WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
ON FIRM FOOTING

United States Food Admin istrator states, "there is no foundation for any statement that 1 have intention to fix pri- ces of beef and pork products. This relieves the uncertain conditions and places breeders and feeders of live stock on a sound basis.
 Moderate runs of cattle the first three days this week, 5O-' 900, caused a sharp upturn on killing cattle and netted advan- ces of 25 to soc. Yearling and two year old steers shared lib- erally in the raise, as did COWS, heifers and calfs, all 25 to 40c higher than last week.
 Our own sales include, Paul Meier, Kit Carson, Colo., steers avg 989tb at $50 and COWS avg 932fb at 6.85; w. J. Richards, Kit Carson, Colo, COWS 7.50 avg. 895fb and canners and cutters 600 to 6.85.

 The farmer who selects his own seed, so as to harness up heredity, assures himself a larger yield and a better pro- duct without any greater ex- pense for cultivation, fertiliza- tion or irrigation. The mere look of a seed is not the real test-the question is, did il come from a plant which yield

ed a large crop, excellent in quality.
 Seed selection is particular ly easy in the case of Indian corn, but it should be practiced also by farmers of Arizona for potatoes, grains, the annual forage crops, and for all the vegetables.
 The farmer who does not se- lect and grow his own seed is neglecting a modern agricul- tural method of tremendous importance.
 The only plants fitted to be the mothers of next years crop are the plants which are the best in the field or garden, strong, healthy, and heavy. yielding.

ASK FOR A QUARTER
OUNCE OF FREEZONE
Any corn will dry up and lift out,
says a Cincinnati
authority.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness. and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is said to simply shriVel up the
corn without infaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an
ounce obtained at any drug store will
cost very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet. Cut this out, espe-
cially if you are a woman reader who
wears high heels.

electricity as load it is pulling
For instance a 100 horse power
motor pulling so horsepower
would only take so horsepower
of electricity and so on. The
nice thing about this is that you
can pull 100 horsepower if you
want to but you do not have to
ray for 100 horsepower OF cur
