The War Has Created New Industry
" for Kansas.

The War Has Created New industry
for Kansas.
Kansas has started a new industry
in consequence Of war pressure and
demands. Two packing plants are at
work making use Of a plethora Of jack
rabbits to add to the states wealth
and resources. Two rabbits are being
killed with one stone in this manner.
The rabbit, has become a pest In
number OF places in the Sunfower
state. It destroys crops and young
fruit trees. Yhe farmers would not
object to what it eats, but it, renders
useless much more than 1T consumes.
Now there will be steady market all
the year round and the hunter Is ex-
pected to keep down the pest to his
own profit.
A naturalist and hunter asks why
not include in the war conservation
measures the ever present muskrat.
In the marsh lands there are enormous
numbers of them killed for their fur
every season. mo use is made Of the
carcass. Prejudice. Yet the muskrat
is cleanly and lives exclusively on
vegetables. Muskrat flesh is tender
as hunters will make affidavit, and II
much better eating than squirrel OF
rabbit.-Rocky Mountain News.

Chicago. Dec. 26.-Corn-Corn was
dull but firm, being helped by better
cash demand and a higher oats market
There was little broader inquiry In the
cash market, industries and shippers
competing for todays moderate re-
ceipts. The general belief is that stocks
of grain in the country are so liberal
that receipts may be expected to In
crease with the supply Of cars aug
mented by the recent liberty turn over
from eastern roads The trade. how
ever, has been so long disappointed In
respect to the movement that little
pressure is exerted on future contracts.
Oats-Oats were sharply higher on
covering by December shorts. Inc
distant deliveries made new high levels
holding strong thruout the day. Ele-
vator interests bought in the cash mar
kets on the basis of May, ana prices
were quoted II to ~ cents higher.
Stocks were firm early in the day,
but. Influenced by rumors OF federal
control of the railroads. Immediately
sold sharply lower. Earnings are we'll
maintained, as shown by regular divl-
dend payments on nearly all OF the
leading securities, but the Russian
situation casts gloom over the polltlcai
and financial affairs of all the aiiled
powers.
