Mr. Atchison fed two carloads of hogs with these cattle, which proved a big item in the way of showing a profit. So well pleased was he after making the sale on these steers, all of which were bought last fall on the Kansas City market, that Mr.

Atchison bought and took back 04 head of good feeders averaging S20 lbs. He will graze them along until late in the fall when he will start them on feed. The Atchison cattle sold here yesterday were cross-bred Angus-Herefords. blacks with white faeese and good cattle as the price indicated. Drovers Telegram.

Each team will tie allow ed to build with outside players all they want to but on the morning of the first day of the series they must submit a list of not more than fifteen players and they will not be allowed to use players outside this list dur ing the entire series. This fixes it so no "spiking" can be done the last day to Ik- sure of first place and makes it fair all around. A pro fessional Umpire will be secured for the series and tins will ensure fair play with all teams.

We understand that this tourmi- 11 meat was gotten up ana oacKeu oy the business mefl of the town and that the Osage City team has no more interest in the event than either of the oilier teams. his ill Insure fairness to all teams alike. The games will be played each afternoon at the Athletic Park on F.ast California Avenue and the admission will lie 50c for men. 25c for women and children over 12 years. This small charge pays for both games each day and seems to us Is very reasonable.

The outside teams promise to bring their loyal rooters for these three days and with the teams all "spiked" with extra good players, there Is no t'oubt in our mind but that the games will Ih well worth attending. Anyway, it will be something a Title new in Osage City, and since about everyone likes Baseball, wo exoct to see a real big crowd out to the entire series. Card of Thanks town had to hanivss his horse and drive the old spring seat lor better than an hour to deliver a simple business message.

Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation lias said: "Agriculture cannot set itself up as something independent and apart.

In our modern state if complexity agriculture is as dependent upon the city as the city is upon the country. If organized agriculture acts wisely and sanely there will lie no cause for alarm on the part of the consumer, the business man. or even the honest straight-forward politician. Strife comes usually through misunderstanding. The success of the farmers' movement in fitting itself into the social and economic structure smoothly and with mutally lieneficial results, depends up-oi a thorough understanding on the part of the urban public of its motives and punrposes.

ATT1.MT0N AUTOMOBILE MtlYKltS.

The daily and nightly negligence of auto drivers is becoming more and more serious. Speed limits arc daily ignored. Parents are permitting children to drive cars. Cars are being driven at nights displaying no tail light, possibly 40 jst cent of cars are so driven. Others are running with only one light, others with no lights at nil, bend or rear.

These things are not only a menace to the driver and making him amenable for any damage said drives does, but Is a menace to others on the highways. People get mad when an officer arrests or even chides them for these violations. If these things nre not heeded 'do not be surprised If you nre arrested and must settle in court. A hint to the wise is sufficient. K.
