BREWSTER, KANSAS i Government Wants All Subscrip- tlons Paid Cp. The government is now send- Ing out Inspectors to examinu the subscription books of the country newspapers with a view of getting all subscription lists on a "paid in advance" basis. With weekly papers, subscrib- era must be paid up within a year of the date of inspection. The Clinton, (I1L) Advertiser tells of the appearance of an inspector by the name of H. C.

Strain, who is now working in that vicinity. The order was originally mad to shut out the papers Issued by the mail order houses, which had no regular list, but it seems it is to be en- forced rigidly among the week- ly papers of the country. The government, realizing that such a ruling would work a hardship among the country publishers, has been very lenient so far, In order to give them a chanca to adapt themjselves to the rule, but as two years have gone byj since the order was made, the department evidently thought enough time has been given, and will stristly enforce the rule from now on. The above clipping would In- dicate that the country editor will be forced to collect back subscriptions or strike all in ar- rears from the list. The Repub- lie has no desire to crowd any person, but it would be a great accomodation If those knowing themselves to be behind on sub- scriptions would adjust the mat- ter at once, thu3 putting our books in shape for the depart- ment inspector who is 6ure to call on us soon.

Examine the name label on your paper, where you will see the date to which your subscrip- tion is paid. We appreciate your patronage, and believe you ap- predate bur efforts to make The Republic one of the most welcome weekly visitors. If there is a doubt about your sub- scription date, write us at once that we may get the matter ad- Justed. THE GOODLAND REPUBLIC, Goodland, Kansas. Pneumatic Cleaners.

"A word to the wise Is sufficient" Have your abstracts ex- amined by a comment attorney, Rumor That Deal Will Be Closed In Course of a Week. An article appeared in th-; Denver Times of Monday to the effect that the Rock Island road would come into possession of a new road, the Moffat line, in the course of a week or so.

The Times says: That a deal will be closed this week whereby the Rock Island will purchase the Moffat road is assured, according to Information in financial circles. David H. Moffat only smiled when asked about the matter this morning, but his emile and answer were highly significant When asked if he could explain the flurry in Rock Island stock on the New York exchange, he answered: "I should think you could make a pretty good guess. There Is something doing on the Inside with the Rock Island." fact that Rock Island common stock sold at $80 a share in five minutes after the opening of the stock exchange this morning, after closing at 49 Friday, Is portentious that a deal has all but crystalized for the taking over of the Moffat road by the Rock Island. Mr.

Moffat said there was no doubt an affort was being made to get the control of the Rock Island out of the hands of the Reld-Moore faction. It is understood that the deal for the purchase of the Moffat road would have been consummated weeks ago but for opposition of those who have held the control. It Is now believed that the coup on th New York exchange to get control of the stock has been successful and it will cary the purchase of the Moffat road. Mr. Moffat this morning admitted that the, stock issued about two years ago in the James peak tunnel project, $2,500 worth of which was bought by Denver and Colorado men, had been bought in and Is now back in th treasury of the Denver, Northwestern Pacific (Moffat road.) The company which proposed the building of the tunnel through James peak on the Moffat road was organized under the name of the Continental Tunnel company.

A CHRISTMAS BABY. Stork Brought Unique Present to Mr. and Mrs. Orley Cochrane. Mr.

and Mrs. Orley Cochrane, living near Rhine, are rejoicing In the birth of a son who arrived on Christmas eve, and therefore may be considered a present from St Nicholas. Their family, before the arrival consisted all of girls, and the laddie is especially welcome because of this fact. His name is Orley, but we suggest that the middle namle be "Chris" for short or "Christopher" for long. Weeding Out Poor Cows.

These figures furnish a very inter-estingstudy. Fourteen cows the first year averaged 5,800 pounds of milk, containing 240 pounds of butter fat; that the twelve cows the second year averaged 7,105 pounds of milk with 260 pounds of butter fat, and that the fourteen cows the third year averaged 8,057 pounds of milk and 307 pounds of butter fat per cow. The greatest fact apparent at first sight, is an average gain of 3G pounds of butter fat per cow, the second year, and another gain of 47 pounds of butter fat in the third year, total of 83 pounds of butter fat for the two years. This means a gain of 97 pounds of butter fat per cow In the year's production, which at the average' price is much more than the whole profit from the average dairy cow In Illinois. The above increase is known from an accurate record of the weight and test of the milk for a week at a time every nine weeks throughout the year.

D. Graham, Secretary, Topeka, Kam. AUTO OR MOTOR? Many People Think the Name Auto mobile a Back Number. On one of Kansas City's boulevards the other day two -motorists were discussing the Automobile Show of the Kansas City Automobile Dealers Association to be held in Convention Hall the week of February 28. "Can't see why they didn't change the name of It," said one of the men.

