HUMBOLDT BOY A
 BOOSTER FOR ARMY LIFE
(From Thursdays Daily)

Chester A. Knight of Humboldt IS one of the Yavapai county boys who has enlisted in the ranks of the coast artillery and is at present stationed in the camp at Angel Island, San Fran cisco bay. In writing to his father w. H. Knight, the young cannoneer has the following interesting things to say regarding his new station in life:
 'I am a soldier now. This is sure the life alright Today I received my uniform and now feel like a seasoned fighter We expect to be here for the next few weeks, and will then be sent to San Diego, we believe. Uncle Sam is feeding we fellows fine and the slackers in the various parts of the country don't know what they arc missing by hanging back Everything is as clean as can be about the camp, and we enjoy very much the facilities which are provided for our comfort by the Y. NJ. C. A.
 To-day we were all Vaccinatcd for typhoid and our arms arc pretty sore. I have just taken out S5,000 worth of the governments life insurance, at the rate Of S3S7 month. After the war l can continue to carry this amount at the same rate
 'We think that some of us will be sent 10 Maryland in few weeks, but whether I will be lucky enough to make the trip I do not know. We are all feeling fine and l am as happy as a boy with a pair of new rcd-top boots"

CATTLE MARKET.
Special Correspondence.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Nov. 1o.-Cattle receipts today were 25,0O0 head, following 92,OO0 cattle and ll,0OO calves last week, market steady to strong, some COW sales 10 higher Hog supply was 5000. mar ket steady to lower, top Sl775. Sheep and lambs today 5000, market 10 to IS higher, range lambs Sl7.35, choice fed Westerns worth Sl7.50 or better
 Beef Cattle.
 Good fed cattle were again lacking, best cattle here some caked natives at Si3.25. and caked Westerns Sl265. These cattle sold higher than last week, an danything with a semblance of merit sccls good, notwithstanding the apparent heavy run. A large per ccntage of the supply in the last two weeks has been canner cows from dry points in the Southwest, and these sold SO cents lower at the finish last week, though a little stronger today. sales at S450 to S5.50 Many good young COWS are selling to packers at canner prices that would do well either as breeders or in a,fccd lot, a good buy for anyone having feed. Good range cows sell at S675 to S8.50, best heavy COWS Sl0, Colorado beef steers SlO to Sl1. vcals $9 to SIP.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Feeders sell strong, best stockcrs in fair demand, plain stockers slow. The same distinction ruled last week, but total outgo was heavy for the season. at 5000 head. Various sections of the country report considerable quan- titles of unmcrchantablc soft corn. and owners of same are buying stock to consume it, hence good demand for feeders, which sell at So50 to Sll75. Stock steers bring g to S9.50.
 Hogs.
 Receipts continue only fraction of normal supply, or of the offerings at this time last year. hence lower prices are out of the question. though packers try to enforce declncs at every excuse. Today Chicago had 48,000 hogs, reason for lower prices according to the argument, but sales here were mostly steady, best heavy weights Sl775, equal to best price last week. best medium weights Sl770, best lights SEAS, bulk Sl7.35 to Sl7.70, pig sales Sl7 to Sl7.50. Inn munc stock hogs arc selling at what some term inflated prices, Is to lo cents a pound, but they find an ample outlet. Owners of minimizing plants arc searching constantly for pigs to vaccinate, hence the high price of pigs at the stock yards.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 Fat lambs arc making good prog rcsS upwards, though no strictly choice fed Westerns have been offer ed as yet That kind arc worth Sl7.50 today, some range lambs at the top, Sl7.35, plain killing lambs around Sl7, half fat Westerns selling unsatiSfac torily to shippers. Fat ewes bring Sll. Some feeding lambs arc avail able at Sl6.50 to Sl7, and breeding ewes sell at S10.5O to Sl4.

Small Investors Urged to Share
y In War Loan to Insure Prosperity
President of National Bank of Commerce Says Credits viii
Be Freely Offered to Facilitate Purchase
of Liberty Bonds

Urging individual investors to share
in the $4,000, 100000 Liberty Loan so
that the banks may keep their re-
sources liquid and insure continued
business prosperity, James s. AleNan-
der, president of the National Bank
of Commerce, said yesterday that

with the entry of the United
States into the war" declared Mr.
Alexander. who is also a member of
the Liberty Loan Committee, "our
government decreed full cooperation
with our allies and that every resource
Of the United States in men, material
and money should be used TO the full
est extent needed, and our people
throughout the length and breadth of
the land have Endorsed the stand taken
by the government. To do our part
will require enormous sums of money,
which must be raised by levying taxes
and by bond issues.
Must Safeguard Business
"lf the taxing programme of the
government is to produce revenue TO
the extent estimated, business must
be fostered and be continued on a
profitable basis, and the incentive to
do usiness-namely, prohts-must be
maintained. Any substantial curtail-
ment of banking credits results
promptly in lessened business activ-
ity, and during the period of radical
readjustment now in process it is es-
sential that no problem of adequate
supplies of money to conduct legiti-
mate business should exist. Ample
assurance should be had that banking
credits will not be curtailed from ne
cessity or otherwise"
Mr.. Alexander was confident that the
resources of the banks, supplemented
by the enormous and as yet almost
untouched resources of the Federal
Reserve banks, will be more than suf-
ficient for all business demands and
for all the purposes of the Liberty
Loan.

Guaranty Trust Company, who recent

urging subscription to the Liberty
