Upon the part of the Central Em
pires this has been a war of greed
and lust for gain and conquest, and
those are the few attributes we can
not understand in any human char
acter. We can understand every
crime In the calendar but the crime
of greed, every lust of the flesh but
the lust for gain, every sin that ever
damned a soul but the sin of selush-

beasts of Egypt we'd rather be a
witch's cat and howl in sympathy
with our tribe, we'd rather bo a
tramp and divide our handouts with
one more hungry; we'd rather be a
mangy dog without a master and bay
at the moon with others of our kind,
than be a greed-mad warlord drunk
with lust for others' land, with the
blood of the snake, the heart of a
beast and carry our soul like Pedro
Garcia in our purse. Wheu we

REAL
STUPH
Stock Yards Station. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 6, 1919
Gentlemen and Friends:
While conditions al lthrough the east seem to
be in bad shape, especially, those that refer to
labor, our cattle market has held up exceedingly
well. We would call this market anywhere from
26c lower ot 25c higher. The advance, If any,
has been placed on the best corn fed beef steers,
which have been rather a scarce article this
week.
Western beef steers Blow and draggy on the
general run of stuff, but something prime about
steady. A bunch of real good Wyoming beef
steers selling here this week at $15.10. The
strike on two or three of the largest Railroads
have rather put a crimp in the outside demand.
It is very hard for us to determine at this time
what to advise you, but don't believe it good
policy to ship anything until this strike situation
clears up. You can get caught very easily at a
: market with stock at a critical time when it is
impossible to get anything in or out. Of course,
we don't believe the government will allow the
country to be tied up. We would call western
beef steers steady to 25c lower for the week.
Cows and mixed stuff: There seemed to be
a pretty good demand Monday for the best fat
cows and heifers, but Tuesday and Wednesday K
was very dull, and believe everything in the kill
ing line is 25 lower. On account of the good
clean up last week of stock cows and lieifers, the
demand has been very good this week and prices
fully 60 to 75c higher. The market is very
spotted.
, Stackers and Feeders: The receipts of cat
tle along this line have been rather light, and as
the yard traders cleaned up In a satisfactory
manner last week, they were right out early tak
ing on the desirable kinds as strong to higher
- prices. In faft, we believe the light stocker
- steers are anywhere from 50 to 75c higher. A
good many spots in Nebraska have been unfor
tunate in getting moisture, but many more have
received it, and as a consequence, the demand is
good. Corn prospects are also bright.
Wire us when you will reach Valley or Iin
coln to feed and we will sore be pleased to look
, after your business from them to the finish.

Every Labor Organization In Country Crying for
Cheaper Food Stuff Packers Taking
Off On Hogs in lUpid Style.
- The supply ot hogs at Omaha is exceedingly
light this week, and light at other markets, but
nevertheless, the market has declined $1.25 to
2.00 per hundred. Kansas City and St. Joe have
received a big Jolt the last couple of days. It
Is our opinion now, just the same as it was a
month ago, and you wil remember that we told
you to get your hogs In if they weighed 200
pounds or better and carried flesh. We really
believe hog will see a much lower level.
Omaha Gets Heaviest Sheep Run or Any Market
on Map Fat Ianbs Strong and Higher
Feeders About Steady But Slow.
You will note that Omaha has received a
good portion of the sheep receipts coming east,
and while the labor troubles rather slowed up
things Monday and sellers had a hard time dis
posing of the offerings, it has braced up and
good fat lambs are higher today tops selling
around $16.25. . Top lambs in Chicago $16.25,
Tops at Kansas City $16.00. This is the best
market on earth. Watch our quotations and
ship to us.
Mr. A. S. Anderson, one of our friends living
in Gentile Valley, Idaho, arrived here today with
two loads of mixed shepe and lambs, and has
departed for home well pleased. Mr. Anderson
reports the range country in dried out condition,
; and in his opinion a great many cattle and sheep
men will be compelled to find grass very soon in
the eastern country.
Mr. It. A. Walker, a mighty good supporter
of the Inter-State arrived here today wKh three
cars of cattle from Llngle, Wyo., which sold In
nice shape, and went over the scales at a time
when the carried the fill. Mr. Walker brought
along his grandson -who enjoyed the visit very
much.
Sacriligious Wine. ,
The effort now being made to regulate the
sale of wine to clergymen for use In the sacra
ment reminded an Oiu'ahan today of a story told
by one of our customers who was here this week
looking over the market. '
Kansas is a "dry" state. One day a venerable
negro appeared at" the office of the Mayor of
Atchison, Kana.. and asked assistance to obtain
some wine.
"Who are you and what do yqu want it
for?" asked the Mayor.
"qAh is de Rev. Dr. Phlneas Jones, D. D.,"
was the reply," and ah wants dls yere wine for
sacriligious pu'poses. Ah done been told dat
you can git it fo' that."
, "You mean 'Sacramental,' don't you?"
"Yas, dat's It. Do ah git H?"
"Well." said the Mayor, "we can give you a
permit for wine for such purposes. What kind
do you want?".
"Well," answered the "Reverend," "de con
gregation done took a vote on it las' Sunday,
and dey Is unamalous fo' Gin.
Inter-State Still Holds the Record Price Obtain
ed for Carload Lots of Corn Fed Steers
at $18.60, April 7, 1019.
Mr. Otto HASselbalch, of Rising City, Nebras
ka arrived Tuesday ot this week with a load ot
choice Hereford steers which he has been feed
ing sometime. These steers averaged 1270
pounds and were sold by Mr. R. L. Reynolds,
President and SteerSalesman of the Inter-State
for $17.75. Mr. Reynolds, is well known to
both the western and native trade, and is also
the gent that disposed of 65 head ot 1400 pound
steers on April 7th, 1919 at $18.60 per hundred,
and will say that this price has never been
equaled. Mr. Haseeibalch is a good customer to
the Inter-State and a mighty good feeder. We
admire his nerve in sticking with these cattle
until it reacted. In fact, about a month ago, the
same steers that brought $17.75 today would
not have brought more than $13.50.
Mr. A. G. Kngleman, of Litchfield, Nebraska
had a load -of good light weight hogs to the
Inter-State Monday of this week which were sold
for $22.25, the extreme top of the market, and
the only load that sold for the money.
Mr. Chaa. Walters, ot North Platte, Nebras
ka was down this week with a load of mixed
sheep. Mr. Walters Is an extensive operator in
the live stock game, and a good customer to the
Interstate.
Mr. Neia Troelstrup, a progressive cattle
man at Grand Island, Nebraska was down this
week with a load of cattle.
Gentlemen Remember the Inter-State

partment, and at the present time are in shape
to handle your cattle, hog or sheep business
much better than any time the last ten years.
