MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Deem
Der Is, 1917. Cattle receipts today
were 10000 head, market draggy and
lower on steers, and full and lower on
cows and heifers, and steady, dull to
lower on stockers and feeders. Hogs
today 10000 market slow and ten
lower, top S16-20. Sheep and lambs
5000, market steady, top $16.25.
Beef Cattle
The beef steer trade began late and
the feeling was dull to unevenely low
er prices. Killers only came out to
fill local orders. Some weighty steers
sold late at $500. The supply of
range cattle was smaller, coming
from Oklahoma, New Mexico and Col
orado. Sales on these at noon ranged
under s1100. The same attitude was
displayed toward cows and heifers.
Suckers and Feeders
Stockers and feeder receipts were
limited, and trading was dull with a
lower tendency. Traders had a very
liberal accumulation on hand and COM
plain of the small country demand.
Some Panhandles sold to-day at So,
and fedeers at SO, which looked barely
steady.
Hogs
The hog market today opened very
slowly, few loads sold early to ship
pers at steady prices. Receipts loo
ally and in the west were compare
lively heavy, some of the markets had
big followers, which had it's effect on
this market. Choice heavy hogs were
scarce, the supply being mostly butch
er and mixed hogs.
Sheep and Lambs
The trade In muttons today was
fairly active and the price ruled
steady. Killing sheep were compar-
atively scarce and packers showed
good demand for the offerings. Top
on lambs today $16.25. Feeders slow
and in poor demand.

A CORRECTION

Dear Editor:
An article in the Reporter last week
stated: Steve Beason was down from
Collyer consulting with the exemp-
ton board"
The article seems to intimate that
1 wished to be exempt However this
may not have been the intention of the
writer.
The fact is that did not go to Wa
Keeney to consult with the exemption
board; neither did consult with the
board while there.
consider it my duty to enter the
military ranks with the rest of the
boys when my number is called, with
out making any plea for exemption
Respectively,

~PEACE ON EARTH"

Ring out anew, most sacred bells, thy
story as of old.
Of Angels bending near the earth who
touched their harps of gold,
And through the cloven skies they
sent their messages to earth
Fortelling them to all mankind of
Christ our Saviors birth.
Tell once again with sacred chimes,
the gift unto the world.
That caused the Angels to decend on
peaceful wings unfurled
And bid the shepherds, by their flocks,
follow the Holy Star;
To worship Christ the new born King,
in that strange land afar.
peace to the earth, good will to men, "
the hallowed Angles sang,
And still it echoes round the world
AS then the praises rang.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife,
the world is suffering.
Why do these men of war not cease,
And praise the gracious King
How swift the time is fastening on
which prophets have foretold,
Then, will We be prepared to meet the
Shepherd of the fold?
Oh! hasten Angels from on high to
stop the noise of sin,
That our al1-gracious King might
grant eternal peace within.
