Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Weakness was
the dominant feature of the trade
Monday Lower prices was another
factor to be reckoned with by the SELL
ers who had plain and medium cattle
to offer The yards were we'll filled
with hold-overs of the plain and lower
grade kinds, and naturally there was
very, poor demand for fresh offerings
of such classes. Some of them sold
steady. but this was not the rule. A
decline of 10c could safely be regis
tered for most of such kinds and a
goodly number of the light steers
could be had 3O@40c lower than the
best prices two weeks ago. This de-
cline was noticeable for steers selling
up to $3.50 also. while the bulk of the
medium to good 500 to $50 lib selling
up to $3.50 showed mostly Csc decline

STOCK SHOW WAS FINE.
Agricultural Exhibits at Lyon County

Agricultural Exhibits at Lyon County
Fair Wero Also Splendid.
Special to Times Republican.
Rock Rapids, Sept. 25.-The Lyon
county fair had successful session.
Notwithstanding the bad weather
which made it necessary to prolong
the fair one day beyond the advertised
dates. The agricultural and fine stock
show was one of the finest outside
of the state fair. The grand premium
stock parade was a quarter of mile
in length, and was viewed by 1900
people.
The track, which is second to none
in the state, was muddy and heavy
from rains, the running race Thursday
finishing in a heavy rain storm.
The 2:30 pacing Saturday was won
by Queen Lii, of Sheldon, in 2:29A ;
second, Pointer, of Sioux Falls, S. D.:
third, Monte, of Adrian, Mimi.
The 2:22 trot was won by Hazel
veach, wallingford, in 2:291s; Wood
Fern, second Worthington, Mimi;
Lenty c., third, Alta.
In the 2:17 trot, Niagara won in
1929; Look Sir, from Alta, second, and
Lady Almoneer, from Sheldon, third.
The one-half mile running race was
won by War Bennett; Rosco, Jr, Sec
ond, and Single Eye, third Time
541a.
Horsemen are we'll pleased with the
accommodations and fair treatment
received, and will make the Lyon coun-
ty fair one of their dates for next
year.

Except In Portions of East Cen
trail and Southeast Iowa
Districts
LATE CORN MAKES PROGRESS
The Only Exception to This Is In the
Few Districts Where Wet and
Cloudy Weather Prevailed During
Past Week-corn Harvesting in Pro-
eress in All Sections.
Special to Times Republican.


Des Moines, Sept. 25.-The weather
and crop bulletin, issued by the Iowa
Weather and Crop Service, for the
week ending September "a, is as fo.-
lows:
The past week was quite variable in
temperature, and in the distribution of
rainfall. In the west central and north
ern districts there was a general pre-
valence of cool and wet weather, but IN
other portions of the state the average
temperature was above normal, and
the rainfall was generally light The
amount of moisture in the soil is. now
ample for pasturage and fall blowing,
except in portions of the east central
and southeast districts, where more
rain is needed.
The late corn has made good prog
ress toward maturity except in the dis
tricts where wet and cloudy weather
prevailed Corn harvesting is in prog
ress in all sections, with AN increased
acreage in shock In districts where
dairying is the leading industry. Many
crop reporters state that corn is nearly
all safe, but conservative estimates
indicate that from 10 to 20 per cent of
the crop is not as well matured as
could be desired to withstand killing
frost. The crop as a whole Will be bet
er and sounder if frostess weather
prevails until October 5, which is
about the average date of killing frosts
in Iowa. In the southern half of the
state the bulk Of the crop is now re-
ported to be practically safe. The
larger amount of immature corn is in
the central and north central districts,
where there has been heavy rainfall
and a rank growth of stalks.

