and snappy and will conclude with laughable comedy sketch now being evolved by the versatile James Farrell. A selected cast ot actors and actorines will achieve undylng fame on this night
 An interval of dancing to soul -entranclng music will then follow until midnight, when 1916 will be appropriately ushered in with twenty-minute carnival of noise, joy, frolc and gladsome greeting. Then supper. And oh! ye gods! what delcacies will await the hungry. Chef Frank Keenan, with a corps of assistants, will produce meal that will really be banquet.
 Then dancing until the terpsichorean en- thusiast cries enough.
 Altogether it will be gleeful night-a pet.together night-a night on which the old sourdoughs will entertain their guests in iolly and informal style. They want every body to start the new year happy and care free, and, judging from the success of their last endeavor, they will accomplish all of that and-thcn some.

MERE|GENCY LAWS IA
Drastic Legislation for Punishment of Offenders Against Neutrality
 Laws of United States

WASHINGTON, Dec. S-1hat congress is to be asked to enact drastic legislation governing violations of the neutrality laws of the United States Is the inference drawn from the Presidents message Acts have been committed by foreigners and American clt- zens since the outbreak of the European war that are not now prohibited by the statutes, but which have embarrassed the administration and caused trouble for the state department. These acts, it is said by officials, will be made criminal otfenses.
 Officials of the department of justice for months have been Investigating charges al leging the commission of acts detrimental either to private interests, government plants or to peace and good order and have discovered with am mazement that there Is absolutely no statute under which otfenses complained of can be prosecuted.
 To Prepare Amendments
 As these matters have been investigated, a digest in each inst ance has been prepared for the departments legal experts. From this digest the experts will prepare series of amendments for submission to Attorney General Gregory, who in turn will submit them to the President for recommendation to congress.
 The recent German propaganda, with all ts ramhcations, pertaining to the inaugu ration of strikes in munltion plants, the crippling of American foreign trade through the purchase and cornerIng of raw materials essential to certain lines of manufacture, correspondence and personal intercourse be- tween agents of foreign governments and American citizens with view to interfer- ing with the rights of American manufac- turers, producers anG merchants, have been found to be not in violation of any statute.
 It is said by department experts to be questionable even if James F. Archibald can be prosecuted under the existing penal code for attempting to take into Germany the correspondence that caused the recall ot AtnDaSSduOT bullIDd Ui Auotila iliu "AiitAi also is to send Captain Franz von Papen, the German military attache, out of the country.
 Eyes Opened by Laxity
 The laxity of the laws in this respect has opened the eyes of the department of justice to the necessity of providing against such situation in the future. When the amendments are submitted to congress the entire chapter of the penal code governing offenses against the government practically will have to be rewritten.
 Congress is asked to give early consider aton of the matter, but government oil cials do not anticipate that there is to be an early cessation of hostiities, and as the war goes on these attempts to violate Amerl- can neutrality are expected to increase rather than diminish.
 | It is said that the files of the division of investigation of the department of justice are filled with mass of interesting and confidential reports bearing upon the ac- tivities of the agents of belligerents and of the attempts of American citizens to CO., operate with htem
