One OF our subscribers who recently

called at our place OF business and
spent few minutes in "A friendly chat.
We noticed that he had letter ad-
dressed to Montgomery Ward & Co.
We asked him II lie sent away for his

II was an order for groceries, that lie
was not well acquainted In Ordway

see single ad from grocery 4 uoting

and consequently sent the order to
Montgomery Ward Il Co., because
lie had their prices on everything

Poets Of National Greatness.

Victor Hugo once said In his lord.
iy. generalizing way. that 1t was
Shakespeare who prevented England
from being only another Carthage;
and II is indeed true that but for our
great poets we should not hold the
place we hold in the opinion OF Eu.
rope. Because of them we do not
vince when we are described as a ma.
ton OF shopkeepers, for they prove
that we, like the Florentines and Vene.
tians. are something more than that.
NJ. Bourget has expressed the general
wonder OF cultivated foreigners that
the English nation. which seems so
matter OF fact. and even dull. should
have produced two poets compared
with whose works all other poetry
seems to be prose: and these poets are
the very two who are to be honored to
day In Rome. II Is certainly a fact
that more than any other nation we
produce men of genius who vary ex.
tremely from our normal type, and we
never have produced more wonderful
poets than Shelley and Keats.-Lon.

Live Stock Market.
} THE NEW ERA.

Special to THE New ERA.
Kansas City Stock Yards, July 5.
The cattle market last week de-
veloped Il stronger demand for light
steers, yearlings and butcher grades
and gain OF 10 to 10 cents for the
! week was made by these classes, but
heavy steers were draggy, and moved
at reduction of 10 cents for the week.
The total cattle supply for the week
was 45, 900 head, but fully half the re-
ceipts were from below the quaran-
tine line, from which territory grass
is possible for owners to get them out.
The supply from the southwest and
west last week was confined to small
shipments Of mixed cattle from Colo
RADIO and Arizona, consisting mostly
of stock cows and heifers at $3.50 to
$2.75. A large string Of Oklahoma
stockers sold at $4.9O and grass beef
steers are moving from southern Kan
sas. and selling at 1915 to $6.3 for
weights around 1900 pounds. Quaran-
tine grass steers sell at 81 to 1926, in
cludIng all weights, and grass cows
from that territory bring 50 % to 81
for most shipments, veal calves $3.50
to $500. The run today is 5000 cattle,
market steady. The supply today is
liberal considering that it Is a holi-
day observed in most lines Of busi-
ness, and the market is satisfactory.
Stockers are selling at 1915 to $5.35,
and feeders range from $3.50 to $500,
embracing all grades.
The sheep trade has been the scene
of some wild fluctuations in the last
ten days. caused mainly by the ap-
pearance Of grass sheep from the
northwest at the Northern markets,
and the determination of buyers to
open the seasons market on them at
low figure. $3.50 for wethers and
$5. 90 for yearlings was the ultimatum
of buyers first of last week, but the
situation has improved since, market
stronger today, and as good as any
time last week, run 1000 head. The
supply has been small, hut outside in
huences forced dealers here to recOg-
niZe them to a certain extent.
Spring lambs sold today at $50
Arizona springs last week at 1925,
some medium class Texas muttons
today at 81 25, yearlings worth up to
Sc. .25, and best killing ewes $3.50, al
though fancy breeding ewes would
exceed that figure. Goats sell at $2.75
to $3. 60.

"A number of Colorado Springs pro-
moters were in Sugar City Saturday,
looking over the Lake Meredith filing
and the lands which can be irrigated
from that reservoir. These men were
greatly pleased with the proposition

commence at once on the ditch out or
the Lake on the south side and put In
a pipe line leading to the pumping
plapt which will be about mile from

to put in large flood ditch from the

Ask For A Franchise

The Ordway Electric Light &

in Sugar City and the matter will
come up at the next meeting of the
town board. The members of the
board seem willing to grant the fran
chise but are averse to having the
word Ordway appear in the name of
the corporation. With the exception
of few minor points, the franchise,
as presented, appears alright to our
neighbors and will probably be passed
on favorably at the next regular meet

The heat of the past few days re-
minds us that the dog days are here
again when fOrsoOth we must sweltcr
and sweat like hired man at a picnic.
The term dog days Is name given by
the ancient astronomers to the twcn-
ty days before and the twenty days
after the rising Of the dog star or
Sirius, with the sun. This period is
at present reckoncd from July 3 to
August II. 1t was for years the COM
mon opinion that this conjunction of
the rising OF the dog star with the
rising of the sun was one OF the causes
of the extreme heat of summer. This
conjunction, however, does not occur
at the same time in all attitudes, nor
is il constant in the same region for a
long period; hence there is much vari-
alton as to the limits of dog days. 1t is
a mere accident that the rising of Sir
ius with the sun occurs at the hottest
season of the year. In time it will
take place in the depth of winter.
The Egyptians began their year with
the heliacal rising of the dog star,
which event coincided with the flood
of the Nile. Field and Farm.
