This was a good company and gave a series of good plays and vaude ville attractions.

The entertainment by Meressa Thompson next Wednesday evening at the Garden Theater is under the auspices of the civic department of the Locust club. Everyone is aware of the good work done by the Locust club along the civic lines, the placing of the benches and swings in the court house park, the institution of clean up day which was such a success last fall and they were also the means of organizing a city band which is doing good work and they have other things in view . for the future that will be of benefit to the town. Theclnb should receive the support of the general public for their good work in behalf of the town and the Garden Theater should be crowded next Wednesday evening to hear Meressa Thompson in "Re becca of Sunny Brook Farm.' Dictagrams The next president of the United States will part his whiskers in the middle. Yes of course, the next president may be smooth shaven but in that case I refuse to be held responsible for bis whiskers. In other words, the Dictagramer is absolutely neutral. - Even a broad dental display will not provoke him into an act of hostility. That is, not at this time. Certainly we have are hopes, desires and opinions: also, on very rare occasions we have sense enough to keep still. There is a lady in this town who has -two p!d hens shut- up in a box where neighbors can't see them and one of those hens belongs to some other woman. Her excuse is that two hens stay together better than! one. How very accomodating the weath-j er is up in Michigan. A recent report saia "snow enougti lor sleighing but too deep for autos." Once in a while you hear a story which consists mostly of such express ions as "tins man, ' --that other guv." That is the way some people relate a story or an incident, and when it is finished the hearer knows less about it than he did before. And there is that other style of story telling which continually em ploys the "sezzee an' I sez, sezzi" expression. An hour of sworn test imony by such linguists as the two here described will fail to bring out one positive statement of fact. As a rule, the criminal -gets more bouquets than the philanthropist. Let us prove that there are excep tions by patronizing the entertain ment to be given next week by the ladies of the Locust Club. The fin ancial profits, if any there be, will be devoted to civic improvements and this fact should commend the enter prise of all public-spirted citizens. MARKET REPORT Kansas City Stock Yards. Jan.18, 1916. After some haggling today, steers sold at steady prices, a three car drove of 1450 lb. natives bringing $8.75, the top. Butcher cattle sold strong and actively, and stockers and feeders were firm. Most of the beef steers- ranged from $7.50 to $8.40, and commonish steeis now sell at $7 to 87.60. Prime steers would sell around $9.25. Receipts were 13,000 head and carried a larger proportion of beef cattle than usual. The whole cattle market is moving onto a higher level with irresistible force, though in a slow and orderly manner. Butcher cattle find ready sale at strong prices, good heavy cows at $5.90 to $6.75, a few up to $7.25. Baby heifers, weigh ing 580 lbs. sold at $10 yesterday. Heavy bulls sell at $5.65 to $6.25, and veal calves $9 to $10.50. Cattle from the sugar mills iu the West and hay fed cattle are not yet moving in any considerableJumbers, a few 1200-1 b. Coloradosteers here yesterday at $8.00. Stockers and feeders are selling firm, and there was a good assortment here yesterday, largely from Colorado, good bred yearlings and twos' selling at $6.90 to $7.65. Stock steers range, from $6.15 to $7.65, and feeders from $7 to $7.50, a few fleshy feeders around $8. Receipts today were considerably above expectations, but efforts of buy ers to secure-a declne were unsuccess ful. Beef outlet is wide open, and is reported that packing house gangs were kept busy Sunday loading cars with beef. s H Hog receipts were 18,000 head, mar ket 15 to- 25 higher. Top price was $7.45, bulk of sales $7.10 to $7.35. It was a fast market, and prices kept growing stronger- all through the session. The hog market has beeu out of line with cattle and sheep, but it is fast undergoing readjustments. Immense traffic in pork product is the keynote of the very strong situation, with some slackening of the supply volume making it still easier for sell ers to advance the price. Average weight here last week, was 207 lbs. four pounds more than previous week and seven more than same week last year. Sheep and lambs sold steady today, numerous lots of peafed lambs, the best here at $10.60. A feature today was two cars of North Colorado ewes, 103 lbs, at $7.25, high spot this season. Yearlings went - to $8.90, though choice ones are worth $9.25, to maintain its equilibrium, and ap wethers worth up to $8, feeding lambs $9 to $9.25. The market looks top heavy, but shows surprising ability pears more firmly grounded every day. J. A. RlCKART, Market Correspondent. Things over at Charlie Steele's Barber shop came very near being blown out into the street last Monday-morning when the proprietor built a fire in the bath room in the plant used for heating water. The pipes were frozen and when the tire became warm zip a big pane of glass soon lay on the front side walk. Bursted pipes poured out a stream of water, the stove pipe was blown down and things were tore up in general. No one was injured and the damage done was particularly serious but mighty disagreeable sort of an accident to clean up after. Mr. and Mrs. DI P. Roberts are made happy by the visit of their daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman of Minnesota, they are also accompanied by their small daugh ter. Grandpa and Grandma Roberts are double happy on account of the presence of this little grandchild whom they have not seen for a long while. A. J. Johnson after quite along and severe sick spell is again able to be about and .his friends were glad to see his cheerful contenance once more. f Garden Theater Tflifocrflaii iloirm JKfrk The World Loves a Winner ' MERLE H.
