very gratifying. Much oncer has

LAMBS BRING RECORD PRICE
Clipped Western Lambs Fed in Mis- souri Bring Top of the Market $16.75

St. Louis, May 29.-C. L. Plum, a leading farmer and stockman of Aud rain county, Mo-, was on the market today with deck of clipped western lambs of his own feeding, which con sisted of IA head that weighed 79 lbs and brought $16.75, price never reahed on this market until today. This was strictly good lot of lambs and showed that they had been in the care of one who knew how to make them attractive to the buyers. MT Blum was highly pleased with the price he received and said that he had about 1000 head still at home and if he got as much for them as he re- ceived today he certainly would be we'll satisfied. He purchased these lambs last fall and the gain made by them is one that was quite satisfac- tory. Mir. Blum annually feeds several hundred lambs and says that one year with another they are the best paying proposition he can find.

ment, and though some selling has been done by sample, trading has been restricted thereby. Buying is going forward slowly in the west, as grow CTS keep fully abreast of the advances noted in the east. Fully 75 per cent of the early contracts have already been turned over to manufacturers. New territory wools are coming for ward slowly, and enough has not yet been done in them to establish a mar ket. There is so little wool to come on the open market this year that no one expects any break in prices.
 New England mills are well em- ployed, with civilian orders being crowded to the rear. Government specifications have not been officially modified, but in practice this has been done, as the Quartermaster's Depart ment is accepting goods that have a substantial percentage of cotton, shod- dy, noils and waste. It is recognized that there is not enough wool of the desired grades in the country to sup ply increased army needs.--Brad- streets.

SUPPORT THIS BILL

The Chicago Live Stock Exchange troduced by MT. Heating on April 2, 1917, in the House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, is one of merit and would prove very beneficial to the producers and shippers of live stock throughout the country, recommends that all such producers and shippers communicate with the United States representative from their district, urging support in having this bill reported favorably from the committee and later enacted into law:
 H. R. Bill No. 130-Prescribing cer- tain duties for carriers subject to the act to regulate commerce, and for other purposes.
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Unit ed States of America in Congress as- sembled: That from and after the passage of this act it shall be the duty of all carriers subject to the act to re- gulate commerce, approved February 4, 1887, and all acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, to demand of the party legally liable therefor payment of all the charges for any service in the transportation of property within ninety days from the time of the delivery of the ship ment: If any carrier subject to the acts aforesaid shall willfully and knowingly fail or neglect to demand within the time aforesaid payment of all charges, it shall be deemed guilty

Col. Breen, of the Coconino Sun, who is also colonel of the Flagstaff home guards, is out in circular let ter suggesting some uniform organi- zation of all the guards in the state If the home guards are to render any effective service in case of need it is essential there should be controlling head just the same as in the regular army, and there ought to be regular army units of companies and regi- ments, fully officered. Perhaps two full regiments of home guards could be formed in the state-one in the north and one in the south--in which event brigade officers should be chosen to command. Col. Breen's suggestions seem practical, but he wants to hear from others in the state who are in terested in the home guard organiza- tions, and he suggests they communi- cate with Forest Supervisor J. D. Guthrie, of Flagstaff, who has con- sented to handle all correspondence as acting adjutant.-Winslow Mail.

A "WET' WORLD VS.
 A "DRY" WORLD

There is one thing in connection with the present world struggle which has attracted little or no attention. At least we do not remember to have seen the point mentioned in any of the exchanges. It will be. recalled that the British, French and Russian governments have all banished the "booze"-at least for the period of the war. Already the order has gone forth that "booze" is to be banished from the United States armies and some of the enthusiastic prohibition ists of the country have visions and dreams as to day in the near future when the United States shall become entirely "dry." ..... But we do not recall having seen any statements to the effect that the Kaiser has issued an order banishing beer from the German armies. In- deed, we have an idea that if he had taken any steps of this nature it would not have been long before the world would have witnessed the down. fall and doom of that Kaiser.
 Apparently the world is soon to witness lineup of the armies of the "drys" against the armies of the "wets." It has always been the con- tention of our "booze-fghting friends" that liquors helped man to fight. If the Kaiser wins it will go long ways towards proving the contention of the "wets." If the Allies win it will go a long ways towards proving the con tention of the "drys." And quite naturally we shall all watch the final issues with breathless interest.

RANGE OF SHEEP PRICES

Diplomatic relations between buy CTS and sellers were covered in the sheep-house Monday when the form CT came out with the announcement, by way of bids, that about a dollar break in spring and wooded lamb val ues and 50@75c slump, in the main, on shorn lambs, yearlings and matur- ed muttons expressed their feelings as to the way the days business should be conducted.
 In fathering demands for such de- clines buyers asserted that the public was refusing to buy the dressed prod uct at the exorbitant prices which hoof cost necessitates, and that, in view of 5000 head run at Louisville Monday the appearance of a gob of around 4,000 natives at St. Louis and swelling native marketings else where, the time for a sharp downward revision of prices was ripe. Local receipts totaled a scant 10,- 900 head, including three loads of goats from the Southwest and two loads of native stock from Cincinatti and Louisville direct to packers. Only seven loads of the crop came from the big feeding stations around Chi cago. Michigan contributed about twenty loads of shorn fed western lambs and there was showing of na- tive and fed western stock from the interior. Two loads of wooded Cobra do-fed lambs and three other loads of fed westerns appeared in the fleece, as did a deck of plain wooded ewes. Practically everything else being shorn.
 Sales of dry-fed shorn lambs made around and shortly after noon were called 25@35c lower than the close last week. The. Parkham clippers at S16.25 were regarded as hardly as de- sirable as the Parham lambs at S1660 on Friday. A six-car string of good 900 ID. Michigan feds went at S16.25 and two loads of very good 80-lb. fed westerns at $16.50. Others were un- sold at 1:30 o'clock.
 Some fed western lambs in the fleece at $17 looked like probable SIS goods late last week, though "gamb- Ter" kind, the actual value of which was difficult to determine. Other wool ed Coles of higher dressing kind were unsold late on sharply lower bids than last week.
 Best spring lambs went s1.00 below packer levels of last Friday, selling at $19.00, while a plainer kind sold at S1S.5O.
 Native shorn ewes at $1350 were equally as desirable as $14@14.25 kinds Friday and culls were dead dull, with s6.50@8.0O buying a common to fair sort. A few good wooded native ewes went at $15 and best wooded bucks at SIS, good to choice shorn bucks at $12@12.25.
 Quotations below are for shorn stock, spring lambs excepted:
 Lambs, fair to best springs s17.50 @19.00.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, May 2S, 1917.-Cattle footed up 15,500 today, not counting HOO calves, good many stockers from dry spots in Texas and Oklahoma included, market steady on the best, weak on others, top $13.50. Hogs today 10000, lower at the opening, 10 to 15 lower at the close, top SIG. Sheep, lambs and goats, 9500, half goats, market slow and un- evenly lower, spring lambs $19.
 Beef Cattle Steady
 Four head of Kansas steers 1870 lbs. av., sold at S13.50, the top, gross ing S901.00. Good Nebraska steers brought SIS, other natives S12.75, pulp steers $12.S5, these cattle not far from steady. Bulk of the pretty good steers sold at S11.50 to $12.25, around 10 lower, lower grades at the same decline, down to $10.25. A shipment of Arizona cattle today included heif- CTS at $9.00. Fifty cars of quarantine cattle arrived, including steers of all grades from $8.25 to SIP, and full load of veal calves weighing 175 lbs at $14.25, new high record for quar- antine veals. Butcher cattle are hold ing around steady, cows up to SIPS, bulls $10.50, heifers S12.50. Prospects favor steady prices this week for best cattle, but other will probably work lower. May cattle receipts will total largest on record here, 150, 900 cattle and 15,000 calves.
 Stockers and Feeders Break
 The recent break of 50 to 75 cents on stock steers did not prevent a good run of that class today. Dry spots in the Southwest drove in some cattle, and they met pretty good demand, prices not far from steady, most of the stock steers at $S.25 to 5000. Fancy yearlings bring more, and feed CTS sell at S9.25 to S10.5O, fleshy steers still reaching S11 sometimes.
 Hogs Still Up A reduced supply of hogs today failed to divert the efforts of packers to break prices. Shippers and yard traders paid up to $16 early, around lower, but packers bid IS to 20 low CT, and finally got their hogs 10 to 15 lower, bulk of sales S15.10 to S15.S5. Combined receipts at Western mar kets this morning were 30% less than same day last year, and 10e6 less than a week ago, and it is expected that the mraket will take a turn for the better within a day or two. Pig re- ceipts are light, and prices are hold ing up, $13.50 to $14.75. A few rough heavies are coming, but it is hoped that the summer run of sows will be lighter than usual, for the sake of the fall pig crop.
 Sheep, Lambs and Goat
 Receipts were 9500, market sharply lower on all kinds. Packers have been primed for an attack several days, and the arrival of more than 4000 goats naturally brought softening of values, recently highest ever heard of. Arizona spring lambs sold around S19, some low class native spring lambs s15.50, clipped lambs worth up to S16.75. Slick haired brusher goats sold around $9, brusher Angoras at $10 to $10.50, fat angoras around s10.50. -.

POOR DAY FOR SIGHTSEEING

Last Friday Bobby Burns drove De- putty U. s. Marshal, Weige, out to Spring Valley in his tin beetle, to make the arrest of Dick Shultz. 1t was poor day for sightseeing with the pouring rain, but nevertheless the gentlemen report having taken in all the side trips, with the result that they did not reach their destination until rather late in the day. It had been predicted that Schultz would re- sist arrest, but no difficulty was ex- perienced. Coming back, the beetle demonstrated that it is no water bug, but consented to carry the men on solid land, provided they carried it across the boggy places.-Williams news.

WOOL

Stimulated by the probability of a 10 per cent duty on wool and pressing needs of manufacturers securing gov ernment contracts, wool buying con- tinues on large scale in Boston, with further price advances noted. Owing to limited stocks of domestic wool, most business has been in South American grades, with a fair amount of Cape combing wool also changing hands. Apparently, trading has been limited only by scarcity of the wools desired. Wool-scouring concerns are overwhelmed with work and have been obliged to decline to book any more orders until August. Millions of pounds of wool are awaiting treat
