Why
IS NIIDOD PORCH
ODON SHADES
Are Needed

You need Vudor Porch Shades to get
the most out of your porch.
To make it a spot where you can
rest or work on the hottest days-out-
doors, yet free from the suns glare and
heat
You can do this with Vudor Porch
Shades; you can add to the house an
other room, cool and shady, where you
may enjoy every refreshing breeze, in
secluded comfort.
Vudor Porch Shades are very dur
able, and will last many seasons.
Another good feature about them is
the peculiar fact that those sitting on
the porch can see out, but passersby
cannot see in. In other words, you
have complete privacy, and can use
the porch or veranda the same as an
inside room, with infinitely more COM
fort on hot days.
Vudor Porch Shades are just the
thing for boxing in porches or bal
comics that are to be used as outdoor
sleeping or living apartments.
VudOr Porch Shades are made OF
thin, fiat strips of Linden Wood, close
ly bound by strong Seine Irvine, in a
lock-stitch weave.
They are artistically stained in soft,
pleasing colors. These colors are

you could hear it snap thirty yards. There
was not another boy in the school that could
approach this feat. He had not a rival as

ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
Rapid Growth of Kansas City Live
Stock Market.
j. A. RICKART,
LIS. Correspondent.

In almost every department
during the year 1907 the bust
ness at the Kansas City stock
yards shows a gain over 1906,
and in receipts of cattle, calves
and total carloads of live stock,
the year 1907 exceeds any pre-
vious year since the yards were
opened, in 1871. A total of
2,38O,OOO cattle have been re-
ceived, an average of almost
5000 head every business day of
the year. This does not Include
287, 900 head of calves received.
These totals are greater by So
600 cattle and $4,000 calves than
were ever received at Kansas
City in any year before. Re
ceipts of hogs for 1907 aggre-
gate 1915, 900 head, heaviest
since the drouth year, 1901,
sheep 1855, 900 head, and 90, 900
horses and mules.
To transport all this stock to
market required $4,000 stock
cars, equivalent to train of live
stock ], $50 miles long, or equal
tending completely across the
state of Kansas east and west or
to one train of live stock reach
ing AMIDST to Salt Lake City. In
other words, about 20 carloads
of live stock, on an average, have
been unloaded at the Kansas
City market every hour, night
and day, during the business
year of 1907, the money value of
which approximates ST40, 900,
600 for the year, an average daily
business of S45O,OOO for each
business day Although 1907 is
in many respects the banner
year of the Kansas City live
stock market, every indication
points to still greater achieve
ments in the future and it is only
a question of a few years when
this market will take its position
at the head of the live stock
markets of the world:
