Farmers Now j 1 Have No Outlet V ^ for Live Poultry Embargo of Both Coast? Para lyzes "Wymore Produce l Market—Chickens Are Quoted at 10 Centg. Wymore, Dec 17.—The drastic em bargo of both coasts on live poultry shipments has paralyzed the local prod uce market. Scarcely & per cent of the usual volume of business is being carried on here. Docal prices ore quoted at 10 cents on chickens, and dealears are not encouraging sales, because they have no means of disposing of tiie birds, except to h cal consumers, and no facilities for grazing or feeding and holding them. A few farmers are bringing in small consignments of chickens and ducks which they sell rather than return home with them. According to farmers in the wealthy Welsh district south of Wymore, ( The sweet-toned Empraun E.I.bll.brt 1(4* for Christmas THINK of the joy that an Emerson Grand would give your family— and not only on Christ mas but for years to come.

There is no disease reported and no great loss to any one In this vicinity is anticipated, but an effect on trade and business will be felt. Some small losses will occur. No carloads of poultry have been shipped from Wymore, nor passed through the railway yards .here for four days, when ordinarily two and three carloads daily pass. There is trucking by auto to Beatrice and Fairbury where, it Is said cold stop age has started. Eight Cents Wilber Bids. Wilber, Dec. 17.—Little poultry is being turned at the local market, dealers bidding only 8 ranis ,here, claiming that there is no ounook for the chickens on account of restric tions on shipping to eastern and west ern markets. Several big raisers are holding 85 per cent of their crops of poultry for a market. Fifteen per cent is estimated to have been ship ped previously. A small amount is being trucked to Beatrice and Crete. One farmer came here with a truck load from Western, and hauled on to Crete, where 10 cents was bid in stead of soiling here" for 8. Ed. Savage, farmer south*of Wilber, lost 26 geese and 30 chickens last week, but the affliction was said to be a disease of the lungs. It is not spread ing, and no other losses have been reported recently. Order* for Cars Canceled Falls City, Dec. 17.—The James Poultry company, of this city, deal ers in ail kinds of live poultry at several stations In southeastern Ne braska, as far north as Lincoln, and west to Wymore, has canceled orders for all live poultry cars they had placed with railway companies. They are discouraging farmers from sell- | ing their chickens, but will take small shipments for local consumption and were bidding 8 and 10 cents Mon day. The company generally ships an average of three carloads daily. Odell, Dee. 17.—More chickens, ducks and geese are held back in this vicinity by the poultry embargo than in other localities, The farmers here, principally- Bohemians and Ger mans. raise large flocks annually and hold for maximum price*. It Is esti mated 60 per cent will now be held. The local dealers are out of business for the present. There is no disease reported here. Endicoot, Dec. 17.— Ten rents Is blS for live poultry here, and the stores are only taking enough to sup ply local consumption, advising farm er* to hold their stocks. A small Binount is being trucked to Fairbury. No d^ease is reported here. Beatrice Decorate?. Beatrice, Sept. 17.—Small Christ mas trees along the streets in the business part of the city are being decorated by the business men in keeping with the Christmas season. There will be a community Christmas tree in Charles park on the evening of December 22. 1150 Hogs Die in $11,000 Fire at Hopkins Farm Fire Razes Model Shelter on Million Dollar Plant Near Bluffs; Swine Ter ror-Stricken. Fire, believed to have originated li] a defective flue, raxed a bog house on the mtlllon-dollar Berne Hopkins hog farm, 12 miles south of Council Bluffs, Tuesday and caused damage estimated at $11,000. More than 150 thoroughbred hogs were burned to death In the tire. The animals were driven from the burn ing structure, but, terror-stricken be cause of the fire, they rushed back Inside. The hog house was one of two which were recently completed. They are said to be the most modern hog houses in southwestern Iowa. Hopkins had equipped his hog farm as modernly as possible. This fact alone saved the second house from destruction. A water system with a fair pres sure made it possible to turn water from garden hose on the second build ing, although the water was insuffi cient to stop the flames In the first building. Besides the stock which was lost, the building contained the farm offices. These were destroyed and with them many farm records. Hopkins declared the hogs which were lost were valued at $3,000, HOLDREGE AWARDS PAVING CONTRACTS Holdrege.

Who heeds the prompting: of hi" heart From mercy's way will ne'er depart. •—Old Mother Nature. I.ightfnot and the Hunter It was a clever hunter who was after J.lghtfoot the Deer. Yes, sir, that hunter was clever. He knew how to move through the Green Forest without making a sound. Never once did he put a foot down until he was sure that there was no dry twig be neath to snap. He moved slowly very slowly. He felt there was no hurry. He ‘‘I guess I don’t want to shoot him,” the hunter muttered with a little sigh. felt quite sure that he had guessed the trick that Lightfoot had played and that he would find Lightfoot In the very same hiding place from which he had been frightened. So he stole forward with the greatest care and not a leaf rustled.. Meanwhile Lightfoot was back In his old hiding place in the middle of a thicket of young hemlock trees. He was lying down. He was very well pleased with himself. He was sure that he had fooled that hunter. But this sureness didn't maks him any the less watchful. Kvery Merry Little Breeze that came his way he care fully tested for the dreaded man licent. Not for an instant did he fall to keep his ears wide open for sttspic lous sounds. But the Merry Little Breezes brought him no man scent and his wonderful ears caught no suspicious sounds. Hor a long time Lightfoot lay there, feeling safe and with out wor ry. But at last, without a reason that he knew of, a feeling of uneast ness stole over him. It was Just a feeling, but he couldn't get rid of it It was a feeling that something was 8!

He had heard nothing and smelled nothing to give him that feeling. But it grew stronger and stronger. Silently Lightfoot got to his feet. With his beautiful head thrown up he stood motionless. He was filled with the desire to run, to get away from that place as fast as he could. But he didn't' know in which direc tion to run. Not knowing, he would be as likely to run Into danger as away from It. So wisely he remained there motionless, but ready to leap the Instant he should know where the danger lay. Now, • that the hunter had crept to within shooting distance before Mghtfoot brad risen to his feet. As long as Lightfoot was lying down the hunter couldn't see him. Hut when Lightfoot got to his feet the hunter saw him at once. It was the chance he had been waiting for. It w'as the chance for which he had pa tiently been working ever since day light. Still he didn’t shoot. In fact, he almost forgot that he had a ter rible gun. You see, Lightfoot looked so handsome that that hunter just had to keep still for a few moments to admire him. He could see Lightfoot's great soft eyes, and in them he saw fear and uncertainty grow and grow-. He knew that Lightfoot knew' that he was in danger, but lie didn’t know Just where that danger was. And as he watched a change came over that hunter. Twice he started to lift his terrible gun, hut each time some thing stopped him. If Lightfoot had been running that hunter would not have hesitated a second to shoot. But with Lightfoot standing there, with not a chance in the world to escape, he simply could not shoot. What do you think that hunter finally did? He snapped a dry twig in his fingers. At the sound Lightfoot looked and saw him. Terror filled (hose beautiful eyes.

The company maintains 10 fae mighty leap LIghtfoot left the thicket and bounded away. "I guess i don't want to shoot him,” the hunter muttered with a sigh. "He is too beautiful to kill.” And then that hunter started for home, and somehow he felt strange ly happy. He knew that he felt far happier than he would have felt had he killed Ughtfoot.
