THIS WEEKS RECEIPTS

400 sheep compared with 76,850 cat
tie, 1880 calves, $4,000 hogs, and
$4,000 sheep last week and 106,250
cattle, 14,26O calves, 49,600 hogs, and
83,848 sheep a year ago. The lagest
receipts of the year arrived from Colo
rado, but shipments from other Sec
tions were short of preceding weeks.
BEEF CATTLE
Forced to meet competition from
country buyers killers this week ad-
vanced prices for fat cattle rs cent to
$1.OO. The local advance was material
ly greater than elsewhere. Fed steer
which last week maintained a good
margin above more Eastern markets
advanced the least. They sold at
$3.50 to $17.50. Several loads of
Kansas yearlings brought SLABS
Grass fat steers late in the week sold
at $8.2 to $13.75, and they were the
kind that brought $500 to $3.50 at
the low point last week. Colorado
steers sold at $3.50 to $10.75, with
cows up to $9.65. An eighteen car
load shipment of Oregon cattle sold
Wednesday, steers $3.50 to $11. 10, and
cows up to $1,000. Texas and New
Mexico offerings were mostly stock
ers and feeders. Veal calves were so
cents to $t.00 higher, selling up to
$500.
STOCKERS AND FEEDERS
Cornbelt buyers rushed the market
this week for stock and feeding cat
tie, and the increased outlet to this
source was the basis of the advance in
the entire market. Larger supplies
could have been sold without check
ing the advance. Eastern buyers re-
ported excellent crop conditions and a
shortage of cattle with the recent de-
cline in corn making winter feeding
prospects very attractive. Feeders
sold mostly at 5000 to $11.5O, top
$12.25. Stockers brought $3.50 to
$9.75, or rs cents to $1.25 above last
week. Stock cows and heifers sold
at $500 to $3.50.
HOGS
Hogs prices today were steady to
10 cents lower than Thursday and
steady to 25 cents higher than week
ago. The strength in the market is
in the palmer classes, and this has
served to reduce the spread in prices
materially. The top price today was
SIT so, and the bulk of hogs sold at
$17.00 to $17.4O. Receipts remain
small, and the local market has main
tanned a relatively stronger position
than more eastern or northern mark
cts. Stock hogs and pigs remain in
active demand at $3.50 to $780,
tops selling as high as fat hogs.
SHEEP AND LAMBS
Sheep and lambs were in active de-
mand after Monday, and prices ad-
vanced rs cents to $1.00. Good to
choice fat lambs are quoted at $14.5O
to $500, fair to good $14.O0 to $14.5O,
yearlings $1,000 to $1O.75, wethers
$8.5 to $3.50, ews $6.75 to $500,
feeding lambs $11.00 to $12.25, and
breeding ewes 5000 to $14.OO. To-
day 4,500 Nevada lambs so pounds,
sold in one bunch at $11.50. Demand
for stock and feeding grades from

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
Sept. 26th 1919.-Following the con-
tinued declines of the past three
months the cattle market this week
rebounded rs cents to $1.25. Unusual
activity prevailed in the trade. Light
receipts and rush of country buy

were factors in the advance. Not
withstanding rather sharp declines in
hog prices at Eastern markets local
prices held nearly steady. Sheep

How Word "Hooze" Originated.

In the Pennsylvania museum, Memo
rial hall in Fairmount park, Phlla-
delphia, can be seen collection Of
highly decorated old bottles, and the
one which attracts most attention is
the log cabin whisky bottle, nodded in
the shape Of house. On one end is
the inscription "12O Walnut street,
Philadelphia" together with the date,
which is "1s40," on the front of the
roof. On the back is stamped In bold
letters, "E. G. Booz's old cabin
whisky"
This erstwhile vendor Of spirituous
liquor is said to be responsible for
the use in America of the slang mp.
pellation "booze." by which all kinds
of Intoxicating drinks are known to-
day. Although some etwnologlsts give
II as being derived from the Hindu
stani word "booza." meaning 10 drink.
while others claim It Is from the
Dutch "buyzen" to tipple. The term
was good English in the fourteenth
century.

SAHARA MAY BE RECLAIMED
Good Possibility Of lts Bslns Made

That the Sahara will some day

by ]. Nicholas Brusse in La Nation Of
Paris. For more than quarter of q
century, Mr.. Brusse declares, although
people in general have thought of the
Sahara as an enormous, permanently
hopeless expanse Of sand. those ac-
quainted with the results Of geo
graphical survey conducted about 1893
have known also that the Sahara is
not absolutely unfit for either plant or
animal life. Rain falls sometimes In
the great desert and there are under
ground streams that could be made
available for water. The present oases
could be developed and others created.
provided beginning were made by
establishing strategic roads and intro
ducing sense of law and order among
the desert tribes for the security of
those who were trying to develop the
country. In its entirety the region in
cluded In the Sahara contains already
a good deal of spontaneous vegeta-
tion; 1t grows number of forage
plants and shrubs that serve as pas
turage for caravans. and could doubt

peaches, grapes and various cereals

Enoland harbors Ex.oueens.

England will soon be the land of five
queens, potential and powerful group
either in politics or poker. The figure
resembles a misdeal, but it is ex-
planned by the fact that England has
queen and a queen mother, while
there are in England the one-time

two other foreign ladies are deep in

queens, as an observer has remarked.
In modern history. The two whom
Empress Marie will join are Empress
Eugenie and the queen mother of Por-
tugal.
These three women plainly tell the
story of greatness. One of them was
driven from her throne and her son
was killed fighting for another coun-
try; another was exiled after having
been robbed of her husband and son,
and her other son driven from the
throne; the last was widowed and her
son, her grandson and her grand
daughters brutally murdered.

