Market Report
Kansas City Stock Yards,
April 26, 1920. Though hog
receipts today were fairly liberal
demand was active and prices
ruled 25 to 50 tents higher than
the close last week, top $14 SO.
Butcher cattle were higher and
steers steady to strong. Sheep
were quoted strong with no prime
handy weight fed lambs offered
Some clipped Texas wethers sold
at $11.75.
Recipts today were 6000 cattle
7000 hogs, and 5500 sheep, com-
pared with 8000 cattle, 5500 hog:*
and 8500 sheep a week ago, and
14,350 cattle, 15,500 hogs, and
10,800 sheep a year ago.
Cattle receipts today were no'
as large as a week ago, snd th -
market made a sufficient showing
of strength to indicate that tlu
decline, which prevailed lav
week, has been brought to an
end. In most cases butcher cat-
tle were higher and steers strong
The situation is that killers wii
buy fat cattle readily this week,
provided they can get shipmen-
of beef to the east without dela v.
Bee steers today sold at $10 50 to
$13.00 mostly $12 00 to $13 00,.
Most of the offerings were from
Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
About forty cars of South Texas
steers sold at $9.50 to $10 75.
Fat cows sold at $8 00 to $11 50,
aeb canners and cutters $4 00 to
$6,50. Veal calves were steady
at last week's decline.
Demand for stockers and feed-
ers continued small. Receipts
were light and there was suffi-
cient jhiprtHi outlet to care for
the supply* Prices were not
changed. Improved demand will
prevail as soon as shipping con
ditions are normal.
Hog prices were 25 to 50 cents
higher, with packers leading the
competition. The top price was
$14.50, and the bulk of the of-
fering sold at $13.65 to $14.35.
Receipts were fairly liberal and
a general advance in prices of
provisons added an incentive for
buying. Shippers are still un-
able to make libeial purchases
owing to restricted shipping con-
ditions. Pigs continue in active
demand.
Prices for sheep and lambs to-
day were quoted strong. Wool-
ed lambs though wet, sold up to
$20.25 and others at $20.00.
Some clipped Texas wethers
brought $11.75, and fat goats
$7.90. Final shipments will be
made from Northern Colorado
feedings sections this week.

Health commissioner.)
Only Few People
Escape Measles
To avoid catching the measles
sounds easy, but unfortunately
this is not as simple a matter as
it would first appear. The truth
is th.it ninety - nine per cent, at
least, of all the people born iuto
this world take the measles, the
first time they receive the rneas-
.es germ into their bodies, with
out regard to robustness or weak-
ness.
There are only two exteptions.
Nursing babies usualy escape,
especially if they are less than
v.x months' old, And once in a
•jreat while people are boin with
. peculiar condition called "im-
uunity from the measles" so that
liey will not take the disease,
vlso a person rarely, if ever, has
die measles twice; the first time |
t is the genuiae disease and the j
. ext time it is the German meas-
les.
While keeping yourself in
"good health" does not exempt
you from the disease, it certainly
lessens the danger that attends
every case. At any rate the body
that is physically fit is not so
likely to suffer such hazardous
after-effects.
Yet we still hear some mothers
say that it is necesasry for her
child to have the measles and so
the sooner he bas it and is over
it, the better. This is entirely
wrong. The yonnger the child-
ren are when they Save measles,
the more likely thdy are to die,
and the more likHy they are to
suffer severe effects from it even
if they don't die.
The most fatal age is from two
to five; 20' per cent of those who
have measles when under three
years, die. So even if you think
it is hopless to save your children
from measles, altogether, try to
save them as long as possible
from having it.
When the child, or any patient
looks and/acts as if he had an
exceedingly bad cold in the head
and some in the ltings and espec-
ially if there is a case of measles
in the neighborhood the safest
plan is to call the doctoral once.
High School Notes.

cellent work in school.
All C. H. S. is looking for-
ward to the closing exercises and
graduation of the Juniors. We
were very proud of the play the
Juniors put on (for as you know

Fresh men play will show as
much talent andjpractice as the
Junior piay did. *

Tha Convenience
Of a Check
Suppose you are paying a bill amounting
to $23 47, could you take two ten dollar
bills, three ones a quarter, two dimes and
two pennies and pay the bill as conven-
iently as by drawing a check for the
amount and paying the bill?
A check, moreover, is preferred by busi-
ness men in payment of accounts since it
is safer than currency and more easily
handled. You can open an account in
this bank—and it will be appreciated—
with any amount. You will always re-
ceive prompt and accommodating service.

Big Dinner at Leonel
Friday, April 23rd, being the
last day of the Leonel School, a
large crowd took their dinners
and went to the school house, in
honor of the teachers and pupils.
The crowd began to arrive at 11
a. m. and by noon about all were
present. Three large tables
were spread in the auditorium,
with all the good eats imagin-
able, to which everyone did jus-
tice.
Besides the patrons of the dis-
trict there were several others
present among whom was Rev.
Burch of Canton and several
from Union Graded school at
Fountain.
Thus ended another fuccatsful
year of school with Prof. F. H.
Coldiron as principal, and Miss
Blanche Goodman, teacher of
the fprimary department. Mr.
Coldiron is a teacher of real
worth and Miss Goodman did
splendid work and the children
all love her.
After dinner was over they
had a game of base ball between
the men of the district and Prof.
Coldiron and his school boys.
The score was 15 to 12 ia favor
of the school.
