PRICES In MARKET

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Closing prices for
hogs today were 80 cents higher than
last Saturday when the best choice
hogs could do was slj.7O. The bear
raid was checked by moderate re-
ceipts.

to the short receipts during the week

NAL supply comes in next week. The
local run today was posted at 25,00J
with comparatively few reported at
other western points.
Cattle trade was higher this week
than last but prices today were y

pected to be set back with a crop
Of about 5000 which is looked for
next week.

Camp Grant, Ill. Feb. 1.-when a

try was detailed to carry a dis
patch from his regimental head
quarters to the divisional school of

In a house to house search for
the war college headquarters the
corporal entered the camoufiage
building, and, finding no one to
answer his Eail, climbed the stairs
leading to the unusual workroom
where selective artists air their
deceptive ideas. Climbing in the
half light of late afternoon, the
dispatch bearer topped the stairs
and was confronted by a helmeted
officer whose head and shoulders
lowered above work table.
The corporal came to salute.

himself face to face with Wilhelm

worlds freedom.