SARDINIA LIVES IN THE PAST
Hand SiekIes and Wooden Pows
Drawn by Oxen Are Still In
Use on the Island.

Relics of Biblical pastoral life, plow-
ing with wooden hooks drawn by oxen,
reaping by the most primitive imple-

nOmadic peoples Of antiquity remain
the manner Of living today in Sardinia.
according to DIR. Alfred P. Dennis,
commercial attache of the United
States embassy at Rome, who has just
returned from the island after making
an exhaustive study into trade possi-
bilities.
"Sardinians present living picture
of the remote past which has been
stereotyped and handed down from
antiquity" said Doctor Dennis. "Wa-
ter wheels with earthen buckets, wood
en- plows drawn by oxen. the scythe
and the sickle still In use in reaping
vast fields-nomadic occupations un-
changed since the days of the Aryan
dispersion-tribal costumes as gay and
grotesque as the trappings of the me
dieval pageant-all reproduced in the
veriest similitude the archaic life Of
bygone ages"

SHE UTTERED NO CRITICISM
But Many Will See Deep Significance
in That Kiss Bestowed by
Minister'S Wife.

Now, everyone knows that the min
ister's wife must not say harsh things
about anyone, no matter how she
thinks. Also that though she be forced
to listen to criticism she herself must
not give any. The other evening an
Indianapolis parsonage woman was sit

the young girls of her husbands con-
gregation came to call. Hardly had
she settled herself comfortably before
the young miss began to condemn Wig
orously very parsimonious member

"He wouldn't give cent to recar-
peting the parsonage" stormed the
visitor, "yet he had plenty of money
to buy himself a new seven-passenger
touring car. just hope that every
time he starts out in 1t he'll have a
puncture."
The minister's wife had only that
morning spent three hard hours mend
Ing the old carpet. She didn't say a
word of reproof- merely looked at the

PATRIOTS GET POOR REWARD
British Soldiers Who Won High Dis

Attention has been directed to the
hard case Of men who won distinction
in the great war, and seem to have

Sir Douglas Haig that a demobilized
officer who won the V. c., d. S. o.,

streets of London In search of work.
The other is the announcement that
Mr.. Arthur Richings has rejoined the
Cardiff police force as an ordinary
eurstable, Notwithstanding the fact
fhat he has just relinquished the army
rank of lieutenant colonel.
The latter's record Is an astounding
enc. He was promoted second lieu

promotions We're astonishingly rapid.
Mentioned in dispatches three times,
he wears six wound stripes. the Mons

Migratory Bird Law.

The constitutionality of the federal
migratory bird treaty act, approved
July 3. 1918, is upheld in an opinion
rendered not long ago by Federal
Judge Jacob Trieber Of the eastern
district of Arkansas in the case Of the
United States against E. d. Thomp-
son of Memphis, charged with killing
and possessing one robin in violation
of the act.
This is one of the most important
decisions ever rendered affecting the
conservation of wild life. 1t sustains
the right of congress to enact legisla-
ton to insure the execution Of the
terms of the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, concluded
August 10. 1915, for the protection of
migratory birds in the United States
and Canada.
1t will be recalled that Judge Trie-
ber in 1914, in the case of United

A very interesting bit Of tunneling
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock and ut one point test holes
showed thickness of only eight
inches of sound dry rock above the
line along which the top Of the tunnel
was to run. AS the tunnel was being
driven without the use of compressed
air it was decided to drop the upper
heading four feet until this thin cover
of rock was passed. The cast iron
lining was set in place at each side
of this section and then the rock was
removed very carefully by using a
great many holes each loaded with
about one-eighth Of stick of dyna-

Shell. HELD Oil eeoIools..

The little jellylike animals which
the scientist calls Foraminifera swarm
so abundantly in the sea that their
tiny cast-off shells in some places
make up a considerable. part Of the
sediments which are laid down on
the sea bottom and which in time
may become beds of rock in land
area. The small size and the COM
pactness of these shells protect them
from some Of the accidents that be-
fall the remains Of larger animals. so
that in many samples Of well borlngs
the Foraminifera are the only shells
that have survived in recognizable
form the vicissitudes Of drilling. In
the hands of the specialist trained to
identify fossils, the Foraminifera
may furnish the only available clue
to the age of rock incloslng them
and consequently to the existence Of
strata or structure favorable or un-
favorable to the accumulation Of oil,
gas or water, according to the United

GOAT MEAT GOOD AS MUTTON
Il 10 Said Only Experts Are Able
to Tell the Difference Be-
tween the Two.

There is q growing disposition to
give the goat his due. Heretofore this
rubbish-eating animal has been re-
has continued to eat tin cans and
thrive until now his race has ac
quired census-listing proportions and
a market has been established in a
middle-western city where surplus
goats will be converted into "spring
lamb" for the benefit of our non-vege-
tarians. As an addition to the poor
mans meat perhaps the goat will be
welcome, especially II his advent tends
to lower the present high prices.
Goat meat tastes much the same ms
mutton. it is claimed, and that the diff
ference cannot be told save by an ex.
pert. Perhaps that is just as well.
Our Imagination has much to do with
our taste. Many people are eating
impression that it is beef, for horses
are slaughtered, but almost nowhere
is their meat exposed for sale under
its true name. No doubt the easiest
way for us to get used to goat meat is
to camOuflage it as mutton. 1t is an
other case of ignorance being bliss.
But, as we are assured by the ex-
perts that it is wholesome, name
will not make much difference in the
end Mutton, the world over, has been
the poor mans meat. If goat meat
can add to the supply, so much the
better. The meat of goats was
favorite in the days of the patriarchs
It is still highly priced in the East.
There seems to be no reason why it
should not ultimately hold respect
