will not provide the funds necessary

amount of their tax levy cor read

have announced that they will raise

Mr.. Hoag said. Agreements under
which the state OF Nevada accepts

for use in construction work in this
state have been made. Contracts on
which the time limit had expired

continue our campaign for more ex-
tensive recognition of our road as a
primary and secondary route"

Returning from France, Reverend

Then he began doing other things.
He rigged up gymnasium in the
basement Of his church and gave box
Ing lessons to the boys Of the Sunday
school. The church liked It.
Reverend Blackman refused offers
from larger churches to stay with his
pastorate In Chanute. His view Of
Sunday "blue laws" Is characteristic: !:
ITO my mind the advocacy Of such

Western Nesspaper Union Ness Service.

Dublin.-Eamon de Valera resigned
from the presidency, and the proposal
for his reelection to that office, which
includes the office of premier, was de-
feated in theDail Eireann by a vote of
60 to IS.
Mr.. De Valera made it clear that all
the members of the ministry, whether
they voted for or against the treaty,
went out Of office with him.
Lest there should be any doubt, VIII
liam Cosgrave, minister Of local gov
ernmcnt, who daily. he said, was send
Ing out letters from his department to
Irish public bodies, asked If all that
was to stop. De Valera replied it must
stop until successors of the former
ministers were appointed.
The vote on De Valera's reelection
was doubtful, until the figures were
announced. The London delegates,
who signed the treaty, were divided,
four voting against De Valera and one,
Robert c. Barton, in his favor. Mr..
De Valera himself refrained from v0t-
ing, while Liam ROislte, member for
Cork city, when his name was called,
said he would not take the responsible
ity for plunging Ireland into fratrlcid-
al strife.
Cheering followed the announcement
Of the figures. Both Griffith and Col
Inns were quick to pay tribute Of ad-
miration to Mr.. De Valera while the
whole assembly arose and applauded
him.
A noteworthy feature Of Mr.. De
valeras later statement was that talk
of fratricidal strife was all nonsense !;
| the Irish people would know how to
conduct themselves.
The course to which the former
president, after his defeat, urged his
opponents was to appoint president
In his place and let that president ap-
point his own ministers. He accepted
defeat In good spirit and pledged his
support to the new government so
long as 1t was marching along the
road to Irish independence. He eX.
planned his reasons for asserting to q
motion for his reelection were the
same as for declining to 90 to London

DENVER LIVE STOCK,
Cattle,

The average quality was nothing out
of the ordinary and nothing OF the
strictly toppy kinds were offered. This
fact. however, did not deter traders
and all stuff moved well. The best
steers of the day. though not of a
choice class. sold for Sc and other
sales of such stock were made In the
neiehborhood OF that figure.
The female section was favored with
better supplies and the demand for
good types of stock was good. Trad
ing In this section was more active but
the prices paid were not considered
more than steady. Cows Of good quail
ity changed hands at $3.50 and the less
desirable ones. were sent across the
scales at slightly lower figures. Some
sold at 81 and some at $4.35. Heifers
were scarce but the inquiry for such
stock is holding very good. Sales were
made at $3.50 and S4.75.
Trading In the feeder and stockei
division was reduced to a minimum
for $3.50 and quotations ON straight
feeder steers range from $5.75 to 81
for the choice to fancy kinds.
Despite the larger run OF hogs that
was received on the local hog market
the trend OF the market was toward
higher levels and traders In general
were calling the market steady "a
stronger.
Supplies have held up in fine shape
and the totals at the close will prob
ably show q record for the season
bulk Of sales ranging from $665 Il
1920.
Small killers paid the top price In
their purchase OF one load Of choice
quality hogs averaging 2o6 pounds, fol
S7.25. Packers top was i720. and cut.
out hogs were quoted from $3.50 tc
S6.75. with the quality kinds at little
higher level.
Only a few old head Of pigs were Of
fered. Good kinds sold from te to
1925. and nothing was offered that
topped those figures.
Supplies Of sheep followed the trend
of the past two weeks, there being only
Q minimum amount Of stock offered fol
sale. The few loads were chiefly Of
the killing class and these were
snapped up quickly by the local buy
ers. Such stock has met with q broad
outlet here for some time and the
prices being paid are advantageous to
shippers. The best fat lambs on sale
were taken over by packers for 5000
which represents the top SO far this
season. Two loads Of lambs, averag-
ing about eighty-five pounds. sold at
that figure. Two loads Of fleshy
warmed-up lambs Of an attractive
quality. averaging seventy-fivs pounds,
sold for Ss.s5 flat, and packers also
took a load for $3.50 flat.
Business In the feeder and stocksr
section was very limited and traders
were just calling that section steady.
