SCHOOL NOTICE TO PARENTS

There have been quite a few un-
necessary absences this fall in the
grades and especially in the high
school, and this has handicapped the
teachers considerably in carrying on
the work. Hereafter, no pupil will
be permitted to make up work which
has been missed because of absence,
unless it can be shown that the alb
sence was caused by sickness. 1t is
hoped that parents will make every
effort to keep pupils in school every
day. Absences cause failure in work,
probably more so than any other one
thing.

FIRST GAME SATURDAY

The first foot ball game of the sea-
son to be participated in by the Aud
ubon high school team will be played
in Atlantic tomorrow afternoon.
Coach Leo Novak has worked hard
to whip a good fast team in shape
for this game. However, the mater
ial available this year is inexperisn-
ced, and most of the members are
very light. Mr. Novak, who was
captain last year of Goes fast and
champion foot ball team, is a very
good coach, and the boys are learn
ing much football under his efficient
teaching. Several other games will
be scheduled, and return game will
be played on the local grounds here
with Atlantic later in the season.

On current basis of values all such
steers as took 1O,25@10.7o last Monday
are now quotable at 9.50@10.00, and it
is doubtful If a prime drove could land
much above 1860. Cattle that took

in force for steers Of plain and medium

stuff being anywhere from 40 to Is
cents lower than last week.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were inactive.
Receipts here and in the aggregate
at western markets this week have
been the largest of the year to date.
Chicago has had over 100000 head, or
nearly 5000 more than last week and
the six leading western markets a
combined supply Of about $4,000, or
$4,000 more than last week. A broad
feeder demand and increased quota of
feeder stock in the run has swelled
outgoing shipments materially, Chi
cago having sent out around 1900

country for feeding and breeding pur-
poses. This is the largest weeks ship
ment from Chicago since December,
1914. .-
With hot weather east curtailing
consumptive demand and supplies at
western markets fairly liberal, killers
have been able to depress prices for
fat classes sharply, despite the more
liberal percentage of feeders in the
supply here and at river markets,
and the broad demand for the latter.
At the close native lambs show de-
clineS Of rs cents to 100 from a week
ago, while fat range lambs are closing
about 60 cents under a week ago and
fat yearlings show 50@65 cents de-
clines. Range wethers have been set
back % 40 cents and native ewes fully
% cents. Feeding and breeding sheeL,
however. have held up well. some goon
breeding ewes making the best prices
of the season, while feeding lambs, thu
closing 10@15 cents below the weeks
high spot, are about 1905 cents high
er than a week ago and have sold dur
ing the week at record prices, the bulk
going at 9.a0@1O.15. with several loads
up to 1925 on the high spot.
