This arrangement continued un-
til mortgages given in 1920 and in
1924 by the Mounces on their whole
herd, estimated at between 500 and
1900 head were foreclosed by the
Wightmans. King gathered IL
head, which he claimed as part of
ke original four and their increase,
put j. H. brand on them and
fenced them in. Employees Of the
Wightmans opened the enclosure,
took the cattle out and drove them
away
King then brought suit for 25
head, which he valued at $875,. and
was given judgment in his favor
For six COWS, four yearlings ,aand
laree calves, in the sum of $1S6.
The supreme court now reNerses
the Judgment, and finds that ''as
btween the MOunces and King, the
latter owned the cattle claimed by
him, but not as between him and
third persons who, without notice
and in good faith, loaned money to
the Mounces or purchased cattle of
them. ~an@A

"Ab Not
Says Supreme Court
To Cattle Buyers

In @ decision recently rendered,
Of interest to all stOckmen, cattle
buyers, and lenders OF money to
stockmen, the state supreme court
affirmed the general principle of
law that buyers who do not brand
their cattle with their own brands
have no possessive rights against
the claim of one who may have
lent money on, or purchased the
cattle in the honest belief that they
belonged to those from whom the
new owner bought The judgment
of the ella county court was re-
versed This had been for j. S.
King and against L. e., Marvel W.,
and Dewey w. Wightman.
"The question is, said the court,
can the buyer of range cattle un-
der a verbal sale leave them, as
also the increase, in the range of
the seller in the brands of the sell
er, and claim them against a
mortgagee or purchaser who has,
in good faith and without notice,
loaned money ON them, or pur-
chased them from the seller?" Alb
sOlutely not, is the answer.
Evidence adduced at the trial
showed tnat King lived on the
range of Henry Mounce and his
wife, and was the owner of three
unpatented mining claims over
which the Mounce cattle ranged
In return for watering and sailing
them, the Mounces in 1914 gave
King four head of cattle and THEN
natural increase.
"The Mounce brands" says the
opinion, "were left on the origina
four head and placed on the in.
crease. These animals comminglet
on the range and We're not distin

CHICAGO, Dec. 27 (AP)-Help-
ed by a decrease in the United
States visible supply total, wheat
prices took an upward swing to-
day. Closing quotations Of wheat
were firm, II to x cent net high
er, with corn unchanged to 5s cents
off, oats at Is cent decline TO Il
cent advance, and provisions un-
changed to 20 cents down.
Almost from the outset, wheat
traders acted on correc t belief
that a falling-off would be shown
by the domestic supply figures to-
day. Most traders, however, ex-
pected that the wheat decrease
would be larger than provided to
tbe the ease. This fact; together
with a big >inldrease Of the corn
visible supply, tended somewhat to
make the wheat market as we'll as
corn react in the late dealings. Be
sides, deliveries of wheat today on
December contracts finally reach
ed a good sized amount, 241,OO0
bushels.
Month-end and year-end adjust
ment of accounts led to enough
buying of December wheat today
to lift the December price here to
premium over May at times,
whereas on Friday last the Decem-
ber quotation showed one cent a
bushel discount, Meanwhile, Win
nipeg messages today told OF talf
buying of future deliveries there
on the part of export houses.
North American exports for the
last week, too, showed an increase
both over the previous week ano
a year ago. Something of a set
back in corn values took place IL
connection with announcement o.
1,S26,000 bushels increase Of the
corn visible supply Offerings o.
oats lacked volume.
Provisions were responsive tt
upturns in the price Of hogs.

proved to be the musical event ol
the season, and netted a hand
some sum for the Salvation Armyd
fund, which the Baron is raising
here. A number of local musicians
joined with the noted soloist in
putting on a most delightful mus
ical treat.
An open air Christmas tree treat,
at which every chilli in town re-
ceived a gift was put on by the
combined efforts of the entire COM
munity here All the Older folks
were there too, to watch the little
ones enjoy it, and to Join in the
singing of Christmas carols. The
effect was unique, artistic, as Will
liams looks like one extended
Christmas card, now with snow
covered roofs, glittering many col
ored in the sun, and great icicles
hanging from the caves. The sun
shone gloriously and no one seem
ed to be too cold.
Seeing that two motorists who
had stopped in town with big

piciously day before yesterday, Of

to investigate them. The strang

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (AP)-The
stock market displayed a complete
reversal of form today, opening
with an outburst of strength in the
high grade industrials and then
turning reactionary with chief
selling PRESSURE against the morn
ing leaders. There was nothing in
the days news to explain this sud
den shift of speculative sentiment
but it was widely believed that
floor traders, sensing the inability
of pools to attract an outside fol-
lowing in the early upswing, sud
denly launched selling attack
which forced many issues ! to 3
points below their high levels of
the day Final quotations. were ir-
regular, with losses predominant
ing.
Optimistic forecasts of leading
bankers and businessmen, SYM
posiumsOf which was published this
morning were offset, at least in
part, by the decrease in manufac-
turing activity reported for No
vember and December by the Fed
eral Reserve board. Buying and
selling for the purpose of register
ing income tax losses is said to
have caused considerable irruglar-
ity in prices this week.
Rails offered better resistance
to selling PRESSURE than the indus

favorable November earnings state

I Ting the pessimism created by the

The Chinese Use
Boycott With a
Deadly Effect
Can't Make Own Tariff Laws So
Retaliate by Refusing to
Buy Goods

New York-Chinese use the
economic boycott with deadly
effect against nations that have
usurped their rights, said DR..
Charles K. Edmunds, provost OF
Johns Hopkins University, and
for 20 years a resident of China.
The Chinese have been stripped of
their power as a nation and are COM
PEELED to accept the theory of nom
resistance and refusal to buy goods of
those who wrong them. They are de-
MED the right to make their own
tariff laws, to suppress the opium
traffic and to enforce criminal law
against foreigners, who are tried by
their own nations in China for any
violation of Chinese law.
"China's boycotts are not gestures" "
said DR.. Edmunds. "These boycotts
are often not short lived. They some
times reach a size which makes them
truly effective The withdrawal of
japanese troops from Shantung was
not so much the result of conferences
either at Paris or Washington as it
was of the very stringent boycott in
China against Japanese goods, which

SHE'S ALL WRONG

A young woman came in an auto
mobile to Bradley Beach, New York,
went out on the sand, removed dress
that covered her two-piece bathing
suit, and plunged into the surf. The
three city commissioners, hearing of
the incident, assembled in solemn con-
ference, expressed shocked disapprov-
al and prohibited the practice Bath
ers hereafter must natronize the bath
houses.
Anyone who would disapprove of
that kind of undressing on a beach
must be rather morbidly sensitive.
But we approve of the commissioners
act. In the first place: the bath
house concessionaires, like all of US,
are trying to get rich and should be
helped along. Second: 1t would be
bad to have our beaches strewn with
clothes. For it is such things that
small boys tie in water-soaked knots.
1t is is often the case that both
flivvers and flappers need a new coat
of paint, and it is sometimes difficult
to tell which one needs it the most.

caused Japanese merchants to lose
millions of dollars a day for several
months, and finally led them to see
that the predatory aims of the mill
taristic group then controlling this
governmental policy were modified.
The Cantonese have been and still are
maintaining an economic and labor
strike against the British in Hong
Kong and Canton, which began more
than year ago. Thus they are able
to force concessions, if need be"
DR.. Edmunds can see no solution of
difficulties in China until western ma
tions remove the cause and treat
China as member of the great fam
lily of nations, rather than as an in
ferior, and an object of exploitation.
