NOTICE TO OWNERS OF HOGS

Section Al, Ordnance No. 80, Of the
Ordinances Of the City Of Liberal,
provides that it shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation to
rear or keep any swine within the
corporate limits of the city Of Liberal.
On account Of the unusual conditions
existing the officers have not strictly
enforced this ordinance during the
past winter months. With the COM
ing Of warmer weather, however, the
reasons for the strict enforcement Of
this ordinance is apparent to every
one. In order that no special hard
ship may accrue to anyone on ac-
count Of immediate sale or disposal of
any swine that they may now be
keeping within the limits Of the city,
such parties and the public in general
are hereby notified that commencing
with the LIST day Of April, 1918, the
provisions Of this ordinance will be
strictly enforced by the officers Of the
city, and all persons are notified and
warned to dispose Of any swine that
they may now be keeping contrary to
the ordinance within the city limits.
Section 20 of said ordinance pro-
yided that tshall be, unlawful for any
person to permit their fowls to run
atL large in said city between the 1st
day Of April and the LIST day of Sep

cars.
In>the western part of Kansas and
eastern Colorado there has beer
some buying during the week and
sales have reported at $340 down to
500; $3.50 and up is paid for better
gardes of corn. Western Kansas sta
tons report that the movement OF
consignment corn is halted by a more
active home market. No corn is be-
ing offered on street markets and
crops are secured only by driving.
Broom business continues active
and demand is keeping pace with
house cleaning times. Manufacturers
report that buyers are willing to pay
good high prices for good grades and
there is a less tendency to cut prices
on the, part of the smaller manufac-
turer than is usually the case.
Reports from the west indicate a
large amount of short corn still in
hands of growers but corn of length
hard to find.
Attention is now being directed to
forecasts out in Kansas, where mark
citing has proved to be slow propos-
ition on account of bad freight condi-
tions and an excessive amount Of
short corn which has not been in
strong demand. there is much talk
among the growers about reducing
the acreage this season and planting
more food crops. Some wheat which
di dnot winter well will doubtless go
to broom corn and the fact that
broom corn is recognized as most
acceptable dry weather crop and the
entire west has less than a normal
amount of moisture during the year
will prove strong arguments in favor
Of normal acreage.

$3.50 was top price in the Central
