The establishment of community
shipments of live stock to the differ
ent markets while it has proven a
means of ready money to the farmers
over the project, has been a matter
of concern to L. e. Cline, who has
fathered this movement, and who has
had the responsibility of the sales
and the attendant duties that go with
the car lot movements. In each
event he has accompanied the stock
to market, seen to the loading and
unloading, the weighing, and bring
ing home of returns, and at the same
time has made it part of his bust
ness to get the best market price
possible.
The carload of stock that went out
last week was about on the average
and fair prices were secured. Hogs
brought from cents per pound for
feeders to 8 n cents for we'll condi-
toned animals. Cows brought from
Az to 5lz cents a pound, according
to condition, while steers went for
" cents, all being in good order.
Veal brought to cents for dairy
fed and large calves were sold for
cents.
In some instances those shipping
received more than they anticipated
while others did not get as much as
expected, all owing to lack of condi-
tion. In speaking of this element of
the trade Mr.. Cline stated:
THE one trouble with our ship
ments has been the lack OF condi-
toned animals. 1t is no trouble to
dispose of fat or prime hogs, cows
or veal, but to try and sell the pack
ing company what they do not really
want is a hard problem. If all of
our marketable product was in prime
condition il would not only help the
market, but it would help build a
demand for our stock. Often the
packers have had to be coaxed into
taking what they really do not want.
"The Nevada Pack, where we have
disposed most of our live stock,
has been most friendly toward the
community shipments, but naturally
they ask fer better conditioning
which is the only complaint, and |
am forced to confess that often pro-
ducts are sent out that are not in as
good shape as the market demand.
The farmers and producers could
make more money If they would turn
out a better class of marketable ami
mails, and it can be done. as there is
not a shipment but that some of the
animals are top notch and bring
prices accordingly.
Some idea of what the packers
put up with. and without complaint
can be cited In the last shipment,
which is but sample of many
others. In this case there were IA
shippers which required 20 separate

When asked how he identified the
conglomerate shipment Mr.. Cline
smiled and taking a pair of shears
from the drawer illustrated how he
clipped a porker on one side, cali
on the other, steer up the back and
a COW down the front, and in all of
the shipments so far out he has new
er made a mistake, but he is crossing
his fingers and knocking on wood
every time he faces the packer.

FALLON DAY SUGGESTION

The parties having the auto show
exhibit in hand are suggesting that
the citizens of this city set aside one
day during the show as Fallon Day,
day In which this town will be des-
erted, and one in which everyone can
go to Reno and show them that we
are backing up our products.
The committee is willing to center
on any day that is generally satisfac-
tory and will do its best to advertise
the fact. The band boys should be
taken along and every citizen who
can possibly do so should help in this
boost matter.

MOTHER
FIXES OWN NURSERY
Mary of England Unwilling
to Let Baby Out of
Her Sight.
BY Universal Service.

LONDON Feb. Chesterfield
House was showered with con-
gratulatory messages today upon
the arrival of an heir to Lord
Lascelles and his wife, who was
Princess Mary, only daughter of
King George and Queen Mary.
Hundreds of British notables
joined with the King and Queen in
calling to offer their best wishes
to Princess Mary. 1t was said that
the princess and her husband had
a touching interview when she
awakened this morning, and there
after the new royal mother devoted
her whole attention to the baby,
never letting it out of her sight.
The princess, who received a hos
pital training on the care of infants
has fixed up her own nursery, ac-
cording to the most modern ideas,
and has given her own minute direc-
tons for the care of the boy. Mother
and child were progressing admir-
ably, it was announced, the princess
enjoying an excellent appetite.
The first congratulations came
from the Prince of Wales and the
mother-in-law of Princess Mary,
Lady Hardwood, but in the list were
congratulatory messages from the
humblest classes including the old
servants of Lord Lascelles and the
princess.
A trip to the south Of France is
planned by Lord LasSalIes and Prin-
cess Mary as soon as she is able to
travel.

self-compassion, he wrote:
"'Oh! could 1 feel as / have felt

Or weep as 1 could once have

Shelley, too, being an artist
couldn't stand insensible to his own
tragedy and Francis Thompson sug-
gests that he even anticipated his
own end from a passage in Julian
and Maddalo, IF you can't
swim, Beware of Providence Did
no earthly dixisti," Thompson asks,
sound in his ears as he wrote it?'
I'm any event, it was an admir-
able ending from the dramatic point
of view: Destiny is often superb
dramatist. What more perfect than
the death of Rupert Brooke at
Scyros in the Aegean?
eff only I could order my life
by line and level, if I could con-
troll or create my own destiny and
mold it into some marble perfec-
ton! In short, If life were an art
and not lottery!"
The English writer was peculiarly
quainted with ''The Journal of
Marie Bashkirtsheff," the story of
the beautiful young Russian artist
whose career in Paris was cut short
by untimely Illness. He admitted:
I'VE are identicali Oh, Marie
Bashkirtsheff! How we should
have hated one anotheri She feels
as I feel. We have the same self
absorption, the same vanity and cor
roding ambition. She is impression
able, volatile, passionate-ill! So
am I. Her journal is my journal.
All mine is stale reading now. She
has written down all my thoughts
and forestalled me! Already I have
found some heart-rending parallels.
To think / am only a replica: how
humiliating for a human being to
find himself merely a duplicate of
another. Is there anything in the
transmigration of souls? She died
in 1885. I was born in 1889"
Barbellion hits on a human trait,
vanity, that seems to persist even
after death. He says sit is hard
not to be somebody even in death. +"
Later he observes: "The only sober
man is the melancholic, who olsen
chanted, looks at life, sees it as it
really is, and cuts his throat"
What a pity that the brilliant
young Marie Bloomfield got into
such conflict with herself and life
that she could be vitality influenced
by such morbidity.
