Good Cattle Market In Prospect

Charles o. Robinson, OF the Chicago
livestock commission house by that name.
writing OF the cattle market for this fall,
says:
This should be a very good year for
range men, and we feel bulIish on the
future fat cattle situation. Present prices
on corn feds are 50 to "a per hundred
weight higher than a year ago. and we
look for fat rangers to sell at from % to
$3.50 pei h~undredweight higher han q
year ago."
This Is a very substantial advance, and
coming from MI. Robinson. regarded by
many Montana shippers as an authority
on range cattle. Is most encouraging.

NEW YORK. June II. The

notes that it is of 1927 variety as
the all-whitc outfits of former years
are not included among the smart
est wardrObes. When the sports
suit or frock is black and white, the
hat should be black and likewise
the shoes. Often white stockings
heeled in black keep the two toned
idea.
One Partisan designer is pro-
noting the idea OF wearing little
white jackets with black skirts.
This white upper and black lower
idea is also found repeatedly in
jersey bathing suits.
Felt hats, mottied III calf-Skln de

binations they should look well with
sports clothes.

noon and evening gowns. Light

shades are particularly well liked.
Pastel-colored lace froeks arc
