December 4, 1925
Held in check early in the week
by heavy receipts of fat cattle and
ket here was depressed moderate
ly in. the week and since Tuesday
all the loss was regained and the
market closed strong on fat steers
and higher on butcher cattle, bulls
and calves. Hogs started the week
lower but rallied in the past two
days, and are. fully as high as a
week ago. Lambs advanced and
made a new high position for the
season.
Weeks Receipts
Receipts this week were 43, $50
cattle, 500 calves, 43,175 hogs and
1880 sheep, compared with 1880
cattle, 1875 calves, 30,150 hogs and
16.600 sheep last week and 53,675
cattle, 1900 calves, 1875 hogs
and 1900 sheep a year ago.
Beef Cattle
In the first two days this week
fat steer prices broke 25 to So
cents Since then the loss was
more than regained and the gen
eral market closed the week firm.
There would have been higher
market here the entire week if
Chicago had not had such liberal
receipts and lower prices. Indica-
tiOns are that more eastern mar
kets will have liberal receipts the
rest of this month, but here the
runs will be moderate The best
yearlings here this week sold at
$1050 to $1150, medium weights
$1O.25 to $11.1O and heavy and
strong weights $1,000 to $10.S5.
None are strictly prime. The bulk
of the fed steers brought $3.50 TO
$1,000 Cows and heifers closed
the week 25 cents higher Quality
of the offerings is improving due
to more feed. Kosher demand for
heavy COWS is strong. Veal calves
advanced so cents to $1.00 and bulls
were up 25 cents.
StOckers and Feeders
In the first three days this week
trade in stock and feeding cattle
was active at strong prices Since
then only a few arrived and trade
was rather quiet on the close. De-
rland will continue as long as Of
feringS are available.
Sheep and Lambs
Lambs are rs to 40 cents higher
than q week ago and in the highest
position of the season. The bulk of
the fat lambs this week sold at SIG
to $16.50. Some of the plain and
ordinary kinds brought SIS to
$3.50. Ewes sold up to $S25 and
yearlipgs up to $13.25. Some feed
er lambs brought $3.50.

Before taking steps to recharge
the ''A' battery Smith was dispos-
ed to test the battery with the in
struments which he had bought for
that purpose. These, l told him,
were not essential in determining a
discharged battery but that they
were necessary in order to see that
the battery is always up to par.
Being a true radio fan he had
already provided himself with a
hydrometer and a voltmeter He
almost seemed to enjoy the oppor-
tunity to use them. This pleasure,
however, might have turned into a
few moments of dismay had he pro-
ceeded as he planed, for l found
him just on the point of testing the
"a" battery with delicate mac
curate, inexpensive combination
volt and ammeter.
Wait" | cautioned. You may
ruin that instrument if you use it
to test storage battery"
II don't get that at ALL" he said.
at will test all the way up to so
volts and the storage battery is
limited to six for all three cells
combined"
you're forgetting the amper-
age" l explained. ''If you touch
the ampere leg of this little instru-
ment to the battery terminal in
stead of the volt leg you may burn
it out. Remember that 120 am
peres for a battery of your size are
flowing through the delicate sole
mold coil of this meter. 1t will get
hot instantly. There'll be sparks
at the contact points, and, even if
you don't burn it out, it won't reg
lister properly for while. You
might try to test the b batteries
right after this and throw them
away thinking them run down, or
perhaps throw away the instrument
not realizing that it may be all
right for. testing the b batteries
later"
He was still puzzled, because

He told me, coming home. that he

probably sulphated. and to clear
them up it is sometimes necessary
to keep charging the battery even
after it shows a specific gravity

ers are not getting the best results
from their sets just because they

to start with a clean slate
With the charger definitely de.
cided upon Smith then asked few
questions regarding it's use.
No, you needn't fear overcharg-
ing the battery" l answered to his

first query. Just remember how
you often drive with your automo-
bile generator charging the battery
at rate varying from eight to
fourteen or more amperes. See that
you have distilled water up to with
in a half inch of the tops of the
plates of the cells and then use
the charger generously.
'Yes, it is perfectly safe to let
it run during the night. Connect
a double pole double-throw switch
so that you can switch the battery
to the set or to the charger with
out fussing with wires.

mo, you will have no trouble at
taching the charger. The wire to
be attached directly to the positive
terminal of the storage battery, or
indirectly through the switch, will
have a red covering. The battery's
positive pole is either marked Pos,
P or plus, or is distinguished by a
red circle"
Smith began to feel that his
method of learning radio was De
coming more and more positive, but
there were no circles to it.

