 Kansas City Stock Yards. Oct. a7,aIoI3. Continued heavy cattle liquidation last week forced val ues 10 to 30 cents lower on every thing but the best corn fed ani- mals. Country buying was heavy, s5, 900 head, but it ran more to stock grades t an heretofore. Choice fed steers advanced 10. to Is cents last week, and best cows, heifers and yearlings held steady. The run of 23,ooo cattle here today could be handled at steady prices were it not for supply of 34 1000 head at Chicago, and 10 to 20 break there. Best e d steers are selling steady, tops at So. 20, and other cattle are steady to TO lower. Some stock cattle and butcher grades have arrived at Buffalo, and a few trains of Western Canada rangers at Chi cago. Beef cattle prices at To- ronto have advanced to a parity with Buffalo, and there is no in- centive for shipping beef steers across the border. Such Argen- tine beef as has arrived in this country is middle and low class, corresponding to that which comes from American steers selling at $7. % or less. Kansas grass steers sold in Chicago last week for less than the Kansas City bid on them, for the reason that Chicago killers claim Kansas cattle, which have been fattened on other than corn ration, produce dark col ored meat, which is discounted at eastern outlets for Chicago beef. The word has been passed along to stop Kansas cattle at Kansas City, as the southern outlet served from here does not object to the dark colored meat. Colorado cat tie are coming freely, good native Colorados selling at S6.75 to S7.25, Arizonas and other foreign cattle grazed in Colorado selling at S6. 10 to $6.6o, Colorado cows $. so to $7.oo. Panhandle year lings sell at $6. 50 to S7.5o, cows s4. 40 to S5.75, heifers up to s6. 50, calves 5000 to $8.5o. Quaran- tine offerings are largely low grade, grass steers selling at S. so to S6. 50, and cows at S4. 50 to S5. Go.
 Hogs received some hard knocks last week, which are said to be due about this season regardless of supply and demand conditions. Receipts are running a little be- hind year ago, and weights are light, I8o pounds average last week. The market is higher today, top S7.oo, bulk s7.45 to S7.8o.
 Sheep and lambs have sold strong every day for week, and are 10 to IS higher today, TUT 2I ,ooo. Some Colorado lambs brought SIPS and choice ones would do better than that. Ewes are worth up to $4.35, yearling: $5. 50, feeding lambs $500 tc S6.I5. Demand from all sources is strong, and if the expectation of lighter receipts ahead is real ized, strong markets should rule

WILL LECTURE FOR BENEFIT PUBLIC HEALTH

HS puDiiS HSditu iSStuiCo BiNSh under the auspices of the Uni versity of Aizona, the Arizona Medical Association and | h e American Medical Association will begin in the week of Nov. I7th. These lectures are the result ot proposition made by the Uni versity at the Bisbee meeting of the association in IoI2. Dr. Wilde, president of the University, had been invited by the associa- ton to attend the meeting, and present a paper, and in connec- ton with the paper, took the occasion to request the good will of the association for the Uni, versity, and its cooperation in public service.
 The Medical association took the suggestion seriously, and ap- pointed a committee to confer with the president of the Uni- yersity on means and methods of cooperation. After considerable correspondence and several con- ferences, it was decided to offer the public a series of health lectures to be given in, such cities and towns of the state as the available funds would permit. The lectures were to have been given in the early spring of 1913, but they were postponed several times on account of the outbreak of meningitis in Bisbee, Tucson and Phoenix.
 The lectures are to be given in the following towns of the state, with perhaps one or two more, If it is possible to include them: Douglas, Nov. I7th.
 Bisbee, Nov. 18th.
 Tucson, Nov. roth.
 Phoenix, Nov. 2oth. Prescott, Nov. 2Ist.
 Jerome, Nov. 2Ist.
 Williams, Nov. 22nd.
 Winslow, Nov. 22nd. Flagstaff, Nov. 23rd. Kingman, Nov. 24th.
 It was desired to include many other towns but the length of the side trips and then limitation of funds prevented.
 The plan of the work is to have morning session with the school children assembled, at which one or more of the speakers will ad- dress them on the elementary principles of personal and public hygeine. In the afternoon other speakers will meet the women's clubs, and invite their interest and cooperation in public health and municipal cleanliness. In the evening a public mass meet ing will be held to reach as many of the general public as possible.
 Attempt will be made to have the city observe Public Health Day" for cleaning up the streets and alleys, and in general to "clean up and keep we'll"
 Dr. Meserve, the state chemist, and the professor of the bacteri- ology of the University, will speak at nearly every town on the trip. One or two representatives of the American Medical Association, varying with the place, and two members of the Arizona Medical Association will. be the other speakers.
 The expenses of the trip are reduced to minimum, since the Arizona doctors contribute their services, and the American men, one coming from Texas and the other from California, have all their expenses paid by the Ma tional Association. The citizens of Arizona have the benefit oi stimulating and informing ad' dresses, at almost no cost tc

A Really Great Lecturer.

The next number in the Academy
lecture course is lecture by John
Merritt Driver. preacher, author, lee
turer, and composer, in Seaver's hall
Monday evening next. His subject
deals with the Anglo-Saxon race and
the future. Dr. Driver has few
superiors on the lecture platform to-
day and his books easily place him
among the foremost thinkers of the
times. He has travelled in every Euro :
pean country and many other lands
and not only knows the world, its
people and it's tendency, but has the
gift of wit, humor and pathos. These
things combined with a broad mind
have placed DR.. Driver among the
most sought after lecturers of the
day. He is often slated as the star
attraction in entertainment courses.
1t is urged that everyone talk this
lecture to their friends and give Dr.
Driver large audience and at the
same time encourage the students who
are putting SO much time and energy
into this work hoping to realize some
thing for their piano fui I.
