Wednesday, June 5, 1940 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Live Stock Reporl (B> Dunn & L«vack) On Mumluy, cuttk' pi'iccs advanced to a new hijfli for the year, some choice weghty steers selling at 8.75, and the balance of the sales were steady to strong on all other classes of cattle.' Lambs were steady at 13.75 for choice. Hojfs sold on live grade at 8.25. Choice weig'hty steers ranged from 8.26 to 8.76, fair to good 7.50 to 8.00. Choice butcher cattle were in strong demand at from 7.50 to 8.00,, fair to pood 7.00 to 7.40, common to medium 6.00 to 6.75. Choice baby beeves were steady at from 8.50 to 9.00, fair to good 7.50 to 8.25. Stockera and feed- ers were in light supply, and best selected kin<i brought 6.76 to 7.00, medium 6.00 to 6.50. Cows were, choice from 5.60 to 6.00, fair to good 4.75 to 5.25, common to medium 4.00 to 4.50, canners and cutters 3.00 to :i.5U. Choice butcher bulls brouxhl from 6.00 to 6.50, good heavy bulls 5.25 to 5.50, common light bolognas 4.50 to 5.00. Choice spring lambs bi-ought 13.75, with those of good (luality 11.00. Un- fuii.^hed lambs not waiite«i. Prospects are that i)rites will work lower, as soon as lambs begin to come forward in larger numbers. Choice sheep brought 4.00 to 5.00, others downward to 3.00. Choice veal calves sold at from y.50 to 10.00, tops at 10.50, fair to good 8.60 to 9.25, common to med- ium 5.50 to 7.00. Hogs held steady at 8.25 live grad- ed, and on the rail basis at, various prices. Sows were in heavy supply and prices unsatisfactory. Pro.spects are that hog prices will be higher, as commission salesmen are working hard to secure an advance. Bees were brought to America from Europe and the Indians called them "white man's flies."

Dr. and Mrs. Em Armstrong and son, Peter, of Cobalt visited for a couple of days last week with the former's sister, Mrs. F. H. W. Hick- ling, and Mr. Hickling. .â- shapes were tried on until a suitable selection was made. After tiiat the question of the most appropriate adornment in the way of tiimiiiing' had to be decided, ' It was at this juncture that quilU, feathers, plumes, ribbons, aj-tit|clal lloweis and orname:Us ol many kinds came into play. When every detail was satisfactorily tr-.'ated, the milliner made entries in her note book, added the names to her list Jind arranged a cUue for "try ons." Oftentimes the milliner with her staff of assistants, numbering as many as eight young women, would have the names of more than a hundred of those who were wanting hats sooner than they could possibly turn them out. In the spring season, which was usually April and May, the girls would come back to work at least every second night, and with deft fingers ply needles and thread, and manipulate trimmings until nearly 12 o'clock. The delivery boy on different occa- sions on Saturday nights was more than a mile from the store at mid- night taking hats to customers that had been promised in time for Sunday wear. And at times, hats would be taken to homes on Sunday morning. The d'ilivory boy did all his going and coming on foot, and at times would be on hand at 5 o'clock Monday morning to pack th3 butter that had been received Saturday. The girls would appear at the store to work at night with an air of gen- tility, but as time wore on, expressions changed. They would i-.tart trimming smart straw hats or buckram shapes, say with ribbons; arranging and re- arranging, trimming and untrimming. for the bows were tied and untied, taken off and put on, and taken off again, with a look of impatience and discontent. No longer do girls enter the work- room in some store in the smaller towns to learn to make shapes and trim hats. The hats are, for the most part, made in factories in the city: then they are distrib;ited among stores throuhout the country, where merch- ants display them in windows and on stand.s and Sfiek efficient salesladies to sell them. No longei does a delivery boy go hither and yon afoot delivering hats in paper baits and band-boxes; n» longer does he put oil ia lamps and trim the wicks to b'J ready for use itt the worki-oom; no longer doe? he wit- ness milliners impatiently at work on headgear while the clock is nearinif the hour of midnight. It is true that stores still keep open just as late as ever, but the fact is that the system of business is conduct- ed on an entirely different basis to what it was 50 year; ago. Human nature is such that women of today may still look upon a becom- ing, fashionable hat as being the crowning .7lory of their spring ap- parel, but all they have to do is walk into a store where up-to-date hats are on exhibit, choose something to their liking and walk out with it on.

SPRING HAT YEARS AGO TRIAL TO FINGERS AND NERVES At this time of year, 50 and more years ago, when housewives in the country and villages had spring sew- ing done or well underway, including cottonadj or denim amocks and pants for men and boys, print and gingham dresses for the girls, their thoughts invariaJbly turned to something consid- ered in the light of luxury, namely, headgear. A new hat seemed just as indispens- able then, perhaps more so than it is today. Fingers apt enough to handle needle and thread for what they called plain sewing, were handicapped and not nimble enough, and minds appeared not original enough to conceive suit- able ideas to manipulate fabrics, feathers, quills and ornaments to give the finishing touch to Sunday's best apparel, a fashionable and at the same time, a becoming hat. 'Wonrien would vie with one an- other in their ende.ivors to produce somethine distinctive in the way of sunbonnets for everyday use, but as they were all fashioned from patterns of similar style, any striking diflfer- ence was seen in the colors and design* of the ca'ico or print from which they were made. But the important thing, the "Sun- day bonnet" was seldom, if ever, homemade. To get what was considered "proper style," women came long distances to what we will call our town, namely Flesherton. The usual conveyance by which cus- tomers came to town was with horse and buggy. Country folk not infrequently drove I up to the stores or shopping places in wagons. But whether they came in buggies or wagons, it was the excep- tion when they did not bring with them to trade for merchandise, crockn and firkins of butter and baskets of c?gs. .And when the matter of the new hat was up for consideration, they went to the millinery department of a dry goods store, where they were met by a milliner who seated tliem before a mirror where buckram and other FOR SALE â€" 100-acre farm two miles south of Flesherton on No. 10 Highwray, near the Red School. â€" Apply *o Mrs. M.
