rived yesterday, some 1900 head. On
account of the heavy run here and at
Chicago the fat cattle market was
about steady, while on the general
run prices were 10@15c lower han
the close of last week. Desirable
fat COPS and heifers were generally
steady, but statesmen had to shade
prices more or less on the heavy cows
as well as on rough stock. Demand
wal broad for yea calves and prices
were firmly held, and there was a
good inquiry and a quotably steady
market for bulls, stays. etc. Fresh
receipts of stockers and feeders were
heavy, but trade opened out active and
fully steady for anything at all at
tractive. Stock and feeding cows and
heifers were in broad request and
quotably fully steady.

Anniversary Social.

Monday evening the local order
of Odd Fellows entertained at
their annual anniversary celebra-
ton. There were about 80 present
and all enjoyed a fine evening
The Odd Fellows and their wives
and the Rebekahs and husbands
were the guests with one or two
others, in the family. The pro-
gram was opened by Rev. Newport
followed by musical selections, by
several of the young lady members
of the Rebekahs, also a recitation
by Miss Inis Edwards, and a short
paper on the order and its work by
@. W. Scott, The singing and
the music by Miss Burnett, Miss
Ainsworth, Miss Doggett and Miss
Rose was greatly appreciated.
After the short program, the
people went to the dining room
and partook of a light lunch spread
for the occasion, by the sister Re-
bekahs, after which the balance
of the evening was filed in with
games and general good time.
This affair was not intended to
be very elaborate, but a little pleas
ant evening, in honor of the oc-
casion, and it proved to be all that
was intended. This was the Goth
anniversary of the founding of this
order in the United States, which
was founded in the city of Balti-
more, at the Seven Stars Inn.
The Odd Fellows order of today
was little conceived by the insti-
tuters in 1919. Today this order
leads the world in membership OF
over one-half million members, in
the United States alone, W. its
nearest order, and stands a leader
among all for benevolence, charity
and rank of morals. The order
here is growing regularly and
steadily.

day and the remains were taken
to Rawlins, and interment made
in the Rawlins cemetery Tuesday.
Mr.. Stockwell was an old timer,
having come to this valley years
ago. And settled on Pass creek,
where he took up a ranch, and
lived there up to a few years ago.
Some FIVE or six years ago he be-
came bothered considerable with
rheumatism, and part of the time
he has been almost helpless, and
has been up and down one time
and another, but for the past two
years he has been in hospitals
most of the time, until the end
He leaves a wife, and son George
and daughter, Mrs. Frank NUM-
besides a brother who resides Oh

other points, are now owned OF
controlled by the packers. 1t con.
nection with the ownership OF
those stockyards companies, the
same people have become interes-
ted and now own or control the
terminal facilities of the railroads
at many of these yards. They also
own rendering works and banks,
cattle loan companies, in some
cases market papers, and other
kindred interests, which, of course,
all tend to dominate the business
and control it from every stand
point. $3.50
Your committee believes that
the market question today is one
OF the most important ones before
US. We look with distrust at the
Capitalization of power above re-
ferred to, and we are disturbed,
because we realize that the COM
mission men of the markets, al
though belonging to a live stock
exchange organized for trade pro-
lection purposes, are more or less
helpless when confronted by the
power possessed by the buying
element. The popularity of sales
men who sell our cattle at market
depends largely on acquiescence
in the views of the buying inter-
ests, and when these interests DOM
mate all the facilities for prepar-
ing live stock for sale, control the
banks and loan companies that
finance the live stock business and
are represented on board of direc-
tors of railroads that haul the
business and the banks that handle
the loans and accounts of the COM
m~issionmen, the situation becomes
very complex and complicated ***
ut is very far away indeed from
the minds of your committee to
make any suggestion or recommen-
dation that could in any way hurt
the buying power of the packing
house interests, but we believe
they have gone outside of their
province, and we would call their
attention to what is going on be-
fore a condition arises that may
make serious complications and
bring about a disagaeeable climax
that possibly could not be ON
trolled by either party. ****
"Your committee has but few
recommendations to suggest. We
believe, however, that it would be
wise to arrange a conference as
soon as possible, to the end that
packing house interests may real
ize the position of the shippers as
regards these various matters.
The producers recognize the power
that is in the hands of the con-
solidated buying interest, and how
it is possible to domonate the mar
kets and everything connected
with them. They also recognize
the fact that, if this goes to far, it
will cause a decrease in the pro-
duction of live stock."-Stockman
Farmer.

t1rs VINO visit the State Fair at Pubclo
Sept. 13 to Is will wonder perhaps
who selects, assemblies and arranges

Is to COLLECT the display and he must
be thorough and brilliant diplomat
IN order to retain his friends in the
community after he has rejected MANY
offerings and selected for the fair,
those which seem to his judgement
most fitted to represent cre.litably
the district which sends them. After
MS work is done and his county has
won the prize. he must be ready to
pass the credit and the prizes to the
growers.
The keen mind and splendid judg-
ment that assembled the display gains
no fame, receives no reward.
The winners names and their crops
or stock become famous, but the pa
tiont collector stays in the background
until he is wanted for the next fair.

men from various counties who will
collect displays for the state fair this
year Every one of them is a man
who is wiilin.; to give lot to help his
community, even though he gets moth
ing in return, r. S. Shahan of Ala

Rev. Bretnall preached very in

sermon, the fnial af series Of four
on last Sunday morning. He took for
the basis the sermon the recent state
ment OF John r. Mott on the posSibil-

the number Of people to be reached,
the growth of the missionary move
ment, with coiored charts the relative
amount of money that is spent each

Missions, chewing gum, millinery, con-
dictionary, church work at home, to-

missions while We spend 2 billion
dollars for liquor and 3 billion dollars
on immortality and social disease.
