ket IS stronger to 1O higher, beS steers offered $10.50 to $1O.65 Hogs advanced 15 to 30 cents top $12.10, receipts 5000. Sheer receipts were 5000, market 10 tC 25 up. lambs $14.70, ewes. $10. 7E prices never equaIled here before.
 Beef Cattle-The main element of strength today came from the fact that Chicago, Omaha and other Northern markets are in a storm area, and had light re- ceipts. Nothing very high class was here. prime steers quotable up to $11. 75. Influence of the war talk was hardly noticeable today in any department of the market, cattle, hogs and sheep. Far to good native steers sold at $9.35 to $1O.25. Several lots of medium finished pulp fed steers arrived, and sold at $10.10 to $10.65, weights from 1080 to 1234 Ibs.. a load of pulp fed bulls at $8. Cows continue firm, sales strong to 10 higher today, prime heavy COWS $9 or better, medium fleshed weighty COWS SIPS to $8, canner cows around $6.
 Stocker and feeders. - Cold weather put a damper on enthu- siasm for stockers and feeders, and prices are no more than steady today. A rather large share of the receipts were thin grades, which worked in favor of buyers. A leading sale was 300 head of 705 lbs. Panhandle stock steers, pretty well bred Herefords at $8.65, with 20 out at S7.50. Feeding steers range mostly from $8.50 to $9. 75, oc- casional sales at $1O or better.
 Hogs. market today dis regarded adverse influences. and sales were 15 to 30 higher, light and medium weights hogs getting greatest gain. these having dropped most last week. The top of $12.10 was equal to best price paid last week before the scare, part of the gain today re- from smaller receipts at Northern points, and part to greater confidence in futures. Medium weights greater defci- ency at all the markets combined than had been expected, and there appears no relief in sight in the way of liberal supplies.
 Sheep and Lambs. s.-New tops have been set at the sheep house nearly every day for weeks, and new records were again made today. bulk of the lambs selling at $14. 60 to IA. 70, former highest price $14.55. paid last Friday. Various lots of ewes sold at BIO. 50 to S10.75 today, all higher than any previous sale here. YearIings are worth up to $13.25, wethers $11.50, feeding lambs S13 85. So far shippers have volume of receipts in nasterly way, keeping the mar ket firm continually.

 may enter $40 acres anywhere ir

 his original entry was made.
 Preferential rights = All for
 mer homestead entrymen who
 have heretofore entered lands as above described and entitled tC make additional entries that are of the same character of lands that are provided for in the 640- acres law (and recollect these lands must be of the same class) have ninety days preference right after the secretary of the interior has finally designated lands adjoining these former homestead entries as stock rais- ing lands, within which to ap- pear and make entry on conti- guous or adjoining lands.
 Those making original applica- tions should keep in mind the rights of homesteaders who have taken up lands adjoining stock raising lands. Before you make application be sure you know the lands you have selected do not contain tracts which adjoin entrymen who have the ninety days preferential right, as in all probability those former entry men will use their preferential right, and thus take from you the portions to which he is en- titled.
 Under the present ruling any person who has had or who now has a homestead in the Forest Reserve is net entitled to the benefits of the stockmens home stead law.
 In taking up original home steads under the 64O-acre stock raising homestead law the entry man must comply with the re- gular homestead Jaws with the exception of cultivation. He must reside on the land for seven out of ten for the period of three years and put improve ments on the land to the value of $1. .25 per acre.
 The fees to be paid to the U. s. Land Office are as follows:
 $40 acres single minimum land would be $24.OO plus 5000. s34OO.
 $40 acres double minimum land would be $48.OO plus $10.0O, $500.
 320 acres single minimum land S22.OO.
 320 lacres double minimum land $34.OO.
 160 acres single minimum land $16.OO.
 16O acres double minimum land S22.OO.
 The filing of the petition and and acceptance of the same by the district land office does not give the right of occupancy of the land, the land cannot be occupied by the ap- plicant until it has been segre- gated by the secretary of the interior. but the lands are with drawn and held suspended from all other entries pending the ac- ton of the secretary.
 All petitions and applications must be made in duplicate form.
 The explanatory statement made by Hon. Scott Ferris, Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands contained on pages 1 and 2, of the act is, of course, not the official interpretation of the law. This will be made later by the General Land Office.
 Through the colums of the News I will keep the public in- formed of changes Tn the ruling as sent out from the General Land Office, and will be glad to give information to any who may call at my office or write me as I can take care of your petitions and applications for a reasonable fee. w.

What Senator Reed thinks Of Hoov-
er has been made known. What Hoov-
er thinks of Senator Reed is not
stated. Yet the debate on the food
control bill in the senate has again
disclosed the fact that the most earn
est of the opposition to the Presi-
dents war plans comes from the mem
bers of his W party, and that, in
this case, as with CONSUMPTION and
other fundamental proposals, it will
be Republicans who will stand by
the President" Nevertheless, we as
that Jimham Lewis and others
of that ilk will continue to declare that
a Republican voter who refuses to
abandon his own party and who will
not vote for a Democrat candidate for
congress in a special election is for
the Kaiser and against the President
for Prussiansm and against liberty.

RED Cross NURSES KILLED
ny DEFECTIVE AMMUNITION

Senator Phelan Of California, Demo-
crat though ne is, has exposed the
weakness Of Josephus Daniels. The
secretary was making a statement be-
fore the committee on naval affairs
and the topic under consideration was
a series Of letters received by Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen of New Jersey in
which was described the defective I'M
munition provided for the armed mer-
chantment, especially for the Mon
golia, on board Of which two Red
Cross nurses were killed by the ex-
pIosion of an inferior she'll. Senator
Frelinghuysen had regarded these let
tiers as confidential. and in that sense
he had communicated them to Secre-
tary Daniels, from whom he was en-
d~eayofing 10 elicit some information
for the benefit of the committee. Mr..
Daniels lost his temper and exclaim-
ed that the letters emanated from
either a traitor or a spy" who, he
declared must have had access to the
files of the navy department. Obliyious
TO the obvious comment upon condi-
tions in his department, the secretary
was proceeding to animadversions up
on Senator Frelinghuysen's motives,
when Senator Phelan quietly broke in
with the query: Are you showing this
resentment because these things have
been made public or because they are
true?" The secretary admitted that
some of the allegations regarding the
defective shells were true, but he
continued his fulminations against the
source of the information.
This is a tender spot in the admins
trative departments everywhere. 1t is
sions of the Danielses and the others
like him and which arouses them to
frenzy of denunciation. Yet the truth
cannot always remain hidden. The
disclosure that there is someone in
the navy department who has access
TO the files and who has communicated
TO outsiders the knowledge which he
has gained there viii not be reassur-
ing either to congress or to the coun-
try and the investigation which will
be made Of conditions in that depart
ment will be carried into other de-
partments unless there is a speedy in
dication of a purpose to clean house
everywhere. These Investigations VIII
be made by congressional committees
whose animus will not be altogether
friendly-and the administration will
be the loser. If Mr.. Wilson had been
willing at the outset to accept the CO.
operation of a joint committee on the
conduct of the war such as the Weeks
Madden resolution calls for, much if
not all of this unpleasantness would
have been obviated. If the administra-
ton is unwilling to have congress CO.
operate. it should moi be resentful If
congress determines to investigate.

WOOL SUPPLY LOW
AND NEED GROWING

America needs only 600, 900. 900
pounds of wool annually for domestic
consumption.
Over half of this supply must be
brought from abroad, despite the fact
that millions of acres of American soil
are well adapted to sheep raising.
There are 13,000.0 900 fewer sheep in
the United States now than in 1900,
in the face of immense growth of wool
requirements and a mounting price in
that time.
We should have $50, 900, 900 sheep in
stead of less than so, 700, 900. Texas
had $1,000 900 sheep in 1888, but now
reports only $500, 600. Ohio had nearly
5000, 900 sheep in 1860, and was the
first sheep state in the union; but now
has only 10000
Almost every state shows a decisive
decline in wool production, large be-
cause of the belief of farmers that
Ihigh-priced land does not yield a profit.
The South alone could raise 80, 000, 900
sheep.
Texas, II it were fenced, could sup
ply all of the United States with wool.
The WORKOUT lands of New England
would support, easily, scores of mil
lions of sheep, and with great increase
in the fertility of the soil.
Waste lands of upper Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota and other
northern states would feed tens of
millions of sheep. With wool prices at
unprecedented heights, farmers should
turn to sheep as never before.-Mil-
waukee Journal.

REGISTER WOMAN
POWER OF The COUNTRY

The registration of the woman pow
er OF the country will begin July ]
and continue until July Is, and every
woman is expected to register in the
force that viii conserve the supply of
food, according 10 the program of or
ganization issued by Food Administra-
tor Herbert Hoover, following the di-
rection of President Wilson.
Every oma who registers will be
asked TO tell how how many + in
her family. On a window of every
household that becomes a unit in the
league for food conservation will be
hung the emblem Of the food admin
istratiOn-the shield of the United
States surrounded by wheat stalks.
Pledge for Housewives.
Each member of the voluntary or
ganization will be asked to sign the
following pledge:
Il am glad to join you in the SER
vice of food conservation for our ma
ton, and | hereby accept membership
in the United States food administra-
ton, pledging myself to carry out the
directions and advice of the food adj
ministration in the conduct of my
household in so far as my circumstan-
ces will permit"
Among the principal sacrifices the
members of the league are asked to
make will be to subsist on at least
one wheatless meal a day; to save one
loaf of bread a week; to discontinue
the use of butter in cooking; to save
at least 2 cents on every meal; to
serve smaller portions of meat; to
use more fish and vegetables; to use
foods of local origin, and, above all, to
live and preach the gospel of the
clean plate"
Save 81 O,OOO, 900 Yearly.
Following the Presidents determi-
nation not TO await action by Congress
to organize a volunteer food army, and
his instructions to Food Administrator
Hoover. the latter issued a statement
to the women of the country. He said
in part:
CAS- requested by the President, we
ask every woman in the United States
engaged in the personal control of
food to register for actual member
ship in the food administration, thus
entering directly into the national ser
vice. We shall, later on, ask various
classes of men, likewise engaged in
food preparation and distribution, also
to volunteer in the national service.
we must enter a period of sacrifice
for our country and for democracy.
Many must go into battle but many
can only remain at home. The worlds
food supply is short and many must
suffer. We have the major burden
of feeding the whole world.
"Since food will decide the war,
each American woman can do a real
national service by protecting the food
supply of the nation. Ninety per cent
of American food consumption passes
through the hands of our ome
no other field do small things, when
multiplied by our 100,0 900, 900 people,
count for so much.
"a pound of bread saved weekly for
each person will increase our export
surplus of wheat 100, 000, 900 bushels,
and an average saving Of 2 cents On
each meal a day for each person will
ave to the nation for war purposes
50, 900, 600, 900 per annum."

NINE LABOR MORATORIUM

Republican members have intro

ley of Oregon now comes forward

aside for the duration of the war the
provision of law that requires $500
worth Of labor or Improvements TO be
expended on a mining claim each year
until the patent is granted. The pas
