Adjournment of party poli
tics for a time might be all right
if the adjourning is not all on
one side.

The president is pictured at
the executive desk in shirt
sleeves. Being president is
something of a sweating job just
now.
Designers of ladies footwear,
having exhausted the fountains
of utility and art, now bring out
some amazing monstrosities as
substitutes for shoes.
Back to the horse and buggy,
but who’s going to drive them?
This generation knows about as
much about handling horses as
they would elephants.
Unlovely features cannot be
helped but hideous features can
be clothed. If printed pictures
in the papers are true to life,
India’s chief trouble maker ought
to scare the daylights out of any
invading soldiers.
Mr. Wallace says the close of
the war must mark the begin
ning of the “century of the com
mon man.” Hasn’t our country,
hasn’t the world, had enough
of what the “common man” and
the super man can do? Try the
fellows in between.
The rainbow holds not a pot of
fjk gold at either end but something

vine assurance that “while the

harvest, and cold and heat, and
summer and winter, and day and
night shall not cease.”
The near notables are put into
braided uniforms, while Joe
Lewis makes the greatest sacri
fice of them all. The dark-skin
ned patriot said about all there
is to be said when when he went
into the ranks of the buck priv

self now.”
Testifying at the trial of a 17
year-old in Chicago who killed
his girl companion in a theatre,
a university gentleman profes

schizophcema, producing fantas

understandable words, he hath
a devil.
A school picnic closed a very
successful term of school in Dis
trict No. 243, with Miss Mary
Ann Winkler of Atkinson as
teacher. Miss Winkler had 16
pupils and all eight grades, with
four eight graders who passed
with hifgh averages. Phyllis
Friedrich received an average of
96%. We all hope to have Miss
Winkler with us again next year.

John Olpen sends me some
pictures of what they call in
Idaho the Kootenai rainbow
trout that would make Jim Dav
idson start for the Gem state
lakes on sight of them. One gent,
with a smile of which only a
fellow who has landed a big one
is capable, holds a 12-pound
speckled beauty before the cam
era. When they come from the
water like that, the measly bull
head has no standing among the
rod and reel fraternity.
The first line of the introduct
ory paragraph to the Kid Wade
story should have read fifty-eight
years instead of thirty-eight.
Among a list of several less no
torious figures in the old Turkey
creek country, including A1 Hile
man, the Hills and several oth
ers, the daring young Wade was
the only one to leave to mem
ory’s heritage a record that still
lives on with the old timers in
story if not in song. The viga
lanters composed a crude song
which paid blasphemous respects
to Sheriff Barnabas Welton, B.
I S. Gillespie and some other res
I pected citizens, but its only merit
was that it died an early death.
streak of gold flashed thruj
pg^ie air from a tree top and a j
dainty Canary bird alighted byj
a pool of water in the road.
Then another flash from off a■
ife' I
tree limb and the second bird
alighted, and then two more.
Four of them, dainty creatures
of the air adorned with nature’s
lovliness. The yellow-feathered
mites, each with a spot of black,
were a contrast in colors and
animated life to the dead puddle
of muddy water where they
sought drink. And as they came
they returned one by one to the
top of the highest tree. Then
a bit of song. I will watch that
tree top expecting to discover the
home refuge of two families of
canaries.
In the grand old state of Mich
igan again heads are raised in
opposition to a decree from
Washington. The state officially
rejected the plan of setting clocks
ahead one hour. Now a group
of farmers have concluded that
laws regulating the amount of
wheat that may be grown are
unconstitutional, in effect enforc
ing ’’involuntary servitude,” and
go to court about it. They
reason that if the government can
do this, then it can tell the farmer
how many babies he can raise.
I do not understand the mechani
cal mysteries of the radio, gear
shift and carburators on cars or
the amazing ramifications where
by our farflung farming indus
tries can be managed from an
office on the Potomac.

Livestock Prices
Continue Strong
The current demand for all
kinds of livestock remains brisk
and the action at the local auction
last Monday was accelerated by
keen competitive bidding by the
buyers assembled here. Prices
ruled fully steady to strong with
a firm undertone dominating the
market throughout. Receipts were
heavier than a week ago despite
the fact that farmers are extreme
ly busy with their planting at this
time.
The toppiest steer calves sold at
$14.40 but the supply of these was
limited. Bulk of the steer calves
paid from $12.50 to $13.85. Heifers
in this class cashed mostly from
$10.50 to $11.50 and above.
Yearlings were in fairly good
supply and the steers bulked at
$11.00 to $12.00 on the lighter
weights. Heifers of similar qual
ity and weight sold from $10.00 to
$11.00 with a scattered few reach
ing a little higher.
Cow prices assumed added
strength as the bulk of the entire
offering of beef cows sold from
$9.00 to $10.00 with a large per
centage placing in the upper brack
ets. Most of the commoner grades
paid from $8.50 to $9.00. A con
siderable number of stock cows
were sold by the head and brought
good prices. Bulls topped at $10.10
with the bulk selling from $9.75
to $10.00. Bull supplies were rath
er limited.
The receipts were not quite as
heavy as last week; however, a
total number of more than 400
head were sold here. Prices follow
ed the current trend closely as
an extreme top of $13.95 was paid
for a few extra choice butchers
weighing from 180 lbs. to 210
lbs. Bulk of the butcher offering
cashed at $13.85 and $13.90. Sows
sold from $13.55 to $13.75. Choice
gilts weighing from 200 lbs to
220 lbs. brought from $14.10 to
$14.40. Feeder pigs averaging 80
lbs. reached $15.10.
