Chalmers was once asked how long It
took to prepare a sermon. He replied:
THAT depends on how long you

days; If 1t is to be three-quarters Of an

All Wrong.

The city fathers should take i'm
mediate action in regard to the
manner in which stock is i'm
pounded in La lara. A number
of complaints have been made by
nearby farmers and ranchmen to
the editor of this paper in the past
few weeks and it does seem that
the marshal is given altogether too
much latitude BY granting him
"A prize of 81 90 per head for the
stock impounded it is to be sup
posed that he will run in every
animal he can find. whether it be
longs in town or is the property of
neigfIboring ranchmen. 1t is de
cidedly wrong to impound stock
that may be passing through town
on their way home as has been
done and run up an exhorbitant
feed bill on the owner before he or
she learns that their stock has
been taken up. when it would
have been much easier to have let
them 90 or to have started them
on. The stock ordinance was
passed for the purpose of prevent
ing residents of the town from
turning their mich COWS upon the
streets and not for the purpose of
having the ranchmen of the com
munity imposed upon by IA mar
shall who can use theordinance for
his personal gain The 81 90 per
head reward should be rescinded
and the trouble would cease.

week Heavy steers did not show
so much change and common COWS
were no more than steady as de

The agitation against eastern pack

demand for local dressed meats and
consequently in IA better demand
