edge Has Not Been Destroyed
by the War. D..

At the one hundred and sixty-fiftt
session of the Royal Society of Arts
the chairman of the council, Mr.. Alan
A. Campbell Swinton, f. II. S., In an
address on Science and the Future, u
said that undoubtedly the war had
been responsible for an enormous
amount of destruction of capital, but
when those losses were estimated IL
was not usually borne in mind that
capital did not merely consist of goll
and silver, bricks and mortar, furni.
ture and fitmcnts, or even of railways,
steamships and machinery, but that
the main capital of the modern world
consisted Of scientific knowledge. The
reconstruction of the material things
now temporarily destroyed would
take only very small fraction of the
labor and time expended when men
learned how to bring those things
about. When we compiled estimates
of losses due to the war we must not
forget that our greatest asset, the vast
store Of knowledge that had been
gathered together, was still intact. In

CATTLE.-Market conditions con-
tinue very favorable, and the trade on
any class of beef steers and decent to
good butcher cattle and mixed stuff
is very strong, in line with the ad-
| vance as noted in this column week
ago, in fact, it is about the best mar
ket witnessed this year. The Gamer
market, however, continues to show
lack of life, demand for this stuff
being limited, while stocker and feed
er steers, which heretofore have en-
joyed popularity, has, as a result of
the recent advance, been much slower
sale this week. Receipts are ruling
very moderate and all indications are
that we are in store for the usual
spring runs and good market, out
side of occasional breaks.
H0GS.-As we draw near to March,
and the likelihood, according to popu-
lar opinion, that the Government will
not establish a March hog price,
though this is not positively assured,
the trade the past few days has be-
come very unsettled as a result. On
today's market the choice weight
northern hogs opened strong, with an
early top of $18.25, but the trade soon
lacked momentum and toward the
middle of the session the same class of
hogs that brought $18.25 early, only
brought $3.50 to $500, showing a
general drop in prices from the early
trade from 25c to 35c on the very best
hogs, while light and mixed hogs were
fully soc lower, with pigs and any
class of southern and southwest hogs
being in demoralized condition, bids
being impossible to secure, except in
isolated cases, and the prospects are
that big hold-over will be left in the
pens. If no March minimum is es-
tablished, the trade is apt to remain
in very unsettled shape for the time
being, but after this readjustment
takes place, it is our opinion that con-
ditions will be more normal and the
market recover a satisfactory trend.
SURPRISINGLY of receipts has
developed very strengthy condition
in this trade, particularly on lambs,

DEATH OF W. r. GRUNER

| On Monday morning, Feb. 10, 1918.
in the early hours of the morning, the
tender spirit of William Firmin, only
son of William and Mary Gruner of
Bismarck, winged its fight to the
realms of Eternal Glory.
At the time Of the summons to,
come up higher" the deceased was in
Kansas City, where he died. of pneu-
monia fever at the Sweeney Hospital.
He was born Of highly respected
and influential family. He inherited
gifts which were strengthened by his
education and extensive travels In the
West.
At the tender age of twelve he con-
fessed his faith in Christ and united,
with the Bismarck Baptist Church.
He was buried with Christ in Bap-
tism by Rev. Campbell to walk in the
newness of life.
His life was an open book. His
was a tender and trusting life, full of
love for his relatives, friends and
neighbors.
To know him. was to love the quiet
ness of his spirit and to know that
his future was directed by the Divine
Hand of God.
What visions Of heavenly glory
greeted his spirit as it winged its
upward flight! Only the faith in
Christ inspired may give glimpse.
Though this faith is comforting to
those who remain, yet the pain of
separation still pierees our hearts,
and in our deep grief we are forced to
cry out until God mercifully softens
the grief and lifts our hearts in rev.
erend faith and hope in Him who is
ever calling, "CoDhe unto Me all We
who are weary and heavy laden, and
l will give you rest"
Though our hearts are broken by
sorrow, we must be submissive to
His holy will, for we know that God
does all things web.
He leaves a sister, and a heart
broken father and mother to mourn
his earthly departure.
Such, consolation as human sympa-
thy and words can give, are but vain
to tighten SO deep a sorrow.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the Baptist church on Wednes-
day afternoon, by Rev. Hicks.
Miss Ruth Clanton 90 sang LEAD,
Kindly Light, "Safe in the Arms of
jesus, and "Abide With Me-"
The deceased was born near Bis

6 days.
He was laid to rest in the beautiful
cemetery to await the res
