Battle Hymn Of The Women

They are waking, waking, waking.
In the East and in the.West:
They are throwing wide the windows
to the sun;
And they see the dawn is breaking,
And they culver with unrest,
For they know their work is waiting
to be done.
They are waking in the CITY,,
They are waking on the farm,
They are waking in the boulder and
and the mill;
And their hearts are full of pity
AS they sound the loud alarm
To the sleepers who in darkness
slumber still.
In the guarded harem prison.,
Where they smother under wells.
And all echoes of the world are
walled away,
Though the sun has not yet risen,
Yet the ancient darkness pales.
And the sleepers in their slumber
dream.
Oh, their dreams shall grow in splen-
dor
Till each sleeper wakes and stirs:
I'LL she breaks from old traditions
and is free.
And the world shall rise and render
Unto Woman what is hers,
And welcome in the race that is to be.
Unto Woman, God, the Maker.
Gave the secret of His plan:
1T is written out in cipher on her
soul.
From the darkness you must take
her,
To the light of day, O. Man,
Would you know the mighty meaning
of the scroll.

Taere was ball game out to the
base ball park Sunday. Wash much
of a game at that. 1t was all Malta
from start to finish although we did
give the visitors run in the eighth
when their manager" made a home
run. Joe Sklower got so tired run
ming bases that he started to run the
other way and Shorty called it out.
Roy Emery, Parker, Pierson, Jones
and Doe Easton all played ball like
they really had too. Saco had their
same old howl of not having all their
players-well Saco, if "you have any
more at home like these" please let
them there remain. Malta looked
real cute in their new suits of green
and the little red caps. Fred Cooper
acted as umpire. AS the other teams
in the valley have closed for the sea-
son Malta has been compelled to do
likewise. Our team has made an en-
viable record this year having, played
IL games and won 10 games and lost
8, bringing their percentage up to .767.
1t is rumored that Malta will play a
game with Glasgow during the labor
lay celebration in that city in Sep

Weekly Live Stock Market Report

Especially prepared by Clay, Robinson e. Co..
Receipts of western range cattle
here last week totalled 10, 900. COM
pared with 1900 the previous week
and $500 like period a year ago.
The enormous total of $4,000 ar
rived Monday and Tuesday and as a
result there were some sharp declines.
For instance beef steers went 25 and
4Oc lower than the close of the pre-
vious week, common and medium
grades showing most loss. However.
under moderate proportions and a
good demand, she stock held steady.
StOckers and feeders also held a
steady range. After Tuesday there
was sharp contraction in the supply
and bounding market resulted.
Demand was very brisk and late in
the week prices for beef steers
showed Is and csc advance over the
Tuesday trade. 10 and 15c for she
stock and like advance for stocker,
and feeders. Top for the week was
$6.7O, no other sale being made
within 2Oc per cwt of this price for
the season thus far. There were So
head of 1879 lbs average in the
shipment, marketed by the Seiben
Live Stock Co., of Montana and sold
by Clay, Robinson & Co. However.
bulk of weeks tradidg was at $3.50
and 5.25, with Gamer steers down to
$500. Cows and heifers went large
ly at 1915 and 1926, although Clay.
Robinson & Co., sold 81 head of
|, O75 pound heifers from the above
company's ranch at S. IS, being soc
per cwt higher than any other heifers

son. Trading in stockers and feeders

evenness of the lamb market, prices

extra choice rangers sold at $500
against S7.15 early in the week,

TO say that the work which has
lust been completed will aid the Re-
publican partyin the campaign which
will soon open is to state the situa-
ton mildly. Almost every impor-
tant measure which was on the party
program on the first Monday of De-
cember. 1909, was OH the statute book
by the last Saturday in June. 1910.
The roll call of the measures enacted
within the last few month S will make
the work Of the republican campaign
orator this year easy and pleasant.
Railway legislation, statehood for
the last OF the territories, apostal
savings bank, land withdrawal in the
interest of national conservation,
publicity of campaign contributions,
creating bureau of mines, providing
funds for pushing reclamation, eX-
tending the activities of the tariff
board, and a commission to .fOrmu-
late plans for the more economical
administration of the Federal Gov
ernm ent, are among the acts Of large
consequence which were. passed III
the session which has just closed.
Taken in connection with the tariff
act, which was passed in the extra
session, the record of the SiXty-tirSt
Congress- thus far makes story
which the party's spellbinders will
find to be very effective on the stump.
The tone of hopefulness which the
democratic newspapers and polite
ians had month or two ago has lost
its courage. No democrat now is
predicting victory for his party in
November. The rally which was
made in the last ten or twelve days of
the session was notable for it's de-
cisiveness. The party has had good
leadership in Senate, House and
White House. All the republican
chieftains have pulled together with
courage and intelligence. Once more
the party is aggressive, confident and
enthusiastic. The dubious outlook
which industry saw a few weeks ago,
and which registered itself on the eX-
changes, has been banished. The
prospect is that 1910 will be q great
year for the republican party and
for their country.
