October 10, 1916.—The week opened with a large run of cat tle, some 597 cars, or about 15,000 head being reported in up to noon. Strictly choice corn fed beeves are quotable around $10.00@10.69, and the fair to good, 1,050 to 1,300-pound beeves are selling largely around $S.75@9.50. Notwithstanding tha sharp advance in cows and heifers last weiek and the liberal offerings Monday there was a vigorous demand from all quarters and the market ruled active and stronger all around for she stock. Quotations on cattle; Good to choice beeves, $!0.00@10.60; fair to good beeves, $8.75 @9.75; common to fair beeves, $6.50@8.50; good to choice heifers, S6.75@7.25; good to choice cows, $6.40@7.00; fair to good cows, $5.75@6.40; canners and cut ters, $4.50@5.50; veal calves. $8.00@ 11.00; bulls, $5.-5@6.75. Real good hogs were comparatively scarce on Monday's market, and as shippers had orders for some loads of that sort, the competition was very keen on most of the desirable stuff that was here, order buyers taking a few loads on a strong to 5@10c higher basis A top of $9.45 was paid for one load, this price being the highest for a week Bulk of the offerings moved at a spread of $9.10@9.20, with the top, as noted above, at $9.45. Sheep and lamb receipts for Mon day were very liberal, supplies amounting to 137 cars or about 38,000 head. While the fast lamb trade was a little slow in starting, it was a sharply higher affair.

One shipment of good lambs topped the market at $10.25. Feeding lambs sold about steady with last week’s close, and some traders thought that if any thing values were stronger, but there was no quotable change. Feeding ewes were sacrce, most of the offerings go ing for breeders. _ =5SSZSH5Z525HSH5H5H5H5H5HS2S£5E5E5 « PATENTS T'-£..7.T’ » J Copyright* LT -n INVENTORS: - If you w rnt to know, in [) [r a few words,’ the cost, the best way to „ fQ proceed, and some valuable suggestions Ir oi before applying, write to:— [} K FRANK A.

LORENZ | Democratic Candidate for County I Treasurer of Sherman County. SHIFTY WILSON ON COLONEL S BODKIN Elusive Balancer on String of Words Pinned Down by Proof That in Fifteen Public Ut terances He Took Forty One Different Positions on Preparedness. EACH STAND CONTRADICTED FROM 1 TO 5 OF THE OTHERS Democratic Candidate Said That Our Army Was Ample and That We Did Not Have Enough Troops to Patrol the Border; That We were on the Verge of a Maelstrom and That There Was No Critical Situation; That the National Guard Would Not Do and Then That It Must Do. In the fourteen months extending from December 8th, 1014, to February 10th, 1910, there were fifteen mes sages, letters and speeches of Presi dent Wilson which 1 have read. In these fifteen messages, letters and speeches, during those fourteen months. President Wilson took forty one different positions about prepared ness and the measures necessary to secure it; aud each of these forty-one positions contradicted from one to six of the others. In many of his speeches ' the weasel words of one portion of tile speech took all tile meaning out of the words used in another portion of that speech; and these latter words themselves had a weasel significance as regards yet other words. He ar gued for preparedness, and against preparedness. He stated that our army was ample; and that we did not have enough troops to patrol the Mexican border in time of pence. He ! said the world was on tire, and that | sparks were liable to drop anywhere I and cause us to burst into flame; and I lie also said that there was no iinme j diate danger. He said that there was ; no sudden crisis; and then again that ! lie did not know what a single day ; would bring forth. He said that we ; were on the verge of a maelstrom: i ;.nd then that there was no special j or critical situation. He said the dan j ger was constant and immediate; and ! also that we were not threatened from j any quarter. He said that