WESTERN CATTLE MARKET.

Think Prices Hit the Bottom Last Week and Big Demand Next Fall Expected.

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 15, 1914.—Stockers continued to decline last week till after the rain Thursday' and Friday, and lowest sales were 75 cents to a dollar or more below three weeks ago. Northwestern Iowa and South Dakota were prominent in the buying, one outfit taking 1,000 head, and another 800, mostly of the liglitest stock class. In all 8,000 cattle went out, the heaviest movement, in a month. The cattle supply to-day is 7,000 head, and everything is selling better, fed grades steady to strong, and active, and stockers and feeders 25 to 40 higher than the low time last week. Most ol the young cattle last week went to distant points, as conditions with respect to insect pest and drouth danger were so' threatening in nearby territory that stock cattle investments were checked. A few prime stockers on the call order brought $8 last week and fancy leeders $7.85. but bulk of the cattle went out at $7 or less. If I weather conditions iavor growing crops from this time forward, it is improbable that prices will be as low again this season as they were last week. There is sure to be a great demand for young cattle this fall, and offerings on the market promise to be below normal. The .Panhandle country in Texas is enjoying extremely favorable conditions now, and as buying in that country this spring by outside parties was reduced, account of high prices, it is believed more cattle will be marketed from there than usual this fall elsewhere the supply will be smaller. A big corn crop will mean a scramble for cattle. J. A. RICKART,

Market Correspondent.

,* Gone to Buy 15,000 Lambs. Tipton county has the credit of having some of the most extensive lamb feeders in Indiana and preparations are being made to go into the business on a larger scale than ever before.

Next month, Byron Grishaw will go to Montana, Wyoming and Idaho for the purpose of contracting for lambs to be delivered next October for feeding. Last year, they bought 12,000 lambs, but this year it is the intention to buy not less than 15,000 and perhaps more.

Those who are in the business are Grishaw & Nash, of Tipton George Wood, of Windfall, and J. K. Shook, Jonas Hawkins and Fred Youngman, of near Sharpsville. Byron will buy for the entire party and each will take' their proportionate share. There will be about fifty car loads or two trains of twenty-five cars each. It will be the largest shipment of lambs ever brought into the 4tate and a great many stock feed-

FARMERS and BANKS

The farmers need the bank. It will keep his money in absolute safety without charge. "V It will pay his bills. Instead of carrying the money to people, be mails them checks. It gives the best receipt for what he pays.

This bank appreoiates the deposits of farmers, and feels that we can be mutually helpful to each other, we give a standing invitation to all farmers to make our bank your headquarters when in town.

ers from all parts of the country are watching the success of the Tipton county feeders with considerable interest.

State Fire Marshal W. E. Longley in his annual report for 1913 says: There has been much discussion of the value of the lightning rod. The statistics compiled by this and other departments and the known experience of farmers' mutuals in this and .other States furnish evidence that the lightning rod, properly placed, is certain protection from lightning. Thomas A. Edison endorses the lightning rod in unqualified terms. But three or four total losses on buildings equipped with rdds occurred in Indiana. In these instances, where an examination was made, it was found that the rods were not properly placed or that, as in one instance, they had been in service thirty years without repair. In Germany the government examines lightning rods each spring.

CATTLE FEEDING EXPERIMENT

Showed Results Interesting to Farmers of State.

Facts interesting to farmers are disclosed by the recent cattle feeding experiment conducted at the agricultural experiment station at Purdue University. Seventy cattle were used in a test, lasting six months, to determine the best and most economical ration for fattening cattle. The cattle were among the best and most uniform that have been used in an experiment at the agricultural station.

The, cattle were divided into seven lots of ten each. Each lot was fed different rations of' shelled corn, cottonseed meal, soy bean meal, corn silage, clover hay, alfalfa hay and oats straw. Ten hogs were kept with each lot to eat the refuse left by the cattle.

The cattle of lot No. 6 made an average daily gain of 2.54 pounds a steer. The ration fed this lot throughout the contest consisted of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, corn silage and oats straw. The weight of each of the steers at the beginning of the test was 986.2 pounds and I he average final weight was 1,431.3 pounds, showing a gain a steer of 445.1 pounds. The value of a hundred weight at the beginning of the (est was $7.54 and the actual value of the cattle when sold was $8.70. The cattle were sold in Chicago for $9.20. after 50 cents had been allowed to cover (he shrinkage and the cost of marketing. The necessary value to prevent a loss on this lot was $8.32. The profit a steer, not including pork, was $4.94. and when the pork was included the results showed a profit of $12.94 a steer.

The farmers of Indiana realize that they must produce more live stock, and the results from the feeding experiments at Purdue have shown them that feeding cattle is one of th.i most profitable ways of utilizing the roughage grown on the farm. ..

OBITUARY.

"And ever near "us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread For all the boundless universe

Is life—there is no dead!"

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY JUNE 18. 1914

"There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore And bright, in heaven's jeweled crown,

Mary Jane Pauley was born August 5, 1856, and departed this life at her late home on Walnut street, in the city of Greenfield, Indiana, at 1 o'clock p. m., on Sunday, the 7th day of June, 1914.

