Five markets received 4 IS. 000 fewer cattle than in November last year, yet prices declined more than a dollar a hundred pounds, and on some classes, notably corn fed steer:;, the decline was as much as $:? a hundred. Rattle are $3 to $5 a hundred pounds cheaper than a year ago. despite the reduced supplies. There is a similar situation in the hog market. Five principal center received :577,000 fewr hogs last month than a year ago, yet hogs are $5 a hundred pounds lower than at this time last year and the decline in November was about $3 a hundred pounds. Aside from the influence of the general downward movement in pric es of all commodities, packers attri bute the slump in livestock to some special reason, among which are the big corn crop which is expected to make liberal winter supplies of fat animals. Diminished foreign de mand is another factor, and a third is the extreme depression in the market for by-products, especially hides, for which there is little de mand, even though prices are down CO per cent from the high of 11)19 and are below pre-war prices. The present depressed market for livestock is causing enormous losses to feeder. Many fed cattle have sold for less than they were worth before they were put on feed in other words, the owners lost all the value of their feed and labor, and even more. Notwithstanding the reduced re ceipts of cuttle for the month Chi cago made a new high record for the week ending November 29. with 134.300 cattle and calves-. Largo receipts of Canadian and northern range cattle accounted for the record. JUST TO KEEP YOU POSTED We take this method of informing the public of a few of the big pic tures which we have recently con tracted for. Our reason for so doing is because you have been led to be lieve that v.e have lost our Para mount contract, and that the big Paramount pictures would no longer be shown at the Parmele. 'This, however, is not the case, as we have recently renewed our Paramount contract with the biggest, best and latest program rclea.-es, special re leases, and super-special releases, in fact everything that. Paramount has made, except a very few re-issues, such as "Itebec?a of Sunnybrook farm," which we played over 2 years r.go and a few others. Hut all of the late up-to-date releases, as well as all of the pictures they will re lease for some time to ccme, we hold the contracts for in Plattsmouth. Some of these are as follows: "The Right to Love," "Behold My Wife." with Elliot Dexter. "Idols of Clay," Fatty Arbuckle in "The Roundtrip" (the big stage play in seven reels). "Humoresque", (Absolutely the big gest of them all), Tom Meighen in "Conrad In Quest of His Youth." Dorothv Gish in "Flying Pat". Ar buckle in "The Life of The Party." "To Please One Woman." Wm. II. Hart in "The Testing Block." "Inside the Cup." "The Kentuckans," "Brew ster's Mllons," and so on. etc. We could fill this page with a list of the big pictures we have contracted for. but we think this partial list will give you some idea of what there is in store for you in the way of really big pictures. Wo also have Realart, United Artists and Metro contracts, which entitled us to such well known stars as Mary Miles Minter, Doug las Fairbanks. Viola Dana, Wanda Hawley. Bert Lytell. Nazimova and Mary Pickford. as well as many big special pictures from these compan ies. Cut the price you will have to pay is what you are mostly interested in. Well we told you nearly a year ago that our pictures would all be shown for one price. li and 25 cents and no more, regardless of what the big ones might cost us. We have stayed with our word and the re sult has been that our patronage has been constantly on the increase. , Therefor we will continue to show them all for the regular prices, name jly 15c and 25c. ! We thank you for the time it took you to read this. : Yours for fair plav PARMELE THEATER CO. Mrs. Bullock Recommends Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. "Last winter when mv children were sick with colds and were cough ing a good deal. I gave them Cham berlain's Cough Remedy." writes Mrs. C. M. Bullock. Gorbam. N. Y. "It relieved them at once and under this treatment all symptoms of the cold gradually disappeared. My ex perience with this medicine warrants my recommending it to others." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Washington. D. C, Dec. 3. The flavoring of home-made Christmas plum pudding, mince meat and bran died cherries and peaches with alco holic spirits is in violation of the prohibition enforce ment law and such foods are liable to seizure, it was stated today at the buieau of internal revenue. Officials explained that under their Interpretations of the enforcement act culinary products in which al cohol is an ingredient can be made enly by manufacturers of food pro ducts who obtain a permit from the government, and that such products must contain less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol. They also state that the regulations require that such products shall not be used or sold on the premises and that this effectively barred the housewife from making Christmas foods with liquor in them. The regulations specifical ly state that permits shall not issued to hotels and restaurants. Retailers do not havo to have per mits to sell culinary products con taining less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol obtained from author ized manufacturers, officials said. AVOID CHRISTMAS ES -- USE CARE Warning by State Fire Marshal C. E. Hartford Against Inflammable Displays and Decorations. Sta'e Fire Marshall C. E. Hartford has not advised the use of asbestos whiskers for every S.mta Clans but lie has issued the following general warning against Christmas fires: "There is considerable danger in the promiscuous and improper use "f holiday decorations especially elec trical. Panic and property loss can 6e prevented by the use of gr'at care in inctalling decorations. Of ten dangerous conditions are intro duced in connection with inflamma ble Christmas displays without in reasinc the effectiveness of the decorations. Merchants are asked as to t heir exhibits. "There was a time when it was 'houcrht necessary to have a great exhibit of colored lights, paper fes 'oo;is. coten batting, and other high ly inflammable material at this time rf the year, but the merchant of to- ''ay realizes that it is his merchan dise that he wishes to dispose of and 'hit the best way to do it is to show 't to his customer in the best pos "ible manner. "The destructive possibilities of defective electrical construction at Miis season are enormously increased !"!' the u.-e of cotton batting and Jmilar hivrhly inflammable materials for shop decoration. The practice r.t droning nierchnnise over lamps in audition to oemg uange-ous de fects its own purpose. The effi ciency of the lamp is reduced by cut ting down the area of ill'iminaMon. .and the establishment of brilliant cnots of Ugh among the merchan dise prevents prospective customers from seeing the goods to advantage. The uniform and comprehensive dis tribution of light in a show room or how window is ideal illumination and mv be pccomnlished with safe ty. Merchants will readily see the wisdom of tabiner no chances with experiments which increase fire dan cers without in any way promoting the sale of goods."
