KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT
Switchmen's Strike Over in "A Hours Normal Crews at Work Today
 Live Stock Prices Higher

Kansas City, December 1, 1919
 Saturday at 400 p. m. close to 400( union switchmen in the various ter. minal yards at Kansas City went or strike. They were acting on theii own initiative and officials of the switchmen's union declared it irregu. lar and called the men back to work on Sunday afternoon. Today the en. tire force reported for duty, and freight of all kinds is moving in nor. mai volume. The strike, though of only twenty-four hours duration, GU: down receipts of live stock and result ed in higher market in all divisions today.
 Today's Receipts
 Receipts today were 5000 cattle $500 hogs, and 2000 sheep, compared with 30,O0O cattle, 15,0OO hogs, and 5000 sheep a week ago, and 31,957 cattle, 31,000 hogs, and 14,800 sheep a year ago. Elsewhere receipts were liberal, especially at other Missouri river markets.
 Beef Cattle Short
 With less than one-third as many cattle here as week ago, and the run showing less than a normal per cent of fat cattle, beef grades were in active demand at strong to 25 cents higher prices. The advance applied to butcher grades as well as steers, Some choice steers sold at $18.00 short fed steers sold up to $15.50, and grass fat steers up to $13.50. The bulk of the killing steers, which were grass fat, sold at $10.50 to $12.50. Cows, exclusive of canners, brought $7.50 to $12.50, canners, $5.50 to $6, veal calves were 50 cents higher.
 Stockers and Feeders Active
 Trade in stock and feeding cattle was active and the moderate supply brought firm prices. Quality was fairly good. All outgoing shipments were handled on regular schedules and railroads reported a normal supply of stock cars available. Fleshy feeders sold at $12.00 to $13.50, lighter weight good quality, 5000 to S11.50, and ordinary to fair kinds, $S.75 to s10.
 Hogs Snapped Up
 The $500 hogs here today were snapped up at 50 to 75 cents higher prices, and the big margin that ex- isted here last week over other mar kets was extended still further. The top price today was $14.80, and the bulk of the hogs sold at $14.25 to $14.65, making $1.25 advance con- pared with the low day last week. Packers bought most of the offerings and paid the maximum advance.
 Sheep and Lambs Slightly Higher
 Early estimate was for 600 sheep, but 2OO0 finally arrived, and sold at 25 cents higher prices. Quality of the offerings was plain. Lambs brought $14.50 to $15.0O. Choice grades would have brought $15.25 or better. Ewes sold at s7.75 to S8.50, and yearlings $11.00 to $11.75. Few feeders were offered.

LIVESTOCK AND RANGE
 CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA

The weekly report of stock and range conditions issued by the Weath- CT Bureau indicates that under the influence of higher temperatures the heavy snow that fell in the northern counties on the 27th is rapidly dis appearing. Streams are running full and tanks and reservoirs are well filled. The rapid melting is regard ed fav0rably, as considerable amount of stock, horses and cattle, were showed in on the mountains, and were without food except where browse was available for the latter. Monday morning ten inches of snow covered the ground at Flagstaff, and, Pinedale, twelve inches at Viii Hams, thirteen at Prescott, seven at Grand Canyon, three inches at Fort Apache and two inches at Seligman.

MRS. FRANK NOBLE

We'll we're being obsessed with tht talk on the H. c. l..
 How refreshing to really know that money can never make a man happy Our richest men, Carnegie and Rock, efeller, found that out and spent mucl of their time in devising ways to gel rid of their wealth. To their ever. lasting honor, they were able to finc ways that help in the elevation and benefit of their fellow beings.
 As a nation we have forged ahead in our ability to "get there" finan- cially and economically.
 Even though we are young as ages of nations go, we are the bankers of the world, so lets not despair, even- tually an adjustment will come and we'll be on the income tax yet.

 Camp Fire Girls Entertain
 One of the very daintiest parties of the Thanksgiving season just past was that of last Friday evening, when the Camp Fire girls gave supper in the Domestic Science room of the Emerson school. A long table was prettily decorated with camp access sories fashioned by the amateur ar lists, while place cards bearing Thanksgiving suggestions were found at each guests place. What mar velous supper it was! The cooks re- sponsible for the good eats being Margaret Stahl, Marion Wallace, Francis Starbuck and Violet Raude- baugh.
 After. the three course supper a series of moving pictures were given cleverly by the girls:
 MT. and Mrs. Gicless entertained about twenty young people on last Tuesday evening at their pretty home in Milton. We understand a most tempting lunch was served after an enjoyable evening spent in dancing and games.
 Quinlan Had Swell"
 Thanksgiving Dinner
 Larry w. Quinlan of Rabbit Bros, had Thanksgiving dinner that he will remember for long time. While his family and all of his friends in Flagstaff were sumptuously imbibing turkey and all that goes with it, he and his travelling companion for the week, Mir. Sharp of Holbrook, sat in their ear somewhere in the reserva- tion," and carefully divided and de- voured box of crackers and can of sardines. And the wind was blow ing and the snow driving down so fast that they begrudged the five minutes they spent in eating fearing they might not get to Holbrook before they were showed in.
 They were on their way from Thief Mountain to Holbrook. Mir. Quinlan had planned to go on to Cibecue, but was advised by phone that the bliz- gard was so fierce that it would be suicidal to attempt it.

