WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
K. c. Mo, Aug. p, 191

K. c. Mo-, Aug. 22, 1917
 The Governments corn re- port showed the largest crop of corn in prospect ever raised in the United States, ,OOO,- 900 bushels and recent rains have undoubtedly increased this estimate.
 Rains throughout the coun- try have made pastures good, and with the worlds supply of cattle short 115 million head, it is reasonable to forecast an unprecedented demand for cat tie this fall.
 A too rapid advance brought a large number of cattle to the five leading markets and prices reacted as a result this week, 57,000 in three days. Normal marketing of cattle will insure good strong markets. Cattle as yet have not taken the ad- vance of hogs or sheep.
 It is our good fortune to be in a position to render unexcel- led service and sales. Few range cattle are coming in as yet but as the season advances our sales will be sent you each week.
 Sheep
 Fat lambs, top 1925. Ewes, top 1000 Wethers, top 1000. Market today strong.

There's new use for Uncle Sans
parcel post. Suburbanites have dis
covered it, to the delight of their city
friends. It's sending posies from the

Flowers may be sent as far as the
fourth zone without parting with their
fragrance or freshness on the journey,
provided they are correctly packed.
But not all flowers are good travellers.
There is little use in trying to share
the beauty of bed of poppies, cannas,
moonflowers or others of like texture,
with distant friends. Roses are rath-
or delicate to send on long trips. But
II they are picked when only partial
ly blown and kept in cool water until
the petals and stems are full, they will
not wilt badly and will revive readily
at the end of the journey.

coIorado's oiI-Bearins shaIes.

The geological survey estimates the
oil content of the oil-benring shales Of
the state of Colorado alone at 100000
100000 barrels. Several contiguous
states contain great quantities of oil
shales. These shales are clay-lilSe
soils saturated with petroleum. The
recovery of the oil is too costly a
process to be profitable at present,
but If gasoline goes much higher It
will be possible to work them, and
thus throw open an immense new
source of oil. They will thus act as a
check to prevent the price Of gasoline
from soaring past certain high point
The possibility of discovering process
of extracting oil more cheaply from
the shales is also worth consideration,

lRISHMEM IN COMMON BOND
Writer Sees Peculiar Opportunity for
Commonwealth in That Country,
for Many Reasons.

Ireland is, perhaps, the only country
In Europe in which cooperative COM
monwealth has notable chance of be-
ing realized. Few great industrial in
terests have been established there.
The bulk Of the people are small farm
ers whose economic status makes CO.
operative combinations more and more
a necessity. The people have always
worked well in combination from the
time of the Celtic clans who so ably
and for so long resisted great mill

their combinations for boycott de-
stroyed a feudal system that had the
might of an empire behind it,
Such commonwealth, democratic
for production, aristocratic in leader

movement of today may be prophecy
of or perhaps a preparation for that
brotherhood. The theme of the new

Historical Precedent.

The American Indian of the dime
novel period practiced camouflage reg
ularly says the Christian Science
Monitor. Frequently he played the
role of bush while stealing up, at
nightfall, upon the paleface. Clumps
OF foliage, 1t will be recalled, were
often found by the eagle-eyed hunter
TO have moved during the night. One
BuclSskin Hank of the Rosebud, on en-
terlng what he supposed to be a grove
of young cottonwoods, found himself
surrounded by a band of Comanches,
who, throwing off their disguise, rushed
upon him! At this moment, however,
three tall oaks hard by fell upon the
redskins and rescued him. The tall
oaks, it is unnecessary to say, were
Buckskin's trusty companions, who,
suspecting the artifice of the Conan
ches, had beaten them at their own
game.

LUxURIANT FLORA OF CHINA
AppeIIation "FIowery Kingdom" singu-
larIy Suited to the Land of the
Yellow Race.

