STUDIO GRAND TO MOVE
INTO NEW QUARTERS

Ford Hassing announces this week
that he will try to move into his new
studio in the Eccles office building
next week. The place was arranged
for him according to his own desires,
with the studio sky-light and conven-
lent arrangement of rooms. There
are four rooms, work room, dark
room, reception room and dressing
room. Most of the equipment for
the studio will be new.
The president is to consider the
high cost of food. So the rise has
reached that high at least.

NEW ENGINE STARTED

The big new seventy horse power
Foos engine and dinamo at the city
electric light plant was started in
motion Tuesday for the first time.
1t ran as steady as top and if itco.'-
tinues, to behave as nicely will prove
good investment. The new outfit
is connected to the same circuit as
the old one and whenever it is nec-
essary, in order to properly carry the
load, both engines will be kept in
operation. During the laso two years
the amount of electricity used has
more than doubled, making the load
entirely too heavy for the old engine
which is eighty horse power. How
ever now with the combined loo
horsepower the load can easily be car
ried. 1t is also the intention of the
city administration TO keep the plant
in operation twenty-four hours each
day, beginning sometime between
now and the first of March.

THE WORLD s1.so AFTER MARCH 1

Beginning March l, 1917, the price
of the World will be advanced to
81 so per year. Everything has ad-
vanced-drugs, food stuffs, hardware,
leather goods, clothing, in fact near
ly everything that grows or is manu-
ractured has advanced to double the
former price and many things have
trebled. 1t is true of the materials
used in the print shop especially pa
per and inks which contain dye stuffs
have gone out of sight. All job print
ing materials where fine grade of
paper is used are all twice as high as
they were two years ago.
We believe our readers and patrons
are fair enough to see that it becomes
necessary to advance, our price. We
will make every effort TO give. the
public the. best paper possible for the
price. All of the city dailies and all
the papers in the Sixth district have
been compelled to raise their sub
scription rates. Just stop moment
and consider that a 81. so a year you
will receive your county paper 81
times during the year at less than
cents per week or cents per copy.
Cheap isn't it?

Suggestion to Auto Owners

Il own an automobile myself. said
a farmer the other day, "but it isn't
a square deal to those who do not
own machines for those who do to
run them up to the sidewalks in front
of the stores and leave them there
so that those in wagons cannot get up
to the stores to get their groceries.
There ought to be city ordinance
compelling all autos to be parked in
in the center of the street and none
be permitted to remain alongside the
curbing for more than five minutes
at time This is a good sugges-
tionsand If the auto owners will act
upon it there will be no necessity of
city ordinance being enacted We
believe the farmers would find such
an arrangement to their own conven-
fence and after they have tried it
out will not return to the old way of
heading them. in. They found that
heading them in toward the side walk
was an advantage over stopping them
permiscuously and adopted the Gus
tom of their own free viii and accord
We believe they will do the same
thing about parking them in the
center of the street after they have
once tried it out.

HUGHES PLURALITY OVER WILSON

dispatch from New York yester-
day gave the tabulated official presi-
dental election returns for the coun.
try, showing a vote of GIG, ,296 for
Wilson and of S,547,474 for Hughes,
and stating that the country gave
Wilson the great popular plurality of
56s, ,S22 votes.
The tabulation, however, told an
other story. If it is examined, it will
reveal that there were mine states
where no election, in the American
sense, or the. Democratic sense, was
held.
The so-called Empire State of the
South" for example, the&state of
Georgia, shows but IL, ,225 votes for
Hughes, fewer than were cast for
Hughes in Shawnee county The
Wilson plurality in Georgia was l14,-
606. In the state of Florida but a.
GIL Republican votes were counted.
The state of Louisiana allowed but
6,644 votes TO be cast and counted for
Hughes election. In Mississippi the
total vote for Hughes was but 4,253.
South Carolina exemplified South
ern Democratic suppression of free
election of an American President
In that state the total vote cast and
counted for Hughes for President
was 1,S09- Kansas, with the same
population, gave Wilson 314, 5SS votes.
Nine southern states that suppress
free operation of self government
gave to Wilson a majority over
Hughes of 73l, 40l. 1t is Idle to con-
slider the votes cast and the majori-
ties marshaled in such communities
as having TO do with the popular vote
of the nation.
Outside of the nine states referred
to, the free vote for President in 80
free states gave Hughes a plurality
over Wilson Of 162, ,57e Capital

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, January
9, l917.-The cattle market was slow
to start, and steer prices were finally
uneven, some cases 10 to l5 cents
lower, COWS and suockers and feeders
steady, receipts $4,000. Hogs sold 10
to Is cents higher, strongest at the
finish, top $40 80, receipts $4,000.
Sheep and lambs sold 15 TO 25 cents
higher, lambs sl3 so, ewes SO 40, re-
ceipts 1000
Beef Cattle-The best steers here
sold at 5000 to s1O.75, considered a
little lower than yesterday. All
grades have reached high level
where uneveness in bids is unavoida-
BILE, hence the slow market such as
there was today on steers emphasizes
the weak points But cattle with lit
tile or. no flesh bring $3.50 to 50, and
cattle that have acquired a layer or.
two of tallow go at SO and upwards.
Cows sold steady today, prime heavy
cows quotable up to 80, Gamers s.. 25
to 1915. Fairly liberal receipts to-
day were the result of haste to get
away from feed bills, and point to
scant supplies later.
Stockers and Feeders-Fleshy feed
81 so to s8 so, stock steers mostly at
S6.75 to 81 IS, best kinds up to $3.50.
The big margin between thin cattle
and fat ones that was in effect from
October TO the first of January is be-
ing narrowed up, but still looks at
tractive to feeders. Fat steers are
two cents a pound higher than a year
ago, and feeders are only one cent a
pound higher.
Hogs-With a top of SO 80, and
bulk 80 80 to SlO.75, the local market
is again right at the heels of Chicago,
where the top today was 5000, bulk
s1040 to SO 80 Apparently the
market is headed for the eleven dol
lar mark, and if it exceeds 81. Is
here it will be above the high spot in
September, which was the highest
point it ever reached at Kansas City.
The average weight went up to 1S6
lbs last week, the slump previous
week to 1T6 lbs being due to the arri-
val of fifteen cars of pigs from the
Salt River Valley, Arizona, that
week. These and other pigs were
sold to immunizing plants, where vac
cinated stock hogs are plentiful, Ari-
zonas around SO 75, selected natives
SO TO $40. so.
Sheep and Lambs-Receipts fell
short of the estimate of $1,000 by
nearly 5000 head, and buyers were
spurred by the deficiency into paying
Is to 25 cents higher prices, although
they absorbed 1e. 900 head here yester-
day. Best lambs sold at S13 so today,
top price in Omaha today $40, St.
Joseph 49, 40. Ewes went to high rec
ord today, $40, and yearlings are
quotable up TO s12- 25- Feeding lambs
sold freely at s12 today, and shearers
bring up to sl2. so. The market acts
like it was located on solid rock.
