osKALoosA PRODUCE MARKET
THE MARKETS.

CHICAGO, June II
The Chicago Times of Tuesday says:
"The week opened in reasonably active
manner in financial circles on yesterday
There was no decided change in the gener-
al condition of Affairs, though considering
the season, the banks enjoyed remarkably
good days business, and were apparently
well satisfied with the movement in all de-
partments of the money market.
The markets on change were unusually
irregular on yesterday. In wheat, corn,
and oats the iuctuation in prices extended
through remarkably wide margin, though
the decline suffered all around was COM
paratively limited. Operators were in
good attendance, and as the markets were
in a condition to invite free speculative
movement, a liberal days business was
transacted in all the prominent cereals.
Provisions were generally neglected.
Grain closed as follows:
No. spring wheat 81 1917. No. 2 corn
1874 No. oats 2619, No. rye 60, No. 2
barley go.

G EFT READY.-The time is rapidly ap
preaching when our farmers will begin the
haying and then the harvest. The prom
ises are fair for bountlful vi ED, and in
stead of waiting until the last moment,
begin now to examine your machinery and
and dig out your reaper from where you
left it last year, try it and know that it is
ready for use. If not, fix it up, or bring
it to town and have it repaired, then go
shiftlessness. Time is precious in the har-
vest Season-the m inutes are dollars lost
or saved, as you waste or improve them
Can you afford to wait until the morning
of the day when your wheat must be cut
before you look at your reaper? Last year
We saw a farmer just beginning the harvest.
He had six men in the field the chinch
bugs were at work hard, and it seemed
simply question of time as to which got
the wheat and that man spent two and a
half hours tinkering on reaper that he
hitched to just where left last year; the
six hands waited-fifteen hours labor lost
when the cutting began, the machine would
not cut clean or properly dispose of what it
did cut, but to fix l., a trip to the black
smith shop three miles distant was neces-
sary, and of course, that was not to be
thought of at that time, so they went on
slashing away, the horses overdone from
dragging a hard running machine, the
binders mad and swearing, the farmer
growing at the chinch bug and everything
else but his own carelessness, and the prof
it that he was justly entitled to as result
of his toll, going over to the other side of
the ledger. Now this is not an exception
al case, by any means, and we ask, is it
business? We are led to believe that if
our farmers would organize strict anti care
less, ntislouch, anti-machine destroying,
and anti-machinery- buying mono mania So
cieties, they would feel less need of anti
railroad, anti-ring, or anti-mOnopoly soci
cites than under the existing state of af
fairs. OF course there are exceptions to
the above, but as a rule they are too true
Let US ask, what would be thought of the
carpenter who, when done his day or
weeks work should leave his implements
lying around loose, regardless alike of their
cost, and their liability to be forever ruin
ed. But mechanics are trained to care
well for their tools, so should farmers be {;
even more so, for the money that buys a
new reaper, would more than fit out car
penter with an outfit which would last
him a lifetime, whereas the reaper does
well to last eight or ten years. We say
again, lose no time in making all things
ready.

be a close one,

We are indebted to THOMAS MATTIsoN fol
a copy of the State University Catalogue.
This is an institution supported by the
State, at Iowa City, and yet we observe
that the catalogue bears the imprint of a
Chicago printing establishment, just as
though Iowa hadn't any office fit to do the
work. We make this offer to the engineers
of that Iowa institution who work for
Chicago's interest we will duplicate the
the job, making it in every way at least
equal, for less money than you paid for
that. An institution that so persistently
begs free putting from Iowa papers, ought
to leave its job work at home.
In the faculty we notice the names OF
w. G.. Preston, lecturer on Agricultural
chemistry and Sarah F. Loughridge,
instructor in the Normal Department. In
the Normal Department we find as student,
