that kind quotable up to Sl' flO.
Hekf Cattle
Kansas furnished the biggest share
of the run today, Oklahoma next, then
Texas. A largest part of the supply
wiifrdlght weight grass steers, on the
feuce between killers atul stockcr,
and there was some loss on that kind.
I'rlmo Missouri steers topped the mar
ket at $13.05, highest price ever paid
here on the open market. Kansas
grass steers sold up to SI 1.85, ranging
from $9.23 upwards, and Oklahoma
gmss steers to killers sold mostly at

Gone To The Colors
The Kid has gone to tho colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby,
With never a caro at all,
lint his country calls him man size,
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum
He bowed his bead to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered:
"Come!"
the Kid, not being n slacker,
Stood forth with patriotic joy
To add his name to the roster
Atid God, we're proud of the boyl
The Kid has gone to the colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
Hut now he's a man, a soldier,
And wo lend him a listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyBl,
Unscoifrged by the curse of feHi
His dad, when he told him, shuddered
His mother God bless her! cried
Yet, blest with a mother nature,
She wept with a mother pride,
lint he whose old shoulders straight
ened Was graudad for memory ran
To years when he, too, a youngster
Was changed by the ilag to a man!
