Kansas City Livestock Prices
Kansas City Stock Yards,

. April 10, 1916. Scant supplie of cattle at all points last weel
 forced buyers into the market : and all of recent losses were re gained. Today there are a few thousand too many cattle offered and buyers were quick to seize their opportunity, steers 10 to l.
 lower, some sales off 25 cents,
 cows and heifers steady to 1E
 lower. stockers and feeders steady to 15 lower. Yearlings steers and heifers sold at $9. 40 today, heavy steers S9.35 and S9. 40, a string of six cars of steers from Frankfort, Kansas, 1446 lbs. average, selling at the latter price. a fair number of steers sold at $9 and upwards. and medium steers brought S8. 35 to $8. 75, There was a light sup ply of pulp fed cattle, about 20 loads in all, the best selling at $8. 90, 8 cars of Sugar Company steers from Garden City, Kansas l16O lbs average, at S8.80 as compared with $8.75. for some of the same steers last Monday. There were no quarantine cattle today, but a number of ship ments of North Texas steers sold here last week at $8. 15 to $8.65. Best cows sell up to $8, and most of the medium COWS bring S6. .25 to S7, 50. Stockers and feeders are in strong demand, Illinois buying more heavily in the last week then heretofore. Good feeders sell around $8, and stock steers mostly at $7 to $7.75. a few yearlings up to $8.50, and calves S9.O0.
 Hogs at seven western mar kets dropped off 86, 900 head last week from the previous week, local receipts showing a loss of 10, head. This was com plete reversal of the recent trend, as total hogs marketed so far this year at eleven leading mar kets is slightly above ten million head, as compared with 9,400,- 900 head at the same markets, same period in 1908. biggest pre- vious year. Prices were uneven, packers insisting on lower prices, but order buyers made strong competition, the week closing 15 cents below high point. Re- ceipts here today are 11,000, markets 10 to 15 lower, packers paying the top, $9. 45. at the close. Order buying is heavy, this trade taking liberal num- Der today, and half the hogs one or two days last week.
 Sheep and lambs are 50 higher than the middle of last week, re- ceipts 5000 today. Prices are up 15 to 25 cents today, following a big raise Friday. which puts values back up to the high time. All classes of live stock seem to be selling at prices that are justified by conditions, and re- verses are short lived. Most of the lambs sold at $11. 40 to $11- 65 today, and clipped lambs brought $9.70. No good ewes were in cluded. but they would go to S8.- 60. Texas brusher goats of poor grade sold at S5. 10. Texas clIpp- ed wethers worth around $7.50, fat goats up to $6. good brushers $5.5O.

issued by the registrar general for Ireland shows that the population of Ireland increased last year by 9,452. This follows on an increase of 7.11S during the year 1914. There has been a decrease of births in proportion to population of six per cent, and an increase of two per cent in the deaths. The increase in the popula- ton is due entirely to the diminution in emigration. Emigration in 1914 was A per cent less than in 1913, and in 1915 there was a decrease of 50 per cent on the 1914 figures. The increase of population first noted in 1914 and now continued, Is the record of in crease since the days of the great famine of 1S48.

this fact that we are making here our
status there. Death Is the commence
ment of greater effectiveness for life.
That stone is rolled away from our
sepulchers.
1t is also true that Christ gave
ground for believing that our loved
ones gone are still with us. He told
his disciples that where they were,
there he would be in the midst of
them. He spoke of home he had
gone to prepare and of coming to take
them to it. Enframe this as one may,
the picture is the same-reunion with
the loved ones gone. You come home
from trip abroad. AS you draw near
the pier the hands of loved ones wave
to you. the steamer ties up TO her
wharf and you are again in the arms
of those so dear. So it is at death.
You have been long away from those
at home, but the vessel that has car
ried you-your body-ties up some
day to the little green wharf on some
quiet hillside and you again are with
your dear ones.
There rolls the last stone away.

- HREE days have passed sine

" HREE days have passed since
the death of Jesus on Calvary.
B.. Gray dawn is streaking the
sky as they who so lovingly
watched him to his burying are max
ing their lonely way to the rock-hewn
tomb in the garden" All is still as
their sandaled feet sweep through the
dew-wet grass, the sweet spices in
their arms pertaining the chill air.
AS they 60 they say one to the other:
Who shall roll the stone from the
sepulcher?'
That question many hearts In every
age since have asked. Sooner or lat
er we all make the pilgrimage these
loving women made to the place
where rests all that Is mortal of our
loved ones. and there arise in our
hearts the great questions about what
Is beyond the tomb. These questions
lie like heavy stones between US and
our departed dear ones, and we say:
Who shall roll away the stone?"
The message of Easter Is an an
swer. The inspiration of Easter Is
that we, too, find the stone rolled
away. We are often told that we err
to sorrow for our loved ones gone,
but this is not true. Jesus sorrowed
greatly with those who had met such
losses as ours. He would not have
us sorrow as those who have no
hope, but he recognized that it would
be unnatural not to grieve, and I'M
kind not to remember. Let us re-
mind ourselves that Jesus would not
have US put away all signs of those
gone out of sight; that he would not
have us live as though they had
never been with us. They are not
dead they are just away" This is
one stone rolled away from our
sepulchers.
Here we desire to do many things
which the limitations of the flesh
prevent. But when the fleshly limi.
tation Is removed our love, our mem
cry, our aspiration, our results of rich
experience, all those real qualities
which make us ourselves, are free to
do and to be. One of the highest in
ducements to a spiritual life now 10
