' They please the taste
great! But also—
If a cigarette simply pleased
the taste, smokers used to let
it go at that But not now.
Because Chesterfield* give
smokers not only a taste that
they like, but also a new kind
of smoking-enjoyment—
Chesterfields hit the smoke-
spot, they let you know you
are smoking—they "Satisfy"I
Yet, they're MILD!
The new blend of pure, natu-
ral Imported and Domestic to-
baccos—that tells the story.
And the blend can't be copied
—don't forget that!
Ask for Chesterfield*—next
time you buy.

Kuusaa City Stock Yards, August
20, 19X7.—Cattle receipts were 30,0uu.
head today, market 10 to 25 lower,
more in 'some cases, nothing prime
included: Hog receipt* were 6.UU0 j
head, market 50 higher, nothing
choice included, best here $19.20, but
good hogs weighing above 225 lbB.
would go at $19.40. Sheep supply was
tutii), market 25 lower, some lambs;
weighing 02 lbs. and not fat' at the
top $15.76.
Weakness set In last Thursday at
noon oa all kinds except prime tin- j
ished cattle, which are scarce, and
would sell today about as high as
any time. Aa outside buyer was to-
day looking tor prime heifers, willing j
to pay $13, but the best he could lind
was some good grass hgifers, for,
which he paid $9.71, steady with last
week. Other grass heifer^ at $8.75,
and some neavy cows at $8.75, were i
called 50 cents lower than last week.
The best pasture steers here brought
$11.75. and lower grades of weighty
grass steers sold - down to $9, light
Okiahomas to $7. These cattle arc
50 to 75 cents lower than best time !
last week. Idaho killing steers
weighing 890 to 97u lbs. sold today
at $9., Oregon cows, 948 lbs. at $8.50,1
Oregon steers at $11.25 to $12.50. Chi-
cago had 29,000 today, with expecta-
tion of only 20,000, St. Louis 12,500,
St. Joseph 4,600, too many for the ca-
pacity at their market. Heavy de-
clines are reported fifom each of liiese
markets.
Prices declined 50 cents after Tues-
day last week, and quit somewhat]
t lower than end of previous week. The
market is 10 to 25 lower today, anil
| this week should prove a good time to j
buy. Stock steers range from $6.76
to $9.00, feeders $V>o to ^-0, fleshy
steers for feeding much easier to get
away from the packers than hereto-;
l'ore, at $10.50 to $11.50.
Top hogs sold at $19.2|i today, as
compared with a top of $17.35 one
week ago. At that, the top price to-;
day did not represent the real mar-
ket, for good hogs would have brought
$19.40, more than two dollars advance
in a week. The market is 50 cents 1
higher today, and there seems to be
no stopping it till it runs past twenty
cents a pound some little distance.
Demand for pork for soldiers at the
front, puts no restrictions on the
prices. Aside from the small re-
ceipts. quality* is lacking and weights '
are light to an extent that is alarm-1
Ing, in view of probable future re-.
quirements for pork products.
The market has declined materially
from the high point last Wednesday,
when $1 .75 was paid for choice Col-
orado lambs, a sale of the best here
today being at $15.75, though the
lambs weighed only 62 lbs. and were
not choice by several points. Natives i
sold at $15.65 today, good fat ewes
worth around $1". Breeding ewes |
are worth $12 to J14. a few head of
black face ewes to a trader today at
$15. three years old and under.

SAVE SEED OF GRAIN SORGHUMS
The demand for seed of feed crops
I for late planting was unusual this'
year.
It was met by tnosv men who had
I stored need In the head and kept il 1
j dry. At first thought, we felt that
these men shuld have advertised
{their seed early. But later, it seems
I to us. that the interests of the coun-
j try were served best by holding this
| seed for late planting. Some of the
1 seed thus held was grown in 191.'
Men who put this good seed away and
held It proved benefactors, and mMe
I money, too.
j Now. the suggestion comes from
this lesson. Those who have good
1 seed of any feed crops should aelert
iss much as they can afford to store
and put It away where It can be kept
safe from rain and rats.
