Art Exhibition
Proves a Success

The art exhibition and enter
tainment given at the High School
Auditorium Wednesday evening
was a decided success. There
was a large crowd in attendance,
the auditorium being comfort
ably filled. The program was
much enjoyed and after this part
of the entertainment was over the
audience repaired to the different
class rooms to view the art ex-
hibit.
The exhibit was fully up to the
standard claimed for it and con-
sisted for the most part of crayOn
reproductions of the MASTER
pieces of art. There were on
display reproductions of all the
world famous pictures, to see the
originals of which would require
a visit TO all of the famous art
galleries of the United States and
Europe.
A second entertainment was
given last evening and there will
be another tonight and again on
Saturday night. The program is
changed at each of these enter
tainments and is of itself we'll
worth the admission price, which
is fifteen cents Cor both the en-
tertainment and the art exhibi-
ton.

Boys Ate Grasshopper Poison

Clarence Favorite, age ten, the son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Favorite. and Ray
the young son OF Mrs. George Kendriek.
thot they were eating harmless bran one
day last week. The bran turned out to
be mixture of grasshopper poison, how
ever. The Favorite lad was quite sick
for a time, and was rushed to Pueblo for
treatment. He recovered. The other
boy apparently had not partaken so free
ly of the poison. and was only slightly
sick. Both boys were forced to masticats
a chew of tobacco as soon as the fact
became known that they had eaten the
poison mixture. The tobacco OF course
made them quite sick-and had the de-
sired effect. 1t relieved their stomaehs
of the hurtful bran. 1t also left them
with a lasting impression of what tobacco
tastes like, and it is safe to say they will
never form an appetite either for poison
ed bran or tobacoo.-Fower Tribune.

MARKET REPORT

Central States in the Market for
Cattle-IIoes and Sheep Strong
Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug a.
The mean close of the cattle market last
week discouraged loading for today and
Kansas shippers managed to hold off for
a while longer. Rains today helped the
Kansas situation. Texas and Oklahoma
turned loose pretty freely, and the total
run today Is 81 900 head. Weighty beef
steers sold 10 to is higher. including
there was some call for feeders: other
wise, it was steady market. Iowa. and
illinois got good rains last week. and a
great many buyers came in this morning
from those states. Demand for stoekers
was good, at s6.25 to $500. and there
was a better demand for feeders than
heretofore. heavy feeders selling up to
SO. AS, grass steers weighing 1880 lbs.
to feeder buyers around $3.50. illinois
has considerable old corn. and recent
rains have made holders willing to sell it
to cattle feeders, hence a stronger de-
mand for feeding steers.
Thursday was the high day on hogs,
top reaching Slo.5zz. and from that
point the market has dropped to SOLO
for tops today. light hogs leading. med
ium weights Sl0.o5. heavies 50 95. bulk

demand from bacon curers and fresh
meat handlers. added to a tendency of
the export trade to make further in
creases. account for the recent high
markets, and the only thing that keeps
prices from staying up, or climbing high

least portion of their needs. The stu
alton is very strong.

mutton cost must be reduced. and prices

VALLEY LEAGUE BUSTED
Pueblo Unable to Support Team
and Drops Out

Pueblo Unable to Support Team
and Drops Out
After trying to break into the Ar
kansas Valley League since its organi-
zation. Pueblo soon discovered that the
pace was too fast for them and last
week notified the league officials that
they would have to drop out. When
Pueblo joined the league they failed to
put up the forfeit as required of the
other teams, they failed to pay their
assessment for the support of the UNI
pires and incidentally reversed the
phone charges when they notified La
Junta of their retirement from the
league-thus they had nothing to lose
financially but their actions showed
them to be cheap sports.
When this word was received La
Junta at once paid off their players and
gave them their release and the Arkan-
sas Valley league is numbered among
the dead.
As was expected, the interest in the
league grew very weak when Rocky
Ford and Las Animas quit and its de-
mise was not unexpected. The league
was healthy youngster at its birth
and things ran smoothly for a couple of
seasons, but each year the teams have
grown faster and, as there was no
salary limit, the towns have spent
more money for their players until they
reached the point where they could not
meet the expenses.
Plans should be formulated at once
for the reorganization of the league on
more conservative basis and limit
placed on the number of salaried play
ers. All of the towns can furnish
enough players with the addition of a
couple of players from the outside to
form teams that will play more inter-
esting games than where all of the
players are imported.
Baseball Notes
The best thing about the breaking up
of the A. v. league is the valley will get
rid Of Umpires Roth and Mcdonald.

Jason C. Moore, who entered into a
contract with the state for the develop

a period that has Just expired. Moore
asked the state if he could still protect
his contract, even though the time
limit had been passed. The board de
cided that if the payment is made at
once it will consider the contract still
binding. Should the money not be
forthcoming and the contract becomes
void a first payment of $4,000 is for.

good chance to be successful. 1t
certainly deserves to be, for the old
house is in bad state Of disrepair and
no amount of patching would ever
make it anything more than Just an
old shack. 1t is to be hoped that ev-
