SOCIAL RECIPROCITY BETWEEN
TOWN AND COUNTRY.

In most localities the social circles
of town and country are widely sep
arated. Unless among relatives, In
vitations back and forth are neither
freely given nor accepted. When the
two elements are by any chance min
gled, there is an air of restraint that
effectually spoils all enjoyment for
both. Neither class is wholly to blame
for this condition of affairs. 1t is the
fault Of the differences in pursuits,
tastes and surroundings. But it is a
decided loss for both that this state
of things is allowed to continue. Eaci
could profit very signally from the So
ciety of the other, if these silly bar
riers could be broken down.
1t must be confessed that much of
this lack of unity springs from the
super-sensitiveness of rural men and
women. People who are much alone
naturally grow out of the ways of the
world little, and are apt to eXagger-
ate the significance of the manner of
others to themselves. In this way
many sights are fancied that were
never meant at all. Those who live
in town, being more accustomed to-
seeing every side of life, see the phil
osophy of taking things as they come,
and extracting the maximum of en-
joyment from everything. 1t is not,
however, a foregone conclusion that
this mode of living makes them self
centered, or lessons their feeling for
others. On the contrary, it often leads
to a truer estimate of the relative
value of things than could be had by
keeping aloof from the moving world
about them
A good old Scotch lady, when ask
ed whether she did not feel lonesome
in her new American home, replied
"No no! That wad be just nonsense.
Folks is folks anywhere ye find them,
and there's as mony here as on the
yon side o. the sea-" That is the
true social philosophy" folks is
folks, anywhere you find them" A
good heart loses nothing by being set
among the woods and hills any more
than if found in a city mansion. Its
value is sure to be recognized by 9th
ers Of kindred quality, and the foun-
dation of a true friendship is laid by
that recognition.
Sheer at it as we may, the matter
of dress is a great factor in social
economics. 1t is not always convent |
ent for busy farmer to "dress up"
when he goes to town on an errand, |
and, when he comes in contact with |
the neatly-clad business men of the |
place he naturally feels that his at
tire places him at a disadvantage
among them. He does not stop to con-
slider that those same men would
hdrdly be in business if they had no
more sense than to Judge a man by his
clothes. Most of them have no time
to spend on the criticism of clothes
worn by those with whom they deal.
OF course, it is only matter of self
respect that a farmer, as well as any
one else, should be dressed neatly
when he is away from home; but that
does not mean that he is to consider
himself on dress parade the minute he
reaches town.
On the other hand. the woman who
is invited to spend week in the
country is often at a loss what to take
% wear while there. If she dresses
90 daintily, she feels as though she
we're out of place in the woods and
ields she loves to roam among. If

THE DENVER FEEDER MARKET

Reports from the Denver stock
yards indicate that this will be one
of hte most important feeder mar
kets during the coming fall and win
ter. This applies to both cattle and
sheep. A number of sections west
of the Rockies have had a dry sea-
son and while the early rains made
good grass later conditions are such
that shipments will be close. A very
much larger proportion OF this stock
will market In Denver than ever be-
fore. The run of feeder cattle will
start about the middle of September
while the sheep will move nearly a
month later. Quite a large number
OF the cattle will be held for the an
nual National Western Stock Show,
which will be held during the week
of January 1922. This event will
mark the close of the feeder cattle
season in the west

We cling to the conviction that

In reading reports Of court pro-
ceedings one finds that q good deal
OF stress is laid upon rules OF evil

mony is excluded that is felt by coun-
sci to have direct and important
bearing upon the matter in hand,
and he is better prepared than any
one else to know whether 1t has such
bearing.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Septem-
Der 6, 1915.-A supply of $1,000 cattle
here today surprised the trade, as
several thousand more than that num-
Der had been expected. The reason
for the decrease in the receipts was
partly the Labor Day holiday today,
although this was not effective at the
stock yards, but mostly because Kan
sas cattle shippers did not like the
weakness on grass steers last week.
Cattle shippers are Independent this
year, plenty of feed in the country
and money easy. The result of the
smaller supply today was stronger
prices on best grades of killers and
on stockers and feeders, medium
grades of fat cattle steady. Corn fed
cattle brought $1,000 today, highest
price in six weeks. Shipments to
country points last week amounted to
$4,000 head, practically 500 of the
total supply, and this demand will be
a permanent fixture here through the
fall months. A shipment of 20 cars
of western slope Colorado cattle is
here today, beef steers lacking little
in flesh, weights 1140 to 1900 lbs,
horned steers at $500, dehorned ST.,
two cars of feeders included, 1000 lbs,
at 81. There is a fair sprinkling of
Panhandle cattle, including yearlings
and breeding heifers at strong prices
A drove of Panhandle yearlings top
ped the stocker market last week at
$685., a string of white face heifers,
bred to thoroughbred bulls, brought
$3.50, and some white face calves
weighing 500 lbs. brought S8.40 to-
day. Thirty cars of Oregon beef
steers, around 1910 lbs, sold at SITS
first of last week, none here since
Sheep receipts were small last week
after Monday, but the market on fat
lambs declined 25 to 40 cents, feeders
holding steady. Receipts today are
10000 head, market lower on killing
lambs, 10 higher on feeders. Most of
the killing lambs sold at $3.50 and
$685. today, including consignments
from both Utah and Idaho, nothing
here from Arizona today. Feeding
lambs sold at $S.40 and ss.45, a five
car drove of sixty pound Utahs at the

latter price. A shipment of Montana
breeding ewes arrived today, and sold
at 1928 to $6.25. Country demand is
very strong here, but packers have
been making light sorts, because of
the moderate receipts, several lots of
top lambs selling straight today.
However, country buyers secured 40%
of the total supply here last week,
and the demand is growing stronger
each week, the fact that Chicago is
closed to country trade this year

states to Kansas City and the other
markets in the West.
