ST.PAUL MARKET
Under Former Shipping Arrangements
South St. Paul Livestock Market
Glutted on Wednesday.
PRICES FORCED TOO LOW
Sixty Carloads Shifted to Other Mar
ket Days by Combined Action
of Farmers and Roads.

St. Paul, Dec. 29.-Losses amount
ing at times to $4,000 day, suffered
by northwest livestock shippers, may
be wiped out in time as a result of {
joint investigation undertaken by
farmers, railroad officials, packer:
and stockyard operators, the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau federation said to-
day.
The investigation showed that be-
cause of improper arrangement OF
shipments, the South St. Paul market
is glutted on some days and under
supplied on others. Records covering
1920 and the first six months Of 1921
show that shipments reaching the
market on Wednesday were from sc
to IS per cent larger than arrivals on
Tuesday and Thursday. Price records
for the same period show that hogs
brought an average of five cents a
pound less on Wednesday, due proba-
bly, to the large supply. The differ
ence between total prices received by
shippers for hogs on the market on
Tuesday and Thursday, and prices re-
ceivcd by those whose hogs were on
the market Wednesday, has amounted
to as high as $4,000, according to the
investigation department of the state
farm bureau federation
AS a result of the investigation
railroads have changed stock train
schedules so that SO to 60 cars of
stock which formerly arrived on Wed.
nesday now reach the market on
Thursday. Since these changes were
made, 17.6 per cent of all stock arriv-
ing each week has reached the market
on Tuesday, 20.4 per cent on Wednes-
day, and II per cent on Thursday.

THE DECLINE OF MANNERS
By Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, d. c. July 9.-"Are courtesies
between human beings to be entirely discarded!
asks one of our readers. Grown people now
are informal to the point of rudeness, ana
children are taught no manners at nome. Is
the next generation to grow up altogether au
naturel?"
This is an oft heard lament. 1t Is undeniapiy
true that the average mother no longer sets
aside a part of the day to instruct the chlldren
in the gentle art OF entering a parlor. Inc
parlor, we are told, is on the road to extinction.
And with it is going the atmosphere OF scraplng
and bowling which once distinguished high society
from the gatherings of the hoi polloi.
How to enter q room pleaslngly ana tne
kindred formalities are lost arts, perhaps. we
scarcely expect to find them in the modern
home. They were outgrowths OF court lire
founded on, the caste system and on the rear
Of those in power. The peasantry had little 10
do with etiquette, except that it was supposed
to show Difference to those who called them
selves its betters. The nobles, higher In the
social scale, had a right to wall themselves up
within certain barriers of formality. And, at
the top, the king was so aloof a parsonage that
the most elaborate CEREMONY possible preceded.
accompanied and followed everything he did
from putting on his clothes to receiving a gift.
That kind of formal etiquette has died out IN
this country. and it has few mourners.
But if what is known as common courtesy
is on the wane there is more cause for worry.
The courtesy that makes the people with whom
we come In contact comfortable, and that keeps
us from being unpleasant or offensive to them
is a vital factor of civilization.
What Constitutes Manners.
Personal cleanliness, good table manners, a
