MISTREAT AMERICANS

Americans who may be captured
by Germans are to be regarded as
not entitled to the ordinary cour-
tesies according prisoners of war, ac-
cording to information reaching here
today.
It is presumably the intention of
the Germans to employ American
prisoners in low forms of labor and
under wretched conditions such as
the Teutons imposed on Russians in
the past The Germans regard the
Russian prisoners as little better than
animals and compelled them to live
in frightful surroundings

SHORTAGE OF COTTON SEED
MEAL AND CAKE

Having just returned from Wash
ington, where Vice President Dom
aldson and 1 conferred with the Food
Administration relative to the move
ment of cotton seed meal and cake,
and found the situation to be as fol-
lows: That the demand for cotton
seed meal and cake far exceeds the
supply and that a great many of the
traders have made contracts which
they will be unable to fill, and that
all responsible commercial firms will
be required to fill all orders made
whether it be of 43 protein or of a
lower grade, and that the govern
ment has fixed the price on cotton
seed meal and cake as follows:
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ten
nessee, Louisiana and Missippi. 43
per cent protein at $3.50. Al per
cent protein at S51.5O. 38 per cent
protein at S48.5O. SO per cent pro
tein at S46.5O.
Therefore, it is suggested that a
demand be made for the delivery of
the cottonseed meal and cake pur-
chased of the dealer and accept any
grade that can be delivered, espec-
tally if the dealer can show that he
is unable to deliver the grade con-
tracted for.
1t is further suggested that in MAX
ing contracts for cake and meal, that
it not be based on Texas grade, as it
will be impossible for contracts to be
filled with very much of the Texas
products, on account of the bad
drouth conditions in that state and
the states requirements calling for
all of its output.
/ think it very important that
every effort be made to secure cotton
seed meal and cake through any
channel at as early date as possible
The government has fixed the price
and the profits that a dealer can
make, which cannot exceed $1.00 per
ton All contracts made for Texas
cake and cotton seed meal prior to
November, 1916, will be filled by the
dealer

INCOME TAX
Wichita, Kansas, Dec.

Wichita, Kansas, Dec. 29.
It will require small army of men
to take the income tax returns OF
persons subject to the new law. Col
lector of Internal Revenue W. H. L.
Pepperell, today announced that his
officers would start from his head
quarters on January End and on jan
uary 3rd every one of them will be on
the job in the county assigned him, to
meet the people and help them make
out their income tax returns. Theof-
ficer assigned to this county is due to
arrive here on January 7th, and re-
main until January 10, 1913, both
dates inclusive. He will have his Of
flee in the court house, Wa-Keeney,
January to 10, 1918, where he may
be found every day of the dates
stated.
"It will be well for every unmarried
person whose net income for 1917 is
$1,000 or over, and every married per-
son living with wife or husband whose
net income for 1917 is $4,000 or over
to call on the income tax man and
learn whether or not they have any
income for 1917 is $4,000 or over, to
call on the income tax man and learn
whether or no they had any tax to
pay" Collector Pepperell said today:
tsThe person subject to tax who does
not make a return in the time pre-
scribed is going to regret it. The gov
ernment will get after all income tax
slackers.
"There's few business men, mer-
chant or professional man who won't
have to make return of income. Far
mers as a class, will have to pay the
tax The safe thing to do is for every
person who had a total income of ST.
900 or $4,000, as the case may be, and
who is not sure about what deductions
the law allows him, to play safe by
calling on the income tax men.

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, January
I, 1918. Cattle receipts to-day were
5000 head, market steady, exceptions
sxong ea cows, top steers $13. Hogs
today 5000 head, market strong to
10 higher. top $16.95. Sheep and
lambs today 5000 head, market
strong, nothing choice, best lambs
here $16.35.
Beef Cattle
Some pretty good fed steers
brought $500, and a long string of
short fed steers yesterday and today
sold at $1,000, to $3.50. Packers con-
tinue to show the need of beef, and
bid prices up on fleshy feeders, fore
ing one country buyer up to SLIPS
today on a drove of desirable feeders
weighing slightly more than 1000
and choice heavy cows sell up to $40,
heifers to $11.5O, bulls SO, veal
calves up to $3.50. The beef cattle
market has apparently struck a good
place, and feeders are encouraged ac-
cordingly.
Stockers and Feeders
Illinois buyers were present and
paid SO for 800 pound Kansas red
cattle of good quality. There is
plenty of soft corn in Illinois and
Iowa, and which continues to slim
ulate the demand for cattle. Feeders
sold this week from $3.50 to S11.5O,
stock steers S725 to S1O.4O, stock
calves l1D to 5000
Hogs
Hogs sold stronger, particularly

bulk of sales a little. Best heavy hogs
sold at $16.95, best mixed hogs S16.9O.
Best light weights S16.75, bulk of
sales $16.65 to $1,000. Pig prices are
holding up firm. most sales at SIS
to $3.50. Old time dealers in hogs
at the stock yards hesitate to predict
the future course of the hog market,
being unable to foretell what course
the Government will pursue in deal
ing with food prices, and the Hmita-
ton of food uses. However, with a
guarantee minimum price hog raising
seems to be an attractive business
Sheep and Lambs
Nothing choice was offered today,
some second rate local fed Western
lambs<at $16.35 and some poorly fin
ished pea fed Colorados at SIS. Choice
fed Westerns would bring $16.65 or

$12, best wethers $12.65, yeariings up
to $14-
