KANSAS CITY STOCK
YARD REPORT
October 8, 1925
By CHAS. NJ. PIPKIN
Correspondent

October II, 1925
Receipts today $4,000 cattle and
5000 calves, were the largest thus
far this season. The heavy killing
frosts late last week was respon-
sible for part of the heavy run.
and for the next ten days receipts
will be heavy. A large per cent
of the run was stockers and feed
ers. Prices were quoted steady to
20 cents lower, mostly 10 to Is
cents off on killing classes. The
big decline in hogs that prevailed
late last week was extended 10 to
10 cents today and the market pas
sed into the lowest position of the
year. Sheep and lambs were
steady.
TOday's Receipts
Receipts today were $4,000 cat
tie, 1000 hogs, and $4,000 sheep,
compared with $4,000 cattle, 5000
hogs, and 11,000 sheep a week ago,
and 46,950 cattle, 1880 hogs and
$3.50 sheep a year ago.
Beef Cattle
The few good to choice fed steers
offered today sold readily at fully
steady prices. Three car loads of
1,450 pound steers brought $14, and
other fed steers brought $3.50 to
$3.50. Some steers that had been
warmed up from grass, brought
$8.25 to 1925. Grass fat steers
sold at $500 to $3.50. Most of the
fed steers under $40 and the grass
fat steers unoef e. were 10 TO Is
cents lower. Average quality Of
tie grass fat steers was the plain
est of the season. Fed cattle were
III limited supply. Cows and heif
els were 10 to Is cents lower. Dc
mand was active at the decline.
Veal calves were so cents lower.
StOckers and Feeders
Receipts of stockers and feeders

a real fan. The idea was logical.
So we got busy.
For one thing" I said, there
goes the first street car that has
bothered you. 1t has poor brushes
resulting in a lot Of sparkling. It's
a car that hasn't been on this line
before, and the chances are that
it will be sent to the shop before
long.
"Now somebody is using an ele-
vator in the apartment house
across the way. l can hear that
too. If you recall what 1 said
about amplifying noises as well as
the things you want to hear you'll
tune in our present station a little
closer so that it will come in with
out requiring so much amplifica-
ton. If we get the signals from
the station real loud in the detector

ately it is evident that the final
product will be greatly in favor of

is operating" | explained. If you
get a squeal in the process don't
let it bother you
Thus by experimenting little
Smith got static without it's getting
him. Little by little the foreign
noises were minimized until the
natural cracking didn't seem so
bad. Like the scratching of
phonograph you can learn to over
look a certain amount of static,
particularly when you know that
without any apparent warning the
air may clear up and give you your
station as clear as a bell.
The mystery or radio, Smith
found, is half the fun.

John Smith and His RADI0
NO. 5-GETTING STATIC NHUIU
One of Series of Weekly Articles Popular RadO-COpy
rghted 1925, by Ullman Feature Service

Like the boastful little girl who
told her inquirers that if her faith
er could get Paris he certainly
could get static, Smith was boast
ing of lot of reception that no
one ever wants. "Atmospherics, y
the technically minded call it, "the
noises of space"
While the origin of true static
is still a matter of opinion, being
caused by sun spots, miniature
electrical storms in the ether or
some natural process of this ma
ture, it is known not to have a
definite wave length and thus can
not be tuned out of a receiving set
at will. The noises put into the
air by humanity, such as that Gre
ated by electric generators, street
car motors, ETC., however, can be
reduced or eliminated by changing
the position of the set or by COM
planning against companies respon-
sible for the interference.
Smith feared at first that all the
noise he heard one evening was
due to his tubes or his batteries,
but by disconnecting the aerial
wire and turning up his filament
rheostats until the customary fry
ing" sound came from the loud
speaker he found that the noise
was mainly from the air.
Am I to expect this regularly?"
he questioned, somewhat worried

