Tuesdays Market Review.

Who would have thought sixty days
ago that cattle receipts could cOntin-
ue heavy through May? We were
among those who figured on very
moderate supply of fat cattle, and a
range of prices 75cts per cwt. higher
than present values. II western
markets receive the same proportion
during the remainder of May, this
month will prove another record
breaker.
This country is blg-resources are
too numerous for any man to presume
that he knows whether marketable
supplies are scarce or plentiful. Our
market has cared for fair share of all
shipments within the tributary terri
tory, meeting the strongest cQmpeti'
tion in both demand and prices.
Tuesdays receipts aggregate 10000
fresh cattle; several lunches of right
good, finished beaves were offered and
brought steady prices, some selling as
high as S. 20. The palmer unfinished
kinds were called weak to l0cts lower.
Some choice mixed light weights sold
at "a. 80, and one bunch of long fed
heiferS went at $4.75. Cow and heifer
stuff was bought freely,if good killers.
The country COWS and thin heiferS
were barely steady, Gamers were dull,
bulls ruled less active than week
ago, veal calves were plentiful at easy
values, feeding steers arrived In limit
ed quantities and sold steady; stOckerS
remain unchanged,

decline. The bulk OF light weights
sold at 1926 to 30; bulk Of heavy
weights sold at 1910 to 80. The ex-
treme top price was 1856. Further
declines are antlclpated.-Rlce Bros,

Threshermen Fix Prices,

ers' Protective association today Is
sued schedule Of prices for work for
the coming wheat harvest, agreed ON
by the threshers Of the wheat belt. 1t
is somewhat higher than In the past,
but as IT. costs $4,000 to buy a thresh-
ing outfit and the daily expense is
nearly $50, the threshers think they
are not asking too much. They figure
that it is tive-year job to pay for
machine with fifty days work each
season, and threshing 1000 bushels OF
grain day.
This is the price list that farmers
will have to pay, as every thresher
practically In the wheat counties has
joined the combine, the figures being
by the bushel; Wheat, with hands
and teams, 10 cents; with hands and

The press agents of Senator Long
are announcing that Long is working
for Harmony" and that he has seen
the leaders OF both factions with this
object In view. This is good, but If
we are correctly informed, Long Is
one of the best machine politicians In
the state, and 1t is largely through
his efforts that the machine obtained
such powerful hold on Kansas poll
tics. The machine elected Long. 1t
also caused the intense factional
spirit which now exists and which
jeOpardizes the future success OF the
party. 1t Is fitting that Long now
realizing the condition after having
been a principal cause should seek to
amellorate them.

Try The Primary System.

All harmony negotiations are liable
to come to naught, because the voters
may veto same at election time II
their wishes are not properly consult
ed In making nominations. Nomina-
tlon of candidates by the primary
election system would probably furn-
iSh the best solution to this problem,
for then the voter having chance for
his little say In selecting the candi-
date would have no room for kicking
II his man failed Of success. Nothing
would more effectually knock "rings"
and "slateS" and these have been the
great causes Of dissatisfaction and
strife within party ranks.
Let's adopt the primary system!
