THE VANISHED COUNTRY.

Back in the Vanished Country
There's cabin in lane.
Across the yellow sunshine
And the silver of the rain;
\ cabin, summer-shaded
Where the naples whispered low
Dream stores of the world and wind.
That a fellow used to know;
And it's queer that, turning gray,
Still fellow looks away
To n land he knows has vanished
Down the path of yesterday.
Back in the Vanished Country
There's an old-timc, swinging gate
Through the early dusk of summer
Where IA girl has come to wait;
And her hair was like the sundrift
From the heart Of summer skies.
While the blue of Gods wide heaven
Crowned the splcndor of her eyes;
And it's queer that, turning gray,
Still a fellow looks away
To girl he knows has vanished
Down the path Of yesterday.
Back in the Vanished Country
There's dream that used to be
OF fame within the city
And a name beyond the sea;
A dream of laurel wreathinVs
That came singing through the light
The story of the glory
OF the victor in the fight;
And it's queer that, worn and gray,
Still fellow looks away
To dream the knows has vanished
Down the path of yesterday.

Comparative Receipts Table.

The past week might aptly be called
the banner period Of the year as far
as prices and quality of the cattle
offering was concerned. There were
more strictly prime bccvcs on sale
during the week than there were at
any period previous to this one.
Prices were the highest of the year
Strictly good steers were in demand
at all stages of the week and sold
on steady to strong basis. However,
the runs were liberal and toward the
middle Of the week medium grades
took downward trend and closed
about 10 to l5c lower, while common
grades were Is to 25c off and in
some cases more. Some l2O0-pound
steers AT S9S5 were top for the week
and also for the year. A generous
sprlnklinR of steers sold in a range
of 50 to 900
supply of hcifcrs was moderate
during the week and while several
lunches of prime quality were offered
the grade was only up to the average
There was II strong demand for good
quality hcifcrs and they sold on
strong, active basis at all times
Some mixed steers and hcifcrs at
$500, topped the butcher division and
several lunches cleared at SS.75 to
$50. Medium to good grades, how
ever, late in the week were slow
and closed about 10 to l5c lower.
while common, grass hciicrs were
10 to 25c off. Just Il moderate supply
of cows was offered and all grades
sold good to the middle of the week.
when buyers started hammcring me-
dunn classes with the result that
they declined 10 to l5c, and in places
more. Gamers and cutters were
10 to l5c lower. Bulls were in rather
generous supply and sold slow at
at Is to % declines. Calves were on
the upturn throughout the week and |
closed 80 to 75c higher, with top |
of Sl075. Stockers and feeders
showed signs of hrmncss during the
fore part Of the week, but later on
were draggy and closed about steady.
The same was true of stock cows and
hcifcrs.
Receipts in the quarantine division
were liberal in volume, and came most
" from Texas. There were some good
led steers on sale during the week,
but only a small offering of strictly |
good grasscrs was available. Triccs
held up well early in the period,
out as the runs continued liberal
medium grades developed losses and
'loscd Is to 2jc lower. Bulk of the
ed classes were steady. Some fed
steers sold at $3.50, new record for
he year, and others went at So to
$40, Bulk Of the best grasscrs sold

FEWER CATTLE MARKETED
THAN DURING LAST YEAR
Receipts at Kansas City Show q
Decided Shrinkage.

Kansas City, July 22.-Thus far
this year 100000 fewer cattle have
been marketed in Kansas City than
in the same period in 1913, the re-
ceipts being the smallest of any SINH
lar period in twenty years The de-
crease is attributed to the drouth in
the Southwest last summer.
Prices are the highest ever known
for this month. The demand now,
cattlemcn and meat packers say, must
be supplied mostly from grass-fed
cattle. Another crop of prime corn
fed becvcs cannot be made they say,
until the corn crop of 1914 is available
probably not sooner than the mid
die of November
If August prices for corn-fatted
steers are as much higher than the
July level as they were in 1912, next
month will see prime bceves, bring
ing Sll hundred pounds in Kansas
City. Bcevcs of the sort mentioned
sold here yesterday at 1855

open to him to cut the bonds that

Mr. Rockefeller's action is by indi-
rection a tribute to our Americanism.
There are knees which do not bend
that thrift may follow fawning. There
are minds not under the duress of
wealth. There are spirits which
spurn money that is the price of
qualification. Mr.. Rockefeller adj
mits that even his vast fortune can
not obstruct nor defect the lines of
thought. For all his power, the very
men who draw salaries from funds
he provided, refuse to take their
thought from him. Their souls are
their own, their spirits unbroken,
their minds free, and the right is
theirs to conscience freedom. Were
it otherwise, how soon would there
be pollution of the avenues of learn
ing, how soon mental stagnation, how
soon corruption and decay.

WILSON RIGHT ALL THE
WAY

Step by step. day by day. the wis
dom OF President Wilson in dealing
with every phase OF the Mexican sit
uation is being shown. The most re-
cent developments bearing on the cir
cumstances under which Huerta
gained his power. demonstrate that no
self-respecting nation conducted on the
principle that the people rule. could
recognize his title to the Office he
holds. So Wilson was right in his
stand in this respect.
The gloomy war prospects with the
federals and constitutionalists uniting
against the invading nation proves
that Wilson was more far sighted than
many OF his countrymen in resisting
the popular demand so long insisted
upon that the United States intervene.
and II was only when national honor
was at stake that he took drastic meas
ures regardless OF the consequences.
So Wilson has been right all the
way through. and the people OF the
United States through confidence and
faith in him. no less than through pa.
ulolC IMPULSE VIII see H4h al the
way through. II is a common country
here always when there are foes with
out, and il II is so to be in Mexico, the
United States will have to meet the
task.
President Wilson stands for peace
in all except the sacrifice of national
honor. He has dreaded the loss in
blood and treasure, and while he has
withstood the storm as long as it was
possible. the American people will
help him face it now.
