Democratic party should remain in

law fatal coal mine accidents that av-

of this year to sixteen. Under this
law the waste and friction of litigation

every dollar paid by the employer
reaches the hands of the injured work

Senator Robert L. owen of Okla

Republican Club in New York city
recently, vigorously upheld the Mex

tration, advocated submitting a ref

The present system of enlisting re-

LIVE STOCK MARKET

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. /.
Storms delayed delivery of live stock
today. and the cattle market opened
slowly but with firm tendency The
sales were called steady to strong ar
ter the trade opened The feature
was some prime natives, a three-car
drove arriving, from which load
could have been sorted outcapable OF
bringing 900. The lot was sold all
together at $50, average weight be-
ing 1858 pounds. Some sugar mill
steers from SCOTS Bluff, weighing
117O pounds, sold at 7.75 which was
considered very attractive price for
the drove Medium class of fed steer
stock ranged downward to 7.5O. and
plain steers around 200, but there
is better feeling this week. Some
of the commission men have written
to their customers predicting good
rise in beef cattle prices in the next
thirty days. Receipts today were
5000 head, and estimates for tomor-
row are light, indicating moderate
supplies ahead. Best cows sell at
600 to 675; heifers largely at 800
TO IT'S, few up to $50; bulls have
wide range of 500 to $50; veal
calves 500 to 1880. Stockers and
feeder sare holding up firm; sales
strong today; most OF the stockers at
GAS to ZOO; feeders at $50 to 1875;
good to choice cattle in either class
around 7.50; a few feeders above
that price. Hogs sold 5 to 10 lower
to order buyers, who picked over the
crop of 10000 head, at 7.SO to 1876,
the latter the top. Packers bid 10
to l s. lower, stopping at 790 for the
best heavy hogs; bulk of sales finally
1850 to 7.S5; light hogs up to 7.SO.
The supply was above expectations,
but dealers do not look for any big
run for few weeks, although there
is large supply in this territory for
the market little later. A feature
today was six cars of hogs from Col
orado. fattened on peas. The outly-
ing territory is producing more hogs
every year. shipments arriving here
in January from Idaho, Colorado.
Texas, Wyoming, and Montana. Ev-
cry valley has its hog raising popu-
lation now, and feedshortage is the
only thing that will stop the produc-
tion now in toe arid regions. Sheep
and lambs started back upwards to-
day; late sales 5 to 20 hifher; top
lambs 1855; ewes 7.35; yearlings
worth up to 9.25; wethers 500. Re-
ceipts We're 5000 today Feeding
lambs when goo dshearers, sell at
around 9.75. Continued light re-
ceipts, which it is possible for feed
ers to make the rule for this year,
becaues of shortage, will mean a
continued high level of prices.

LIVE IN THE SUNSHINE


Just live in the sunshine, there's
plenty of room.
Don't dwell in the shadows nor hide
in the gloom,
But search for the lining, all shining
and bright,
That's glowing beyond the dark
clouds of the night.
Look for the flowers, though the
weeds rank and tall
Seem choking their brightness until
they bloom small;
In large showy blossoms the perfume
is rare,
Seek then, the small flowers, the
sweetness is there.
Great deeds are noteworthy, but of.
ten you'll find
The small kindly act leaves content
ment behind,
The sunshine seems brighter, the
gloom slips away,
There's joy in the heart at the close
of the day.
Then live in the sunshine, tits shin
ing for thee, m
And look with clear vision its beau
ties to see;
smile on the lips and song sweet
and true
viii scatter the clouds. bring the
sunshine to view.
