HOG MARKET IS LOOKING
UP ON PUGTT SOUND
Seattle, Ian. g, 1916.

Seattle, Jan. g, 1916.
The prediction of U. S. government
officials that the hog market of the
country was sure to show signs OF
strength at an early date has come
true. Hogs are now bringing $7S
in the Puget Sound market and it is
generally conceded that shipments are
so limited that it will be necessary in
another forty or sixty days to begin
shipping from Missouri river points.
Freight and shrinkage will add about
$l20 to the price with the result tina.
it is predicted the price will be $500
or even more by spring The govern
ment is going to every length to In
vities and there is every indication
that they are taking kindly to the ad-
vice. The government has always
contended that it is serious mistake
for growers to even temporarily
abandon the raising of hogs notwith-
standing that wheat prices were soar
ing and hogs were not bringing the
prices they should This condition the
government contended was only TENT
porary and that it would be only
short time when wheat would go down
, in prices and hogs would go up. This
prediction is certainly coming true as
to the advance in hog prices and STU
dents of market conditions are sure
that wheat prices are liable to take
slump most any time War alone,
it is contended is largely responsible
for the high grain prices. But even
Europe has stopped buying our wheat
and is depending on its own crops. and
those that can be purchased from
nearby countries. 1t is an admitted
fact that Russia has so much wheat on
hand that she does not know what do
with it. Once the Allies succeed in
coming to her rescue and releasing
this wheat American prices are sure
to go back to normal or even below
normal.
And with the close of the war or
even earlier, if they can get it. Eu-
ropean countries will be very enxious
to get our pork. There is pork
famine in Europe today and it will be
greater for a time, at least. after the
war comes to close. But even now.
leaving European demands out OF
consideration, the American hog mar
ket is getting in fine shape and grow
ers are assured of fine prices for the
future.

 'It would be impossible to main tain the Plattsburg standard of in tensfty for more than two months, and at the outside three, consequent ly for a consecutive period of six months we would have to reduce the comparison from four and half to one to three in one in order that the officers and men might come through.

 "It must be remembered we are not intending this citizen soldiery as a large standing army ready for az gression at a moments notice, but what we Nare working for is a citi- zenry trained to reasonable degree of efficiency in arms, so that the na- ton can rise and render efficient ser vice in it's own defense.
 When we speak of six months, reference is only made to the private soldier and not to the non-commis- stoned officer and officer. They will required longer and different type of training, training which fits for lead ership, and every inducement must be made to maintain our reserve off, cers on a permanent status, also the senior grade of, non-commissioned Officers.

CORPORAL DEFENDING
MEXICAN GIRL is SHOT
Virginia Trooper Instantly Killed By
Regular Officer-Chased
Two Miles.

Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 1S.-Cor
poral James Clement, c Company,
Second Virginia regiment, was shot
and instantly killed, and Sofa Valdez,
a Mexican girl, was probably fatally
wounded by another corporal assigned
to the quartermaster's corps OF the
regular army.
A corporal who gave his name az
Dunches later was chased by a. posse
two miles and his trail lost. Later he
appeared at the county jail and sur
re4dered.
The Valdez girl had repulsed Dun
ches' advances, according to members
OF her family, and when threatened
with violence, it is stated, called for
assistance. Just as Corporal Clement
appeared to aid the girl, it is charged,
Dunches shot the Mexican girl twice
and turned his weapon on Clement,
killing him instantly with two bullets
in the breast.
