LIVESTOCK TRADE
is DULL DESPITE
SMALLER SUPPLY
That Producers Cut Runs
Is of Little Consequence
to Market.
Nv L. C. GRUNDELAND.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Chicago, Feb. 10.-Cattle supply
was not large today while the run
Of hogs also fell short of the number
on hand a week ago. Sellers had
only about 5000 stale hogs on hand,
but still the trade was slow for all
grades. The market closed lower last
week and there was dull feeling left
over. Most of the sellers looked for
a break in calf prices at the opening
of the present week, but the country
cut the supply and this helped the
trade.
Receipts were 21.OOO cattle, $1,000
hogs, $1,000 sheep and 1000 calves.
Trading was a little slow in the
cattle pens, but values were about
steady, compared with the low time
at the close of last week. This was
far below the best time of the period,
however. Some heavy steers sold at
$40 to S10.25, while choice yearlings
were placed at $1,000. Cows and
heifers had slow market at weak
prices, Gamers sold fairly well at
So to $3.40 for good lots. Bologna
bulls at S. were fully steady. Calves
also held well, with some strong spots.
Choice lots went to small buyers. at
81.
Values were lower for butchers at
the start. Good medium weight hogs
sold at $7.75 to IS which was about
a dime off. Sellers expected the same
for light hogs and they held the best
as high as $S.25 early. This end of
the trade was % cents lower after
late start. however, and the best
stopped at $S.15 with bulk of light
and butchers at S7.75 to $50. Rough
packing hogs sold down to $3.50.
Quality was not of the best in the
sheep pens. Lambs were as much as
20 cents lower in many spots. while
some sold nearly steady. Good wool
stock went at S1475 to S15 with
bulk of shorn lambs at Si2.25 to
$3.50. Aged muttons were generally
steady. Some 120 pound ewes went
TO city butchers at $3.50.

CAMP AND COTE

In spite of the fact that The Herald

an editorial some time ago, attention
is called to the belief of that level
headed person, Walter Camp, that the
Coue idea OF being able to accomplish
anything within reason" by the use
of the imagination, is sound Mr..
Camp, in a recent article in Golfers
Weekly, declases that the practice of
visualizing success in sports has help
ed many contestants TO victory. He
states that a high jumper, having
failed twice to clear the bar, stated
that he had mental picture of the
bar as he would look down at it.
having cleared it. when he made his
third attempt which proved to be sue
cessful. Mr.. Camp cites the kicking of
a field goal by Harvard man in the
last game against Yale. The drop
kicker had the picture in his mind of
the ball going between the goal posts
and over the bar 1t did. The noted
writer on sports theories along this
line, touching many branches of sport,
as the idea has been mentioned in
these columns of visualizing the per-
feet fight Of the golf ball, oneself
'following-throush" and making the
perfect swing. Mr.. Camp treats it
firm in the conviction that

performance.
But there is another thought. even
more worth while. in connection with
his discussion. 1t has a bit OF the

THE SYMPATHETIC COUNCIL.

Two matters came before the coun-
Gil last night which brought out the
human understanding Of its mem
bers. The attitude of that body in
regard to them is deserving of a word
of commentator.
Provision was made for the cree
ton of new building in which to
properly house the older women in
mates of the Town Home. Not one
word was said in opposition to the
plan whereby the city will be au-
thorized to spend $4,000 year for
six years $4,000 being included in
the budget just prcpared to pay for
the new building so badly needed in
order not only to make proper provi-
sion for these people. but also to
provide, as far as humanity possible.
against ira gedy at the Town Home
similar to that of Wards Island, New
York
The other matter was In regard to
the $500 salary increase for the clerk
of the city and police courts. Ample
evidence was offered to show that il
would be an injustice to refuse this
increase. owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case. Emil DAN
berg. the incumbent, has been forced
to give up his private Office owing

rcsitions he holds and. in the opinion |

to the ground by the presidents In.
sistcnce on balanced budget.
Ten years have elapsed since the
passage of a public buildings bill by
congress. Every year the same plea
of economy has been used to put off
the long hoped-for action. In the
meantime, conditions at every impor-
tant post office in the country have
been growing steadily worse, and il
would seem that Doc. Coue himself
would be powerless much longer to
persuade the people that they can get
along another year without some steps
being taken to remedy the congestion
in their, mail handling stations.
By way of proving the old saw that
hope springs eternal" the following
conversation overheard recently in
the lobby of the house of represent
tatiNes may be cited.
A certain congressman--it might
have been any congressman, for all
are in the same coat--caught sight
of Chairman John Langley.
We'll, John. what am | going to
tell the folks back home about that
new post office building?"
Were going to report it frst thing
in December and rush n right
through" declared John firmly.
the listeners all smiled
But the leaders are not doing any
thing to discourage the impression
that some action will be taken in the
next congress. They can. hardly af-
ford 10, in the face OF the growing
public demand for action.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

Today we celebrate the anniversary

less time the sentence, giving no news,

ment startles no one' II makes few
people think. The day + celebrated
because il has always been celebrated
is reason enough for most people
Some may 60 further and take
enough time TO declare that II Is
seemly we. as Americans, should OBJ
serve the anniversary of the birth OF
OF the first prominent American. But
we think little OF the reason for this
observance or the observance OF the
anniversary OF the birth OF any other
great man.
Certainly II the day Is worth notic-
ing II is worth thinking about. The
ancient reason for doing a thing be
cause It has been done for years" is
not sufficient nowadays. We are cast
ing aside old customs to the sorrow
of the old fashioned, to the satisfac-
ton of the modernst. Should the OBJ
servance of the day Of the birth of
George Washington be cast aside,
too? Does the world profit by re-
Numbering?
AS long as we are human we need
TO remember the men who have
died after great achievement. AS
long as we are human we
reed some concrete evidence of
the standards that have survived
in order that there may be chance
for comparison, for all is good, bet
ter, best" only by comparison. No one
human being. unless Christ be includ-
ed in such characterization, may be
held up as standard In all partcu-
lars. Humanity gives to all who have
lived, are living and will live, their
faults. But all of the great men of
history have given in their lives, stan
dards in certain particulars which 1t |
profits men to study. Few people can
imagine such an amount Of money as
one hundred trillion dollars; people
need something with which to COM
pare that amount in order to realize
what such sum would be. So, in
trying to make the most Of ourselves,
we need human standards, as shown
in human lives, to remind us of what
is possible of attainment No matter
how particular person may be about
his habits of thought, manner, dress,
he would become less par

to these things. No matter how am
bilious, honest, brave, fine a man
might be, the fine edge of the best
that is in him would be worn blunt
were he to forget how fine, brave and
strong men have been in the past.
The influence of the great things
heroes of the past have done may
never be calculated; the inspiration Of
Of their lives is long-enduring. That
