DRAG THE ROADS

When the smiles of spring appear, Drag the roads; When the summer time is here, Drag the roads; When the corn is in the ear, In the winter cold and drear, Every season of the year,
 Drag the roads. When you've nothing else to do,
 Drag the roads; If but an hour or two,
 Drag the roads; It will keep them good as new; With purpose firm and true, Fall in line; it's up to you

 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 16, 1917.--Cattle receipts of ,13,000 sold mostly steady today, some steer sales 10 lower, top $12.75. Hog receipts were 12,000, market steady early, but 10 lower at the close, top $16.25. Sheep and lambs sold steady to strong, with some haggling over prices, re- ceipts 5000, top lambs $15.60.
 Beef Cattle Sold Steady
 Kansas native steers sold at $12.85 and two loads of choice pulp fed westerners brought $12.75. These top cattle sold steady. Middle grades of native steers were 10 lower, sales from $1O.5O to $12.25, light weight silage fed steers $8,75 to $10.25, Whatever weakness there was on steers today was due to the fact that Chicago had good run both last Wednesday adn today, with some soft spots in the market. The general situation is strong, and advances are scheduled, especially on top grades. Cows and butcher grades sold steady today, with good cows at $9 to $1O.75 lower grades of cows and canners downward to s6.50. Bulls bring $S.5O to 5000, veal calves up to $18
 Stockers and Feeders Regain
 Feeders sold up to $11.15 last week, and stock steers to $10.30, all of the decline of the week before hav- ing been regained. The market is steady today, with most of the stock steers selling at SS.25 and upwards, feeders $9.50. During the first half of April this year 26,000 stockers and feeders went to the country from here, 5000 more than same days last year.
 Arbitrary Hog Prices
 For nearly week packers have used every effort to depress prices, but the top today was $16.25, only cents un- der the highest point reached so far this year, paid last Thursday. Ship CTS made the early market, paying up to S16.25, but-packers held out, and bought their hogs 10 lower, at S16.15 and downwards. Medium weights sold up to S16.15 light, s15.90, bulk of sales S15.70 to $16.15. It is be- lieved that the packers position is arbitrary ,and that the. market will make some strong advances in the near future, although it is likely that the government will stop the advance within reasonable limits. Sheep and Lambs Sell High
 Lambs sold up to S15.60, not quite top. quality. mostly of the good lambs around s15.50, clipped lambs about s under wool skins, yearlings worth ur to $14.25, wethers s13.25, ewes s13 clipped Angora brusher goats sell ur to $7.50, fat ones $S, unclipped An. gora to killers up to So; slick haired goats S6.50 and upwards. Receipts will run light here for a month or si, weeks, and the .market should rule strong.

Fletch By, the extemporaneous burgomeister of Bellemont, was in Flagstaff last Saturday on his way to the south to look after a wool ship ment that his sheep had left there a short time ago. He is advertising Bellemont as a great summer resort for sheep, but really is convinced that there is no pressing need for any more bands on his range. His prec- inct has never attained the distinc- tion of having been "thrown out" be- cause of too many sheep having vot- ed.
