SIOUX CITY
FEBRUARY MARKET
MANY MEX TOPS REACHED DUR
ING THE MONTH.

Sioux City, March 2.-The month
of February was bullish as far as
the hog market was concerned. A
sensational advance of So per hun
dredweight, was scored, placing the
basis higher than it has been at any
time since November, 1920.
On the first day of the month the
average cost at the yards was $8.5l
and the top $3.50. The advance was
gradual, with very few setbacks. The
top on the 9Th was $9.10; on the
18th, S9.45; on the 21st, $1,000,
and since then has gone up to 5000
on the closing day of the month.
The average cost was $10.42.
The cattle market has not shown
much improvement, but there is a
strong undertone to the trade at this
time and indications point to better
ment in the near future. There is a
shortage of beef in the country and
this is beginning to show on the mar
ket At the present time prices are
at the high time for this year. Along
with top notch heavy steers al
$8.25, choice cows have sold up to
$6, heifers up to 81 and veals reach
ed $40. Stockers and feeds also are
selling at the high. time since last
fall.
The sheep market has made the
most rapid advance. AT the close oi
last year lambs were selling around
$3.50 for a top. The quotable top al
this time for fed western lambs IL
$15.75 and natives up to $3.50.
New tops were put on the local
cattle and hog markets on the Tues
day trade. A load of heavy steers
cashed at $8.25 and choice of light
hogs made 5000. These prices are
the highest of the year.
The steers were marketed by A
d. Adden, young farmer and feed.
er near Dalton, Ia. The cattle were
bought on this market as calves two
years ago They were of the Short,
horn breed and had been fed 10t
days. There were "a head in thu
drove, with an average weight of l.
444 pounds.
The top load of porkers was mar
keted by Peter Mcintyre and Jorr

The driver of the truck was MAX

wagon. 1t is alleged by the driver
of the truck that the wagon hogged
the road until forced him over the
bank. The top was almost wrecked.

PLAN COURSES
DISABLED MEN
MAKE READY FOR NEW SYSTEM
OF TRAINING AT SOUTH DA.
kOTA AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE.

Brookings, March "A new sys-
tenn of training for the disabled vet
erans sent to the school of agricul-
ture at State college has been inau.
gurated, following out plans approx
ed by the United States Veterans
bureau. These men are not high
school graduates and cannot take
regular courses, and their physical
handicap usually prevents them from
taking up general agriculture as a
means of livelihood.
The new plan, which will soon &C
into effect, will enable these men tc
select one of three unit courses foI
specialized training. These will in.
clude dairy husbandry, animal hus
bandry and poultry husbandry, com.
bined with agriculture and horticul
ture.
The course will comprise "a
months of consecutive and intensive
training combining as much practic'
al work as possible. Then the stu
dent will start on his actual project
whereby he hopes to carry on. This
project will be supervised by the vet.
erans' bureau and his pay will con.
tinue for IL months.
1t is hoped by this means to en-
able these men to get established and
become self-supporting. The course
of study comprises half time on the
special unit course and half time or
such general subjects as English
business methods, soils and crops
animal diseases, arithmetic, cos
keeping, marketing, etc.
If any of the men have farms Of
their own and wish to engage in gen
eral mixed farming, they may take
the regular school of agriculture
course of five months each year de
signed for eighth grade graduates
with seven months of pre- It wori
during the growing season. is no
expected, however, that meny viii
wish to follow this plan.
The men who can qualify to tak'
up regular courses in college in agri
culture, engineering, phar m y
teach er training, ETC., have no diff
ficulty in preparing themselves fol
independent acreers.

PROBING TAYLOR
MURDER CASE
WOMAN ACCUSER STRICKEN
WITH A SERIOUS ILLNESS.

Los Angeles, March Mrs. John
Rupp, accuser of two men in the
William d. Taylor murder mystery
was suddenly stricken with illness
today. Authorities would not admit
the illness was mysterious. Doctors
said Mrs. Rupp had influenza symp-
toms. 1t was not held unlikely, how
ever, that the drug peddling, boot
logging ring suspected of killing Tay
lor would hesitate to remove another
person considered dangerous to their
interests. Therefore, through Mrs
Rupp's illness probably is due to ma
tural causes, her case is being watch
ed closely.

