THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS CORRECT

April United States War Month
The fact that the National Con-
gress has been called to convene in
special session April 16th has caus-
ed historical facts to spring to the
front which proves conclusively that
April is the United States war
month and coupled with the strain-
ed relations with Germany now it
is hardly probable that we will
pass through April 1916 without
a declaration of war
Exceptihg the war of 1612 every
big United States war began in the
month of April
Revolutionary war began April
19 1775 at Concord and Lexing-
ton War with Mexico was declared
April 24 1846
Black Hawk war greatest Indian
war began April 21 1831
Civil war began with attack on
Fort Sumpter April 12 1861
Spanish-American war was de-
clared April 21 1898

Im Plant Rudy in Sixty Says
The Coweta municipal ice plant
will be in operation within sixty
days' according to the latest inform-
ation obtainable The Board of
Trustees received a letter from the
machinery manufacturers Tuesday
to that effect
The municipal ice plant will save
the people many dollars during the
summer as heretofore a very high
price has been paid for ice shipped
in from Muskogee and Tulsa The
price of the home manufactured ice
will be much less which will effect
a very material saving for every
customer in the course of a few
months

Market Report
Kansas City Stock Yards
March 12 1917
Cattle receipts today were 15000
head market slow and about steady
on steers stronger on cows and
stockers and feeders nothing prime
here top $1110 Hog supply was
14000 market 10 to 15 lower top
$1495' 5 cents above top reported
from Chicago today
Beef CattlIs
Prime steers were again lacking
the best natives here selling at $10-
80 to $11 middle and plain kinds
$950 to $1075 Prime steers are
worth $12 More than 100 cars of
pulp fed cattle arrived seven cars
of Oregon steers at $1080 1272
lbs average Utah and Idaho at
$1040 to $1080 Northern Colora-
do and Western Nebraeka pulp
steers at $1040 to $1110 Butcher
cattle sold strong cows mostly at
$675 to $875 odd head up to $10
bulls $7 to $9 heifers $8 to $1075
veal calves $9 to $1150 The run
today contained more than the usual
proportion of shipments from long
distance including a consignment
from Southern Arizona cattle re-
cently brought across from Mexico
Native territory shows signs of de-
pletion of the cattle supply and
light runs will be the order the bal
ance of the week
Stockers and Feeders'
Firm markets have ruled since the
first of the week including today
except for some weakness on thin
stock steers late last week Pack-
ers usually outbid feeder buyers on
fleshy feeding steers sales of feed-
ers ranging from $860 to $1Q
Stock steers range from $750 to
$950 in most cases and are con-
sidered low as compared with pros-
pects for prices a month hence '
Stock cows and heifers bring $6 to
$860
Hogs
Receipts slightly in excess of es-
timates today gave buyers a breath-
ing spell and they got concessions
of 10 to 15 cents early top $1490
but one or two lots finally reached
$1495 medium weights $14fl0
lights $1470 bulk of sales $1480
to $1490 Receipts here contain a
great many poorly finished hogB
from sections short of corn hence a
spread a little wider than if good
hogs were coming Pig prices are
very high $1150 to $1350 and are
held up bv a strong demand for im-
mune stock hogs the immunizing
plants getting as many of their pigs
at the stock vards as they can The
situation is firm and the break to-
day is believed to be temporary
