WEEPING WATER, NEBRASKA
A slump in prices of cattle and
hogs almost without precedent in
the extent of decline occurred last
month in the face of a large decrease
in supplies compared with the move
mcnt a year ago.
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. :

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."
