Chicago, April Chickering'S of hogs
today proved to be more numerous than
had been looked for and the market ac-
cordingly declined.
Receipts of hogs at Chicago for the
week totaled $4,000, decrease of 49,

an increase Of 10000 compared with a
year ago and $4,000 compared with
two years ago, standing 10000 larger
than average run of the correspond
ing week in the past seven years.

week Of August 1915, and only .

previous week. % pounds heavier than

Cattle.
Cattle lacked quality.
There was some reaction on late
days las. week for most of the steers
below top grade but the best weighty
kinds suffered no decline at the close
because OF their scarcity and the
urgent need for them. Bulk Of the fair
to good arrivals finished 25@50 cents
higher than a week ago while the best
offerings scored 1895 cents gain.
When it came to the light grades

Average price for the week OF 1888
was so cents higher than the previous
week which was a record up to that
time and $3.50 higher than same week
last year. General quality was good
altho there was an increased proper
ton Of light stock on hand and a
smaller quota OF choice to prime
weishty animals.
Packers were best buyers especially
Of the choice to prime heavy lots, but
eastern order buyers were liberal COM
petitors for the medium to good lots

Chicago, April 22.-Lioeral receipts

Happy Youth.

It is SO easy to say the word that
checks laughter; to scowl at the exu-
berance that bubbles over in foolish
girl and boy jests. 1t is difficult for us
of an older generation to remember
how, when we were young, we loved
to laugh and sing and dance and make
merry. Youth is SC sensitive and it is
so easy to spoil an evening with just
a glance or an impatient word. When
one comes in, glowing from a wonder
full evening a querulous voice or a
faultfnding word is like sticking a pin
into a a balloon. Sympathy is so
much better. Even If youth is head
strong the faultfinding does not do very
much good, but often harm. But SYM
patty gains confidence, and confidence
between the young and the old Is O
great safeguard for youth and well
worth cultivating.

BOY
@
Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America.)
cHIvALRY OF THE SCOUT

Chivalry is the birthright of the
American boy. He may be a boy in
the rough, unused to the civilities of
life, but there Is instinctively the throb
of chivalry in his youthful heart that
prompts him to do c%reditable things.
During the recent cold weather.
when the streets were like glass, says
a Memphis official, a woman fell. A
gentleman went to her assistance,
and passed on. \
Near the Nineteenth Century club
another woman fell. Two boy scouts
were passing. Both went at once to
the rescue. The lady was assisted to
her feet. One of the scouts drew from
his pocket a handkerchief. The snow
was brushed from her dress, and In
spite of her protests that she coul
take care of herself and that she was
not hurt, these young American gentle
men, one ON each side of her, escorted
her to her front door and would not
leave until they saw her In good hands.
Here is what the boy scout move
ment Is doing to our young Americans.
1t is showing them the responsibilities
of manhood while they are yet boys.
1t is showing them that the great les
son Of life is to look after and care
for others.
Too much cannot be said in ON
mendation of the boy scout movement.
1t has already so developed the
courtesy Of the boy that his neighbors
look upon him as a protector and a
friend to be relied upon when neces-
sitY demands.

SCOUTS WILL PLANT EARLY.


The Boy Scouts of America did fair
ly well at this feeding-the-soldier bus
mess last year, considering they got
into 1t rather late, but this year they
hope to do twice as well, now that
they know precisely how important
food conservation and production is in
this matter of war winning, which con-
Germs all so vitality.
There is every eason to believe that
scouts are ready and eager to get at
their new gardens, but they will need
constructive, intelligent leadership to
obtain the best results.
Not the smallest bit of enthusiasm
or effort should be permitted to go to
waste. Conservation Of this sort is Of
the utmost Importance.
In 1918 there shouldn't be "any such
animal as the vacant lot, and scouts
can scarcely do better service than by
helping in the determination process.
Get on the trail of the vacant lot. 1t
Is fair scout game.

The scouts are represented In all
branches, the report says.
The scout membership in Philadel-
phia totals $500, and represents about
one-tenth of the youth Of the city avail
able for scout duty.
Every effort will be made to enroll
every youth in the city scout move
ment. There Is war work for all, In
Guiding the Liberty loan, War Savings
stamp, Red Cross and various other
campaigns which are being held from
time to time In which the scouts have

ON ROAD TO DESTRUCTION
Specific Time Appointed for the
Earth's Ending, but It Is Still
Some Few Years.

Apparently all is off
This little old battle-scarred earth,
q mere clay marble among the billiard
balls of the great solar systems, is
headed for the giant sun, Vega, and
humping itself at a gait of 540,000,000
miles a year!
But there is no justification for that
instant desire to get off and walk, says
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. We
need not worry about what will hap
pen when our speedy little sphere
reaches its present destination. 1t will
be our descendants of 180,000,O00
years hence that will be yelling for
a transfer to some other line. And
even when that time comes there is a
possibility that Vega will have side
stepped or dueked, so we can whiz
right by.
So. s. L. Boothroyd, associate pro-
lessor Of astronomy at the University
of Washington, teld a large audience
of men and women recently, in a lee.
tnre on 1.-THE Nebulae of the Stars"
The eclipse of the sun, which will
be almost complete in Seattle on June
8 next, will be one Of the most re-
markable sights ever permitted man
to see, declared Professor Boothroyd.
The astronomers, with powerful tel
escapes, can witness an eclipse every
SO hours, If they wish to. The star
Algol, which Is a huge sun, and is 10.
Gated in the northern heavens at this
time of the year, In the sword hand OF
Perseus, is eclipsed every 58 hours by
q dark star that passes between 1t
and the earth. This accounts, says
Professor Boothroyd, for the fact that
Algol will gradually grow dim, and
then, within a few minutes, flash up
BRIGHTLY again.
New worlds and suns are In process
of creation in the heavenly nebulae,
said Professor Boothroyd. The rare
fed gases composing the nebulae, and
which consist of atomic particles less
complex than the atoms of iron and
mercury on our sphere, are gradually
becoming more dense. After countless
ages they become solid planets, or
some cataclysm of the heavens may so
heat the particles composing them that
they become suns.

SCOUTS KEEP OUT OF COURT.

The judge of the juvenile court IN
Portsmouth, O., has named scout
Executive Kinsey as n of the pro-
stationary officers to deal entirely with
delinquent boys. The judge made the
statement that In his year and half
in the Juvenile court he had never had
a scout appear before him for trial.
He hopes to interest these boys | n
scout work, which he feels would mean
a great reduction of juvenile delin-
Quancy.
