Representative Hog Sales.
Below are given a few Of the repre-
sentative hog sales:
stockers and Feeders.

Country buyers have been in small
attendance and altho dealers have not
had many cattle in their pens they
have been slow to take hold of fresh
arrivals. Poorest selling classes are
plain and common light stock. Chief
country interest in the stocker line CEN
ters on medium to pretty good kinds
which have of late been going above
s4.25 and up to s4.65. while the best
demand for feeders is also in the trade
for the $50 to 900 lb grades. which are
selling at s4.5064,S5. Packers have
changed hands up to $1,000.

Ames, May 21.-The freshmen de-
feated the seniors in class base ball
Tuesday to the tune Of 8 to 2. For
three. years the '0S's have won the
championship honors in base ball. This
year they donated $50 cup to the
athletic association to be given yearly
to the winning class. They confidently
expected that their numerals would be
the first to be inscribed, and defeat at
the hands of the "preps" was as dis
appointing as it was unexpected.
