STOCK RANGES AND
WATER CONDITIONS GOOD

Notwithstanding dry weather for
the last two weeks stock ranges have
maintained generally a good condi-
tion. Owing to cool nights and abb
sence of moisture, conditions are not
quite so favorable in southeastern
Arizona and southwestern New Mex
leo. The heavy rains of September
have filled nearly all water tanks and
reservoirs, and there is as yet no COM
plant of depleted supplies. While
there was no rain reported from east
ern Graham county, grass is good
stock are fat, and range is fair. Stock,
range, and water are good in the sec
good in the Prescott country, but the
condition of cattle is not known. In
the vicinity of Pinedale range condi-
tie are good in the district about
Grand Canyon; it has been cold on
the north rim, Is degrees, and, though
no precipitation fell, patches of snow
have remained on the ground during
the dry weather. Conditions are good
in the neighborhood of Holbrook.
There was neither rain nor snow at
Williams, but stock and range are
good. In southwestern Coconino
county, water is ample and stock are
good.
In the Salt River Valley dry weather
was favorable for farm work, but un-
favorable for termination of winter
wheat Cool nights have greatly i'm
proved the lettuce crop. Weather
was ideal for oranges and grapefruit.
In the Yuma section, cotton picking is
steadily advancing; plants are still
making top crop in many fields, and
delayed frost will increase yield. Much
grain sorghum is harvested, but later
planted fields would he damaged by
frost. Lettuce appears good

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT

= !: :. : i. !. :. I. :. : :. !. : :. !. :. =
A sharp drop in receipts and the
fact that the runs later this week will
be curtailed by the general holiday,
Thursday, Thanksgiving, gave the
market strong turn and prices
ruled strong to 25 cents higher.
Nothing with outstanding finish was
offered. Some choice heavy steers
sold up to S16.75. Trade in stockers
and feeders was active at strong
prices. Lamb prices were Is to rs
cents above last weeks close, best
lambs selling up to $13.S5. Hog
prices were off another dime and in
a new low position for the season.
Receipts today were $4,000 cattle,
$500 hogs and 5000 sheep, compared
with 25 900 cattle, 1000 hogs and 1000
sheep a weke ago, and 1860 cattle,
9,200 hogs and $3.50 sheep year ago.
With 10000 fewer cattle here than
a week ago and the smallest supply
on any Monday since June the market
ruled strong to 25 cents higher. The
supply was short of demand and on
that account buyers tried to hold the
advance down by reducing their or
ders. There was a good eastern de-
mand. Unless receipts increase the
supply of fat cattle will not meet re-
quirements. The few good to choice
steers here sold at $3.50 to $16.75
and fair to good kinds S11.50 to
$3.50. Grass fat steers, plain to fair
quality of southern origin brought
So to S11. Cows and heifers were
stronger with trade active. Colorado
grass fat heifers sold up to $40 and
grass cows up to SO. Gamer and
cutter cows brought S5 to Sc and fed
cows sold up to $3.50, with fed heifers
$3.50. Veal calves were stronger.
Bulls were Is cents higher.
In proportion to total receipts OF
cattle the supply of stockers and
feeders was fairly large. Trade was
active and prices ruled strong. Choice
Colorado, New Mexico and Texas
yearling stockers brought S11 to
S11.50. Fleshy feeders sold up to
$3.50.
Hog prices broke 10 cents below
last weeks close and into new low
position for the season. Eastern
markets are having heavy runs while
receipts at Missouri river points have
been relatively small, consequently
Eastern prices are relatively low. To-
day the 100 to 325 pound hogs sold
at S8.75 to S910; 140 to 185 pounds
$8.25 to $8.75; packing sows 81 to So;
stock hogs and pigs So to SO. Receipts
here the rest of the week will be
small.
Lambs were quoted is to 25 cents
higher and sheep up 10 to 10 cents.
Runs have been unusually small due
to the fact that the range movement
is over. and fed sheep have not start
ed to come. Today fed lambs sold
at S13.25 to $13.85; ewes So to S6.35.
Yearlings are quoted at $3.50 to $ll
and wethers S725 to $8.25.

NO, 1T WASN'T

The forest service is glad to an
nounce that the large smoke showing
up over Mars hill last Friday after
noon was not caused by forest fire.
1t came from a large brush fire on
the Jack LeBarron ranch between
Fort Valley and Riordan. Charles
Mccormick was burning brush from
lands which had been logged over. At
no time was the fire out of control.
The more than usually gorgeous
sunset which lasted long after sunset
led many to believe that there was a
large fire in the woods doing untold
damage.

Taffeta for tho Bouffant Type
of Evening Gown

Season after season taffeta is fea-
tured for the bouffant type of eve
ming frock. It's crisp texture and
subtle suggestion of youth makes II
an ideal choice for those graceful,
wide-skirted affairs so beloved of
the younger generation. Lanvin. the
designer, mainly responsible for this
bouffant gown. uses taffeta for the
majority of her picturesque models.
Callot Soeurs. also are believers in
this fresh, stiff fabric.
The youthful evening gown
sketched today is a lovely eombi-
nation of white taffeta and net. 1t
reveals a semi-fitted bodice worn
on the outside of the skirt, a full
gathered skirt. and an exception
ally decorative trimming.
Small flowers made of white vel
vet dotted with tiny brilliants are
applied to form a vine design on
both the bodice and skirt. The
only other trimming appears in the
form of a deep band OF white net
used to edge the scalloped skirt,
which is shorter in front than back.
The neck line is a shallow square
in front and deep N-shaped decol-
letage in back.
Nine-shaped motifs OF applique
white velvet dotted with rhine
stones trim the bodice and skirt of
this white taffeta cycEins frock.

with you in Camdenville. of course,
Meanwhile, il the thought OF leaving
Camdenville is not too unbearable,
I should be proud to have you i've

To this Mollie and Prof at once
objected. They were, as Prof eH-
planned. "a little too set to change
low." but they warmed at once TO
the kindly touch of the mans con-
sideration and from the very start
found themselves feeling perfectly
at home.

Of NIollie Elwell seemed to take on
an added poignancy as the thought
kept recurring to her In the warmth
and glow OF this luxurious home
If 1t only might have been, II only
Jim could have been there, too.
And then she would ask herself
what was the use of vain regrets?
Jim was dead. He had died for his
country. Her burden of sorrow was
neither greater nor less than that
OF thousands Of other mothers. She
must learn to bear it bravely.
