Paid Up Capital $100,000.00 OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKETS PfECORD RECEIPTS FOR Al'GUST! CATTLK PRICES OOMTHTO ;M1 SHIPMENTS ON THE INCREASE HOGS HOLD AROUND TOP SHEEP AND LAMBS EASIER Latent Market Information by C. A. MALIiOHY, Mgr. BOWLES LIVE STOCK COMMIS MISSION COMPANY Omaha, Nebraska. Cnion Stockyards. Omaha . Aug. 29. As predicted by us last week, the receipts of western grass cattle show a considerable increase at all markets, and Omaha received its share. All the packers had "killed out" everything last week, and were free buyers, and the outside demand VII also good, giving us an active market, although prices will average 1... o r0 I,... . , i . i t. i ; ... last week on most grades. Beef steers and butchers stock suf fered most as the supply of stockers and feeders continue moderate. The "dry" sections are sending stock to market, which will have a tendency to affect the market on all kinds of stock cattle, but we don't believe this forced liquidation will be very exten sive or last long. Mr. Hoover tells us we must furnish more beef than ever for our boys and alliies. and we will be able ;.nd glad to continue to do this. Present prices are quite satisfac tory to the selling interests, although fully justified from a supply and de mand standpoint, and) also from the cost of production Ranch and farm labor is scarce even at the high scale of wages prevailing, and unless ex emptions are made under the new draft, (lie production of live stock will he curtailed. We believe, how ever, that those in authority under stand (ha necessity of Increased pro duction and thai sufficient capital and labor must be furnished by some txdy to accomplish this. Most of the range or grass sec tions tributary to the Omaha market seem to have good feed, and we be lli v.- m; ny owners will hold back shipments should the market break severely, and with the corn crop practically assured, although short of early estimates, we expect a stroni.' dein: nd for all kinds of cat tle during the fall months. Packers can well afford to buy frt nettle at good prices as the outlet Is assured for practically all they can slaughter I a .die. but wo look for liberal supplies during the next three months, and think there will be times when the markets will rule lower, but our "guess" is that we will not have anything like "low" prices for any length of time this year or next. World conditions, present and prospective, are certainly favorable for the live stock interests and we again advise our readers to play the "game" to the full limit of their judgment and capacity on their own account, as well as from the stand point of patriotism. The Bowles company hnve sold a good many sandhill Wyoming and South Dakota cattle this week: During the first two days selling 760 lb. whiteface feeders at J 0.75; 100 lb. feeders at $12.50; 1050 lb. beef steers $12.50; 1100 lb. feeders $13.25; 620 lb. stock steers $9.25 ami many others in proportion. The trade is closing stronc at laRt week's best prices for all kinds of cattle. Stockers and feeders are selling well, hut the tendency is toward a IKtta lower r.nge in prices for the litrht and poorer grades. Fleshv feeders with quality will sell well all of the time We quote Nebraska irrar.s cattle: j Good to choice heavv fat steers $12 50 to $14.00 (Fair to trood fll.OOto $12.25 Oood choice to fat cows and heifers $9.00 to $11.00 Fair to pood $8 00 to $9.00 I Wet cows $7.50 to $R.50 fanners ;md cutters . .$6.75 to $7.50 i Oood to choice heavv feeders.. $12.50 to $15 00 i Oood to choice 800 to 900 lb i feeders 9.50 to $12 00 i Light stock steers . . 8 ? r- to $10.00 i Stock calves $7 50 to $10.50 Veal calves $11.00 to $13 00 Fat hulls $7 75 to J9 50 Feeding bulls $7 50 to $8 50 Common to fair trrades at the usual discount. Wyoming South Dakota and se lected cattle generally 25c to 75c higher than these quotations. Wnth continued moderate receipts of hogs and a stronc demand, the I trade ruled active and the bulk sold I from $18.75 to $19.25 and the out- look Is still favorable for several weeks at least. August receipts of sheep and l lambs are the largeRt on record, hut i the demand continues strong and I nrices are high, with fat and feeding ! lambs selling from $17.00 to $17 65; : fat ewes $11 00 to $11.50; feedlnc J ewes $8.50 to $10.00. We expect lartrer receipts next month, and will not be surprised to see some decline 1 in prices, but nothine like low prices I any time.

Stir ull together, add one tablespoonful of salt and a cupful of vinegar. Boil one hour and bottle while hot. A cupful of apple Juice added to two upfols of ripe grape juice will make a nice jelly. Wild Grapes for Winter Use Carefully remove all the stems from wild grapes which have been picked after the frost has sweetened them und place them In a stone crock with hirers of sugar between, until the crock Is full. Cover with a donble thickness of cloth and tie newspaper OVW the cover. Keep on the cellar floor in a cool place.

Why is it that of two persons of the same age and respon sibilities you'll find one who always seems young and bony antly healthy, while the other just feels his way through life, ailing, complaining and growing old rapidly? Tlie difference Lief in nerve energy. One conserves it the Other dissipates it through faulty nerve action. Normal nerve aclion, which brings about a normal distri bution of energy in the body, is the basin of health. Those who are not always at their best, thoroughly well, virile, energetic, strong, healthy and ambitious, should let the Chiropractor,, by scientific adjustment of the spine, correct faulty nerve action. Then Nature, by normal distribution of energy, can revitalize and regenerate every part of the body to the normal state that results invariably in great material benefit.
