Bring Firm Prices Here
Heavy Receipts Livestock
Supplies of livestock in both
the cattle and hog divisions were
fairly heavy here last Monday.
The broad outlet and active de
mand kept prices firm on ali
classes and the day's receipts
were readily absorbed. The gener
al market undertone was healthy
despite the growing restrictions,
both actual and rumored which
may or may not have an effect
on the livestock industry. How
ever, buyers seemed eager to pur
chase replacement cattle at fully
steady prices with a week ago.
A very few extra choice light
weight steer calves climbed to a
new top of $15.50, though the
long end of supplies ranged from
$13.50 to $14.80 on the better
grades. Heifer calves scaling
around 400 lbs. brought $13.25.
Several loadlots of calves were
sold.
Likewise, several straight loads
of yearling steers were marketed
and the price range on these was
from $12.50 to $13.50 with a few
lights reaching higher. Heifers
made from $11.50 to $12.50.
Steers averaging 945 lbs. sold
in loadlots at $13.15 to $13.35.
Heavy heifers placed at $11.75
to $12.25.
The best beef cows reached
$11.45 for an extreme top. Others
in this class ranged from $9.75 to
$11.00. Medium grades, not too
well covered, made $8.50 to $9.50.
Stock cows of good quality placed
f in the eights, with plainer kinds
\ going at $7.00 to $8.00. Shelly
cows sold in the sixes. Cow sup
plies were heavy. Bulls scaling
1600 lbs. sold at $10.00.
Heavy supplies of hogs were
poured into market here Monday.
Heavyweight butchers topped at
$12.80, with the long end moving
within a $12.65 to $12.75 price
range. Sows cashed from $12.60
to $12.70. Feeder pigs were here
in large supply and topped at
$15.10. Also, large numbers of lit
tle pigs sold by the head at good
prices.
About 50 sheep completed'the
day’s offering. The next auction
will be on Monday, December 7.

SHIELDS
This community has been sad
dened by the death of one of our
old pioneers, John Alfs, who pas
sed away Friday, November 25th.
It was sad, as it always is to be
in the presence of death, and sad
der to see the clasped hands and
still face of that fine spirit. Yet
as those words of the chant comes
over the church, they make it
easy to cancel out the sad and
stern image that death brings, and
to picture the soul emerging both
from the trials of life and from
darkness and loneliness of death
into the peace and light and
bright companionship of those
who dwell with God. John en
joyed life and everyone who was
associated with him found him a
pleasant companion. He was pos
sessed of the will to live, stood
up and worked on until his phys
ical strength was exhausted. Then
it was that good common sense
sustained him over the last sev
eral years of his life and the vir
tues he exercised. He has devoted
his many years in Pleasantview
township as a leader, among other
things to the preservation of good
will among his neighbors of all
creeds, and it gives us an oppor
tunity to take part in honoring
one who so richly deserves honor.
In spite of the unfavorable
weather, the number of people
present who accompanied him on
his last journey, exceeded expec
tations. Without doubt all were
held spellbound at his sudden de
parture, and we will miss you,
John, as a neighbor, a friend and
a good citizen. Goodbye,
EDW. O. EARLY