LLOYD GEORGE NOW
 STANDING ALONE
Cooperative Pact, So Likely Yes
 terday, Seems Near Smash

London, Oct. 3l tBy the Associat cd Press)--The so-called co-operatiye . paN between governmental conserva- , tive circles and the Lloyd Georgian national liberals which yesterday ap- peared to be gaining strength today seemed near smash-up that may force Lloyd George 10 really carry out his threat to spread the war" and wage bitter fight to the finish with the men who brought about his downfall.
 One trouble seems to be that con- servative candidates have bobbed up against those running under tho Lloyd | George banner in certain constituent cies where the latter had regarded themselves as safe from tory attacks. Lloyd George Is reported as being in disnant and as contemplating the carrying out of his threat if the conservative party does not withdraw some of the candidates already en- tered against his followers. Others feel sure that he will really "sp1ad the war" with vigor should the die- hards put up any more candidates against, the national liberals.
 Have Reserce Force
 At this time the Lloyd Georgians have about 160 candidates in the field and they are reported to have 250 others in reserve. It is said to be Lloyd Georges intention to let loose these reserves against the conserva- tivcs unless his demands arc met.
 The cooperative pacts-a' sort of '"you leave us alone in this district and we won't bother you in that dis trict" irnderstanding--first attracted attention through the anger Of the die-hardS at the prospect of a return to coalition, rule under the egis of a new government.
 No Pact Reached
 To combat this dissatisfaction the central conservative association an- nounced that in reality no pact had been reached, but that each consti tutency was at liberty to adopt what ever candidate it chose. Since that announcement national liberals and conservatives have been opposing one anothersin districts where they were believed to have reached on-inter- ference understanding.
 The Times says that Lloyd George Is still trying to come to an under standing with unionist headquarters but the party thinks tho unionists will find it impossible to make the ar rangement Lloyd George desires even If they wished 10 do so, Because the constituencies from which Lloyd George wants conservative candidates withdrawn are precisely those which are least likely to respond to an appeal from unionist chieftains. The newspaper thinks that a wide break between the two would. affect party relationships on every front and would produce chaos in Scotland. where in many large areas the unonists and national liberals are closely co-operat- ing.
 Still. tho Times contends, the Lloyd Georgian party, if it is to continue to live at all has no alternative but to spread the war"
 A clash between the conservatives and the Lloyd Georgians would likely result in an alliance between the na- tional liberals and the Asquithian free liberals in several districts

EATS. B PANCAKES
 TO WIN WAGER
New Yorker Thereby Induces Friend to Vote for His Political
 F'avOrite.

New York, Oct. 31.--It may not mean very much to anybody but Jim Hartnett and his doctors and may be the traditional nearby druc Lore, but the world is hereby informed that Jim Hartnett ate seventy three pancakes soaked In butter and plas- tered with jam. He is therefore the champion pancake eater of his dis trict, and he is willing to take on anybody for the pancake eating championship of the world. Maybe that wouldn't mean much to anybody either, but nevertheless that's the news.
 And because Jim Hartnett stuffed seventy-three pancakes inside himself and then walked home. though fec bly,, Dick Topley and John Mckenna, who, with Hartnett, hail from West bury, l.. l., have agreed to vote for Warner Baltazzi, the democratic nom- inee for congress from the first dis trict.
 TopIey and McKcnna have been undecided for some time whether to vote for Baltazzi or for Robert Bacon, the republican nominee. They chal- lenged Hartnett for a pancake eating contest, and Hartnett agreed if they would make their votes the. stake
 The eating contest was nheld at Hcsse's hotel in Westbury" and in thirty-one minutes Hartnett had cov- cred himself with glory and his in- sides with pancakes. That, if any body cares to figure it out, is more than two pancakes minute.
