| LIVESTOCK NEWS | O o (Reported by John Clay and Company.) Cattle buyers were on short rations last week and were forced to pay improved prices in order to take care of immediate, requirements. Early this week, however, increased receipts, particularly of strong weights, gave the purchasing fraternity charge of price dictating and values were revised downward on a slow market in rank and file of steers, while good light steers and heifers held steady. Fading out of the range cattle run for this season has injected strength into the cow trade. Lower priced native killing steers have not benefitted by the dwindling supply of rangers for at no time this season has the run of range killing steers been of large enough volume to have any influence on the native trade. Demand for stock calves and yearling stockers continues keen, while call for heavy feeder steers remains slow. Hog prices continued their downward course at the outset of this week, prevailing rates being lowest in five years. Light hogs are working into premium position as weight increases, although so far this season comparatively few butchers scaling over 270 pounds are arriving. On the- other hand, weights below 160 lbs. also are scarce. Shipping demand for 160 to 210 lb. offerings is increasing.

“THOU SHALT NOT KILL” by John Evanoff “Though shalt not kill.” That is the first Commandment. It was given thousands of years ago, and it is real. After the establishment of Christianity they continued to use that Commandment. From that time until now many centuries have passed, but people continued to kill each other. War continued. War is destructiveness and deadliness for the people. Does war bring prosperity for the people? No! Absolutely no. War is destructive to everything the people have built up during the centuries. War brings nothing that is good for the people. War is deadly for the flower of the nation, disablnig and making misery for multitudes of orphans and widows. This is the only “honor” the people get from war. Can civilized nations brag to other nations that are not civilized? Yes, they can. With what? Barbarism and cannibalism? Can a Christian nation brag on Christianity to a nation that is n ot Christian? With what? Praying for peace but decreeing war and then praying for victory? Shame! “Mean men boweth down, the great man humbleth himself.” During the last World War the Protestant killed Protestant and Catholic killed Catholic. Not one unprotesting pulpit heard the voice saying “Thou shalt not kill.” “For the leaders of the people cause them to err; and they that are le\l of them are destroyed. Thousands of soldier boys went to the battle front, but many of them did not return, forever. Many of them, disabled, still lie in hospital beds. Living dead! “. . . for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And the government be upon his shoulders and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace!” That Child and that Prince, is Jesus Christ! When the people live in they have nothing to depend, upon but themselves, nothing else. Peace is sweetness, the highest ideal; prosperity forever; bread and work for all. Nature is rich.

DISTRICT LEGIONNAIRES TO MEET SUNDAY An interesting joint meeting of the Second District Legionnaires and Auxiliary members will be held at Monticello, Indiana, on Sunday. December 3rd, according to an announcement made today by second district officials. The session will begin promptly at 2 p. m., and continue throughout the remainder of the day. The meeting will be held at the Fisherman’s Paradise, in Norway, a resort spot located two miles north of Monticello. The entire program is arranged for joint attendance of both Legionnaires and auxiliary members, and a speaker from the state headquarters will deliver the main address. An Intermission will be taken during the evening hours for lunch and refreshments, and dancing in the evening to the music of a first class orchestra will conclude the day’s activities. The site for this affair is most spacious, and a big turnout is anticipated from every post in the second district. NEW PARIS AND SYRACUSE CARS COLLIDE ON ROAD 15 Automobiles driven by Winifred Murphy, 23. Syracuse, and Seward E. Wilshire. 24. New Paris, were damaged to the extent of approximately $125 in a collision at the point where old state road 15 leaves the new part of the road near New Paris. Occupants of both automobiles escaped injury. plenty for everybody. Every one is born naked. That is nature s law. By nature, the people inherit everything free. When we die we take nothing with us but what we brought——nothing! Some people are unconscious. Though having eyes, they see not, and their everything is destroyed. What is the cost of war? This new war will cost billions of dollars. Billions of tons of raw materials of all kinds will be taken from nature’s stores, and put into a form destructive to human life and happiness. Busy cities which it took thousands of years to build, are, in a short time, turned into ashes, into a desert, into a place of the dead. From the beginning, man has suffered mostly from man, not from nature. Peace never has come upon earth by prayer alone, but always the hard way, by hard work, by justified knowledge. All wars are not alike. There are men’s wars for liberty and righteousness and then there are wars for profit and destruction or to counquer. Those who fight for liberty and righteousness, never die! From now on, let us broadcast to all on the Globe, from the East to the West, from the North to the South: “Glory to God, in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men!” “Free ‘Wimpy’ at Dixie.” Mrs. James Searfoss

Furs with a market value of more than a half-million dollars are being collected by an army of Hoosier men and boys as they follow their trap’lines this winter, a Department of Conservation official pointed out. , Success during the trapping season which ends Jan. 31, will mean that approximately three-quarters of a million pelts will be taken, a majority of them muskrat hides. The muskrat, trapped along ditches and streams in all parts of the state, furnishes the greater part of the trappers’ catch and revenue. Raccoon form a growing percentage of the annual fur crop, a result of the artificial propagation of these animals by the Division of Fish and Game and the conservation clubs. The skunk, avoided for its odorous scent, is an important part of the fur catch,

while the oppossum is increasingly popular. Mink and fox are minor but valuable additions to the trappers’ catch during the winter months. Quality of fed western, lambs is best in several seasons for this particular time of year. Shorn lambs still are selling at a sharp discount compared with full-wool offerings the wool trade, although slow of late, being the supporting factor in the case of the latter class. Good northern full-wool yearlings are quotable slightly more than $1 under comparatively quality wool lambs.