.U.S AGENTS SMASH
BIG BOOTLEG RING
Hope to Convict 27 Men
After Spending Five Months
in Obtaining Evidence.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 24.-What
is regarded officially as the biggest
bootleg ring in the country has been
sma shed after being allowed to operate
five months. while regiment of Fed
eral agents obtained evidence on which
they hope to convict 27 men of con-
spiracy to violate the dry law.
Raiders of the new dry regime of
Gen. Lincoln G. Andrews yesterday
invaded two office buildings stimuli
taneously in the theatrical district at
Times Square, and arrested 13 men.
Warrants for IA more remain to be
served.
Seizure Of Steamer.
The ring, doing business in the guise
of a real estate firm, operated in
Canada and the United States. Fed
eral authorities learned about the ring
through the seizure of the steamer
NantiSco off Astoria, Long Island
last April, with 500 cases of liquor
after she had come through the Goa st
Guard blockade disguised with lum-
Der piled on deck.
Thirty agents put on the case found
that the ship had been bought at
Gloucester City. Va. by an agent of
the ring for 5000. The trail then led
to Irving WeXler, alias Wake Cor
don. well known crook. authorities
said. WeXler evidently got wind of
what was coming. and fled to Europe
with his wife few days ago in
luxurious stateroom.
Three Aides Arrested.
Three of Wexler's lieutenants. how.
ever. were arrested. The ring is said
Lax into o,t,, 20
in Nova Scotia, lease warehouses in
the United States and sold choice
liquors to Broadway cafes and
habitues. Only 27 pints of whisky
we're found in the offices. Records of
customers also were seized.
While the agents were there cafe
proprietor telephoned for a case of
claret. He was told to come and get
it. He did, and was arrested.
The raids yesterday carried out the
policy of nabbing the higher-ups and
letting the small fry, like bartenders
and walters, go. More than a score of
all-night cabarets have been padlocked
in recent months under the direction
of Federal Attorney BuCkner.
WeNler, or Wake Gordon. has
criminal record dating back to 1907.
Federal authorities say. He has been
arrested in Boston, Philadelphia and
New York on charges ranging from
grand larceny to suspicion of murder.
He has served terms in the Holms-
burg. Pa, prison; Elmira, y. Y, re-
formatory. and Sing Sing.
The ring, IL is stated. was permitted
to dispose of its wares all over the
country after the seizure of the Nan
tisco, in order that it's operations
might be watched. 1t even was per-
miteed to get more liquor from
Canada.

STUDIES
SPEECH TO LEGION
DevoteS Considerable Time
to Address to Be Given in
Omaha October 6.

