hall next Monday evening and gener-
Gus response from the public is expect
ed. Hatch's full orchestra will give a
concert from $50 to $50 o'clock, which

The fire department has been called
| out twice during the week to respond
| to false alarms. When the tempera-
ture ranges below zero it is quite
| hardship upon the boys to rustic out
| and haul their equipment through the
streets when there is no occasion for it.
! People should remember that every
| alarm sent in adds expense to the city
and should be certain that the company
| will be needed before telephoning a
| call. False alarms are nuisance.

The highest price ever paid for
feeding lambs at the sheep feeding sta
ton here was secured Monday when
Augsburg & Hawkins of Durand, Mich,
paid Conway & Biederman $3.50 per
cwt. for $500 western range lambs.
The lambs were part of a shipment
of 5000 brought to the yards few
weeks ago from Billings, Mont, to be
finished for market. About 1900 of the
tops were sorted out and shipped to
Chicago. But the Montana growers
got cold feet at the size of the feeding
bill with corn above $1.00 a bushel, and
sold the balance to Conway & Bieder-
man. The Michigan men are large
sheep feeders and have confidence that
fat lambs will sell for SIS later. The
shipment went forward Tuesday even
ing in Is double deck cars.
