CATTLE MARKET
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, March l9-Embargoes on livestock shipments held receipts down today, though there was fair run of cattle here, 6,500 head The market was strong to IS higher, best steers here fattened on beet pulp. selling at Sll.75, a record price for that class of cattle. Hogs today 1000, market Is higher at the start, top SIS. Sheep and lambs sold 10 to Is higher, receipts 6,5OO, top lambs Sl480.
 Beef Cattle.
 The price limit on prime steers has not been determined here recently, but it is somewhere around Sl250 for the right kind. Medium kinds at Sl0.25 to SIPS. and steers brought Sl0 today to killers very little better than stock cattle. Pulp steers made new high records today at S1l.75. weights l,234 pounds, drove of 66 head bringing that price, with other sales of that class at Sl085 to Sll.65, and some plain and rough pulp steers at S9.65 to Sl0.35. Two cars pulp fed bulls sold at S9.l0 today, l,5ll pounds average. One car of Oklahoma steers and heifers sold in the quarantine di- vision today at S1035, 629 pounds average a record price for that class. Cows, heifers and bulls were strong today, veal calves 5 higher, up to SIP.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Prices ruled 10 to Is higher first half of last week, but after the strike began to look threatening demand fell off, and the close was a quarter lower Demand is back to normal to- day, and the market is as high as Wednesday of last week, stock steers up to Sl0 today, feeders Sl0.50. Kill CTS bid on all fieshy feeders, and coun- try buyers have paid up to Sl070 in the last week
 Hogs.
 Early prices were highest today, sales up to SIS, bulk of sales, Sl44O to Sl49O. Railroad cmbargocs inter ruptcd shipping orders, and fewer hogs went to order buyers today as result. Receipts are not sufficient for the needs of killers, and packers here arc shipping in great many hogs bought at Omaha, Sioux City and Ft. Worth. The general belief is that the market will work higher, though not as rapidly as in the last few weeks.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 After some depression on lambs middle of last week the market has recovered, sales 10 to Is higher today, and the top only , cents under cx- trcme top of the season, reached first of last week. The good lambs sold at Sl475 and Sl4.S0 today, some fair to good lambs around Sl450, and heavy lambs worth around Sl42S Prime ewes arc worth Sl225, some Mexican wethcrs at SIP today. 70 pounds aver age. Feeding lambs sell at Sl5.25 to Sl4. shearing lambs slightly moro.

FUNSTON BEsTED THE COLD

CAMP FUNSTON, Kan, Dec. 10
The extreme cold of the last three
days put Camp Funston Gin the bal
ance," and it was not found wanting.
Weather which would terrify a regu-
lar army camp was conquered by the
steam heated barracks, warm cloth
ing and a general inclination on the
part of commanding officers to shield
their men from exposure not essential
to the maintenance of discipline.
When reports of the impending cold
snap were received there was general
uneasiness as to whether the heating
system would do all expected of it.
Steam pipes are carried out Of doors
with no protection except a heavy
insulation. 1t seemed that it would
be impossible to conserve the heat
with pipes exposed to zero weather.
Heavy insulation of rubber and &C.
ment tape, however, confined the
steam with undiminished regularity
and the barracks and outbuildings
were over-heated rather than under
heated.

RED CROSS DRIVE FOR
MEMBERSHIP ONLY

The Red Cross Membership drive
to be held in this city and in the coun-
ty the week of December II under
the managership of L. B. Haw-
thore, is for membership only. 1t is
not the purpose of the work at this
time to raise subscriptions but to
secure the names of all Americans as
associated with and behind this great
work.
Each home where there is a memb-
bership viii be supplied with a pa
per service flag for the window, bear
ing a red cross in the center. For
every additional membership in that
home an extra cross will be added to
the flag. 1t is planned that on
Christmas eve a candle viii be placed
behind each flag in order that all who
pass may see that residents Of the
home are affiliated in the work.
The cost of Membership in the Red
Cross is s1.00 a year. The drive at
this time is to secure 100000 men,
bers. Half of the membership money
remains in the local chapter to aid
them in securing supplies for the
local Red Cross work. The remainder
goes to finance the Red Cross setivi-
ties. Most of those serving in the
important directing departments Of
the work donate their time and thus
much heavy overhead expense is elm
mated. The movement is so organized
that all money IS made to go further
than under ordinary conditions.
Every man, wonnan and child with q
heart and q dollar can join the Red
Cross and help ElobOlEe the heart ard
soul Of America IN the united eho-1 a
our soldiers and sailors and q their
destitute families wherever they Ezy
be.

Mexico is practically without coal.
Both the local dealers and the Mexico

just when it will arrive is p~roblemati-

coupled with the engine trouble, due
to excessive cold, makes the outlook
rather dubious.
The Power Company received a car
Of coal Monday morning. Sunday they
hauled coal all day from the bins Of
the local plant of the international

continue running. The Elliott Stove
