SLOWLY IN
FEEDE
RUSII FOR CATTLE TO FEED
MAY BOOST PRICES TOO HIGH.
BERESFORD WARNS
Although many indications point
to increased catlle feeding next year
and high prices for feeder cattle,
Iowa farmers should consider all the
factors which comprise the cattle-
feeding picture before purchasing
western range cattle now.
This advice comes from Rex
Beresford, Iowa State College ex-
tension cattle specialist. He points
out that while the 750-million bush-
el corn carryover, the prospects for

remember that comparatively few- en from the wilderness,
er range calves were purchased last
year, and these calves were held on
the range, Beresford asserts. "These
calves now are yearlings, and west-
ern cattlemen are likely to carry
this year's calf crop over again and
sell the yearlings."
Watch Yearling Prices
This is of significance because it
may make a wider price spread be-
tween yearlings and calves during
the late summer and fall, and year-
lings may be at better buy, the
specialist says.
At any rate, Iowa farmers may
find it profitable to wait, or at least
to proceed with caution when pur-
chasing feeders now, rather than
becoming "shaky" over prospective
skyrocketing prices and thus creat-
ing a sudden upswing in demand,
Beresford believes.
"When the price which must be
paid for feeders is too high, the
eventual outcome of the year's feed-
ing project frequently is disappoint-
ing," the specialist warns.
Railroa--d- sts
Cooperation Of
Others For Safety
C. &. N.W. station agent, John
Klimo, was very concerned over an
incident which occurred last Thurs-
day afternoon. A large building
was moved across the railroad
tracks on First avenue north with-
out permission from the railroad.
A. serious accident might have oc-
$ curred if the eastbound train, No.
12, had been on time. The build-
ing covered both tracks and had
tbe train been on time it would
have had no warning the tracks
were not clear. Mr. Klimo says
tbe company is very glad to co-~
operate and would have gladly
had a flagman on duty as a preven-
tative measure for their own good
as well as the safety of others. In
Thursday's case, if an accident had
occurred, the railroad would have
been released from any blame, ac-
cording to Mr. Klimo.

Schrader Faces.Test
At All-Iowa Fair
Hero of countless speed battles
and recognized as the king of all
dirt track auto race drivers, Gus
Shrader of Cedar Rapids faces de-
thronement this year, A. R. Corey
of ]Des Moines, told Manager
Charles D. Moore of the All-Iowa
Fair today.
Schrader, who is to defend his
title at the All-Iowa Fair on Sun-
day, August 10, is equipped with
the finest racing machines that
money can buy. But so will several
other drivers who will challenge
him on the Hawkeye Downs oval
~'here for years he has dominated
speed competitions.
Sehrader is aging, Corey points
out in predicting that the Cedar
Rapids man will lose his laurels to
younger and more aggressive stars.
He has remained undisputed cham-
pion longer than any other driver
in history, including the immortal
Barney Oldfield who won his fame
by being the first man to drive a car
faster than 60 miles an hour. He
has set new world's records on
dirt track more often than any
other driver and when they were
lowered he has always came back
[and reclaimed them.
The present world's mark of 24.64
seconds was established by him in
Des Moines last year. That iS the
mark he hopes to lower at Hawk-
eye Downs on August 10.
While Schrader has readily met
', all comers for years and nsually
defeated them with little trouble,
tit will be a different story this year,
Jimmie Wilburn, won five times out
of six encounters with him in the
spring Des Moines events, though
he did not have an easy time of it,
and more sensational driving has
hover been witnessed on a motor
racing course.
If Schrader can come out of the
All-Iowa Fair auto races on August
I I 0 the victor he will have achieved
the most remarkable feat that the
iS " ,
i~ peed game has seen, Corey relat-
led. Every great American racing
circuit will be represented by a chal-
lenger and the fastest cars in the
world will be pitted against him.

"Thrill Days"
For Iowa State Fair
Des Motnes, In Special: Captain F. F. Frakes, who crashed an air-
planb into a house to provide one of the biggest thrills of recent years
t for Iowa State Fair audiences, will returned on two days of this year's
state fair with a new repertoire of hair-raising stunts, officials announced
here today. Frakes and a dozen other daredevils, will be featured in
two afternoon "thrill day" programs on Saturday, Aug. 23 and Thursday,
Aug. 28. Head-on automobile collisions, crash rolls, auto broad Jumping,
"dive-bomber" crashes, suicide leaps, and numerous other thriIlers will
be included in the two days' events at the fair. Above is a view of
Frakes crashing one car into another at 60 miles an hour. Other after-
neon headliners will be three days cf ante races and three days of horse
races and rodeo.

There's nothing mysterious about the
way advertising works.
It's like the salesmen who go from house
to house looking for customers.
Advertising does the same job on a
larger scale.
It's quicker--reaches more people---at a
lower cost per call.
In other words, it's a time saver, which
means it's a money safer as well.
