KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.
Hogs and Lambs Higher but the Cat
 tie Market Is Weak.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. G. Hogs were 10 to 25 cents higher and lambs 25 cents higher. Hogs sold into new high position for the winter packing season, and lambs with $13.75 top were the highest m more than a year past. Trade in cattle was quiet with a lower tendency Tn the market. Liberal receipts and lower prices in Chicago caused the weakness here.
 Today's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 1S,000 cattle, l13.000 hogs, and 5000 sheep, com pared with II, ,000 cattle, 14,OOO hogs, and II ,0O0 sheep a week ago, and 5000 cattle, 13,200 hogs, and 12,700 sheep
 Beef Cattle.
 With receipts fairly liberal, quality ordinary and lower prices in Chicago the market here for fat cattle was weak to 15 cents lower. The only ex- ception to the general weakness was few early orders for cows, helfers and handy weight steers at steady prices. The few good fat steers of fered sold at weak prices, and most of the classes were off 10 to 15 cents. Cows and heifers were mostly 10 cents lower, and veal calves were weak to % cents lower.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 The supply of feeders was increased materially by the large number of half fat steers offered Most of them found a country outlet but at lower prices. Thin feeders and most of the stockers were quoted steady. Stock cows and heifers were steady.
 Hogs.
 Hog prices were quoted up 10 cents to 25 cents, mostly 15 to 20 cents. The least advance was on rough heavy packing and mixed medium weight grades. The top price was $9.25 and the bulk of the good hogs sold at $S.85 to $9.15. Pigs sold up to $9 The general character of the demand to- gether with light receipts offered in- dieate that the hog market is headed towards the 10 cent level.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 Choice Colorado lambs today sold up to S13.75, the highest price paid in more than year, and 45 cents above January's top. Other good lambs sold at $13.50 to $13.70. The market was 25 cents higher Fat sheep were in light supply at strong prices.
 Horses and Mules.
 Trade in horses and mules retained about the same activity as last week with receipts showing moderate in- crease. Prices were unchanged.

POLITICAL MASS MEETING.
In Auditorium Hatfield, Friday Night
 March 3. at 7:30 D. m.

What we voters. want to do is to make all candidates coming out for county judge and representative. let them be Democrats, Republicans, So- cialists, Citizens Ticketers or what not, commit themselves openly on now they stand with regard to our taxes and future road matters. The subject of taxing personal property is already a warm one and needs plenty of public airing.
 These are some of the subjects to be discussed at this meeting and all deeply interested persons will be al- lotted time to talk. So come out. Now is the very time to act. A delay means that we will have to grieve over some more spilled milk two years hence.
 Be on hand and tell what you know and hear what others know. Joe Lewis.

Its about time for some slick easy
money seeker to drop into town and
work the merchants on some form
of worthless advertising scheme. We
can step into dozen business places
and dig up a lot of so-called valuable
reference cards, a hotel blotter. a
church calendar or some other printed
sheet which has ten per cent of mac
curate data upon il and ninety per
cent of practically worthless advertis-
ing matter. 1t beats the Dutch how
many people say yes when No is short
err and means more. - Brodhead indie

What every business man knows is
that life is Just one drive" after an
other.
Perhaps there is no single thing
that iritstes and disgusts a man more
than the sight of woman who doesn't
like children.

theory that taking advantage of oppor-
tunity means taking advantage of the

SENATOR LENRooT. of Wisconsin,
holds that the greatest enemy of Ameri-
ca is the political demagogue. He says:
His presence is not confined TO any
political party, for he is found in all
parties He cannot be imprisoned, and
there is only one weapon with which
he can be destroyed. and that is en-
lghtened patriotic public opinion The
greatest national problem is law en-
forcement Everywhere there seems
to be lessened respect for law and this
constitutes the greatest menace that
confronts the nation today. The delib-
crate violator of the law ia an enemy
of the republic and is not worthy of
citizenship in it. ! thoroughly believe
in the declaration that the best way to
get rid of bad law is to enforce il.
II is the right of every citizen TO advo-
cate the repeal of any law, but he has
no right to disobey it while it is in
force. " - National Republican.

ANIMALS Blush.

Poets have for ages regarded the
blush as thing of beauty in the
gentle sex but, after all, it is only
Il rush Of blood to the face, caused by
modesty or some other emotion An
finals blush, too, we are told, but
through fear Horses blush in their
ears, especially the left one When
a horse is frightened his left ear will
be found to be very much swollen.
ThiS is also the case with rabbits.
Cows and similar animals blush just
above the hoof while the dog uses IL
tail for this purpose. When dog y
frightened his tail hangs limp as he
has lost all control over it. Even IN
sectS are said to blush They do 1t
in Weir antennae, or feelers.

LAWS NOT A CURE ALL.

One Of the chief reasons why our
postwar period of reconstruction has
extended over so long time is the IN
sound notion we have had that laws
will solve serious economic and social
problems We have turned to Congress
and to our state legislatures for RENE
dies when as a matter of fact the only
remedy was TO be found within our
selves individually. We have cluttered
up our statutes which only made the
return Of stability more complicated
instead of easier. There are now signs
of revolt against the passage of num-
berless laws and it ia a welcome and
hopeful sign. The watchword for our
lawmakers in the future should be few
er laws and less hampering with private
business and individual enterprise.
Progress is made by human beings,
not by legislation. = Lincoln (Neb)
