Cows and Mixed Stock-Conditions in
the market for butcher stock were no
better than they were last week and in
most cases it took lower prices to move
the stuff. Demand was very slack from
all sources. Bids and sales on the me-

Hogs-Receipts at this point were
normal, but heavier runs at the eastern
markets made it possible for packers to
force values lower, with the result that
the market opened up about ten cents
lower and most of the hogs sold on this
basis. Light hogs continue to sell at or
near the top, while the extreme heavies
were hardly wanted at any price. The
demand eased off somewhat near the
declines of 15c. Bulk of the receipts
sold from 90 to $50, with tops selling
at $3.50.

Il have been a great reader. and as
editor of newspaper and with other
work I have asked too much of my
eyes, in consequence whereof they
have of late bothered me greatly. They
panied me considerably and my sight
was blurred. i heard about DR..
Weber's ability, and made up my mind
to have him treat my eyes before it
should be too late. He found that In
one of my eyes i was nearsighted and
in the other just the reverse, together
with astigmatism and irritation Of the
nerve of vision. With DIR. Weber's
specially prepared glasses and treat
ment my sight was speedily improved.
and now, at the age Of 50. i can use
my eyes as much as l wish and have
not the slightest Inconvenience .

BATTLES IN PRETTY BAY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I think the happiest day Of this va
cation was the day / spent at Balboa.
The lady work for decided she want
ed to go to the beach, so she and her
husband planned it all out and told
me just the day before we went.
The day of going arrived, and as I
opened the door all three of the chill
dren pounced on me and started to tell
me what to do.
After much bustling and hurrying
the children were ready and the car
was most due, so we GRABBED wraps,
for the car, reaching the depot just
as it arrived.
All was we'll with the children while
on the car, as there was SO much for
them to see.
AS soon as we arrived at Balboa we
went to a launch which took us to
the end of the bay, Rock Point. In
order to reach our bathing place we
had to go un a steep grade and then
down a rocky and rugged path. We
found rock cave which served for
a bathing house.
Our bathing place was as near per-
feet as one could wish. 1t was sur
rounded by rocks, excepting the end,
where the gentle waves came craving
in as though afraid Of frightening
some child. The water was delightfully."-
warm and the sand was clear OF all
obstacles dangerous to bare feet.
After bathing we ate our lunch, as
it was 1870 p. m, on ledge ABOUT
three feet high and hanging over the
water. The children then stretched
their weary legs for a nap while my

TELLS HAPPY HUNTING DAY
IN PRETTY RHYME
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
T HERE was once pretty boy and
his name was Tommy Frew,
Il And he never could go hunting,
cause he had so much to do.
Until one day he met girl, and
Rachel was her name,
And for all he had to do, he went
hunting just the same.
Up to Rachers house he went with his
rifle in his hand
stood before the house, called her out
doors, and
Asked her to go hunting, and she said
she would,
Then ran and asked her mother, and
her mother said she could.
Then up the hill they went, hunting
for a rabbit,
But he shot twice and missed it-now
that's a bad habit! -
Then Rachel took the rifle and
squirrel she tried to get
So she shot and cried, i've got%him,'
but Tom answered, mo, not yet"
Then to the squirrel they ran. but it
had reached it's den,
So she took up the rifle ana sald she q
try again.
But she tried and she tried, but she
didn't get thing,
Then disgustedly she said, "Oh, come
on, I'd rather swing"
Then together they went back and in
the swing they swung,
Then climbed the big oak tree and
from a limb they hung.
When five o'clock came slowly round
young Tom slid down the rope,
And when Rachel said, "Oh, can't you
stay?" then Tommy answered,
Nope"
"You see I have to milk the cows" so
to his home they went,
And they both thought that THAT
day was pleasantly spent.
This is the happiest day have had
this vacation, and it was while we
were in Newhall:
L saw the pen lying on the desk, sat
down, and without thinking, wrote
this and sent it to Tommy. 1t was the
happiest day 1 had spent, so I just
wrote it to you.
Much love, RACHEL SMITH.

NEW BABY SISTER BRINGS JOY
Happiest Day of Vacation Passed
Gazing at Her
FIRST PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IN HE happiest day l have spent this
summer. 1 expect some of my
a cousins will tell of a day at the
beach or mountains; others may have
spent their happlest day at Catalina
island; still others, perhaps, will tell
about the midsummer frolic.
But my happiest day was not spent
at either of the places; it was spent
at home. 1t was the 18th of July.
The day was spent helping with the
regular housework and taking peep
at my little baby sister who came the
18th.
Every time the nurse went into the
room l followed close behind. When
1 was not looking at her l was think
ing about her
The baby has blue eyes and dark
hair and the sweetest little mouth you
ever saw. Most any time in the day
if you went into the room you could
have seen Elmer, my little brother,
leaning over on the bed looking at her.
1 have been to the beaches and hills
and been visiting, but of all the many
happy days / have had, this was the
happiest ELSIE McWILLIAMS.

