Poor Education

I'm sorry for the girls and lads
who grow up i'll these wanton
times. for they have learned to
blow the scads, have learned that
care and thrift are crimes !:
they've seen their mothers and
their dads with wild abandon
burn the dimes They've learned
it's folly to provide by saving,
for the rainy day, that life is
Just one gladstone ride along an
endless Great White Way: that
all sane rules should be dehed.
that dawn's the time to hit the
hay. They've learned that silk
a1aue is fit for gaudy girls and
boys>to wear. but no one learns
to sew\or knit. or frame a de-
cent bill >of fare; and all must
strive to make a hit. though
creditors may>rear and swear.
We've taught thep many foolish
tricks, we elders, Who should be
more wise; for we @ere buying
brazen bricks. and throwing
rubles at the flies: we've got
the young folks in a fix-lth
US the dark dishonor lisA
They're starting out on their
careers convinced that money
grows on trees; and prudence
to their view appears a thing
that has the scent OF cheese; and
we misled these gallant dears.
we boobs. with whiskers to our
knees. 1t was our duty to be
sane when younger folks blew
in their wads, to rise like sages
and explain that waste invites
the Christening rods, to prove ex-
travagance is vain, and thrift
the offspring of the gods.

CITES ACCIDENT CAUSES.
Maj. Gessford Warns Against
Motor Speeding at CROSSINGS.

Speeding across intersections and
failure to give right Of way are
causes Of many traffic accidents, ac-
cording to Maj. Harry L. Gessford,
superintendent of police, in a mes
sage to members of the police depart
ment. The message reads:
From a study of the reports on
traffic conditions and also complaints
which come into police headouar-
ters 1t seems that good work Is be-
ing accomplished more particularly
along certain lines than others.
For instance complaints have beep
received and 1t has been observed
that there is still great deal Of
speeding on the part OF motorists
across intersections. This is a very
fertile cause for accident and this
regulation must be enforced riRidly
n it is hoped to minimize accidents
from this source.
1T has also been observed that some
drivers are still in the habit of tak-
ing the right of way unlawfuIIy.
There Is no violation Of the reeula-
lions which will cause an accident
quicker than failure to give right of
way. 1t is a most dangerous practice
and is one for which all drivers
guilty thereof should be promptly ar
rested

Appellate Court Rules in Contro.

Allowing the police and revenue Of

dence, the District Court of Appeals.
in an opinion by Chief Justice Smyth
yesterday, directed the return to Fred
J. Hughes of the balance Of 1877 cases
Of whisky taken by revenue officers

University. The court reversed the
decision OF the lower court. which had
allowed the police to hold the whisky.
The crime of which the men are

points out, and the case is as COM

LEGION MAN BUSY WITH BIS
Buckeye Boy Bends, Bows and Bor- rows Bad and Beautiful Bonus
 Boosting Babble.

"Apt alliteration's artful aid" was rot neglected when an Akron (O) member of the American Legion spun the following bonus yarn:
 "Burt began to bitterly berate the bull about the bonus bill, bewailing the benighted bigotry of the belliger- ent birds, badly blocking the bonus by bombastic blusterings ard brable, and branding the busted bucks who hore the brunt of the battle as bad gers and booty-burglars of billions in bonds, believed by big, bald business brow-beaters to belong buried In banks.
 Before our bewildered Burt board ed a boat to become a battle-scarred vet beyond the borders of our bright. beautiful. big country, he became a benedict; and, back from the battles busted and barren of bullion, our be nighted boy hero became beautifully bored because big bibulous bunco men breathlessly built a bunch of back hand lies to bribe him by a bunk promise of a bonus.
 "But Burt isn't badly brow-beaten oy the bedraggled babble of a bonus. Blythe, buoyant and bubbling, biding his time, Burt, the benedict and bat tie buddy, and Beulah, his bride, be- Iieve the bully and bumptious idea that a beIefcent bunch of birds will be brought to believe that big battles beat the Boche and busted bucks need bread; and before beaucoup belated years pass a bonus bill to bring the bacon back to our buddy, Burt.

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET
 AUGUST 18th, 1921

Cattle receipts today were tn. largest of the year, mostly Kan lsas, Oklahoma, and Texas, past. ured steers. Demand for fed grades, wintered grass fat and the best grades of grass fat steers was active and fully steady Half fat and common killers sold slowly at lower prices but the decline was modified by a good stocker and feeder demand. Hog prlces were steady to 10 cent low CT. Lambs were 25 cents higher. Utah lambs sold up to S10.50.
 Today's Receipts
 Receipts today were 26, 6,500 cattle, $500 hogs, and 450O sheep compared with 22.500 cattle, 75O0 hogs, and 900 sheep a week ago, and 21, 800 cattle, 1850 hogs and 9990 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 Trade in beef cattle started the week in much the same posi- tion as late last week. Best kill ing grades especially fed steers, Were steady, with the best time last week and the plainer kinds were 15 to 25 cents lower than | l ast Wednesday. However, there was a good demand from local killers and good outlet on shipping orders. General indi- cations are that the market will continue to absorb liberal supp lies readily. Killers are taking more cattle than at any previous tune this year. and the feeder grade which has expanded mate rially will act as a check to any | further decline in the half fat | classes. Cows and heifers were 25 cents lower with trade quiet. 1 Veal calves were steady.
 Stockers and Feeders
 Inquiry of stoekers and feed CTS was fairly large with prices unchanged. A good many thin steers and stock cows are being sent into the northwest sections that last year had drought con- ditions. Corn belt feeders are buying a good many fieshy steers for short feeding.
 Hogs
 Hog prices averaged steady to 10 cents lower. Rough classes showed the deline. Smooth grad es in practically all weights were in active demand. The top price was $S. 90, and bulk $9.00 to $9.- 35. Pigs sold up to $10.25. Ship pers bought freely. All Eastern markets closed lower.
 Sheep and Lambs
 Lambs were strong to 25 cents higher and sheep steady. Native ambs sold up to $9. 50, Arizonas o1O 25. and Utah lambs $1O.5O. Wethers are quoted at $5. 25 to 55.75, and ewes $4.25 to $500. Feeding lambs are quoted at $6.- 50 to $7.75.
 Horses and Mules
 Increased supplies of horses and mules. mostly plain quality told slowly at weak prices. A. bout 150 range horses are ready Or the special auction this after loon.
