CATTLE. - Unsavory conditions
have followed as a result of an UNI
looked-for heavy cattle supply thus
circumstance, lower prices on all va
rieties have ensued. Steer cattle
far this week, and as a result of this
both killers and stocker grade, show
a net loss of 25c per cwt., while the
rank and file of cows, butcher stuff
and mixed cattle average 25c to SOC
lower. This condition of the trade
was influenced also to big extent by
tremendous big supply at the prin-
cipal western markets, which has been
influenced by the fact that the move
ment has been large, owing to tax
day, May 1st, and the consequent de-
sire of farmers to rid themselves of
superfiuous live stock, in order to avoid
the taxation.
HOGS:-The movement in hogs has
been induced to two causes. One has
been the fact that record prices have
prevailed, the other to the disposition
Of holdings before tax day, the 1st of
May. The elimination resulted in big
runs, and this is especially so today
when over 10000 head arrived, the
largest single days aggregate in a
number of weeks. On the opening
rounds SPOTS bought the fancy heavy
northern hogs, price which was 25c
per cwt. under yesterdays top, or the
market record, but at the finish, $2O.50
bought equally as good hogs, showing
a net loss conservatively stated of Ace
per cwt., compared with the high
time Of yesterday. Southern and south

A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT

Dear Mr.. Editor:-In last week.
issue of your paper under the head of
"The Church and the Laboringman"
your correspondent stated several
facts which unfortunately are too
true. But, when he comes to give
reasons for such a state of affairs,
his statements are not altogether in
accordance with facts, as seen by
other laymen.
First, he condemns the argument of
picking out poor weak member of
the church and comparing all the
members with him. Yet he tells us of
one pastor in the lead belt who did
not know the people, and some church
es which are opposing prohibition and
comparing all the others with that
one minister and those churches.
Now, it is fact that we have min
listers, both in the lead belt and in
your own town of Pennington, who
have made canvass of the people at
their homes, inviting everyone out to
the church of their choice, if they
have a choice, and those who have no
preference are invited especially to
some particular church. This has
been recently done in Bonnie Terre.
Now the preachers, nor the churches,
are to blame if they do not come.
There is no law to force people to so
to church.
But what conditions are often found
in these canvasses, viz: People who
have held membership in some church
before moving, and in some cases still
hold letter, but for various reasons,
mostly because he is not acquainted
with the people, or through negli-
gence. Now, if they are Christian
people, they should know that they
are indeed welcome to any of the
churches. So who is at fault? Surely
not the pastor nor the church.
And again is the old excuse given,
81 can't afford to dress suitable to go
to church." Can anyone who uses
this excuse point out case of this
kind in which TRUE CHRISTIAN
ever made such remark? We all
have heard people use the excuse, but
it is a commendable fact that we
have poor people who are not able to
dress fine, who are some of the best
workers, or among the best, in most
of our churches, and such members
are not forgotten as charged.
But, admitting that many uiifor-
tunate mistakes are made in the
churches, and they occur in all organ
izations, would it not be better and
more like Christians, for those who
see the faults and criticise them to
come into the churches and help to
remedy them? Especially when we
admit that the church is great in
Estitution and it's work so badly needed.
1t is certainly true that the church
| is working out the fundamentals as
given by the Carpenter of Nazareth,
and is preaching a gospel of fairness
and unselfishness, offering no special
privileges to special classes. But one
must remember that the evil infuenc-
es are retarding this work, the same
as when Christ himself was opposed.
But the church is making Roadway
and offering salvation through Christ,
to both the rich and poor, and each
one of US who processes to be His
followers should hold up the hands,
both Of our pastors and our churches.

WORkMEN'S COMPENSATION
MEASURE is SIGNED

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 2s.-
Governor Gardner today signed the
workmen's compensation bill, recent
ly passed by the Legislature in the
presence of the Missouri Federation
of Labor, who are in Jefferson City.
This bill provides for bipartisan
commission of four members, upon
which Missouri's discharged soldiers,
sailors and marines are to be given
preference in the appointment.
The salary fixed is $4,000 for COM
missioners, with a secretary at $4,000.
The bill carries maximum weekly
compensation of SIS and a minimum
Of Sc. Two-thirds of the weekly COM
pensation must be paid, except that
the amount shall not exceed SIS.

plentiful, in fact have been scarcer in
point of numbers than in many
months, and naturally this has had
the disposition to create and maintain
q freer movement among those varie-
ties, and they are selling closer in line
with the good natives than any other
time in months. In fact at this writ
ing, strictly guaranteed southern or
southwest hogs weighing $50 pounds
upwards are selling in line with ma
tives of the same weight. The close
of the market today indicated very
sluggish trend, and in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 or 10000 hogs are being
carried over. Under the Circumstance
es, provided, of course, fresh receipts
are of any volume tomorrow, it indi-
Gates lack of action to the market,
and it is hardly probable that any re-
covery for the time being will mater
ialize.
SHEEP.-In line with the general
weakening of cattle and hog values,
the market on lambs has suffered also,
prices for these varieties ranging
25c to 40c lower than the best time
last week; the bulk of the receipts
consisting of lambs, with further in
ccntive for buyers to force a price
concession, though the insufficient
number of sheep did not permit Of any
variation in prices, these varieties
holding fully as good as any time last
week.

IT WILL BE FLoATED SET
LAST OF LIBERTY ISSUES
Banks Cannot Handle It Alone, and
Everybody Must Lend a Helping
Hand.
LAST OF LIBERTY ISSUES

Maybe the following catechism will
help to set you right on some of the
questions surrounding the Fifth, the
Victory Loan, the last of the historic
Liberty Bond Issues.
Q. Is this to be the last of the Lib.
erty Loans?
A. Yes; on the authority Of no less
person than the Secretary of the
Treasury, Carter Glass, who has made
that announcement.
@. Is there a possibility that the
Governments mind may be changed
and that the Loan will not be floated,
as announced?
A There Is no such possibility.
Congress has authorized the Loan, it
has been formally announced and it
will be offered to the people of the
United States and all others who wish
to buy It.
Q. The war is over, peace is being
made; what is the -se of another
Loan for several billion dollars?
A. Last fall we raised the Fourth
Loan in time of war. The proceeds
from the Fourth Loan have been used
up in the extraordinary expenditu. es
that accompany rehabilitation. The
Government must haze billions more
In order to maintain our overseas
forces, take care Of the expenses Of
rehabilitation, bring the soldiers
home and carry out the necessary re-.
construction plans.
After wat Expenses.
@. If the United States has very
little money in its treasury and now
needs loan, how are we paying for
these after-the-war expenses?
A. This is being done for the most
part with money tt. was borrowed
from the banks at the rate of $500, 000,-
900 every two weeks. We have been
issuing to the banks what were called
short-term anticipation certificates in
return for the money, and these must
be taken up and paid off. A goodly
part Of the Victor Loan will be used
in paying up this short-term indebt.
edness.
@. Well, If the banks are willing to
advance the money why not let them
continue to do SO?
A. For the very good reason that
in order to continue to extend credit
to the businesses of the country, both
big and little, the banks must get
back this money when 1t falls due,
other wise credits would freeze up in
this country and a serious situation
would be here. The money they are
lending amounts to 20 per cent of
their entire resources. You can read.
lily see that the banks resources, all
of them, would soon be exhausted at
the present rate.
Q. Is the Government going to try
to get us to take this loan on pat.
riotic or a commercial basis?
A. Why not on both? There ought
to be, and there is. patriotism enough
in America to make one bite" Of the
Fifth Liberty Loan: Secretary. of the
