Chicago, Dec. 4.-Falling off in the
number of arrivals today resulted IN
higher prices for hogs.

The supply of cattle was curtailed
and prices ruled firm.
AS packers are accommodating beef for
holiday trade they paid more attention
than recently to good bullocks. Much
of the crop was short fed stuff selling
at $11612, which did not return initial
cost in many cases. Few were good
enough to pass sl4 and there was big
showing Of sSG10.50 stuff. Country
demand for thin cattle was slack yard
traders having carried over a lot OF
light stuff. which looked IS cents per

Chicago, Dec. Corn tagged along

statement of the food administration
that it seems desirable to regulate
prices from the producer to the re-
taller. This feeling brought Increased
selling on the bulge and prices set
tied back and closed below the level or
last night Cash values were quoted
unchanged to cents higher, the mar
ket exhibiting little sign of urgent buy

gress is an appeal to patriotic instincts
and can hardly be regarded as bUllish.
Oats-The general demand for oats
from commission houses and local
bulls made a sharply higher opening

WILSON MESSAGE
ST|RS CONGRESS
CONTINUED From Page One.]
Justice Demands Great Price.

Our entrance Into the war mas not
altered our attitude toward the settle
ment that must come when it is over.
When / said in January that the ma
tions Of the world were entitled not
only to free pathways on the seas Dut
also to assured and unmolested priv
leges to these pathways. l was think
ing not alone of the small nations but
also Of the powerful nations, and also
Of our enemy. l was thinking and am
thinking now of Austria herself, among
the rest, as we'll as Of Serbia and Of
Poland. Justice and equality Of rights
can be had only at a great price. We
are seeking permanent foundations for
the peace of the world. AS always the
right will prove to be the expedient.
What shall we do, then, to push this
great war of freedom and justice to its
righteous conclusion? We must clear
away all impediments to success and
we must make every adjustment Of law
that will facilitate the free use OF our
whole capacity Of force as a fighting
unit.
Austria Not Own Mistress.
Zone very embarrassing obstacle Is
| that we are at war with Germany but
not with her allies. therefore recon-
| mend that congress declare a state Ut
| war between the United States and
| Austria -Hungary.
| Austria Hungary is for the time be-
ing not her own mistress but simply
the vassal Of the German government
| The government Of Austria -Hungary Is
not acting upon its own initiative or In
response to the wishes of it's own peo-
pie"
| 1--WE must meet its force with our
own and regard the central powers ar
but one. The war can be successfully
! conducted in no other wav. The eane
logic would lead also to a declaration
OF war against Turkey and Bulgaria
! They also are tools Of Germany But
they are mere tools and do not stand
in the direct path OF our necessary ac-
ton. We shall go wherever the neces
sites OF this war carry is hut It seems
to me that we should go only where
immediate and practical confederation
lead us and not heed any other.

would represent famous hog pro-
ducing region of days gone by. For
many years farmer after farmer in
this section Of large farms made 1t a
practice to raise and feed for the mar
ket hundreds Of hogs. Some Of these
men sold out and moved away to other
parts Of the country. others retired
from active life or having fulfilled
their earthly missions, passed on, and
present day residents tell the visitor
that this form OF farm production has
diminished somewhat in recent years
but nevertheless this Is still hog
country OF considerable pretentiens,
for the Stilwells, Cravers, Johnsons
and other big hog raisers OF the old
days are still here and some new men
of the kind are appearing from time to
time and proving themselves worthy
successors Of those whose places they
have taken.
If anybody would be competent to
talk on the subject Of hog production
these days 1t ought to be these men
who have made 1t a feature Of their
life work. A few Of them were asked
in regard to the probable results Of the
campaign now on all over the country
to increase the states production OF
hogs next year and the answers given
represent the farmer view Of the sit

The first man Intercepted, one OF
the old timers, mentioned above point
ed to a fine hog house in process OF
construction and remarked in effect,
That Is my idea Of the proper method
to increase the production OF pork-to

equip our other two houses with stoves
and other apparatus to enable us to

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Corn hardened in

by the fact that predictions of larger

of the oats market counted in favor of
the bulls. The opening which was un-

Must Be Secured to Produce Three
Million Increase in Hog Supply
Iowa farmers have been asked by
Uncle Sam and the food administra-
ton at Washington, headed by Herbert

over three million more hogs for next
year than were produced this year.
With the world short 100000 hogs
and 15,000,000 increase needed in
America for next year to feed the
armies. allies and home folks, the ma

feeding center in the world, for 1t to
shoulder about one fifth Of the burden.

Chicago Boy, En- Route to France, Sent
Home to SUPPORT Parents

Chicago, Dec 4.-After having been
100 miles at sea on his way to France.
Erwin Sweiger is back at his home in
this city. When called by the exemp-
ton board he did not claim exemption
and went to the cantonment at Rock
ford. He was sent from there to Mine
ola, and there volunteered for immedi-
ate service in France. In the mean
time his father was injured in a rail-
road accident and the mother was left
without means of support. The war de-
partment sent a wireless to the troop
ship, which was stopped, and Sweiger
was brought back and returned to his
home.
