Stuart Blake knew that bit OF
history. When he rode out from
Superstition Lodge that morning
ne decided TO go ~ near the
base of Viewers Needle ant
scout around from there. The
shortest route was six miles H.
with much climbing, but his horse
was a hardy one. He recognized
the Needle about midday. not
more than a mile from him.
He had never seen Il more beau
tiful region, never imagined one
as rugged and wild. He wondered
where the irOnwoOd logs might
lie concealed. 1t intrigued him to
think of the fun and excitement
if he should happen to hnd the
Dutchman'S gold; he plctvred HIM,

And his friends back in Chicago.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 13,
1887 (U. S. D. Az: Liberal receipts
in the aggregate at seven leading
markets signaled another bearish
drive on the part of killers today.
The decline locally was not nearly
as severe as at some of the other
leading points, the slaughter steer and
yearling market ranging weak to 25c
lower Shortfeds and warmed-up
kinds predominated to sell within a
spread of $500 to $500. Best on
offer were held above $3.50 late
Heifers ranged weak to 15c down, a
top of $3.50 being paid for choice
Shorthorn heifers scaling 875 pounds.
Medium to good kinds earned $3.50
to S7.25, with common grades around
$500. Cows were steady to Csc
lower, good cows showing the de-
cline. Cutters were most active, a
spread of $325 to $425 including
cutter and low cutters with butcher
cows $3.50 to S5.25, and good beef
cows upward to S5.75. Steady prices
for vealers found odd head hitting
$3.50 and bulk good grade $3.50 to
$3.50. A steady to weaker trend on
bulls uncovered most medium grade
at S5.75 to S6.25, good beef bulls
upward to S6.75. Stockers and feed
erS were mostly steady.
Although steady to SC higher prices
ruled in the hog trade, this trend did
not cover all transactions, in that
some sales were lower and others
were as much as 10c higher than last
weeks close. The very uneven trade
demand. Weights scaling 230 to 260
pounds garnered the 10c advance in
the few spots where they were shown,
while on the other hand hogs weigh
ing 200 to 220 pounds were sc to 10c
and even more lower than last Fri
day. Top of the market sneaked
back to the $500 figure and bulk
of the good and choice 40 to 200
pound offerings turned at SITS to

Slaughter lambs sold Csc to soc

pite an apparently broad demand at
the outset, buyers held the upper
hand and the selling side had to
yield in an afternoon session. Good

$3.50, while a few choice loads
reached s8.75 to shippers. Slaughter
ewes declined Csc, although some

ToRD offers two new cars for 1888
the Standard Ford V-8 and the De
Luxe Ford V.8. They are different in ap-
pearance - but built to the same high
standard of mechanical excellence ON
the same chassis.
Because people liked our 1887 car so
well, they bought more than of any other
make. They liked its looks, its smooth
performance, and the way it handled. We
have improved on that car in the newly
styled Standard Ford V-8.
But some folks wanted still more size
and style, with the same Ford advantages.
For them, we designed new De Luxe line.
The De Luxe Ford V-8Sedans are longer
with more room, larger luggage space,
and finer appointments all around.
Askov American., 1937-12-16

De Luxe cars are equipped with the s.
horsepower engine only.
The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. 1t has graceful new lines
and well-tailored interiors-with choice
of engine sizes-85 or 90 horsepower.
Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en-
gines available to every one, they were
used only in expensive cars. Since then,
four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine ENJOYMENT of driving an eight
cylinder car with all-around economy.
The thrifty ''6O'' engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models very low
first cost and equally low operating cost.
With two distinct designs, two engine
sizes and two price ranges, you'll find a
1888 Ford car to fit your needs exactly:

seller alike; so per cent of the parity
price in the case of wheat; 15c a
bushel on corn; SO per cent of the
market price in the case of tobacco;
and Rc pound on rice.
No new appropriation of funds is
called for by the bill. If passed it
would continue to be financed by the
$500, 100000 year currently avail
able to the soil conservation pro-
gram, together with an estimated
$120, 100000 year from one-third of
the customs duty collections author
lied to be used for agriculture pur-
poses on a continuing basis.
AS passed Friday, the House bill
provisions governing the application
of cotton and wheat marketing quotas
and penalty taxes would not be avail
able for the 1888 crop year. This
is because the dates on which Secre-
tary Wallace is directed to proclaim
national acreage allotment for such
groups already has passed.
In all probability this bill will be
greatly changed when it goes to con-
ference, which is inevitable after the
Senate acted upon its proposed farm
bill You will recall that last week
we pointed out that while the farm
bill we have just described is far
from what we had hoped for, in con-
ference it is possible that we will sue
ceed in working out something much
more practical.
A significant development during
the past week in the House was the
announcement by Representative
Cartwright of Oklahoma, chairman of
the Roads committee, that he would
not call his committee together dur
ing the special session to carry out
the Presidential request for with
draWal of federal roads expenditures
for the 1889 fiscal year. Action on
this recommendation is necessary be-
fore January l, if the highway aid
authorization is to be waived, as
the Secretary of Agriculture is di-
rected by law to make the appor-
tionments before that date. Once
made, these appointments, in the
opinion of many lawyers, are con-
tractual obligations of the federal gov
ernment, even though actual appro-
priations to carry out projects are
not made.
Quoting Mr.. Cartwright: "When
this bill gets on the floor it will then
be time to discuss the economy and
road building appropriation. If we
are asked to go along in reductions
for the purpose of balancing the fed
eral budget, then of course we will
accept in good grace such cuts as are
proportionate. But we are not going
to sit idly by and see road building
stopped when there are increases in
other items, or at any rate no reduc-
ton for other activities of the gov
ernment"

Yearbook are available through the
