feeder sheep increased about a million
head, most Of the increase being In
western yards, altho Buffalo showed
slight increase. These increases, II IL
pointed out may forecast an increase
in the number of animals to be pre-
pared for market on farms during
1918.
Receipts OF sheep at stock yards In
December. 1917, show a slight increase
over those In December 1916. altho the
total for the year 1917 is smaller by
1,763,000 head.
Cattle receipts were large in 1917
December alone showing gain OF S7l.-
s2s over December, 1915. The large
decrease in hog receipts is due partly
to the unusually large receipts In 1919

records for hogs handled that year.

in Des Moines on . brief trip to his

The Junior Iowa senator spoke to q
large audience at Ankeny Thursday
night at . big patriotic meeting held
there. The gathering was attended by
Governor Harding, who spoke briefly,
state Senator ADDISON Parker and other
public men.
Senator Kenyon declared that the
great masses of the country have put
the welfare OF the nation and the win
ming OF the war above every other
consideration and that there will be no
party politics in the conduct Of the
war.
mo one has any right to do q single
thing to injure the cause of this
country" he said. 1T ID q time for pa
trlotic unity and action"
Senator Kenyon gave high praise to
Theodore Roosevelt and defended him
from the recent attack Of the gentle
man from Missouri" The former presf.
dent now has four sons In the war ana
he Is one Of the country's great patriots
he said. He declared that "Old Skin
flint Bill Stone" would not dare to
make his accusations to Roosevclt's
face he had made behind his back.
Belgian Atrocities.
The senator spoke Of the German
atrocities ne had inquired into during
his recent trip in Frace.
I'VE had better die with our women
folks right here at home than have
come to our country what has come
to Belgium and France and we will die
II we are red-blooded men before we
will let such fate come to the women
Of the dear old United States" he de-
clared.
He places great confidence in the
aeroplane as q means of winning the
war.
"The nation which loses control Of the
air loses the war;" he said. Ten thou
sand airshipso manned by American
youngsters would be able to do more
without hindrance to tho German mazes
of barbed wire than any other force
and such q fleet started on the way
to Berlin would be. a certain means OF
mailing the american flag to the pole