She was a daughter of the late Joseph and Mary Ann Sheets, and lived with her parents during her childhood, near the town of Charlottesville, in this county. On the fifth day of August, 1877, she was united in marriage with Richard M. Pauley, and to them were born eight children*, four boys and four girls, namely: Edward C., William Roy, Albert and Joseph Pauley Nora, the wife of William Martin Nellie, the wife of John Meek Nannie, the wife of Rankin Martin, and Catherine, the wife of Claud Custer, all of whom, together with eight grandchildren, survive this departed wife and mother.

Mrs. Pauley leaves surviving her, also, five sisters and two brothers, namely: Mrs. Catherine Kinder, Mrs. James Paris, both of this city Mrs. William Dean, of St. Omer, Decatur county, this State Mrs. Lottie Michaels, of near Anderson Mrs. Minnie Wolf, of Indianapolis John Sheets, of Urbana, 111., and Frank Sheets, of Wilkinson, Indiana.

For many years Mrs. Pauley and her family lived on a farm near Leamon's Corner in this county, where her children grew to manhood and womanhood, and where she enjoyed a most pleasant, happy home, which always welcomed and assisted those in need.

She was surrounded by friends and neighbors, whom she loved very much, and for whom she had none but the kindest word and best regard.

Her life was most devoted to her children and family, for whom she entertained the fondest hope for their happiness and welfare.

'•Youth fades: love droops the leaves of a friendship fall A mother's secret hope outlives them all." .-~i fjf—

About five years ago this noble ladj- was stricken with the disease which, after many days, weeks and months of suffering, resulted in her death, but during all of which time she was never heard to complain, by reason of her illness, but. continued in the happiness of her home and intersted in her loved ones until the end.

To have known Mrs. Pauley, one must necessarily feel, should we [have the right to judge, that she is now with the angels, enjoying the presence of the lowly "Nazerine," listening to the sweet music of heaven.

"All that's bright must, fade— The brightest still the fleetest. All that's sweet was made

turned with a siring of a dozen or blessing if one but perseveres until a one mess.

But to be lost when sweetest."

Our loss in the departure of this wife and mother should weigh less heavy upon us when we remember that it was her gain.

"Though lost, to sight, to memory dear Thou wilt remain." 18d-l-w-l

IMS ONLY ONE Will

Evangelist Preached On God's Plan of Salvation, at Monday Night's Meeting at the Tent.

A greater interest than usual was manifested at the Evangelical and Medical Gospel tent Monday night. Evangelist Lauda spoke on "The Divine Plan of the Ages." During his remarks he said: "The Lord has one and only one way of saving men. Times may change and dispensations may come and go, but God never changes and His plans are ever the same. Before the holy pair sinned against God and were driven from the Garden of Eden, the plan of salvation was provided. Jesus was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, and it is only through faith in His blood that souls can be saved. The man who brought the innocent lamb and sacrificed it before the Lord showed as much faith in Christ as we when we partake of the bread and wine. "What we need is more practical religion. A mighty revival should sweep this land and the ministry with the laity should be brought to repentance before God. There is a dearth of spirituality in our churches everywhere, all because people are leaving the word of God and are accepting in its stead the teachings of men. "There must be one of the greatest reformations ever witnessed, take place within the present generation, for this movement is announced by an angel flying in heaven crying with a loud voice that the hour of God's judgment is come. This is according to the divine plan of the ages and it is coming just as surely as the night follows the day."

II LIGHT.

AND KEPI ON 60ING

William A. Hughes Went to Indianapolis Fire and Handled Nozzle Like Oiden

Times.

William A. Hughes, organizer of the Greenfield Fire Department and its first chief, twenty years ago, can't resist the temptation to go to a fire when it is within reach, and sometimes, even when they do not seem to be in reach of the ordinary individual, as was the case Tuesday evening, when he went to the big fire which destroyed the BrannumKeene lumber yard. Mr. Hughes saw the reflection of the fire in the western sky and being in his automobile at the time, decided that he would follow the light. He did not expect to go over a few miles, at the farthest, but before he finally smelled the smoke he was at the Belt railroad at Indianapolis. He had only begun to smell the smoke and watch the hissing flames when the spirit of twenty years ago took possession of him and seeing a small man being whipped about by a hose carrying 140 pounds pressure, he took charge of the hose with his old time calmness and it took but a glance to see that he was a veteran at the business, as he deftly lifted the burning boards from the piles of burning lumber and kept the flames in check. The fact that Mr. Hughes is an insurance man, did not lessen his pleasure in helping to save property from the flames. It was getting along towards the mystic hour when Mr. Hughes pulled in home, but he was a very happy, if unusually tired, man.

West Side Mission.

The Children's Day exercises at the West Side Mission church Sunday evening were well attended and very interesting. The program rendered by the little folks was unusally good. Mayor J. Q. Johnson was present and- made a short address, as did also Mrs. Collier and- Samuel Hook.

"The saving of money, usually means the saving of a man. It means cutting off indulgences, of avoiding vicious habits. Don't forget for a moment that it is not only more comfortable, but more fashionable to have a bank account than: to have fine clothes." This is the saying of a wise man. Take the advice and start a savings account at one of the banks in the county or in this city.
