History Repeats Itself

Not since range days have the
people seen such a bunch OF cattle as
the three and four year old steers
which were guarded here Wednesday
night. The stock yards were full and
a good many of bawling, lowing herd
were quartered outside. During the
night lot of the stubborn grass fed
steers got away and yesterday morn
ing the beligerants were rounded up
and started on the trail after the
big herd.
The herd of ], 400 steers were picked
up during the summer by John George
of this city, in Beaver and Texas
counties, Oklahoma and have been
grass fed this summer. They we're
sold to E. T. Anderson, of Burdick,
Kansas who is taking them to Gar
den City where they will be put on
full feed on beet sugar pulp which
is abundant in that part of the
state. The herd represented value
of over seventy-ive thousand dol

Sunshine, Ram and a Star

Sunshine, rain and a star all at the
same time? Yes 1t really was so in
Liberal last Saturday. OF course
the assertion may conflict with the
theory Of astronomers but it can be
proven all right. Not long ago the
people Of this vicinity were surprised
at the phenomana of seeing rain
bow at night and a few were dlsap-
pointed when some of the wise ones
said they had seen the extraordinary
occurrence before. But not many are
boasting about seeing the Saturday
wonder once in their lives before.
But they may from this time on II 1t

grocery keeps on selling Sunshine bis

Miss Stella Oakley, of Kansas City
has been here this week at the Star
demonstrating and when she began
last Saturday In the rein the Sun
shine, clouds and the Star were what
made the unusual occurrence. The
visitors to the store have all been
treated to biscuit and the Sunshine
pennants and explanations the lady
gave each one produced a smile al
most akin to that which made "Sun-
ny Jim" famous. Every person who
failed to get bit of Sunshine some
time in the week was unfortunate.

FARMERS ARE TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF WEATHER
Fear OF Late Spring Causes Many of
Them TO Start Flowing
Now

Farmers for the first time this year
are doing their spring blowing in De-
cember. Never before has the
weather man furnished the HOosier
farmer with a climate that would al
low him 10 prepare his ground for his
summers seed as early as the mid
die Of this month and many of ST.
Joseph cOunty's agriculturists have
taken the opportunity and already
have large fields ready for spring
crops.
Nearly every day last week and up
20 Monday night the farmer trudged
behind his pillow instead of pushing a
big snow pillow around as is his GUS
tom at this season. The threatening
rains. Monday night brought him to
the house with his fingers crossed,
fearing that he will not be able to
work again Tuesday.
In nearly every instance ST. JO-
seph county farmers have their corn
crop harvested and all their fall work
done preparatory to the cold winter
which was expected. Fearing that
severe meathAs may hold on next
spring. in every possible case they
took this opportunity TO get ready.
Reports from every quarter give
assurance that next year will yield a
bumper crop OF wheat. 1t is be-
lieved that the hard frosts have kept
the fly from working in the grain
and climatic conditions are favorable
in every respect.