"Automobile Is such an out-of-date word." "Yes," the other admitted, "that's true. First, we call them mechani cal carts, then automobiles, buzz wagons, gasoline craft, joy carriages honk buggies and the like. Until the last year, though, they have been known seriously only as automobiles and we said that we were going out 'autoing or that we felt 'automobil ious and had lots of fun distorting 'auto into 'ought to. But now mo tor's the only word." The Kansas City Automobilo Deal ers Association realizes the compar ative antiquity of the name of their association and show. But its motor exposition in Convnetion Hall the week of February 28 will be the fourth annual one It has given and the Kansas City Automobile Dealers' Association is a pioneer trade organ lzation in Kansas City.

For the sake of these facts, the use of automobile Is to be perpetuated, although the show Is to be right up to the minute in exhibits of car decorations and arrangements of displays. More than two-thirds of the motor tradesmen in Kansas City are mem bers In the Kansas City Automobile Dealers' Association and represent more than seventy cars, Including a few electrics and commercial trucks. The bulk of the exhibits will be standard cars ranging fn price from 1750 to 22.000 the popular cars with the farmers. But there will be a boulevard display as well as such well-known, high priced cars as the Palmer-Singer, Locomobile, Pope- Hartford, Selden, Franklin, Rambler, White Lozier, Pennsylvania, Ameri can, Simplex, Dorris, Premier, Stearns and the Great Smith. As secretary in charge of the big show, the association chose A.

M. Blake, who was pilot in The Star trophies tour of 1909. Mr. Blake resigned his editorship of Auto Life, a big motoring monthly of Kansas City, to become secretary of the old association's show. H.

H. Herr, well known as a newspaper WTiter and motoring enthusiast, having taken over Mr. Blake's interest In the Auto Life publication. A Problem.

SWARTS HOGEBOOM. An Element of Weakness by Ileascn of Late Arrivals of Cattle. Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 2S. CATTLE La te arrivals both yesterday and today were full of cattle, thereby making actual arrivals above the morning estimate on both days, and introducing an element of weakness in the market.

Bad storms In the east and unreliable railroad service on that account, cut down orders for shipping cattle, and the Increased arrivals enabled buyers for local houses to get steers 5 to 15 lower today than at the end of last week. She stuff and butcher grades sold 10 to 15 higher yesterday and are firm today. Good to choice steers have been scarce this week, a few yesterday good enough to sell at IS. 50 to 6. 8 5, and top today 7.

00, bulk at $5.25 to $6.40, and the outlook on steers today not nearly as good for the balance of the week as it was at the opening of the market yesterday. Cows and heifers and butcher cattle have been selling good right along and appear to be popular enough to justify predictions of continued strength, especially In view of the history of the market on this kind of cattle every winter for a number of years. Cows sell at $3.25 to $5.25, heifers up to $6.25, bulls $3.25 to $4.75, calves $4.00 to $8.50, with a few odd head this week at $9.00 per record price on calves for the year. Stockers and feeders are meeting a good market this week, 10 to 25 higher than close of last week. Buyers figure that a good portion of the winter is now past, cutting down the feeding term substan tia ly, and the firm undrton-3 In fed cattle.

In spite of repeated breaks. lends encouragement to the prospect. Stockers this week bring $3.50 to $4.75. including range stockers of good quality around $4.25, and feed ers at $4.00 to $5.25, a few half fat cattle above this limit HOGS Just in th? same propor tion that cattle receipts have over run first estimates yesterday and to day, hog receipts have fallen short and runs both days have been ex- tremelv meager. Ihe market was 5 to 10 higher yesterday, and most sales were 10 higjher again today, with a new high mark for the year at $8.60 for tops, within 20 cents of the high mark of 1882, and except for that year, highest price since the war for hogs.

Bulk sold today at $8.25 to $8.50, and weights under 200 pounds up to $8.45. Speculators regard provisions too high for safety and the weakness of closing hog mar kets yesterday and today do not in dicate a very firm foundation to the Dresent bulge in prices. Sheep and lambs ariived to the number of 5,000 head today, and tne market is 10 to 25 higher than close of last week, lambs at SS.20 today nnrt vearlinsrs $7.10. Fair to good lams brim? $7.75 to $8.00 today, and yearlings below fancy grade sell at 16.00 to $6.75. wethers at $5.25 to $5.85.

ewes $4.40 to $5.40, goats be ing around $4.25. Some feeding lambs colHne- at $6.25 to $6.75. but not a great number can be secured. DR. COOK IX BEUJITJM.
