Basket Ball.

Tomorrow, Thanksgiving day, marks
the opening OF St. Johnsbury gay
winter season, as on that date the hrst
basket ball game is scheduled. The OPP
posing teams are Company d, about
whom no remarks are necessary, ana
the team representing the Stapleton
Athletic Association of New York City.
The latter is recognized as the champion
heavy weight team OF Greater New
York and comes here with record OF
victories that is only excelled by the
remarkable record achieved by our own
favorites last season.
In tomorrow's games the teams will
line up as follows: Company d, for
wards, Matthews and Brennan; center,
Wright guards, Kruger and Callahan.
Stapleton- A. A., forwards, OBren
and Spain; center, Meaney; guards,
Coward, Lamb, and Spindler. Pick
your winners.
The auction sale of season tickets will
begin Immediately after the afternoon
game and will be continued at 100 IN
evening. Please bear this in mind and
avoid confusion. A few cents invested
at this time ensures the investor good
seat for the entire season and will I'M
doubtedly bring its returns many fold IN
pure fun before spring.
The new team have already made a
good impression in practice. Toby 5
long shots occasion as much surprise
now as they ever did, even though they
are ex Dectcd. Brennan shows up well as
! a shot and looks as though he would
deliver the goods. lie is fast onthe floor
aud in passing he gets away with the
bali in way that is sure to please the
fans. Skcets Wright and Gus Kruger
look as though they were all that has
been claimed for them, and altogether II
looks like Company D for the opening
games.
The past two days have been devoted
to signal practice and working ap team
plays. Considering the short time the
boys have had for practice they have
progressed remarkably and have few
plays perfected that will cause the visit
ors to open their eyes.
1t is rumored that Pat Doyle and
Swenson, NOW of McKeesport, already
have their ears to the ground awaiting
even the fantest call from the green clad
hills.
Toby looks as fit as a fiddle and after
an exciting summer as chautter OF a
steam roller it isn't likely that the polite
game of basket ball affect his heart
action.
Referee Gum will oficate and the
games will be called at $50 and SOC

Mr.. Farmer, Attention!

The point can not be too strongly
emphasized that the coming interna-
tional stock show in Denver, January
2O-25 next, is pre-eminently for Colo
RADIO people. Live stock and agricul-
ture in Colorado are and always will
be almost inseparahle. The one de-
pends upon the other. If Colorado
is to develope as she should in an agri-
cultural way, the live stock interests
must be developed in like proportion.
The coming show with entries from
all parts Of the country, is one which
all farmers and ranchmen should see
and profit by. It will be an exposition
In every sense ofthe word. The ex-
hibits of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs,
of Colorado grain and forage products
and Of many other things of interest
to the farmer, will he the best ever
seen in Colorado. The Denver & Rio
Grande will sell tickets, one fare for
the round trip, January 10 aud 30.
These tickets will be good returning
up to January q.

Live Stock Market,

Denver Union Stock Yards, Jan. 8.
Last week was very good one in
the local cattle market. Receipts were
not heavy but there was good de.
mand for the stuff here and prices
closed 10 to 25 cents higher. Good
beef steers found ready outlet, tine de-
mand being much better than the
supply. Prices ranged from % 70 to
A.35 but choice kinds quoted up to
$3.50. Good killing COWS from the
feed lots brought 1928 to Sc. so, several
punches going at the latter price dur
Ing the week and this morning. Fair
to good cows sold at 2s5 to 1928 with
common to fair stuff at $500 to $276.
Bulls were about dime higher, best
selling at $2.s5 with range down to
$2.25. Veals also closed higher with
bulk Of best light weight kinds at $4.25
to $3.50. Indications point to q good
demand here for feed feeders and stock.
| ers during the balance Of the month
and especially during stock show week,
when large numbers of eastern buyers
will be here to make purchases. With
heavy receipts and lower markets at
all eastern points today prices here
were weak to dime lower on all but
the very best cattle. Supply was 1900
head.
Sheep and lamb prices are 25 to SO
cents higher than a week ago. The
supply during the week was fair and
demand good. Yearlings sold at $4.75
to $500, ewes at $3.50 to $40 aud
lambs are quotable at s.. 10 to Sc. 25
though none of the latter on sale.-w.
