Iraw If those Interested do not let i,

these days Of telephones there is no
excuse ard those who have items Of
news have no RIGHT to blame their
correspondent II the news items are
not in the local column. The excuse,
as given by several last week, that we

We certainly can not think for them
and then to have them lay the blame
ON us ii no only unjust and discourage

ceNe a public Call Down because
one fails to send in some past and
coming events Of which no report had
been given. is enough to cause a very
unpleasant feeling, and this actually
occurred short time ago. Do the
public realize that in most cases, the
correspondent for a county paper re-
ceives little or no pay and what he
does is simply for the benefit of his
town or village? You ask Why do
correspondents 40 it then? We will
tell you. Because they believe in their
home locality and desire to let the
outside world know about it and what
is going on in it. In other words they
are trying to do their share to
BOOST" it and help it to grow. Then
again they know Of you do not) that
there are number of men and
women who formerly lived in the home
locality and who take the county
paper just to get the HOME NEWS.

help the local correspondent as you
certainly can by giving items when

The following report Of the trcasur-

interest TO our Dorset readers. This
work was started in July 1914 by a
few ladies who felt that our greens
should be kept up to the standard Of
other years and the money to date has
been raised since the first subscrip-
tons by entertainments given b. the
Young people. As will be seen the
balance on hand will not be enough to
pay for the work Of the up keep for
the full season. Shall it be allowed
to stop for lack of funds, or will our
people see that it is kept going?

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Feb. 23.-Cattle re-
ceipts were of fair proportions for a
Tuesday. some 100 cars or $500 head
as against 1884 a week ago and 1929
the corresponding day a year ago.
Tone to the entire cattle trade con
tinued strong and changes for the
day We're in the way of betterment,
market on both killers and stockers
and feeders being quoted as a full
dime higher than on yesterday.
Higher prices reported at other
centers for porkers created a strong
er feeling in trade circles, but sellers
were asking too much advance. and
buyers refused to do much during the
early hours. Shipping demand was
light, and this proved a handicap 20
sellers in getting the same advance
noted at other centers. In a general
way the market worked out on a Toe
higher basis. Top. $685.; bulk OF
sales. $3.50 QS.15.
Sheep and lambs sold on a strong
basis today. Best lambs sold al
$1,000, while best yearlings brought
$3.50.
