More Livestock Marketed at
Chicago Than Ever Before
Chicago, Jan. 4. More livestock
I was marketed in Chicago in 1916 than
I in any previous year, according to the
j annual report of the Chicago Union
| Stockyards, made public to-day. The
1 report asserts that the marketing dur
ing the year amounted to $509,6 20,-
023. The.year's total marketings were
$138,681,867 greater than in 1915 and
] more than sloo,ooo.ftoo in excess of
j ilie record of the banner year of 1913.
New price records in all classes of
i livestock were set during the vear,
! the report stated. Fat beef steers
averaged S9.SO a hundred pounds;
calves $10.85; hogs $9.60; sheep, $7.85
and lambs $10.75. Horses averaged in
price slßl per head.
War demand was-an important fac
| tor in the 1916 cattle market, accord
jing to the report, packers having con-
J tracts with practically every warring
| European country, which they were
unable to meet fully because of ship
ping conditions.
Threatens to Get President
Wilson on "Aldy's" Trail
"Do you know President Wilson,
eh? Well, he my fren, and if I tella
him, he fixata yoh and geta. me my
suitcase!" That was the threat Jesu
Abed, a Syrian, heaped upon the head
of Alderman DeShong yesterday after
' noon in the police court.
I It seems that once upon a time, Jesu
Abed and Jim Gallilee were the best
of friends, such as only peddlers can
be, but when they tried to work the
tricks of the trade upon one another,
Jesu and Jim dissolved partnership.
Jesu claims that Jim took his suitcase.
On Jesu's information his old partner
was arrested. After listening to the
meaningless rabble of the first shak
ing Syrians the alderman decided that
it was a case for civil action and an
interpreter. It was then the curses of
the departed fathers of Abraham were
called down upon the police court.

ommendations For Con

Augusta, lie., Jan. 4. —As a means
toward better enforcement of the pro

law should know that regardless of
supposed local sentiment, his failure
to do His duty faithfully will bring
prompt and certain punishment, in
cluding dismissal from public.office."
The Governor also said that he felt
that the submission to the voters of a
constitutional amendment for equal
suffrage shotild no longer be delayed.