Chicago Sept. 25.-Cattle - While

Hogs.
Continued appreciation In values
showed them up another 5m10c today
and buying was active until the great
bulk Of the supply was taken.
Hog values may suffer a setback this
week owing to the recent bulge. Such
advances always start run and the
country is not yet suspected of being

can be maintained on the bulk of hogs
during the next six weeks, everybody
will be pleased. The season is at HAND
when packers begin their fall raid pre-
paratory to putting the cost of droves
on a low basis for the winter packing
season. but at present they are not ag-
gressively bearish. The hog market
horizon is decidedly luminous and nc
bargain counter will be erected during
the winter packing season.
Sheep.
A tremendous run of live mutton the
previous day, threw its shadow over
the market today, and trade was on a
low plane, except in the case of a few
choice sheep and lambs.

The Sunset Gun.

Against the sky the flag is flung
BY winds that catch the bugle song
And bear 1t onward, giving tongue
To echoes family sweet and lorg.
The white clouds in the western sky
Drip now with red rays Of the sun,
And through the forest floats sigh
That whispers that the day is done.
The sun dips lower. lower; then
The clouds blaze out in richer red
That seems reflected back again
From the brave banner overhead.
The shifting colors, pink and gold
And red. like fabrics in loom.
Charge subtly-stripd and stream ano
And now there comes mellow boom.
1t is the sunset gun. Now slow
The flag glides downward to he furled
And mist and cloud and fair sky show
Their sunset glory to the world.
A roll of drums. a murmured tune,
The flagstaff tapering and tall:
Then to the vanished afternoon
There lifts melting bugle call
The shadows of nights army come
In serried ranks adown the hall
With neither trumpet. fife nor drum.
And all is strangely hushed and still.
Up from the east the first stars rise,
Out Of the west in red and white
The sun sends bars that stripe thu
skies
The old flag bends above the night.

The Old Story.

She was young, pretty, and a teacher
of history in a high school, He was
younger, a student of march of events,
and very much taken with his teacher
In fact, he was much better acquainted
with her beauty than he was with amy
historical instance, save, perhaps, all
the famous beauties who have at one
time influenced the making of history.
He would sit in the schoolroom and
let his only too vivid imagination pic
ture scenes in which he and the pretty
teacher figured as hero and heroine;
he Paris she Helen, and SO On down
the list. All of them however, looked
chorus when compared to his divinity.
Ninon de Lenclos escaped, fortunately
for all concerned, for he did not know
about the perennial Ninon at that
tender age.
Finally, the annual dance given by
the school came round, and what was
the Joy of the lovelorn youth when the
pretty teacher asked him to take her.
1t was the custom the teachers to ask
the students to act as their escorts.
How his little heart beat when she
asked him to stay after school ore day
and requested that he take her to the
dance. 1t was really too good to be
true
Fastening home, he counted over his
savings from an allowance given him
by an indulgent mamma They were
enough for flowers, but where was the
cab to come from? He could not pos
sibly ask her to ride in a street car,
and despair sat like ia huge stone upon
the breast of his enjoyment.
Finally mama was induced to. put
up an extra "fiver,' and the horizon
was clear again.
Then came the eventful night Were
there ever such waltzes and two-steps
as he had with that teacher? Not at
that time. But there came plenty
afterward that equaled them.
The journey home was all too short.
AS she stood on the steps, the moon
light lending an additional enchant-
ment to her beauty. she leaned toward
him. extended her hand, and said:
"You tell your mother I've had a
lovely time
He walked home, and his marks for
history increased from then on He
took to study to forget his unrequited

turkeys Heir.

1t is the, fate of the heir apparent
to the throne of Turkey that he must
be kept in ignorance of the happen
nings in the world. When, therefore.
a doctor is to see him the physician
must submit greater suspicion. Being
an European, he may not surrepti-
tiously carry to the prisoner informa-
ton which would enlighten him. When
he pays a professional visit to the
harem the doctor is under still greater
suspicion. Being a European. he may
not see the patient. This makes a
diagnosis difficult. The attendants
stretch huge curtain across the room.
Behind this the patient takes her stand,
thrusts out her tongue and hand thru
the holes in the curtain, SO that the
man of medicine may see one end feel
the other yet not look on the face
of the person to whom they belong.

The prejudice against the uniform,
when it takes the form of refusing its

justified by experience, is bad thing
