Big Receipts of sheep.

The sheep receipts the last week have
been the largest in the history Of the
South Omaha yards. During the week
10000 have been placed on the local mar
ket. The bulk OF these-anImals were sold
again to the stockers and feeders and will
again be returned at a later period fat
tened for the slaughter. Thus the sheep
business bids fair to be good for the
autumn and early winter at least. The
sheep have sold fairly well, but the large
shipments were responsible for a slight
decline In price.

- WEATERS-which are an impor-
tant factor with every girl who
goes in at all for athletics-have
been undergoing changes, in spite
of themselves. For the newest one TO
appear upon, the scene is so utterly un-
like the rough-and-ready idea of a
sweater that its name is the only ex-
cuse II has fur staying in that class.
That sweGaer was never meant for Sc
Sious business, though il is a mighty
satisfactory little thing TO slip into upon

Now for a description of that mis-
named, but pretty. sweater:

or blue, or lavender. and-herein lies its
direct difference from sweaters in gen

with the stitch forming curious plated
stripes down front and back and sleeves,
irresistibly suggestive of a plated mint
stick, still popular.
Very few sweaters have collars. most
of them made instead with the V-necks,
which are not only the most comfort
able In style, but aren't continually
stretching out Of shape. Practically
none of them are made TO pull on over
the head-that would interfere with the
perfectly arranged coiffure, which is so
important a matter today. The excep-
tons are for the very young girl, who
'adores'' a varsity sweater. and would
