OUR CHANGING WORLD

Since the early days when whaling ships sailed along the thousands of miles of coase of Alaska, from Ket- chkan to Demarcation Point much progress has been made.
 From hand methods of mining come mechanized equipment which increased the output of gold, and all other minerals many times, some many hundred or more times than is possible by hand methods.
 Nearly every class of enterprise in industry di recty benefited by the changes which followed in the wake of the first World War
 Motion pictures radio, commercial aviation, changes in way of living of thinking and the scope of world picture-these and we have to rely as modern necessties-yet few short years ago, they meant next to nothing and vaguely indefinite to the average man.

CHICAGO LIVESTOCK

CHICAGO, Oct. 11-R-Although
hog receipts showed some gain
over a week ago, the number still
was too small to meet the de-
mand and the market again was
a one price affair with most
grades and weights selling at the
STATS ceiling. Fed steers and
yearlings were steady to IS cents
lower, but the sheep market was
strong to mostly Is cents higher.
A supply of 5000 salable hogs
were received in Chicago, COM
pared to last Mondays 5,875
which were the first sold under
OPA ceilings. Receipts at the IL
leading western markets also
picked up from week ago, but
despite being almost normal for
a Monday last weeks starvation
receipts still had the effect of
closing the usually wide range in
prices on various weights and
grades.
Weighty steers were off 10 to Is
cents, but all choice yearlings and
light steers were in fairly good
demand. The bulk of these sold
for $14.50 to $16.40 with the top
at $685.. Rejecting good demand
from feeders, stockers showed
gains of Is cents. Bulls and veal
ers were very scarce, both selling
strong to Is cents higher.
The bulk of good to choice 05 to

Martial Law Lifted
In Denmark by Nozis

| LONDON, Oct 6 (P,.-The Berlir
radio announced today that German
occupation authorities in Denmark
had lifted martial law which was
ordered last month in an effort tc
end wave Of sabotage.
At the same time dispatches from
Stockholm quoted Swedish press re-
| ports as saying the Germans also
had ended nationwide curfeW un-
der which Danes had been banned
from the streets between 9 pm. and
am.
The situation within Denmark,
however, apparently remained un-
settled. Reports from Stockholm last
night said the Nazis had assumed
all police functions after arresting
high Danish police officials and dis
arming the state police, estimated
at about 1000 men.
The Germans were said to have
taken this action because of the
refusal of the Danish police to CO.
operate with them in rounding up
Jews and hunting down saboteurs.
