Livestock Report

OGDEN, Utah. May 2.-Despite
the smashing of prices on corn and
other cereals which was noticeable
feature of market conditions this
week there has been no reduction In
the price being paid for livestock,
while hogs retain the topmost quota
ton Of history.
The situation is Just as anticipat-
ed by the livestock and meat pack
ing men-there is tendency toward
higher prices for livestock, tenden-
cy toward lower prices for feed stuffs
with the result that profits are be-
ing increased for the men engaging
iu the livestock industry, Laws of
supply and demand are becoming OPP
eratiye to a greater extent and bring
ing these results. The demand for
meats in Europe continues very hea-
Wy, while the supply in America is
not large enough to supply all the
calls.
While the prices being paid for

hogs on the Ogden market are now
|Quite high. the anticipation is that
the figures will be higher in May,
Jue and July. For that reason. the
livestock men watching the Ogden
market are advising that shipments
of stock hogs be withheld and that
the growers get the most for their
labor and their investment by finish
ing the animals. Well finished hogs
are bringing considerable more per
pound on the ogden market than
those arriving in poor condition.
General farm conditions over the
itnermountain states are such that
there should be a plentiful supply OF
feed this year for cattle, sheep and
hogs, More grain is being raised
than ever before. the alfalfa is re-
ported in splendid condition and SUI
gar beets-which furnish silage from
the tops, molasses and sllage from
the beets themselves-are TO be even
more pletiful than before. The noun

BIG BILL HART NEVER
MORE DARING THAN
IN "C0LD DECK"
Rides Over Precipice to Es-
cape His Pursuers


Never has big Bill Hart, the true
representative. of Americas courage
Gus pioneers, performed more hazard
Gus stunts than in his latest screen
production, The Cold Deck" which
will be shown at the Lyric theatre
tonight.
The grim man OF the desert, who
recently stirred the whole country to
a monstrous ovation as he journeyed
from California to New York lie alb
solutely without fear, and yet. curl
ously enough, is one of the most SEN
sitive Of men. II Is this striking
combination Of strength and kind
illness that has made big Bill Hart
the most beloved Of American ac-
tors.
In The Cold Deck" his new play,
he appears as Level Leigh, gambler
who sacrifices everything in order to
take his little sister up to the noun
tains where she may regain her
health, Through treachery, he Is
made to appear guilty of the murder
OF stage coach driver. He is placed
/, in Jail, and the Vigilate police are
preparing the moose for him when he
succeeds in bending the bars OF his
jail window. leaping twenty feet to
the ground below and escaping on
horse back. The police follow close
on his trail and his capture seems
certain. but his daring is greater
than theirs. for he deliberately
turns his horse toward the edge Of q
precipice and rides down a break
neck incline.
Three Of the most noted beauties
Of the screen support the great west
ern actor In this play. They are Al
ma Reuben, who has the role OF a

who appears az Harris sister, and

Let Them Mourn

Nothing so BELTS the facts of the world war
than that Germany gave itself over to a week
of mourning" last week. For it is about time
that the German people, down to the inhab-
itants of the smallest hamlet knew what their
present humiliation means and why they are
now sitting on the stool of repentance. They
had their hurrah days and the school children
were given their freedom and went out with
flags to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania
And the schoolmasters openly INDUCED their
classes in the frank discuss ion cas- to which ma
ton the Germans should hate the most" on
some days it was England that could not be
too eternally hated and "strafed." Then, again,
the PROFESSIONAL and kaiserch and koeniglich
hates were directed at America, which also was
included in the countries that were first to be
terrorized by frightfuness, then brought into
subsection by punishments that were to know
no mercy and then, when conquered, were to be
exploited forever to make kaiser's birthday.
But all that is over, and Germany vanquish-
ed does not like the medicine So, as the peace
terms penetrate, there is the inevitable reaction
of the morning after" But the nationwide
expression of remorse. through closed theaters
and bandless cafes, Germanlike, was accom-
panied by mischievous twist that is expected
to affect the soft-hearted in the countries that
have laid down the peace terms. In this ex-
pectation, however, Germany and its present
wabbng government are doomed to failure

Decorate for the Eighty-nirti,.

