COLONEL ROOSEVELT
SILENT ON POLITICS

New York, March 27.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt returned on the steam
ship Matura from the West Indies,
silent on politics and the Mexican sit
%uation, but announcing the discovery
in Trinidad OF what was to him a new
variety of a bird. in which he was very
much interested. He and his wife had
been absent six weeks on what he
termed a vacation.
The bird, he said. was about as big
as a barn owl. Ii lives in caves, is
nocturnal in its habits and eats nuts.
Its native name. he added, was the
"guacharo."
Asked by one of the newspaper men
who met him at quarantine if the bird
"barked like a dog" Colonel Roosevelt
pointed a finger warningly and ex-
exclaimed:
Nov, 10 nature taking, sir"
He added that he was going to call
the attention of the New York Zoolog-
ical society to the bird and remarked
that he might write something
about IL.

PREFERRED CAVE TO
LIFE IN A SOD HOUSE
Unique Home of Pioneer and
Family Brought TO Light.

CARRIER, Okla.-The falling of five
feet of cement porch of a farmhouse a
half mile north OF CARRIER brings to
light the unique home of a pioneer OF
this section.
Under this porch was a cave. The
cave was dug in 1894. At a point
along n little ravine n sandstone ledge
cropped out. and there s. H.. Peters
tunneled under and excavated two
large rooms, with a sandstone ledge
about three feet thick for "A roof. The
rooms extended sixty feet under the
ground, and at the deepest place there
was perhaps eight feet of dirt on top.
To the back room a skylight 3 by 5
feet was opened.
The rooms were plastered and white
washed, making 1t light enough for
one to read newspapers In any part OF
the cave 1t was very dry at that
time. and coffee kept In the cave
ground easily. s. III. Peters and his
family lived there many months be
fore he built a home above ground.
The stovepipe ran up the skylight,
and TO persons passing along the road
the smoke coming out OF the ground
was a novel sight. Hundreds of per-
sons visited this cave home. and all
wondered why the roof didn't fall In.
as 1t was not supported by timbers.
When the wet years came a little
spring In the cave which furnished all
the water for the family overfiowed
the rooms ut times. and In recent years
when the drain became clogged the
cave filed with water. The pioneer
later built a house almost over the
cave.
s. H.. Peters was but little longer
digging the cave home than was re-
CURED to build a sod house of the same
size. Sod houses were the first homes
of most OF the pioneers. The plaster
was the only expense to the cave
home. Today this section has the fin
est country homes In the state and Is
In the wheat belt.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, March 27.-As usual
on a Saturday, there was little doing
i'm the cattle trade. supplies being
limited. Cattle receipts have been of
seasonable volume for the week, total
than both last week and the CORE
spending time a year ago.
Strength prevailed in the market
the first three days of the week on
fat cattle, and up to Wednesday an
advance of 10 a zoe was quotable.
Supplies picked up as a result OF this
sharp advance, and easier trade CON
ditions ruled towards the close and a
good share of the early upturns were
wiped out.
Desirable grades of stockers and
feeders found a ready clearance all
week, although there was a slowing
down in the trade towards the ex-
treme finish. Common kinds were
hard to dispose of at all times and
trend at the close of the week shows
a degree of weakness.
Week end hog trade drew a fair
quota, and with outside advices bull
ish the local deal worked out on a
higher basis with Friday. Tops
landed at $9.65, while the bulk of the
sales were from 1925 q $50.
Lambs and sheep felt the influence
of bullish developments this week,
and closed at the highest level in the
history of the trade. Upper limit for
lambs for the six-day period reached
$11.35, while the high sale of year
ling wethers was $1,000.

FOLLY OF NATIONS.

In an address at London university before the Child Study association on Serving the Future" Dr. C. w.. Saleeby, an eminent English scientist, stated that he had it on the highest authority that the increase in infant mortality since the war began was al- most entirely due to the fact that mothers had been drinking more alco- hol-had, in fact, been using to kill the future the money given by the na- tion to save the future. People do not realize" the doctor declared, "how much of the finest food is being de- stroyed to make poison. It is the mad dest thing you can imagine, There are not enough ships to carry our con- merce, yet many ships are being used to bring to these shores the material for making poison that our mothers may buy at the corner of the street."
 To Illustrate the national need of caring for children in their earliest years Doctor Saleeby remarked that during the past r months the army had been rejecting immense numbers of "damaged' men, who were really damaged as long ago as 1S90-95. Ger many had been having the same diff culty, but In her case it was even more serious. That country, he said, was now paying for her characteristic militarist neglect of the mother and the child, for it was certain that a high rate of infant deaths meant q proportionately high rate of "dam- aged" or unfit men.