President Coolidge has started pre-
pairing the speech he will make in
omaha, Nebr., October 8. at the an
nual reunion Of the American Legion
He sci 10 work yesterday afternoon nd
last night collecting data to read be
fore drafting his speech. and this
morning rolled up his sleeves and en-
tered upon the actual task of compi-
lation.
The President. as is his custom
when writing an address or some inn
portant paper, is doing this work III
his study, on the second floor of the
White House. He did not go to his
desk in the Executive office until af
ter IL O'Clock, when he had an en-
gagement for conference with Brig.
Gen. Frank T. Hines, director Of the
Veterans Bureau, and Immediately
afterward with Representative Mar
tin Madden Of Illinois. chairman Of
the House appropriations committee.
President Coolidge is known to be
giving considera BILE thought to what
he intends to say in his Omaha
speech He realizes that there Is
mare than ordinary significance at
tached to his utterances at this gath
ering of World War Veterans. This
is the first time he has faced an or
Sa nized body of veterans since the
adjusted compensa ton act was passed
over his veto. However. the manner
in which the veterans rallied to the
Presidents banner on election day
last November was -evidence that
there was no general i'll feeling to-
ward the Executive because of his
opposition.
Besides the significance attached TO
this speech because Of the American
Legion feature incident to 1t. there
is the reminder that the President will
be making his speech in section
of the country that Republican lead
ers Of the old-line type consider as
being difficult to control at all times
because of a common tendency on the
part of large number of the voters
to lean toward what is now referred
to in politics as radicalism and La
Follettism.
The Omaha speech will be the first
one President Coolidge has made since
his participation in the patriotic serV-
ices at Cambridge, July 3 last. Incl
dent to the celebration of the l5oth
anniversary of George Washington
assuming command of the American
Army.
Because of his hurry TO get TO work
on his Omaha speech this morning.
President Coolidge aba ndoned his Gus
tomary stroll Of a mile or two and
walked for only 10 minutes-just long
enough to get good supply of fresh
morning air in his lungs before

fronting him

SPIRITUALIST CLAIMS
CURE FOR BLINDNESS
Member of International Body Ex-
cites Attention as Well as Amuse-.
ment by Describing Treatment,

By the Associated Press
PARIS. September 24.-One of the
outstanding features of the Intes'na-
tional Spiritualist Congress which met
here recently was description given
by NJ. Connek. head of the Belgian
delegation, of a spiritualfst cure for
blindness. NJ. Conneks description
aroused much attention and some
amusement also among the Paris
skeptics. He said that his treatment
for blindness. which he declared had
met with great success. consist 81 of
placing bandages in water which had
been magnetiz3d during spiritualist
seances. These bandages he said. were
then placed over the eyes OF the pa
ti-ent and this was followed by prayer
and mediumistic passes.
However. NJ. Connek added the
spirits refuse to aid any one i'm this
manner who takes alcoholic drinks
during the period of the cure" The
conditions imposed on the patient dur
ing this period include q special diet
and entire abstinence from alcohol.
One man. NJ. Connek asserted. was
making such good progress toward a
cure that he went out and got drunk
70 celebrate. He then reIapsed into
blindness at once and remained in n ilat t
condition for five days before the
spirits would aid him again Now this
man refuses to look at a drink, NJ
Connek concluded.

countries. but expenditures of Ameri-
cans in France, investment of .Ameri.
can capital in France, etc. all reuuir-
ing careful examination.
AS for Fra nce's resources. an inter.
rogation point for the future. France s
money is still unstable.
Account must be taken Of possible
receipts from her creditors. for France
is not debtor nation only.
One point which does not concern
the French mission. but occupies the
attention of financiers and economists.
will undoubtedly play large part in
the conferences deliberations
Between 1914 and 1920 the United
States drained great part of Eu.
ropes gold in exchange for goods fur
nished to the belligerents. If all the
European war debts are consolida ted
and paid, there will be a mad cha Sc
after the dollar which in few years
will again drain Europe'S gold into
American Golfers. America will be-
come Europe's bondhoIder-but can
America live as a bondholder? That
is the interesting question.
Cannot Fill Two Roles.
During the past century two ma.
tions lived partly in this manner
Great Britain and France-but they
knew how to do it. and did not open
shops just across the street from their
debtors.
The Paris market was open to all
sorts of foreign loans. Kings and
sovereigns of neighboring countries
followed each other on royal visits to
borrow money. More than 5000 900 :
900 were thus owed to the French ma
ton before the war. Moreover, our
tariffs gave only feeble protection to
our industries. The debtors could sell
us their goods.
Great Britain. who lives still today
in part from foreign loans, has always
been a free-trade country, an inn
mense clearing house, and in no way
resembles America. nation sufficient
to itself. situated on territory of
tremendous wealth.
So America must choose: Europe
will be her debtor or her customer,
but certainly not both at the same
time. When Europe is seeking to buy
dollars in every market, wherewith to
repay debts to America, she will
hardly increase the difficulty by pur-
chasing American goods.