From time immemorial China has
been called the Fiowery kingdom, n
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis of flowers
of the spirit in the world desert of bar
barism, says a writer in Scribner's. In
this oasis grew the arts of the bronze
and stone worker, of the silkmaker and
embroiderer, of the potter, of the paint
er on silk, of the poet, philosopher and
ethical devotee. But China was not
named the Flowery kingdom because
of these flowers of the mind. fer fora
is one of the most luxuriant in the
world. 1t is estimated, to consist of
some 1900 species, 5000 of which
are known and one-half of which are
indigenous and not found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China, 1t is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became skilled
and honored profession.
The Emperor Shon-nung (2737-2705
b. CO, known as the "Dlvine Labor
err and also as the Father of Medicine
and Husbandry, dispatched collectors
to all parts OF the empire to bring III
plants of economic or medicinal value
for cultivation in the imperial gardens.

ing carried on by the Emperor Wn III

from distant parts many plants that

LAUGH IN FACE OF DEATH
British Soldiers on the Western Front
Maintain Senss of Humor Under
All Circumstances.

From the trenches on the western
front by way of Canada comes the
story of a soldiers narrow escape from
dccia and the levity displayed by a
colnrade, illustrating how viewpoints
change when men get on the firing line.
Private Mac of an Alberta regiment
had Il pious upbringing in his early
home in Scotland, and his religious in
cllnations did not desert him when his
family settled on farm in western
Canada. All through the war he has
carried "Spurgeon's Sermons in his
breast pocket, and occasionally he does
some preaching, with his comrades in
arms as the congregation.
Private c. of the same regiment
lacked the upbringing and the book of
sermons, but possesses sense of hui
NOR. The two were in group resting
and smoking, when shot from Ger
man sEiper hit Private Mac in the
breast, the bullet being detected by the
book.
Fearing that Mac was about to i'm
prove the occasion, c. "beat him to
it" and in fair imitation Of his
friends best preaching manner started
in:
"Oh, dear friends, what blessed
thing it was that our dear brother
wasn't a-reading Of his book of SER
mons--as he ought to have been-in-
stead OF engaging in worldly conyersa-
ton with sinner soldier men. For If
dear Brother Mac had been a-reading
of his book of sermons, where, oh,
where. my dear friends, would Brother
Mac (priceless old thing) have been

Share Your Pleasures.

1t has been said that happiness
which has not been shared has no
taste. If the pleasant things which
come to you, somehow seem to have
no taste, if they seem rather flavor
less, perhaps this Is the explanation.
Put gladness into another's life, divide
up the pleasures you have been selfish
ly enjoying, so that it will help two or
three, and your happiness will have
plenty of flavor.

DEVILS LAKE JEWS TO
GREET new YEAR

Devils Lake Jews will usher in their
Rosh Hashanah, or New Year, next
Sunday evening.
The observance of Rosh Hashanah
marks the beginning Of the cycle of
sacred holy days which come during
the month, the holy season coming to
an end with the Feast Of Conclusion
on Oct. 8. The day of Atonement
will be observed on Sept. 26 and the
Feast Of T~abernacles on Oct. 1.
Rosh Hashanah will usher in the
year 5678, which dates back to the
creation of the world.
The Jewish New Year is known by
different names, and each expresses
something Of it's spiritual significance.
Numbers xxx 1 designates it as "The
Day of Blowing the Trumpet (Sho-
far)." New Year occurs in the al
tumn, when the falling leaf and fad
ing flower turn mans mind to SER os
reflection, and sounds the admonitor:
message: Awake, and ponder your
deeds; remember your Creator; return
to Him in penitence. Be not of those
who reach out after shadows, and
waste years seeking vain things which
cannot profit to deliver. Look well ia
your souls and consider your acts; for.
sake each Of you his evil ways and
thoughts and return to God, that He
may have mercy upon you"
Rosh Hashanah is also known as
the Day Of Memorial, the Day Of
Judgment, Of determination. Ira.
dition says that on this day the Ruler
Of Life weighs the doings of man, and
allots to each his destiny, as it were
for. the coming year, for veal or woe
for life or death. "Shall a trumpet h
blown in the city, and the people moi
[tremble?" (Amos iii, 81 ""fFor tn.
Lord is our Judge; the Lord is oul
law-giver; the Lord is our king; HI
will rave u.s."
