It ik tbe general opinion that a series of strong cattle prices are at hand. Though sheep and hogs broke last week, the market today waa higher and headed towards a full recovery. Receipts today were 16,000 cattle, 6500 hogs and 3500 Rheep, compared with 20,000 eat tie, 11,000 hogs and 9000 Rheep a week ago and 11,150 cattle, 12,650 hogs and 13,150 sheep a year ago. Trade in fat cattle ojiened slowly and for a short period was dull, but after buyers had raised bids there was an active trade. Quality of the offerings was only fair and materially less attractive than a week ago. Warmed np and short fed classes predominated and as a rule quality was too pluin to attract much feeder eomietition. The market closed ten to fifteen cents higher, exceptions more. There was a fairly good order demand, and killers bought freely. Most of the fat steers Hold at $8.00 to $9.50. Some half fat and dogie classes sold at 5 to $7.50. Cowa and heifers were quoted stronger. Plain snd ordinary classes predominated. Veal calves and bnlls were fully steady.

Hog price were unevenly higher. The bulk of the fnt hogs werp up fifteen to twenty-fiv- e cents, nnd some of the lighter weight classes were up to forty. Receipts here twenty-fiv- e were the lightest of any Monday this year and materially .below normal. The top price was $10.50, and bulk of sales $10.00 to $10.45. Light lights which showed the largest advance, brought $9.lHI to $9.65. Packing sows sold at $9.85 to $10.00 nnd stock hogs and pigs nt $6.75 to $7.75.

McDERMAlD J Wpt In a fdmllar vein, Fred IL White, chief engineer of the Iown state highway commission, addressed the county supervisors of his state In August, 1922, telling them thnt highway taxes represent less than 15 per cent of total taxes and are responsible for only of the total Increase la taxes since 1910. "Whenever a cigar is lighted," he said, "the smoker proceeds to burn up the highway taxes of the average Iowan for from three to six days" and ulso "a qunrter section of land taxed at $2 an acre contributes approximately one cent per acre to the county engineering work.

Halls Catarrh the tax necessary to build good roads, lie says: "If we had concrete surfaces to drive upon, we could pay a tire tax of 67 per cent Bnd still spend no more for tires than Is required for our present road surfaces." Mr. Phelps then calls attention to the experiments that have been made to determine the amount of gasoline that Is needed on different kinds of roads, saying that these experiments show that a gallon of gasoline will haul one ton 14 miles on earth roads, 21 miles on gravel and 81 miles on concrete. Taking the weight of an automobile as 1.4 tons nnd the price of gasoline as 20c per gallon, this highway engineer tells what happens to your gasoline tank aa the car passes over various kinds of roads In the following manner: "When the car reaches, the end of the concrete nnd starts down a gravel surface, the extra gasoline required costs as much aa s tax of 02-- cents per gallon, and when It roaches the end of the gravel nnd starts down the average poor earth road, an added cost of ten cents per gallon Is ths aused by the poor traveler's to We stake our reputation on the lumber and other building materials which we sell and therefore quality is C.
