Cattle Receipts
Slightly Higher
General Trade Down as Re-
ceipts Expand; Hogs Off
Sharply; Lambs Steady.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. %, 1910:
Local cattle receipts increased when
weather turned more favorable for
truck movement and prices for most
slaughter cattle followed a declining
trend, according to the Federal-State
Market News Service Steers seal
ing under 1000 pounds sold weak to
Csc lower, with weightier steers Csc
to 40c or more down. Bulls were
weak to Csc off. Stocker and feeder
cattle weakened in sympathy with
the break in fed steer values. Vealers
dropped fully $1.00 from last weeks
extremely high levels. Good to choice
lightweight fed steers made S8.75 to
$1,000, little getting above $3.50, while
bulk of fed steers turned at $3.50 to
$8.75. Medium to good fed heifers
earned $725 to $3.50, most beef cows
$500 to $500, good cows up to $3.50
mainly, Gamers and cutters $3.75 to
$4.75, best $500. Sausage bulls topped
at $6.75 Good and choice vealers
dropped to a $1,000 to $11.00 bulk
basis, choice making $11.50 to $1,000
Most stocker and feeder steers were
taken at $6.75 to $7.85.
Tuesdays hog top at $3.50 estab-
lished new low for the year. All
factors seemed to combine to depress
the market, offerings being fairly
liberal, although not as heavy as ear
lier this month. Demand, especially
from shipping interests, contracted
sharply and local demand was not
sufficient to absorb supplies except
at reduced costs. Barrows and gifts
lost zoe to 40c as compared to the
close of last week, largely SOC to Csc
off. Sows were Csc lower. Bulk sales
good and choice 16O to 24O pound bar
rows and gifts were made at $4.85 to
$5.25, with top of $3.50 paid for choice
ITO to 100 pound lights. Butchers
scaling 240 to 270 pounds brought
$4.70 to $4.85, with 27O to $50 pounds
at $40 to $4.70. Sows earned $4.10
to $500. Pigs were dull, but little
changed from late last week.
Slaughter lambs secured fully
steady prices and some top sales were
10c higher. Feeding lambs also
showed strength, but slaughter ewes
developed weakness. Good and choice
lambs cashed at $500 to 1925, COM
mon throw-outs at $3.50 to $500.
Good and choice slaughter ewes
earned $425 to $4.75.

Finds A Ring In
Box OF Matches

Mrs. Alvin Laasch of Frazee, pur-
chased matches from her grocery
store several weeks ago, put them in
the container and the family pro-
ceeded to use matches as usual. The
other day Mr.. Laasch reached into
the container for a match and his
finger caught. To his amazement he
found it was holding a lady's gold
ring with a sapphire stone. A check
with the jeweler revealed its value to
be about $40. Apparently it had
been lost by the packer of the box.

KiWdnidns Set
Up Rood Sign

The feature OF the regular
weekly meeting of the Hardin
Kiwanis club was the adjourn
ment of members present to
the east side of the city limits
on the highway, where they err
ected a Kiwanis road sign.
The sign is made of vitreous
porcelain enamel, thirty inches
in diameter, constructed of
eighteen-gauge prepared steel
and is decorated in blue, gold,
and white.
The erection of the marker
came as a result of an attend
ance contest held during the
months of January and Febru-
airy. The membership was divid-
ed into two teams, captained by
Lee B Terpening and Homer
Scribner, and the losing team
purchased and put up the sign.
Mr.. Scribner's team lost the
contest.
Before leaving the Masonic
temple, where the lunch was
served, the club indicted Louis
Nybo into membership. Mr.. Ny
DO, formerly of Billings, holds
an interest in the Hardin Auto
and Supply company here.
The program for the meeting
of March 20 will be under the
direction of J. R. Swain.

ness men of this vicinity.

HARDIN PLACES
IN TOURNAMENT
Bulldogs Bring Home
Fourth Place Trophy
From Sectional Meet

Hardin high schools basket
ball squad, under the able
guidance of Coach Gene Garner
returned home Saturday night
from Billings with the fourth
place trophy in the Southern
Division Class B basketball
tournament held last weekend
there.
The Bulldogs won their in
itial game from Sacred Heart
Thursday evening by a score of
81 to 10, dropped Fridays semi
final tusSle to Big Timber 80
to %; took Carbon county high
school Saturday morning % to
%, and were losers in the bat
tie for third and fourth place
Saturday evening to Dillon by
a score of 80 to 80.
The Hardin team won favor
with spectators in the initial
game by clever ball handling
and several flashv plays. Bill
Three Irons and Max Big Man
showed up especially well in
this capacity.
Jimmy Jouk deserves much
credit for his consistently good
playing throughout the tourney
He received knee Injuries in the
Red Lodge game, but continued
to act as spearhead of Hardin's
attack.
Most exciting moment of the
tournament for Hardin fans
was a Bulldog rally in the last
few minutes of the Dillon
Hardin contest, when Falls
Down finally found the hoop
and sank several baskets in
quick succession.
Other Hardin boys played
good ball throughout the con-
test. Bill Three Irons and Bob
Kerrick's ability to secure re-
bounds under the basket was
especially valuable against Big
Timber, and the substitutes did
their bit in the Carbon game.
Failure to sink the ball
through the hoop was credited
with both Hardin losses. A very
small percentage of shots rang
up TALES.
Between halves of the Big
Timber Hardin game Friday the
Oronyx girls did a beautifully
executed drill which was well
received by the crowd. The
Hardin high school band also
received applause for it's per-
Torrance during the same
game.