Users of Ink Seemed
to Possess Advantage

A magazine editor told at the AL
gonquin In New York an anecdote
about the late Anatole France.
"a YOUTH" said the editor, "once
persuaded Anatole France to read
the manuscript of a novel that he
had written. The master read the
novel and then he pronounced his
verdict.
"'Your novel is rot he said.
But the youth. protested in
dignantly, I wrote that novel with
my hearts blood
"Anatole France smiled and
shrugged his shoulders.
You youngsters he said, write
with your hearts blood, and we old
fellows write with ink; but our ink
burns with a redder flame than your
hearts blood"

Curiosity of Hair

Some curious anomalies regard
ing the hair and skin have been
noted by Prof. Joseph Bancroft.
He tells us that hair is merely skin
which has grown in particu-
lar way, hardened, and instead of
being rubbed away, as happens with
the ordinary surface of the skin,
sticks out in tubular form. The
pigment which colors the hair is
not the same as that which colors
the skin, for the skin of an Anglo
Saxon, however black his beard, is
not negroid.

THE CAMILLE TRIO
OF CIRCUS FAME TO
BE AT STATE FAIR

Three noted comiques and clowns
who have appeared with all the
le1ding circuses in the world, from
the Sanger Show in England to
Barnum and Baily and the Ring
ling circuses in this country will
appear at the Arizona Free State
Fair to be held in Phoenix from
November to IA, inclusive.
Camille, himself and his two
brothers, Antoine and Pierre, were
featured for many years with the
Barnum and Bailey circus with
screamingly funny horizontal bar
act. This act has been in existence
thirty years and in that time but
one change has been made in it's
personnel. 1t is one Of the funniest
acts of it's kind in the world.
The Camille Trio is but one of
the many entertainments features to
be on the daily and evening pro-
grams arranged by the Arizona
State Fair commission for this
years great event. With both day
and night shows featured the great

batic acts include Cliff Curran, who
performs at the top of a 70 foot
swinging pole; the Flying Floyds,
one of the worlds greatest aero
batic acts and the Three Melvins,
famous circus hand leapers.
In addition Stanley's Equine Rae

When this happens my advice to
you is to save your time and your
batteries for nights when the air
is right. You don't stop being en-
thusiastic over motoring just be-
cause you aren't comfortable driv-

"Tll keep that in mind" he said,
"but tonight I'm just interested

words, if I can eliminate the un-
natural noise I can tune in and

To Make War on Ants

AS an effective poisoning bait
for ants, moisten a sponge or a
piece of bread with a sirup made by
dissolving an ounce Of sugar and
ten grains of arsenate of soda in
two ounces of hot water.
Some ants may even carry the
poison liquid back to the nest, re-
sulting eventually in the destruc-
ton of the entire colony.
The employment of this effective
bait, if used with care, may replace
the application of the many insecti-
cidal preparations. which, princi-
pally on account of the Odor they
impart, cannot be conveniently en-
ployed.-Hygeia.

Lofoyeffe's Kiss

Hero worship was as prevalent in
the days of Lafayette as it is now.
The following anecdote is taken
from Paul Revere Frothingham's s
Life of Edward Everett: When
Lafayette, the hero of two conti-
nents, arrived in America in the
year 1924 and attended the Phi Beta
Kappa meeting at Harvard for
which Edward Everett had been
chosen orator, one enthusiastic lady
declared: eff Lafayette had kissed
me, depend upon it, would never
have washed my face again as long
as I lived"

Most OF the fat lambs sold easily
at steady prices, but later str.e

Ancient Gates and Weirs

On the Exeter (England) ship
canal gates were recently removed
which had been in continuous duty
for 400 years. Even this, how
ever, was not the oldest waterway
contrivance in existence in Great
Britain. An ancient stone weir,
dating from 100, was adapted
year or two since to drive ma
chinery for supplying Chester with
electricity, and part Of the canal
connecting the Trent and William
navigations is the Foss dyke, which
the Romans cut during their occu-
patton of Britain.