AUTHOR OF DAYLIGHT SAVING

It is claimed that the first person to suggest the idea of daylight sav- ing was Benjamin Franklin when he was minister to France. In 1784 Franklin, in letter published in a Paris paper, outlined a plan by which the city of Paris might save fully $2, 900 900 year in actual cost of can dles for light by putting the clocks ahead one hour, so as to get an hour more of daylight and an hour. less of artificial light. At that time the peo- pie of Paris kept late hours and also arose late in the morning. His letter, entitled An Economical Project,s was in humorous vein and excited considerable comment, but nothing ap- parently came of it.

DEPLETION NECESSARY

The new play was in rehearsal, and a delegation of actors approached the manager. On being received the spokesman said:
 "Sir, we have come to ask that a portion of MT. Browns part be cut out"
 "What's all this about? What do you want cut out?" asked the man. ager.
 "The part where he, as the dis guised count, borrows half a crown. Every time he thinks any of us has any money he calls a rehearsal.

CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA

Despite bad weather and muddy roads the orange harvest has made favorable progress. About sixty car loads of oranges and grape fruit have been shipped to market, and it is es- timated that probably seventy-five per cent of the navels have been picked. The market is steady and satisfactory to growers, and promises to so con tinue. Cotton suffered little damage from the recent rains, but picking was delayed somewhat owing to the wet soil. Muddy roads have inter- fered with deliveries and as a conse- quence ginning has slowed up.

WHAT HE DIDN'T LIKE

"It's no use," said the worried junior partner. "I'll have to get new typist."
 "Pity!" said his colleague. Miss Jones always seemed nice obliging sort of girl"
 "Oh, she's all that. But she will keep interrupting me when I'm dictat- ing to ask me how to spell words"
 That certainly is great waste of tirne."
 "It's not that I object to-" ex- plained the junior partner, Out 1t looks so bad to keep on saying I don't know"

Social Service Circle Meets

1 Social Service Circle Meets
 The December meeting of the Socia Service circle met at the home of it. president, Mrs. Tom Rees,, on las | Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Quite good attendance was noted, but 2 membership of forty-four responding would be more representative for the topics discussed. The secretary vii send out cards for the January meet. ing and it is hoped more will be pres. ent.
 One of the topics for the last meet. ing related to the Public Healtl Nurse, which it is believed will dc much towards keeping contagious dis. eases from spreading among the school children.
 Many communities in Arizona have installed school nurses--a few have installed Public Health nurses. Both are needed. The Public Health nurse is the dependable safeguard against epidemics. In saving panic, she saves the lives and betters health conditions, thus paying her cost to the communi- ty many times. She creates a higher standard of citizenship, for she de. votes herself to the welfare of the pupils of school age.
 The war has resurrected in Amer ica the ideal of physical perfection, the realization of the dominance of health and strength.
 Fifty years ago in slave times a healthy black man was rated at about 5000 by his owner. Economists now figure that the value of an average healthy citizen to the state, figured in coin, is between $5000 and S6000. Federated Services
 An impetus is being given all church work just now by splendid drives in every denomination. Church going IS to be settled fact and habit ere long.
 Sunday morning we will hear "A story with a message for every man"
 The evening topic will be Two great mysteries"
 w. C. T. U. Meeting
 Last Tuesday afternoon the ladies of the w. c. T U. organization met at the home of Mrs. J. c. Milligan. Topics of the day were discussed and the concensus of opinion of those present led to an adjournment of three months, when the regular meetings will be resumed.
 A contribution of number of val uable books was voted to the Emer- son school library, some of which have already been placed in the hands of eager children.
 The list includes the following:
 Life of Frances E. Willard; Alco- hol and Human Race; Alcohol and the Human Body; Body and Its Defenses; Alcohol and Relation to Human EN fiency; Compendium of Temperance Truths.

Of course, women in high-heeled shoes look funny when running for a street car, but it is less painful for them to run for one car than to stand around and wait for another.
