Wednesday, April 12, 1939 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Live Stock Report (By Dunn & Levack, Toronto) Monday's cattle market could be regarded as fairly satisfactory, con- sidering the fact that American mar- kets were inclined to be easiscr. Early sales were possibly a little better, compared to the latter part of the day and altogether, 3,U0U cattle arrived. The trade did not respond for weighty steers as well as it might have, while choice butchers and cows maintained steady prices. The hog maret held steady, in spite of lower offers from local buyers and mosts of the hogs were shipped to outside points. Choice weighty steers brought from 7.25 to 7.50; fair to good from 6.70 to 7.25. Choice butcher steers and heifers sold from 6.50 to 6.75, with a few tops at 7.00; fair to good from 6.00 to 6.50. Choice baby beeves, weighing around 800 lbs. or better, brought 9.00, while good to choice of lighter weights ranged from 8.00 to 8.50 those of medium quality from 6.50 to 7.50. Stockers and feeders held strong. Choice heifery cows brought from 5.26 to 5j50; choice heavy cows 4.75 to 6.00; fair to good from 4.00 to 4.50; common to medium 3.60 to 4.00; canners and cutters from 2.75 to 3.25. The bull trade was slow choice butcher bulls from 5.00 to 5.25 and heavy bulls 4.50 to 4.75, with a few extra choice at 4.90. Lambs held steady at 9.00, with choice sheep 5.50. The calf trade was slow on account of Jewish holidays, choice from 9.75 to lO.OO; fair to good from 8.50 to 9.50; common to medium 5.50 to 7.50. Hogs sold at 8.75 for truck deliver- ies, with sows at 6.50. Prospects for the balance of the week would be gov- erned entirely by supplies.

MAKE YOUR LIVESTOCK PAY? ^ ship to Dunn & Levack Limited Canada's Leading Livestock Salesmen Union Stock Yards, TORONTO YOU"LL BE AHEAD IF YOU SHIP TO US FAITHFUL SERVICE SINCE 1893 GRAVE DIGGING I WITH TEETH j (By I. H. P.) j Remember when we were going to get a licking? It was going to hurt them more than it would us. Per- haps there was something in it. It took a lot out of them to lick a big bully. Perhaps a little strategy would have been less exhausting. For after all the bully was still the bully. Leadership Leagues and taxes and business and the date of the Sunday School picnic are unimportant now until we see how much this licking the bully shall take out of us. It is just as easy to square ourselves and show Adolf, the bully, the itching muscles of our boys as it is for an indulgent government to spend the other fellow's money. It makes us feel like a big shot. Why shouldn't we spank him while we're good and mad ? Surely the rest of the world is smarter than one Adolf Hitler, "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." Licking the bully would cost more than could ever be recovered in a million years. And when the bully was licked he wouldn't be worth his salt to us for several decades. But if you don't yell for the bully to get a good licking, you're a coward. You are not a big shot. Cool brains are more in demand now than hot muscles. Enough pessimism and hysteria has accumulated to provide a satanic hue to all the races â€" except those non- chalant ones who were born black. Time was when Napoleon was doing the same thing as Hitler is doing now, He marched them up the hill and marched them down again until they had marched to Moscow. Russia got behind the straw stack and laughed. Napoleon's poor old army got them- selves frozen to death on the way back because they couldn't see the sunny side of the straw stack. Na- poleon was licked by an extremely inexpensive method. The German Fuehrer has been stuf- fing himself with indigestible things â€" things that would be healthy enough for a Democracy but fatal to a Dic- tatorship. Perhaps we could afford to let him continue his fool stunt. We m\ist not forget that he has first gorged himself on some indigestible Germans. How many, he has no way of knowing. Then he gobbled more indigestible things in Austria and in Czecho-Slovakia. And now, in a temper, he is attempting Polish con- coctions. Ugh! 'What if on top of that he loads up a skin full of French wines and those unpronounceable French dishes. And on top of that a washtubful of English fish-hooks, India untouchables and Italian spaghetti, and then at- tempts a load of Irish stew. By the time he arrived in Canada for des- sert, his Dictatorship would be con- siderably changed. Everybody would bo so democratic that he and Tim Buck and Mister Hepburn would be among the joint leaders in the Lead- ership League. Canada's power would still be dry and every Canadian man and boy would be maintaining^ the ac- tive and enviable position of bein^ neither victor or vanquished. Be- tween which there can be little choice â€" if history is to be believed. Democracies at war soon develop into Dictatorships; rightly or vvrongly free speech goes to the doghouse. So what. Talking about spring cleaning and stomach aches is a reminder of the timid soul who, guilt or not, was always ready to take the blame for ail accidents happening on the prem- ises. Every spring at house cleaning time the old lady moved the powder and shot and his old gun caps from one shelf to another. The old man would never use the muzzle-loader now, so she would get rid of the truck. She carried them out to the end of the wood pile and dropped the stuff into a deep, dark hole. A few days later the old man sat peek- ing out through the augur holes in the door, then lighted his pipe and quite innocently hitched over and drop- ped the lighted match in the hole. When he had been dusted off and brought back to consciousness, he was asked what happened. The poor, tim- id old soul said "It must have been something I et." Or maybe Adolf will be like the Englishman at the Frenchman's Soi- ree, where he had enjoyed several helpings of roasted muskrat pie. As he was feeling very happy about the whole thing and complimenting the chef, he happened to ask what kind of meat he had been served. "You didn't know eh?" asked the cook. '"Why, dat's"rat." That rat seemed all at once to come alive in the Englishman's stomach. He dropped unconscious. The rats left the ship on their hind legs and never returned. A Jew was asked if it was some- thing they ate that made them so smart. He confidently admitted the fact and sold the Gentile some of the stuff at two dollars a pound. The old lady, when cooking it, re- marked that the stuff seemed just like ordinary fish. He thought so too, and told his wife what he would do to the Jew. But the Jew replied "Vat I tell you? See, you vas getting smart already." It is so exasperating to find other people using their brains. Surely, as an alternative' to the never ending moans of a world war, Adolf can be outwitted by some magician. This column clutter-upper is now inclined to the nopiion that it must be nearly time to go fishing â€" ^that "discretion is the better part of valor." Local and Personal Artemesia township council meeting for April has been postponed to April 17th, due to the illness of the Reeve and the serious illness of his father. The St. Catherines Standard be- lieves if profiteering is to be taken out of war, then during the next one â€" if it comes â€" we shall be able to afford a few more honorary colonels. t t t ? t t T t T T t t t T T t t J T t Special Offerings From Hill's ^ COLORFUL COTTON PRINTS Colorful Cotton Prints, width about 24 inches.
