Northwest here looking for sup
plies, number not even getting
a look-in. Prices on all grades
of beef cattle were a big 25c

grades.

demand was good, and there was
an active market. There was
one good load that brought $3.50.
The balance of the steers were
mostly common grades and sales
ranged from 4.50 to $50. Pack
ers a n d butchers took about
everything offered. Beef steers

CHRISTMAS HYMNS

lHE earliest Christmas hymn was
undoubtedly the Gloria In Ex-
celsiS," which was probably one
, of the hymns which the Chris
tians were singing in church at
Christmas In Nicomedia. when
DiocletiaR: the emperor. ordered
the church to be closed and the
whole congregation, young and
old. burned to death.
1t Is strange that while we
know that Christmas and the
Epigrany were celebrated by
the singing Of hymns. no an
Gent carols have come down
to us.
There Is an old carol dating
from the fifteenth century which
has the "Gloria In Excelsis" for
a refrain. 1t begins:
A babe was born all of a maid
To bring salvation unto us.
No more are we to sing afraid
Veni creator spiritus.
One of the best carols of the
Elizabethan period is that by
Robert Southwell. a Jesuit priest
who was sent to convert Eng
land, but who was seized by her
Protestant Majesty Elizabeth
and imprisoned in the tower for
three years. and then, after SUI.
fering the torture of the rack
was executed Feb. 2, 1894. 1t
begins:
Behold. simple. tender babe
In freezing winter night;
In homely manger trembling lies.
Alas. a piteous sightI
During the protectorate of o.
liver Cromwell the observance
OF Christmas was forbidden,
and yet there Is a Christmas
carol from the Puritan pen of
George Wither, who was en-
riched and promoted by Crom-
well and thrown into prison by
Charles. 1t begins:
As on the night before this happy
A blessed angel unto shepherd
told.
Bishop Christopher Words
worth of Lincoln has given US
the hymn beginning "Sing, oh
sing. this blessed NORM James

gels from the realms of glory"
Montgomery was born of Mora
Wan parents and dedicated to
the ministry, but he took I'D
newspaper work instead and be-
came eminent in general lit.
erature as well as in poetry.
Paul Gerhardt. to whom we
are indebted for the Easter
hymn. Jesus Lives" has also
given us a spirited Christmas
carol beginning "All my heart
this night rejoices."
In the midst of the warlike
strife between King Charles
and his parliament In the year
1920 John Milton found both
leisure and repose to write his
hymn. ION the Morning Of the
Nativity" in which there are
evidently references to the dis.

DoREMus CLAIMS DEMOCRATS :. WILL MAKE GAINS IN HOUSE
Unofficial Election Returns Indicate 1 217 Republicans, PIP Democrats.

Washington, Nov. 15.-IncompIeted
 canvasses of the vote in several close congressional districts today brought
 no changes in the unofficial election
 results which indicate that 217 repub-
 icans, 212 democrats and six of other
 parties have been elected to the sixty
 fifth congress. Representative Dore
 mus, chairman of the democratic con-
 gresSional committee, still claims, how
 ever, that democrats will make gains
 on the final returns in six or seven
 of the close districts, which apparent
 ly have elected republicans by small
 majorities. Speaker Clark and other
 democratic leaders also confidently ex-
 pect to cut down the republican plu-
 rality.
 Representative Woods, chairman of
 the republican committee, insisted to-
 night that the republicans undoubted- ly would control the organization of
 the house. A speaker to be elected must receive a majority of the house, or 21S votes. Although the unofficial
 returns show the republicans to be one short of majority, they are counting on the progressive elected in Minnesota, the progressive-rep publican in Louisiana and the independent in Massa chnsetts to vote with them for James R. Mann for speaker.
 Prospects of a republican gain were apparent in the thirty-second Penn sylvania district, where the canvass showed Representative Barchfeld lead ing Guy Campbell, his democratic op- ponent, by twelve votes. On the un- official returns Campbell led Barch- 1 field by nineteen votes. Country pre- cincts still are to be canVaSsed.
 Chairman Fitzgerald of the house appropriations committee, after dis cussing with administration leaders today plans for the programme Of the winter session, said efforts would be Il1r f1 I4 vryi&h J-,J | Christmas recess so that more busi- ness could be transacted
