robable PRODUCERS

It was brought out at the meeting
that corn sold to the factory brought
an average price of s4 per- ton, and
that four tons could be raised on an
acre of ordinary ground. This would
bring revenue of s16, whereas the
ordinary acre of field corn does not
produce over $40. In this way and
in the amount of labor paid out it
was figured that within the next five
years at least S100, 900 more would be
put in circulation in Mahaska Co. by
having factory here than would be

It's realization practicable. She remained always

Trustees in 1885 She grasped, as few could. the
rapid steps which took place in the development
OF the college, gave most generous aid to Its many

There a day misty and gray
That the blue somewhere above II;
There Is never a mountain top ever so bleak,
That some little flower does not love it.
There a night dreary and dark
That the stars not somewhere shining;
There is cloud 81 heavy and black
That It has not slvery lining.
There is never waiting time. weary and long.
That will time have ending
The most beautiful part OF the landscape Is where
The sunshine and shadows blending.
Into every life some shadows will fall.
But Heaven sends the sunshine Of love;

See the beautiful blue above.

And the darkness be gathering fast

Where the home lights will greet at last.
