Hogs sold over the following scale
of prices: Heavies sold at $3.50;
light hogs commanded price of
$12.s5: light light material was
slightly lower on the scale at $3.50
412.S5; medium weight material
moved at $12.65Q12.75; pigs averaged
$1175@12.50; smooth packing sows
brought s11.25@11.75; roughs cashed
at $1O.25@1O.75; stays were $500
11.50.
Heav. receipts in the cattle
market e; mated st 1,400, resulted
in a tendency on the part of the
buyers to cut prices. Several loads
of toppy material was seen in the
pens but most of it failed to bring
recent top prices because of the
general market slump. One load of
prime fat steers was priced at
$3.50 and several loads of first
class stuff was priced from $11 to Is.
The market on heifers, at the pres
ent time, is practically at a stand
still due to the heavy influx OF stuff
The market on this class of ma
terial today. consequently. was dis
counted heavily. One price scale
was $500. Cows continued to meet
with a steady demand and prices
held fairly steady at S4@S.

JADW|N SEEN AS
ENGINEER
CHIEF
Officers of This Corps Spec
uIating Now As to His
Successor
By VIVIAN LEE TILLMAN

With the conceding OF Brigadier
General Edgar Jadwin, present as
efstant chief of engineers of the
army, as the next chief of engi-
neers to succeed Major General
Harry Taylor. when that officer
retires from active duty June 2i,
1926. officers of the corps of engi
neers are vitality interested in who
will follow General Jadwin, mas
much as he will be retired, due to
operations of the law, on August z,
1929.
This will give General Jadwin
about three years service In office
as the chief of engineers.
He was a close "runner-up to
General Taylor when the last ap-
pointment was made for the office
OF chief of engineers. and was
made the assistant on June b.,
1924.
Taking into consideration the 1act
that If debility marks are on the
records of officers Of the army,
they are eliminated from appoint
ment to the grade of general Off
GERS. the Army and Navy Depar-
nhent of The Washington Times
has made a careful research into
the possibilities of officers of the
corps of engineers forN the appoint
ment to the grade of assistant
chief of engineers and also the chief
Of engineers after the retirement
OF General Jadwin assuming that
the Secretary of War will follow
the procedure of selecting the APP
pointees from the grade OF colonel
OF the corps of engineersl.
It is believed that the selection
win be made from among the first
six colonies of engineers. These
colonels, and the date of their re-
tirement follow: Colonies Charles
L Potter, Herbert Deakyne, 1881,
Spencer Cosby, 1881, Charles W..
Kutz, 1884. Meriwether L. Walker,
1888 and William Ladue, 1882. It is
thus seen that practically all Of
these officers will retire about the
same date.
Colonies Deakyne, Kutz and
Walker were the only officers OF
this list who served during the
war with the temporary rank in
the national army of brigadier gem
era1 and Colonel Walker was the
only one to receive the Distinguish
ed Service Medal for his services.
It is believed by the Army and
ton Times that Colonel Potter viii
be made the assistant chief Of
engineers on June 81. 1926. when
General Jadwin is advanced to the
higher rank, to serve until his
retirement in 1928.
It is then believed that Colonel
Walker will be made the assistant
chief OF engineers, succeeding
Colonel Potter, to serve until Aug
ust z Of the following year f1D2sl,
when he will become the chief Of
engineers, succeeding General Jad-
win who will be placed on the
retired list.
Colonel Walker would then serve
until his retirement in 1888. This
move, IL carried out by the Secre-
tary of War, would be mighty
pleasing to the officers OF the corps
OF engineers. especially those in the
Junior grades.

Think T1Uice!

DOLICEMEN are the points Of contact
L between the law-abiding public and
criminals. The mind is freakish temple
of many chambers, Always, lurking
around its dark passages, is the idea that
policemen take on the attributes of those
against whom they war and from whom
they protect the public.
The reason for this is psychological,
but it's real And it's wrong.
In the midst of traffic scrambes, in
dark alleys, in forbidding dens-always,
in places of danger in places repulsiye to
the average citizen-there you will find
your policeman protecting you against
evils you do not sense because you do net
know about them, and you will not know
about them until your policeman is off
his disagreeable job.
These thoughts are inspired by obser-
walton during the Knights Templar con-
clave. But they are applicable at any
other time. Stop and count six the next
time you want to cuss the policemen.
