THE MARKET LETTER.
Cattle Have Fine Market-eig De-

Kansas City, Nov. 14.-Aslde from
the, cold reception .accon1ed mi0dle
class steers last week, incmding the
warmed up variety, and a tame finish
TO the trade in stockers and feeders,
there was fine market on cattle.
She stuff and low priced steers held
up firm, prime steers would have sold
all right had there been any Offered

ing good killing percentages. About :
100 loads of Old Mexico cattle were !,
included, steers around s4OO, COWS

CATTLE from the Republic are coming
across freely, but the net conhribu-
tiOn to the beef supply from this
source is not so great as indicated by
the number of bad, because Of the
light average weight of the cattle.
The run today is $4,000 head here,
market strong to 10 higher Short fed
steers are selling better today, but
owners may expect TO be met at the
market with the seasonable argument
that poultry is more plentiful this
season than usual, and is cheaper, that
pork and mutton are relatively cheap
er than a year ago, and that the mar
ket for plain classes Of beef can there
fore, be easily overstocked. Colder
weather will put life into the beef
trade. Stockers and feeders are
stronger today, with plenty Of buyeu

kinds about 80 cents higher than a
year ago at this time. Quarantine
cattle came in freely last week, and
the quality was better than formerly.
Forty cars arrived in that division
today, market 10 higher, steers s4.oO

There was a strong demand from
packers an Of last week for hogs and

net gain of 5 to 10 cents. Quality
was better all around, a few loads q

stricted territory. and we're not

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars Of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The Milky baldric Of the skies,
And striped the pure celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light.
Flag Of the free, hearts hope and home
BY angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before US,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet
And freedoms banner streaming DER US.

FUN FOR GIRLS AND BOYS
GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL
BY MABEL RAY eooDLANDER.

Are you boys and girls all ready
for school? Perhaps you think there
is nothing to do until the first day OF
school comes, but I believe there Is
god deal that you might do right
now.
School days are nearly here. so
hunt up last years books and papers
and look them over carefully. 1t real
ly is fun to go over the old lessons
and see how much that used to be
hard is now very easy. Though / am
sure that most Of you will find some
OF the work still difficult, things you
never knew quite as well as you should
or which you have forgotten during
the long summer vacation. Most OF
US have such good 'forgetteries
They are sometimes better than our
memories, aren't they?
Does this plan sound dull to your
II really is not dull at all, for there
are always brothers and sisters or
friends who can join you, and SO,
working all together, the review Will
be more like play than lessons.
Take your old spelling lists, study
them well and then have a spelling
match. In the game way you can have
a geography or history or arithmetic
match to see who can answer the most
questions. whichever studies you
found most difficult last year are the
ones to work On now.
Think what a pleasant surprise for
your new teacher TO find you so well
prepared! And you will think the
first days of school much pleasanter
than usual. The new work will seem
very easy with last years learning
fresh In your mind.
This year hope every one of you
Is planning to make a special effort
10 keep your books and papers neat
and clean. There is still time enough
IN make a bag for books or a port
folio for written papers.
