SWIFT & CO.'S WEEKLY PRO
DUCE MARKET REVIEW

Butter prices stnadied during the
last week. Lower prices being ask
ed by retailers have increased con-
sumption. The cooler weather also
has made better trading and the
supply continues heavier than dur
ing the same period last year.
Poultry prices at consuming GEN.
tiers have shown some weakness, in
line with lower prices on other food
products. The movement from the
farms. however, has been normal at
steady prices. Prospects are that the
demand for dressed poultry will be
only moderate for some time.
Fresh eggs are moving in larger
quantities throughout the country,
due to rhe mild weather, and with
prospects for continued favorable
weather, receipts will naturally
show further increase, and markets
should work much lower

CHRISTMAS SNOW CAME DAY
LATE

The Riddles who found new sleds
among their precious teasures on
Christmas morning looked in vain for
snow that day. But on the follow
ing morning to their great surprise
and unbounded joy they found on
awaking that the weather man had
taken pity on them and had sent
down generous supply OF snow.
The snow began about 4:3O O'Clock
Sunday morning, and in short time
the ground was covered to tepth OF
three or four inches. Those kiddies
whose liberties were unrestrained
took advantage of the opportunity
and made the most of it. Late Sun
day afternoon the snow changed to
sleet, then to rain. Sunday night
and yesterday the streets were COW
cred with slush, and at times the
street corners were amost impass-
able.

ger to exist, the parents made appli-
cation to the county board at the Nov
ember session The claim was disal-
lowed. The case will be placed on
the circuit court calendar for the jan

Mrs. Matson states that when the
county built a culvert on the highway
which skirted their home, then the
residence of Mary Connor, it was de-
fective, in that no apron was provid-
ed to catch and spread the overflow
of water Early in 1915 the water
formed hole about 40x150 feet and
