Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Nebr., June %, 1917.-Cattle receipts
were not heavy for a Tuesday, about
$500 head, and the quality of the Of,
ferings was very fair. All classes Of
buyers were decidedly bearish in their
views and prices ranged from weak to
fully 1O@15c lower than Monday. No
choice heavy cattle were offered but
prime yearlings registered a new top
of $3.50. Cows and heifers were
very slow, 5Oc@$1.OO lower than last
week. Stockers and feeders were dull
and unchanged.

A 10c Decline in Hogs.
There was another rather liberal
run of hogs, 1920 head, and another
decline of about 1Oc in prices, 800
Csc decline for the two days. Pack
ers still favor the heavy and butcher
hogs, and tops of this kind brought
$15.45, the bulk of the trading being
around $14.9O@1525. The general
tone to the market was very weak at
the finish
Sheep Steady to Lower.
A run Of about 1890 sheep and
lambs showed up today, but the small
supply apparently had no stimulating
influence on the trade. Packers had
fair orders to fill, but their bios were
lower and the trade very SLOW. Best
spring lambs brought $3.50 and best
shorn yearlings $1575.

DOGS ARE SUCCESS IN WAR
Who Have Lost Their
Eyes;eht.

Wash!n:ron.-Ti.a war is about to
provide another duty for dogs. These
canine friends Of nan are already per.
forming with u,tra-satiSfactior q great
variety OF tasks on the harr!etieltl> and
in the trenches and training cen;ers.
II remained for an atten .;.!lt at one
Of the 1rainin: schools for the blind
soldiers Of France to discover that
dogs might be used for guiding soldiers
who have lost their eyeSisht. After a
series of training experiments with
dogs picked up on the streets OF Paris.
the results have been found to be truly
astonishing. The natural habits of the
dog have been successfully subordi.
mated to its purposes in guiding the
men. One Of the dogs. selected at ram
dom. guided blindfolded officer for q
distance of two miles without accident.
Coming to fence under which the dog
might easily pass. he would. instead,
60 around the obstruction. Boulders
and holes placed in the path were ne
gotiatea by the dog turning abruptly
with a tug on his leash as a sort Of
signal. The obstruction passed, he
would again return to the path.

WOMEN At WORK IN ENGLAND
Not Fewer Than 100000 Are Employed
In Munition Factories Alone,
Says French Writer.

Baroness de Brimont offers In
the Revue de Paris figures for the num-
Der Of women employed in England
which she affirms she has verified by
reference to official sources. No few.
er than 100000 are in the munition fac
tories; 100000 are employed in con-
nection with army and navy camps
or establishments; 100000 in stores;
10000 in secretarial work; 111,000 in
garment making; and 100000 in trans
portation, or in metal shops not en-
gagged in munition making.
Below the hundred thousand mark
the totals, beginning with nearly 10000
engaged in agriculture, run down to
10000 women engaged in the printing
and binding trades. Not fewer than a
million are engaged in war-work. Es-
Inmates made some time ago by writer's
like Mrs. Humphry Ward, indicate that
the Frenchwoman's computation is
conservative.
The baroness, and commentator in
L'Opinion, point out that the partici-
patton Of women in industry in France
In consequence Of the war is less ex-
tensive. Not only the totals show it;
the breadth Of the English movement
is indicated by the unparalleled
strength Of organizations like the Ma
tional Union Of Woman Workers and
woman police, and its solidity by the
more national working basis-the week
being shorter than in France, Sunday
more inflexibly observed, and rest-pe
RODS more frequent.
