KITCHIN''-THAT is THE
SLOGAN.

The argument in this campaign is
on our SIDE. This argument may not
have been presented to your neighbOr,
who intends to vote the Republican
ticket. Let every one who advocates
the election of Bryan and Kitchin
make determined effort between now
and election day, to get one vote
among his neighbOrs. From now on
let the slogan be, 1.-TWO votes for
Bryan and Kitchin-my own and an
other man'S.'

Hay and Feedstuffs
Indications of rain early yesterday were Offset
by light arrivals, hence the hay market showed
no further change in prices. The circular of
Somers Co., written just before the rain, said {:
The rather firm prices during the last week
have attracted considerable hay to market. with
ended amount to $3.50 tons. which is rather
heavy for this time of year. Considerable anxi-
ETY. has been felt on the part OF many consumers
here, which has resulted in all receipts being
readily absorbed and the market well maintained
at the recent advance. There is considerable un-
easiness felt throughout the country too which
has resulted in many holders refusing TO dispose
OF their hay and a number of opera tors buying
up considerable quantities on speculation.
calm, conservative estimate of the situation shows
that it is far from being alarming at the mo-
ment, for, although some districts bound to
in many valleys the crops look very we'll With
rain they will produce abundantly, and without
rain VIII make fair yield. The alfalfa crop
will undoubtedly be bOuntiful and with the large
carry over stock of old crop hay can see moth
Ing at the moment to warrant q belief In extreme
figures at any time during the coming season.
Choice wheat hay alone Is in exceptionally
good demand, with prices very well maintained.
The better grades of volunteer hay also sell
ing very readily, whereas the medium grades of
wheat tame oat and wild oat are a bit neg
lected. although holding without any particular
decline"
