Sheepmen Ask for Relief

A meeting of the Advisory Board
and Executive committee of the Ari-
IONA Wool Growers Association was
held Monday with Forest Supervis-
ors Guthrie of the Coconino Forest,
Chad Hinderer of the Prescott Ma
tional Forest for the purpose of secur-
ing relief for the sheepmen who have
to take sheep over the Mud Tank
sheep trail. The sheepmen complain
that last year over 100000 head of
sheep used the trail and among that
number were great many sheep
from New Mexico and others who do
not Craze on the national forests. The
trail is nearly ninety miles in length
and sheep men claim it is impossible
to bring their sheep and lambs over
it under such conditions and have
them in any reasonable condition
when they reach the ranges at the
end Of the trail. 1t was understood
that the Forest Officers would recon-
mend that the number of sheep al
lowed to use the trail hereafter, be
limited to reasonable number, in
justice to the local sheep owners.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 26,
1916.-The course in cattle prices
most of last week was downward. Re-
ceipts were liberal, quality showed
palmer case and killers increased the
spread in prices accordingly. Prime
grades held steady, and short fed and
grass fat steers were off 25 to 35
cents. This decline caused falling
off in the movement today, and mode
rate strength appeared in the trade.
Here receipts were 5000 less, than a
week ago, and the same as year ago.
Most of the grass fat and short steers
sold at $S.25 to $3.50, and better grad
es brought $9.75 to $1,000. Nothing
strictly prime was offered. On the
quarantine side, steers sold at Sc to
$9.15. With wheat harvest well un-
der way in Southern Kansas, and
spreading northward, and Tuesday of
next week, national holiday, com
mission men say supplies will be
small until nearly the middle of July.
Cows and heifers have not changed
much in price and today they were in
active demand. Veal calves are
bringing 81 to $11, and bulls SIS to So.
This is the slack season for stock and
feeding cattle, but the few offered are
finding a ready outlet at $7.25 to
$3.50.

After advancing 25 to 80 cents last
weeks hog prices declined moderate

were within five cents of the highest
point last week. The top price today
was 1895 and the bulk of the hogs
sold at 1855 to s995. Considering
the liberal receipts the market is un-

70 SEQ this comedy is like being Civ
en- a peep into the privacy OF our
neighbor's homes and one almost feels
that he is intruding, or eavesdrop-
ping-looking through the keyhole. OF
he window shutters.
The comedy is a pungent satire on
the pretty hum-drum existence we
live. and our neighbors live-just hui
man life. Ii was Frenchman who
became so discouraged with life, be.
cause he said it was going to bed and
getting up, just buttoning and un-
buttoning. The story Of Indiana
Home Folks" is told IN the things
We do, and the things we say every
day. The two characters who break
from the bounds OF conventionality-
the man and the stand out
from the others like a beacon light.
The play is clean, and wholesome
