Fit of Temperament

For the first time since their

dial telephones proved "finicky''
today and for a brief but rather
exciting five minutes refused to
work in various parts of the city.

cause of the break. said that it
was due to the momentary fail

Up, Open Glasses

-Four thousand one hundred and
ninety-one students have enrolled
in Washington's summer schools.
which opened yesterday, accord
ing to figures received today by
Walter B. Patterson, director OF
special activities, from his princi-
pals.
This is about 600 more than
were listed last year on the first
day. While the attendance was
good yesterday, it is the desire of
those in charge to have still more
pupils. Outside students can now
be admitted, Patterson said, If
they have the necessary qualifi-
cations.
At Central High School, where
the senior students go, 2.001
pupils are studying. The junior
high schools have 617 students,
Mcfarland having 246, Stuart
24O and Gordon 1871. In the
elementary schools 1873 have
signified their intention Of pur'
suing summer studies.
Patterson wants particularly to
build up the attendance at the
Oyster and Janney schools. where
the enrolment is below par.
The Janney School, located at
Wisconsin Avenue and Albemarle
Street Northwest. is new and
many do not know that it is open,
while the oyster School, at
Twenty-ninth and Calvert Streets
Northwest, is replacing the John
Eaton School this summer, and
Patterson feels that if it were
known that these two are avail.

Have Warned All Hospitals to
Watch for Baker Suspect as

Herman H. Barrere, missing
World War veteran for whom a
nationwide search is being con-
Quoted in connection with the

being arrested by travelling
through cities and towns where
he might be recognized by any
one of dozens of police.

that Barrere got long lead on

the crime was committed in
Arlington county and have turned
all interrogators over to Com

All agencies at work on the
Baker case declare that it is only
a question of time before Barrere
falls into the police dragnet, as
he is suffering from spine con-

this in mind police are concen-

relieved of his assignment in
favor of Maj. John c. Gotwals'

HOPES FOR VICTORY

Gus Thompson who is working in
a barber shop at Bricelyn in Fair

the state, writes to the American that
he is getting along very we'll down
there but adds that he would like to
be with the Askov people again. AS
a former member of the Askov base

A regular reader of the Askov
American, Gus writes that a number
of his friends down at Bricelyn also
look over the American each week,
and as they are strong boosters for
Stafford King of st. Paul, for the Of
flee of state auditor on the Repub-
lican ticket they ask that he be given
some publicity in the American also.
The Bricelyn-King-for-Auditor Club of
which DR.. H. w. Sybilrud is presi-
dent, has issued an open letter in be-
half of Mr.. King, of which the fol-
lowing is part:
Every time that he has spoken our
enthusiasm for him as a man has
mounted higher. Mr.. King is excep-
tiOnally gifted as an orator and is
imbued with sincerity of expression
tremendously effective in any public
speaker. His years of experience in
the American Legion, and for the five
past years as director of the Depart
ment of Soldier Welfare, shows him
to be able, efficient and effective. The
two great veterans hospitals in the
state, at st. Cloud and Fort Smelling,
stand as monuments to his unceasing
efforts in behalf of his disabled COM
rades. His activities and successes
during the past decade show that un-
selfishness is basic part of his creed,
and that he places duty, as his con-
science points it out to him, far above
monetary gain. His is the type of
citizen which goes to make up the
most valuable and most worthwhile
public servant"

CATTLE RETURNS
LARGEST OF YEAR
Steers and Yearlings In Liberal Sup.
ply and Csc Down. Others Weak
Hog Market Unchanged Compared
With Saturdays Close; Uneven
Trend in Sheep House.

(By U. s. Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics and Minnesota Department OF
Agriculture.)
South ST. Paul, Mimi, June 9, 1880:
With the heaviest run of the year on
offer in the cattle division here to-
day, and generous runs as well as
lower trends at outside centers, the
weak to Csc downturn which occurred
here was to be expected. Steers and
yearlings predominated and showed
most of the loss, especially palmer
grades, these turning largely at $9.65
to $10.75, numerous cars of desirable
yearlings selling at $10.75 to $11.4O,
with the days carlOt top $11.50, also
yearlings. She stock was slow and
uneven but mainly steady, beef cows
centering at $500 to $780, heifers
from $775 to $3.50, low cutters and
cutters largely at $3.50 to $5.75, bulls
at $500 downward, while vealers were
unchanged, good grades turning at
$1,000 to $1,000, choice kinds to $3.50.
Trade in the hog house held steady
today despite the fact that supplies
were of liberal volume and of rather
ordinary quality and that there was
very little shipping demand apparent.
Better grade 100 to 220 pound aver
ages sold mostly at $3.50 to $1,000,
a few choice closely sorted 160 to $50
pound averages scoring at 5000, with
odd lots of sorted 100 to 140 pound
weights to $10.25, the practical top,
however, being $1,000. Most 220 to
$50 pound weights scored at 1915 to
$1,000, pigs and underweights $1O.25.
sows largely $3.50 to $8.75.
Better grade lambs cashed at $11.50
to $11.75 or steady, yearlings at $S.75
to $3.50 being steady to Csc lower,
while ewes sold off soc or largely at
$500 downward.
Feeders and Suckers.
Some weakness marked the feeder
and stocker trade in line with slaugh-
ter classes, palmer offerings showing
the downturn. Choice stockers sold
upwards to $1,000 or better, most thin
stockers at $S.25 to $3.50, common
kinds as low as $3.50. Stock pigs sold
largely at $10.25 or steady with last
weeks close.