there was I no fear among us; and also that we I were in daily danger of seeing the j vital interest and honor of the country | menaced and the flag of the United I 8rates stained with impunity. He ] eaid that we were in very critical danger of being involved in the great European struggle; and also that there was no need to dicuss the I question of defense, or to get uenciu or excited about it. In one and the same speech, he said that a sufficient number of men would volunteer, and that if they did not be would lie jashamed of America; and he also said 'that he did not know, of any law which laid upon them the duty of com iing into the army, if it should be necessary to call for volunteers. He ,said that we needed ,">00,000 volunteers, and that if there was any legitimate .criticism of this demand it was be cause it was too small; and as soon as Congressman Hay objected to the plan, he promptly abandoned it. IF said that the National Guard was not the proper body upon which to rely; and then not only changed his own mind but forced his own Secretary of War out of his cabinet, because this | Secretary possessed less flexible con victions and was unable instantly to reverse himself when going at full speed.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. WILSON DEEMED IT FUTILE TO STAND FIRMLY. President Wilson seeks to jus tify himself on the ground that it was “futile” and dangerous to “stand firmly.” This is an appeal that can with equal truth be made by every soldier who runs away in battle. He further alleges his belief that the cause he championed "has the sanc tion of the judgment of society 1 in its favor.” I remember thir ty-odd years ago in the Black Hills a local vigilance commit tee which was in doubt about hanging a suspected wrongdoer. While they were discussing the matter, there appeared over the neighboring divide a frowsy, el derly horseman in a linen dus ter, who promptly galloped to wards them waving his arms and shouting “Hang him! Hang him!” The leader of the vigi lantes at once asked the frowsy stranger what he knew of the facts, whereupon the stranger answered: “I do not know any thing about the fac’.l and I nev er saw the man before; but there’s eleven of you and only one of him, and I believe in ma jority rule!” This is merely a picturesque paraphrase of what Mr. Wilson calls action under “the sanction of society.” It ex emplifies the principle upon which President Wilson has act ed in those public matters, in ternal and external, where he was threatened with the use of force.—From the Speech of Col onel Roosevelt at Battle Creek. Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. There’s at least one satisfaction in the European war. All sides are victorious. The fellow who thinks he knows it all usually knows less than the one who admits that he knows nothing. Silence is golden, especially when your alibi is not satisfactory to your wife. Change of program every night at the opera house. ! ! ell do 1 mind the story.” said i Finnegan. “Balaam was a highbrow 1 that kunwed less than his Jackass. He took an office to curse the people. The Jackass saved them. 'Tis all in Number Twinty-two. Och. hone! ’Tis : • different these times. The Jackass knew better till Balaam tamed him. “ ‘Lave me riile ye.’ says Balaam, ‘an' I’ll make ye the biggest Ass in the world.’ “ ‘Great,’ says the Ass; ‘what d’ye feed?’ “ ‘Pork,’ says Balaam. “ ‘Me savior,’ says the Ass. “So Balaam mounts. But soon the lack balks. “ ‘Phwat is It?’ says Balaam. “‘Snakes,’ says the Ass; ‘Ut looks like the jawbone uv me mother.’ “ ‘G’wan.’ says Balaam, hittin’ the Ass a clip. ‘ 'tis me furren' policy,’ he says. “ ‘Phwat’s ut for?’ axes the Ass. “ ‘Ut deflnds the nashun,’ says Ba- j laam. *’ ‘How?’ says the Ass. - “‘Faith;’ says Balaam, ‘ut takes a bigger Ass than you to know that. Lave it to Brine,’ says Balaam to the Ass; an’ the Jack walks on medita tin’. “ ’Hee. haw,’ says the Ass, balkin' an’ kickin’. “‘What now?’ says Balaam. “ ’Divil a Jackass ever seen the like,’ says the Ass. ‘Ut could be a frog,’ says he. “for ut stands up in front, and sits down behind; an’ 'tis mos’ly mouth.' says the Ass. ‘Ut has white feathers,’ says the Jack, ‘wtd yaller streaks, that changes.’ he says, ‘to ** cry Crooz Bed. or Niagary Blue, an’ now they’re Cnrrysall Yaller again.' says he. ‘Hivins, have I been drink in?' screams the Ass to Balaam. “ ‘Saints be praised,’ says Balaam. ‘Me Watchful Waitin’ can still change its mind.' he says. ‘G'wan, where glory waits.’ he says. ‘G'wan. in the service uv Mankind.’ says Balaam to the Ass, touching him up. An' the Ass shuffles ahead, wavin’ his ears in admiration. “ ‘Hee-haw! Hee-haw!’ says the Jack, rearin' up wid his eyes bulgin'. “ Thwat’s grippin' ye now?’ says Balaam, impashunt like. ‘“I dunno,’ says the Ass. ‘Ut looks like the Flyin’ Dutchman with a So cialist Crew,’ he says. "Tis me Ship Bill,’ says Balaam. ‘Side step to the right,' he says; ‘side step to the left,' says he. wel tin' him. ‘Back tip,' says Balaam, near wrenchin' off the Jack’s jaw. ’Now forward for the Merchant Ma rine an' fifty millyun pork,’ says Ba laam wid a shower uv blows; an’ the Ass goes on thremblin’. “ rV\ ah-hee! Wali-hee! Wah-hee!’ says the Jack, shyin’ so he near threw his rider. “ Til learn ye to shy at me Naval Bill,’ says Balaam, lar-rupln’ the baste so he cud scarce stand. “‘Ye can't pass ut widout wearin’ Republican clothes,' says the Jack in a coarse whisper. “ ‘Ye Ass.’ says Balaam, ‘Don't ye know that anny does is betther nor ' nakedness? G'wan,’ says Balaam, in tones uv thunder. So the poor baste lopes on, limpin’ wid pain. “I’ve not time to tell ye all the ad ventures they had. but they kep’ oi} over rough roads, now an’ then cros-i sin* a ditch on a wan term plank, which made even Balaam unaisy, i Iviry time the Jack kicked, he got) short rations an’ a wallop. So when 1 the journey was near over, the poop ' haste was all in. and far too proud ta fight. Any Jack-Ass can be that when he's licked. FINNEGAN’S PHILOSOPHY BALAAM. "an stormy nignt, tne Jack blooms into a harmony like a Dimycrat Tariff Hymn played on a gaspipe wid the feet. “ ‘Phwat ails ye now?' calls Balaam, clubbin’ him wid both hands. “ ‘Nivver did I pass the like,’ yells the Ass, sweating and thremblin’. ‘Ut says ut’s an eight hour law. Oh, phwat is ut?’ screams the Ass to Balaam, feebly waggin' his ears. “ ‘I dinno phwat ut Is meself,’ says Balaam, ‘but I know phwat ut’s got,’ Balaam says. “ ‘Phwat?’ axes the poor Ass. “ ’Five hundther thousand votes,* says Balaam, wid a pious air. ‘G’wan, ye big Ass, an’ donnt ye argue wid an Idaylist,’ says Balaam to the Ass. “ ‘We can't pass ut in the dark,’ pleads the Ass. ‘Lave us wait for light.’ moans the Ass. weepin’. “ ‘Nix,’ says Balaam. There’s a hot time coinin’ an’ the votes’ll spile. Do ye thurst for sixteen more years In the wilderness? Giddap.' says he, ‘purgin' y’er heart,’ says Balaam, *iv iviry thought that's selfish,’ says Ba laam, ‘or personal,’ chants Balaam to the poor Ass ticklin’ the Jack’s slats wid a couplin’ pin. “By this time the Ass was so wore out wid his nrdyous labors, that he knew no more than Balaam himself. So, wid one despairin' cry, he dropped his ears, as he an’ his master stumbled forward into the dark.” It Ail Depends. “If Hughes wins an Oregon town wilt get a new shingle mill employing fifty men.” says the Olympia Recorder, “ac cording to an announcement of the individual who took an option on tim bered land. If Wilson wins the option will be allowed to lapse. That's the way with a thousand and one enter prises, all waiting to see which way the wind Wows. The moment it Is assured that Charles E. Hughes is elected, just watch the wheels of in dustry spin and listen to the hum of business.” Three auto loads of Loup City peo ple went to Fullerton.
