STEERS SELL WE'LL
Mississippi and Arkansas Patrons
Pleased With Prices
Today.

East st. Louis, Ill.,, Dec. Sisters
out of Gamer territory played an i'm
portant part in the days market on
the quarantine side today. Several
! punches were received mostly out of
Mississippi and Arkansas.
u. C. Rhew, of White County, Ark
ansas, marketed consignment of
steers which topped the market for
the day. The bunch aggregated 70
; head, averaging 81 lbs, and sold to
Swift and Co., for 500. Mr.. Rhew
stated to representative of the Re-
porter that he had fed the steers on
cottonsed meal and bulls for about
go days. The steers were all Arkan-
sas bred cattle. According to him, his
community is Kidding itself of the
fever tick and will be out of quaran-
tine in q short time. "In the low
lands, the tick is practically eXtermi-
nated,' he said, land while there are
a few found on the uplands, their
numbers are fast diminishing ana we
hope to be entirely fire. Of them before
very long,"
A. r. Harmon, also of White
County, Arkansas, marketed two
lunches OF steers, one of which sold
to Swift and Co., for $3.50 and the
other went to an out-of-town packer
for $500. Mr.. Harmon stated that he
had fed his steers for about SO days on
cottonseed meal and hulls. Mr.. Har-
mon is a native of Illinois, and his
uncle, DR.. John Harmon is President
of McKendree College, at Lebanon.
ILL.,, Mr.. Harmon was attracted to
Arkansas by the many agricultural
and stock raising and feeding posi-
bilities the state holds forth. He
stated that much was being done to-
ward improving the breed of cattle in
his state.
F. l.. Hogan, a well-known patron
of st. Louis, who ships from Oktibbeha
County, Miss, marketed 81 steers,
averaging $40 lbs, which sold to
Armour & Co., for $3.50, and two
punches of lighter weight which were
taken by the same packer for $6.25.
According to Mr.. Hogan, the steers
were conditioned for about 60 days
on ration of cottonseed meal. Mr..
Hogan is quite an extensive feeder,
and a good friend of st. Louis.

Realizing that William Il. McCombs,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, would endeavor to have

Immediately following the state con-
Ventlon or previous to that gather
Ing, which ever will be most con-
venient to the country's chief ex-
ecutive.
Mr.. McCombs announced Saturday
when passing through Pine Bluff
that he would endeavor to induce
president Wilson to attend the state
Democratic convention, and that an
nouncement has created a great deal
OF interest in members oil ere party
throughout Arkansas.
McCOmbs or Wilson
II do not know whether it will be
possible to get President Wilson to
pay Hot Springs visit" said Secre-
tary Bedding, "but l shall certainly
try to have MIR. McCombs impress
upon President Wilson this feature
of his trip to Arkansas. l hope that
he will be able to attend the state
Democratic convention, and / trust
that we may receive word later that
1t will be possible for the President
to come to Hot Springs. I feel sure
that he would relish a trip OF this
nature. and l know that it would be
ofnsgNif inestimable benefit to Hot
Springs"
This proposition was discussed
among those who were at the Bus
mess Mems League this morning,
and it was agreed that in the event
the President decided to come to this
city "a special train carrying a COM
,mittee of citizens could easily be
procured to bring him from Pine
Bluff to Hot Springs. 1t is the in
tention of the Business Mems
League to discuss this subject att

the office boy had set out to become

STAGE ILLUSIONS.

Nothing is SO deceptive as the stage

man makes such repasts appear de
llcIously appetizing.
A favorite stage substitute for mea'
Is sponge cake, which cut into tht
shape of outlets or steaks and judi

a most genuine appearance. The ad
vantage of such material Is that 1t IL
easy for the actors to consume anc
does not present any difficulties to the
carver.
Outlets composed Of SGT toast arc
also popular In stage culinary circles
and when decorated with dainty paper
frills and parsley look quite the real
thing
Do not let your mouth water at the
sight Of those dainty slices of ham re-
posing on lettuce leaves on the baron's
festive board. Ham ia invariably rep
resented on the stage by strips of limo
Ieum, the reddish under side Of which
makes a convincing substitute for the
real article. AS to the surrounding let

hEREAOI OONE
Mr.. Taft, when he was in the White
House, rever overlooked an OPP
portunity for joke. In the closing
months Of his administration Henry
L. Stimson, then secretary of war,
wrote Mr. Taft a very urgent re-
quest that he give a friend Of Slim
son certain Federal position.
Mr.. Taft wrote to Stimson as fol-
lows:
my Dear Stimson-I am sorry
cannot do anything for your friend
in response to your letter of today.
l would like to accommodate you, but
it is impossible. Sincerely yours,
William H. Taft"
Under this he wrote:
Turn over"
Then Mr.. Stimson read on the
other side of the paper:
