A e find :t necessary to call
the attention of our subpcribers
to the outrageous price we now
have to pay for print paper and
other materials necessary in get
ting out a little paper. We
have just this morning received
a bill of a shipment of paper
and the figures show that we
now pay three tiuies the price
that we paid fifteen months ago,
and other expenses are advanc
ing along in the same propor
tion. In order to meet. these exhor
bitant prices, many papers have
raised the subscription price,
some have cut down the t-ize of
their papei and charge the same
frice. The Record, however
will not be reduced in size and
the price of subscription will re
main 1.00 per year rx advaxck.
In looking over our list w
find a good number there whu
are behind with t their dues.
Some oi:ly a few months, some
a year and some longer. We
do not like to cut off, especially
the old subscribes, but we ae
confronted with u problem that
we dislike to face, viz. Shav
ing our subscription list right
down to a list of paid up or ar
ranged for subscriptions. We
appreciate you as a customer,
and we want you to stay with
us. But it had just ao well be
tated plainly one time as an
other. We cannot continue to
buy this high priced paper and
material which goes to make up
the Record and send it out with
out the pay. Now the fact is
if these arrearages aie not paid
promptly, we will be forced to
cue out a good list who are en
joying the paei- yet are r.ct
showing the manhood and
courage to come up and rav
t!ieir account.. I pay my paper
bills evjery month, how often do
you pay yours? Thi.s means
roc. I am speaking to YOU.
Now come across.

est body of feeder buyers here

er with strong demand on cat

ing side, was up to maximum
capacity today when receipts
amount to 30o00 head besides

ers, steady to 15 lower than

Best fed steers to-day brought
10.1)0, grass steers from (J 50 to

Sheep receipts were 17000
head here, and excessive at
other points, 110,000 head at six

Arizona lambs to killers 9.75 to
9.85, and to feeder buyers at the
same price. Utah feeding lambs
sold up to 10.15. Country de
mand is very heavy, as feeders

feeding lambs are costing.
Breeding ewes sell readily at
stronger prices, 7 to 9.40, with
good young ewes around 8.50,
and feeding ewes sell at 5.25 to

hogs sold at 11.15 Saturday,
highest price ever paid here,
and t he same top was reached
today, bulk of sales 10,75 to
11 10. Receipts are running
ahead of last year, but the Gov
ernment estimate of the stock
hogs in the country, showing a
decrease from last year at this
time, is a bullish instrument.
A big order buying trade con
tinues, ana packers snow as
much comietition as they think
safe, and at tlin same time pre-
vent a skyrocket market, for
they need hogs. TIib situation
looks very strong.

This is the Life.
I shot an arrow into the air,
it fell in the distance, I knew
not where, till a neighbor said
it killed his ceft, and I had to
ay him sixteen and a .half
($16.50). I bought some poison
to tlay some rats, and a neigh
bor swore it killed his cats, and
rather than argue across the
fence I paid him four dollars
and fifty cents ($4.50). One
night I set sailing a toy baloon
and I hoped it would soar till it
reached the moon, but the can-
dl fell cut On a farmer's straw
and he said I must settle or go
to law. And that is the way
with a random shot, it never
hits the proper spot; and a joke
you spring that yon think so
smart may leave a wound in
some fellow's heart.- lix.
