HORSE MARKET


trade of the past week was on a
small scale. with practically no fresh
country horses offered. Sales We're
confined to auctions of horses from
local business concerns who were
closing out. and from entries of near
by seconds. Amongst the former
were some fairly good teams, but
even these failed to bring out any
eaCerness to the bidding, and the
horses closed out at low values, con-
sidering their worth. Seconds Of cr-
binary quality, and more or less used
up by hard service, moved slowly
and at low figures, in some cases
brIleing the price of their hide only.
T. badly blemished.> Dealers are not
looking for any Improvement this
week but nearly all'report that they
will try on the market o number of
fresh western horses in the following
week At present the western mar
kets are active with none of the
manifestations of weakness that is
sales.
If offered good quality heavy green
drafters Of 1900 to 1900 lbs would
bring from s3OOG 325. with drafters
OF, 1850 to 1900 lbs at s225G275: but
for this class there is no call. The
bulk OF the trading is IN horses Of
1900 to 1900 lbs. which sold on last
weeks market at $1,000 200 per head,
Blemished seconds sold at 5000
each.
J. C. Keith sold 40 nearby seconds
at auction sale. Bids came in slowly
and the horses were closed out at
prices below real value. No green
horses will be offered in this week
sales.
William Hurwitz Sons Company
sold IS head of acclimated horses to
dull demand. Prices were easy.
This week there will be about the

TONE OF THE MARKET
It was another poor beef cattle
marke, and assin the sales OF a week
ago, fractional concessions 70 the
buyers were the rule. Receipts ran
light and prices are on SO low a level
that 1t Is not profitable to ship at
present. Under these conditions few
fancy cattle were offered, and while
there was a fair showing OF medium
grades. the bulk was in Gamer cows.
II offered fancy steers and oxen

steers and oxen CIT 1-2c., and poor
or coarse oxen at SO SC; choice fat
cows and heifers. In limited supply

There has been an increase in the
shipment of New England sheep and

heavy. The market is dull and ma
tive stock seldom bring top prices.
Sheep sold at 4@Sc: lambs SO 12c.
The calf market was in moderately
heavy supply. with prices steady
with no material change in trade
conditions. Fancy lots sold at IL II

Mich cows sold to no better ad-
vantage than before the advance in
the price paid for milk to the pro-
ducer but in these days of unsatis-
factory conditions, it takes pretty
good mixer to tempt a buyer into
paying 500 for a COW. The bulk
of the sales closed at $65 a $40.

OVER YOUR HEAD

While everybody is looking at the heavens, as near
y everybody has been doing lately why confne atten
ton to Mars and Venus? Why not LET the vision range
on through the universe?
AT the recent gathering of scientists in Toronto.
an American astronomer named Silberstein descipe
OF Einsteln gave some facts and figures that might
be applied in such observation on a1y of these clear
nights.
How Tar will you have to look to see to the end of
the universe? 1t is fairly simple according to Dr. Sill
berstelns statement The universe is spherical and
wherever happen to be- whether in Oshkosh or the
moon or Sirius some odd corner of the Milky Way
IS for practical purposes the center of everything.
confines of the universe is little matter of 1140O0-
600 light years.
That is, if you turned on flash light it would
take tat many years for the light to reach the rim of
the universe Or If star exploded at the rim it would
take that long for the flash to reach you If you want
more tangible measure, light year represents
$4,000 times the distance from the earth to the sum-
Suppose, then, you let your imagination start ON
the Journey indicated by that stretch of light years.
When you get to the outer rim she'll of the universe
DIR. Sbersteln explains, you will not really reach
limit. You will not bump into wall, fall off into
nothing. You will keep right on straight ahead the
way you have been doing all the time and eventually
you will reach your starting point again in Oshkosh
wherever it
In other words, your straight line running through
the universe without bending, makes circle when you
stretch it far enough.
These verify, matter too deep for u.s. Still,
It's good once In while for swimmer to Jump in,

DISARMAMENT AT GENEVA

More interest is being shown in the present assem-
bly, of the League of Nations than in any previous
sion of that body This is true of America, which is
rather fully represented there unoffcialy, and true
also Of the rest Of the everybody seems
to be looking to the League rchalenging it, to show
some big achievement And if the present ses-
sion does anything of special noe it will probably be
along the line which now holds much of the worlds
The League itself has been studying the armament
question since organized and is expected to
offer definite plan by which it will hope to persuade
