Youth Returned to
Home in Minneapolis

Mayville, or johnson, as he
turned out to be, started back for
Minneapolis yesterday
The youth, who appeared at the
Stanley Slavick farm near Judson
about a week ago, was for a time
believed to be the son of c. E..
Mayfield of Two Harbors, Mimi,
when it was learned a search was
being made for young Mayfield.
He was taken into custody by
county officers when farmers in
the community declared he had set
one or more fires, and was lodged
in the county Jail.
Sheriff Charles Mcdonald was
soon convinced, however, that he
was not Mayfield at all, but John
son, as he claimed, and Deputy
Sheriff john Mcdonald declared
yesterday that he would have Q
chance to set. his fires on the way
u sMinneapolis, which he claimed
as his home.

The Cattle Situation
Cattle feeders are having an unsat-
isfactory year. Recent months have
seen a material decline in the prices
Of the better grades Of beef steers.
This trend is just the opposite Of
what occurred in the. summer Of 1925,
when prices advanced to the highest
levels since 1920. largely because Of
the scarcity Of heavy, well finished
steers suitable for hotel. restaurant
and dining car trade. A short corn
crop in 1924 was responsible for this
scarcity.
With an abundance of relatively
cheap corn from the crop Of 1925,
and, with fewer hogs to feed, It ap-
pears to have been the general policy
Of cattle feeders to plan for anothet
price rise in 1926. That they havl
met with disappointment Is apparent
from an inspection of the figures OF

An angle of the business situation

the margin of gain in both contract

narrower, and in July both contracts

as compared with July, 1925. While
the volume of work already under

Weather Bureau Makes Daily Observa-
ton; Traced in air as Far as Thirty
Miles.

Time was when the activities of the
u. S. Weather Bureau were but little
understood and were the subject of much
ocular comment but the public has now
learned to appreciate tie SCI vice and to
rely on the forecasts which are as nearly
correct as is humanity possible.
Tho San Juan branch Of the Weather
Bureau under the direction of DR.. Oliver
l.. Fasslg is of extreme Importance, be-
ing the center from which Vest Indian
weather forecasts are made. Reports are
daily sent to San Juan by agents in st.
Thomas, st. Kits, Dominica, Barbados,
Trinidad, the Dutch government also
sending reports from Curacao and ST.
Martin. The Dominican government CO.
operates with weather reports and it is
hoped that similar arrangements will be
established with Haiti.
Agriculturists, mariners, and a%Viators
benefit greatly by an accurate know
ledge Of weather conditions and to be
able to make more accurate surface fore
casts a few Of the Weather Bureau
stations are making daily observations
in wind changes, its velocity and direc-
ton, by means Of balloons.
The balloons used for these observa-
tons are of a special type of a gray rub
Der weighing approximately 81 grams
when Debated But few are manufac-
tured, the Goodyear Rubber Company
producing the greater portion and a
Canadian firm the majority of the re
mainder. The srmy, navy, and scienti-
fc bureaus are the largest purchasers.
At 7:O0 A.. M. each morning at the<
San Juan station one of these balloons
is inflated with hydrogen and the kro.
cess, while simple, is most interesting
to watch. the balloon is first WEIGHED
on delicate scales and then attached 10
