MARKET DAY A WINNER.
Big Sale OF Meat ON the Market BY
Farmers Last Saturday.

Last Saturdays Market Day was
the best so far from the attendance
standpoint as farmers from all about
came here with produce and buyers
were present in large numbers from
among the city folks.
There was the usual amount OF
vegetables for sale all OF which were
readily, taken by the local buyers.
The supply was more varied this time
lot of butter, milk and cream, being
offered as we'll as meats.
II was about the meat wagons that
the greatest number centered. ana
women came from all parts OF the
city with their baskets and brought
home their weeks meat.
Roy Fisher had his meat all cut up
and sold il at prices ranging from 22e
for lolns down to 14c for round steaks
and he sold an entire carcass.
Mr. Cassagranda was the Frat ON
the market with beef. lie sold lis
meat from 12c up, and cut II as ,.sEed
to By the buyers. A Finn from the
Smith mine had beef that he eus up
as requested, also, making three full
bceyes that were disposed OF that day.
Gust Pintella had butter and milk
as vel as some cream. He sold all
but little milk.
Mrs, Louis Berte from Balsam had
large quantity OF butter that went
Off lively.
Several others were present with
vegetables and and one farmer from
Sagola had load of fifty bushels Of
potatoes that he disposed OF.
The Market is growing, but II must
have the patronage OF the city peo-
pie as well as tlte farmers. II Is prob
able that there will be several beeves
brought in each Saturday hereafter
and the women Of the city should
come to the market with their bas-
kets and buy their weeks meat sup
ply, Eggs and butter will come In
in greater volume pretty soon
There is talk about town of getting
permanent quarters for the farmers.
and II couple more days like the
market OF last Saturday shows up
there is little question but that the as
sistance can be got to provide such a
place. -%~srs. !

During the week beginning Sunda%
October ~. an active campaign will
be waged throughout Iron County in
the interest OF food conservation
The men OF our allies have been
been lighting our battles at the front
and consequently food production in
their countries has been short This
makes Il necessary that we assume a
large part OF the burden OF feeding
them during the coming winter, and
will require the most careful conser-
walton OF food by all our people
Food conservation has been summed
up by Mr.. Hoover under the follow
ing six principles:
I. We want to save the wheat.
2 We want TO save the meat
g. We want TO save the fats
4 We should increase the use or
FISH, cabbage, corn. rye and rice
We want to save transportation,
therefore buy local foods as much as
possible.
8, Preach the Gospel OF the Clean

" are asked 10 preach sermons on
