Lydia is either unduly conservative or else she has been quoted incorrectly as she doubtless meant 300,000 persons.

She could not have meant 3,000,000 as there are not that many people in the state. She says that conditions aro appalling and that the state must do something to I lllP.Ot ttii rmrHMnn lv in ir 1'nr tne care ot these Persons; and bv stoo ping the bringing of children into the world by such peonle. Why would it not be a good idea to place this whole aoy mtstnesii lrom start, to lnish in the hands of Lydia? Stringent legislation could be passed by the legisla-tnre whereby penalties would be imposed upon the parents of any child brought into the world without first securing the consent, of Lydia. This plan would necessarily require all the time and attention of Lydia but. think of the relief it would give the public in the matter of her newspaper interviews.

Weekly Market Letter. Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov, 27. Last week's trade in killing cattle was fairly satisfactory, but stackers and feeders lbst 15 to 40 cents. Receipts today dropped to 9,000 head, probably les than half what the run woulct have been except for the embargo on shipments out, put on pending outcome of investigation of suspected cases of foot and mouth disease in shipment of catlle received here from N'ebraska last Wednesday. Killing grades sold strong to 15 higher today sold about steady, sheep and i nibs steady.

In killing cattle buyers took everything solid, starting at the Exchmge building aad working in all directions into the cattle yards. Steers sold from $6.50 to cows, $5.50 to canners, $4.60 to $5.20. Several train-load of canner cows were offered. Packeis seem to need largo amounts of beef, and they have been short of canner material here for several weeks. A single packer brought in 55 carloads of canner cows from Chicago in the last three days to be killed here.

Shippers with cattle nearby seeking inside Information today were told to have them hero tomorrow or Wednesday, prospects favoring a good market for killing cattle those days. Cattle in the stockers and feeders class that arrived here from western Nebraska last Wednesday showed symptoms of a disease resembling foot and mouth in some ways, and shipments out of Kansas City were stopped Saturday, till It is determined that the disease is not foot and mouth, probably Wednesday. Hog receipts were 10,000 head; market strong at the opening; top $9.90: late sales weak; bulk $9.40 to $9.85. The market shows intermittent strength, and all indications point to higher prices. Receipts are beginning to fall off, and with the immense ex isting demand for meats and pork product, stronger competition is sure to develop, which means higher prices.

Besides hog prices are inadequate, either compared with beer or lamb, or as based on prices listed in board of trade reports. Quality is improving, and weights were nine pounds heavier last week than tvo weeks ago. 1 Funeral of Mrs. Willard Detinncy.