When Omaha sent its soldier boys away, the
streets were gay with flags and bunting. War
was on, and the patriotism of the people found
expression in the outward display of national
colors and emblems as much as in the personal
effort and sacrifc that carried on the serious
business. Now the boys are coming back. They
have been tried in the fierce fires of conflict
On the bloodest field ever trampled by Ameri-
can feet they have held high Old Glory, and
under its folds have brought new triumph and
high honor to the flag. Therefore, when they
return again to their homes, they should be
welcomed by such show as will leave no doubt
as to the sentiment of the greeting. Omaha
has had many occasions for dressing up, but
none more important than this. The duty is
imperative on everybody to make the utmost
effort to decorate the city for the march of the
infantry and machine gun veterans who soon
are to be our honored guests. And let this be
done in way that will surpass anything now
on record Give the heroes, the Fighting
Farmers" of the Eghty-n ninth welcome home

WOOD GIVES SOUND ADVICE.

II pray to God there will not be another war,
but we will be fools not to prepare for war" said
General Leonard Wood, addressing the grad
uating class at the University of Nebraska
This is not the voice Of an alarmist; of the
nnilitarist, nor of the lingo. 1t is the sage ad-
vice OF patriotic citizen, whose experience and
observation qualify him to speak on world af-
fairs. General Wood pleaded for better policy
of preparedness before the war; his admoniton
was unheeded because Americans had been
lulled into sense OF false security by those
whose idealism had overgrown their judgment
with veneer of sentimental fungus, and whose
advocacy Of untried theories was sufficiently
ardent to lead people into a blind alley from
which hasty retreat was forced by memorable
facts.
We do not want war, but that does not do
away with the possibility of war. The nation
must not again be permitted to retire into the
fools paradise, from which it was jolted in 1917.
Nor should the people again turn responsive
ear to the false prophets whose honeyed
phrases deluded them into that position from
which such, herculean effort was required to
escape America will be great only as it be-
comes solid. Let US have peace, but let us not
forget how our liberty was won, nor the price
we have paid for its preservation. We may
never have another war, but how foolish we
will be if we allow the next one to catch US as
unready as we were in 1917!

Triumph for the American Navy.

The NC-4 made its final hop to the main
land in Europe yesterday, and completed the
overseas flight For the first time man has
crossed an ocean in heavier than-air flying
machine.
The fact that the flight was not made directly
from continent to continent does not detract
from its value to the scientists who have
watched it progress. 1t has revealed the posi-
blties as we'll as the difficulties in the way Of
transoceanic air navigation No one yet
estimate the value of the contribution to the
science of aeronautics.
All the spectacular qualities that marked
Harry Hawker's venture are missing from the
journey of Commander Read and his compan-
ions. They set about their trip with success
almost assured. Careful calculations had been
made, based on actual flying experience, the
limit of required flight was we'll within the es-
tablshed range of the machine, and all the
known factors of the problem had been reduced
to certainty The loss of two of the planes
that started from Trepassey prove that some
things were not within the control of the men
who set out on the high emprise. Vagares
of the weather will menace the air voyager
until considerable improvement has followed
in this means Of transportation
The point that challenges attention is that
the passage is feasible. What it holds for the
future of peace and war alike will admit of
linitess speculation. The submarine, that did
such havoc in the last five years, was long an
unrealized dream. Its development under the
stress Of war showed such possibilities are
yet only fully realized by the experts SINH
lary, aerial navigation expanded with wonder
full rapidity to meet ever-increasng require
ments of war, so that in these directions man
moved much faster than he did in time of peace.
The impulse has been awakened, and the
crossing of the Atlantic by the navys flying
men is one of the earlier manifestations Of what
yet may become ordinary accomplishments
That our navy leads again must be accepted as
basis for reasonable pride, but the fact is that
we are so accustomed to our sailors showing
the way and so will not get greatly fused up
over the fact that they continue to make good