Dear Aunt Laurie.
*" URRY up and get dressed"
called mamma from the hall.
IL 1 was so sleepy, but finally
got dressed l hurried downstairs as
fast as I could After breakfast I
went and let out the chickens and
fed them.
Then we all hoped in the spring
wagon. Homer put the lunch box in
the wagon. Papa brought the freezer
of ice cream and mamma a basket OF
cream puffs. Peaches and grapes were
in paper bags. 1t was about O'Clock
when we got started. The wagon went
bumpity- bump over the rough roads.
After we had gone eight miles the
wagon came to q standstill. We all
Jumped out to see what we could find.
Martha and l waded in a little stream
of water. In one place it was wide
and shallow. We waded in the shall
low water for while, then got out and
put on our shoes and stockings. We
then followed the stream for more than
a mile On the way we got lots OF
flowers. We saw q spring in between
two big rocks, so we went and got a
drink.
On our way back we saw an old
negro Martha got scared and said she
was going to hide, but just then the
negro spoke:
"Why, hello, honeys. What has
brought you way round here?"
He spoke kindly, so l just said:
"Picking flowers"
Martha then spoke up: 1--WE thought
we would go into the woods little
way on our way back"
"Wen, good by. honeys now. l hope
I'll see you again." said the old negro,
as he slowly walked away.
When we got back we told of our
talk with the negro man. Then NAM
ma said:
II believe Martha and Mabel could
easily be carried away"
mo, we couldn't. exclaimed Martha.

PASSES DAY WITH cHUM

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I have had many happy days during
my vacation, SO I will tell you one OF
them.
Last week I woke up at o'clock in
the morning, ate my breakfast and
caught the O'Clock car to Redondo to
visit one of my friends.
when 1 arrived had to jump off the
bridge into the riverbed. Then I fol-
lowed one of ths irrigating bitches un-
til l came to his house.
The first thing 1 did was to go in
swimming Then we made a net and
caught lot of fish. After we had
enough fun we ate dinner. After din
ner we rode the horses out to pasture
and then went in swimming all after
noon.
After we dressed we went to get
some fruit and to see the orchard. At
5 o'clock we played around in the hay
loft, and then played tag all the way
over to the car.
When I arrived home I was very
tired, but 1 had to do my chores any
how. HOWELL SEAVEY

PLAYS AND swIMs ALL DAY
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day in June was very lonely
because my brother and sisters were
gone, so 1 thought I would go and
visit my friend Russell, but when l
got there he was swimming, so 1
went in, too.
Then we went out on bicycles, and
we met some other boys, so we went to
the ball grounds and played baseball.
That was the happiest time 1 spent
this vacation time. DON HARRAH.

RATHER CROSSES PATH
WHILE CLIMBING HILLS
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I THINK the happiest day I have
passed this vacation was August 16.
Il We went to the mountains about
seven miles from here. My friend Lula
was with me.
We arrived there about o'clock and
having put the tent up we got our
bathing suits and went to the water.
We stayed there long time Then
we went back and dressed. We
thought as it was cool we would climb
the hills near the tents. We went 10
some bushes and cut canes.
We climbed a while and then as we
thought it must be near dinner time we
started for home. We got part way
down the hill when we heard rattle
in the bushes and a rattlesnake ran
across our path. We ran down the
hill and decided when we wanted TO
make any more explorations we would
take an older person with u.s.
In the afternoon we took our fishing
lines and went to the creek to fish.
We stayed there all the afternoon, but
caught no fish.
In the evening we were invited to
another camp to roast marshmalloWs
and popcorn. While they popped corn
we sang, then each in turn told
ghost story. Then we went to bed,
tired but happy.
1 have never written to you before,
and hope to see my story in print.

PuNcTURED TIRE is FUN, TOO

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 have spent many happy days this
vacation, but one of the happiest 1
can think of was at Venice on the
25th of August.
We left home about o'clock in the
morning in the automobile. AS we
were going down Sunset boulevard we
punctured the tire with a tack and
had to stop to put on a new tire, but
that was part of the fun.
We reached Venice about 1920. We
rested on the sand awhile, then ate
our lunch In the afternoon we went

MAKES NEW AcouAINTANcEs

Dear Aunt Laurie:
In and about Los Angeles are many
beautiful parks, one of the most beau
tiful and popular being Sycamore
Grove, situated between two ranges
of lofty hills, through which the lines
of travel connecting Los Angeles with
Pasadena pass.
one of the elements of beauty in
this park is it's stately sycamore
trees planted by nature hundreds of
years ago.
1t was here on beautiful day in
August, 1910, as you all remember
well, that Aunt Laurie gave picnic
to her nephews and nieces. From the
time of arrival to the departure not a
moment passed but that was filled
with some kind of pleasant pastime.

LONDON'S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the di
rection of exploring ancient remains will be graft
fed to learn that the Society of Antiquar1es has
succeeded in securing the preservation OF very
fine fragment of the great Roman wall around
London, which has just been laid bare London
letter to the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure, the external
wall of defense built about the city in the fourth
or fifth century. have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets or houses.
These have rarely escaped demolition The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit Of
the public.
It is situated near Newgate street, close to
new annex of the general postof1ce. The frag'
ment which is that Of great curved bastion,
is SO feet long 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur
face of the ground. The whole is in wonderful
state OF preservation.
The material is that known "Kentish rag, >"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers or bands of red
tiles, such as may be seen at Burgh castle. Pc
vensey and Peterborough. The interesting relic is
to be built around, that it will lie in a cave
which may be entered by stairs and inspected by
artificial light. The line of the great Roman wall
is we'll known and much Of it undoubtedly re-
mains below the houses to-day, which are largely
built upon it as upon the securest of foundations.
