the papers to prove it. It looks as to let him have his way about it. It IS still the opinion of many that he is going to the Nogales post so that he can start a dried pepper business across the line, as he has stated so often in the past he would do.
 Joe McAleer's arrest took place on East Van Buren street, the police fig uring that any man who would drive at the rate of 69 miles per hour on that street was either an escaped "ticalun'' or one in the making. Joe had no trouble getting bail. He never has,
 Many people have looked up the traf- fic ordinances the past week to see if there is any way to keep $. M Starr from throwing apple seeds out into Adams street, in front of the Franklin place.

To add insult to injury Starr purchased the entire apple crop of Bouse last week, and the street is getting slippery again.
 George Rueben, who probably con- sumes more coffee than any man in these parts, swore off the habit last Friday evening. Why he did it is still a matter of conjecture. The twin ther- mos bottles, which he carried in his hip pockets, and which have become a familiar sight to all, have disappeared

 In one ton trucks, or now pneu- matic shod and II optional solid or pneumatic. In F ton sizes, 6 are reg ularly on Sneumatics and 2S optional. In 21z tons, are already on pneumatics and 19 optional. Even in 5 ton sizes the pneumatic tire is making headway.
 Tn the opinion of high officials of the Miller Rubber company, the pneumatic will ultimately be the tire adopted for long dista<ee hauling. If the proper in flation on pneumatics is strictly ad- hered to, these tires will deliver more mileage and more services with more comfort than solids.
 The pneumatic has in its favor. both superior traction and superior cushion ing. It saves gas and oil consumption and lessens mechanical repairs and de- preciation. It protects both road and load. It has greater hauling radius, in- creesed speed and affords drivers con- fortable working conditions.

Cattle Market DemOralized ,
by Panicy Farmers

Chicago, Nov. III Half fed inferior
grade cattle, being rushed to the chi
cago stock yards from all parts OF IN"
country by panic stricken farmers are
causing decentralization OF the Cattl"
market. according to Albert Baker.
head of the United States bureau of
markets here today Baker appealed to
farmers to stem the tide.
Farmers. Bakcr said. have become
p"niCliy because of timidity over fu-
tur,. live stock prices and ar" unload
ing under weight stock on the market
which has caused wide breaks in
prices
il was estimated that there was
close to $1,000 cattle in the stock yards
at the opening today. This is the
largest number In two years.
Cattle prices broke and stock sold
for 81 lower yesterday than the prev
ious days close and from $3.50 to $500
cheaper than two weeks ago. Prices
yesterday ranged from $3.50 to $l26O
IN the prospect today that prices
would hc cheaper.
Cattle prices are cheaper now than
any time sine" 1916.
Farmers are cutting their own
threats by Sending under weight cattle
to slaughter" Baker said today. 1T
stands to reason that well fed cattle
win bring better prices than the in
fjriOr grade now being sold. Feed Is
much cheaper and there is no reason
why farmers should not hold their
stock until they are more mature"
Faker said tn" grade Of cattle being
dealt In was iuOrcr than anytime for