No Monopolu on the Ocean

The late J. P Morgan's transatlantic ship
ping combination of 1902 is now breaking up.
Nearly 100000 tons of its gross ship tonnage
of 100000 are to be sold to some British COM
pany of unknown identity. This tonnage will
include chiefly the ships of the old White Star
and Leyland lines, which are the British COM
panes whose stock is owned i'll great part by
the International Mercantile Marine company,
an American corporation. All that is left to
this concern will be it's ships of American reg
istry and those of the Red Star Line OF Bel
GUM.
The United States government had chance
to buy these British registry ships and for
months the holding company seems to have
played for bids between Washington and Lon
don Whether the British price of $3.50 100000
now accepted alone stod in the way is not clear,
but the probability is that with the great ton
mage already built and building under the
United States Shipping board it was felt in
Washington that the government had enough
ships on its hands and that in any event a
dominant position again on the seas is assured
to the American mercantile marine.
AS trust" this was the least of Mr.. Nor
gan's successes 1t could make no Roadway
against the broad bosom Of the ocean as free
and open way for all corners with capital
enough even to own no more than a tramp
freighter. The proposition proved to be quite
different from that of combining railroads OF
exclusive position or steel plants with more or
less exclusive resources in ore and coal. The

The Senate and the Treaty

Senator Hitchcock says ut is preposterous
for the senate to interfere with the negotiations
and demand the right to publish document to
which the other party has not agreed"
We do not wonder Senator johnson called
that tofimyrot. The answer to it is simple
enough. The senator's who demand to see the
full text Of the treaty are not interfering with
the negotiations. The negotiations such as
they are, are going on. But it has been made
clear by the conference that they are not to at
feet substantially the. terms of the treaty. No
material changes will be conceded. The treaty
goes practically as it lays.
Why, then, should not the coordinate branch
of the government, or the American people, for
that matter, have the full text for the earliest
study?
The obstruction to this demand is not in the
interest of the nation The American people
are asked to take in this treaty the greatest
step in their history. Is there anything prepos-
ferrous in that the senate. knowing the pressure
of time should demand the earliest opportunity
to study such document? Is there anything
preposterous in demanding that the American
people should know at the earliest possible mo.
nent what they are to be asked to approve and
support if need be- with their blood?
1t is Senator Hitchcocks position that is
preposterous, and he and his colleagues would
I do we'll to make up their minds that the treaty
of Versailles is not going to be damned down
the throat of this nation. We all know enough
now of the Paris conference to understand that
it was not an inspired tribunal, governed by an
infallible intelligence. Senator Hitchcock may
want the senate and the country to shut our
eyes before the binding glory of the achieve
ment, but. if so. he has taken leave of his wits.
The treaty of Versailles is going to be examined
thoroughly and from the standpoint of. the
safety and welfare of our own country. And
inasmuch as the earliest possible, peace is ur-
gently sought by all the world, the quicker the
senate and the public begin the examination the
better. -N --- .
That is common sense, which the people will
approve and we advise Senator Hitchcock to &C
cept it.-Chicago Tribune.

Show of Force for Germany.

Some of the critical reviewers of proceedings
at Versailles are inclined to the view that Ger
many will seek to save what is left of the ma
tional face by requiring show of force before
signing the treaty. This seems to be in line
with the psychology of the nation. Confronted
by the inevitable, they will only submit in the
physical presence of the force that compels
them In other words, they will not sign the
treaty because it is just and right that they
SHOULD. but because they have no other alter
native Defeat will ranke in the German
mind for many years, retarding the restoration
of the nation to place among the other ma
tons of the world. In time, however, the rancor
will subside, overcome by the health that will
follow industrious application to the payment
of debts incurred by the mad attempt to sub
jugate the world New life will spring up in
Germany, and with it an ambition to serve
rather than to conquer. The present mood may
require the exhibition of armed power, for that
is what they are familiar with, but the German
of the future will very likely recognize and
respond to moral force.

All the naked trees were clothed
In soft, tender green, again.
And the orchards blossomed fair
Violets were everywhere!

Where the shimmering brches swayed,
Breathing ancient lullabies.
And the whole earth shows today
