Bros. buy thousands of bushels to feed
several hundred head of cattle, which
they ship by the train load to the sea-
board, and thence to the foreign market,
going over and marketing the cattle
themselves. Naturally enough, when the
farmers were selling corn at II cents per
bushel to Ewart Bros, they were not
happy, and to cheer them up Matt told
such kickers to vote for Bryan and their
corn would be worth % cents. On 'anoth-
er occasion, when a McKinleyite was
preaching the doctrine of voting for Me-
.Iitnley, Mr.. Ewart said: when i see
your prosperity arrive I'll take some
stock in your doctrine Well, prosper
lily has come, but there's too much of
one kind to suit Ewart. He is like the
man who prayed for rain and got a
food. There was some fun in putting
i1-cent corn into cattle. but only the
other day corn was sold to feeders at
sSearsboro at So cents per bushel, and
Matt doesn't know what to do, He has

The writer forgot to tell this story at
the time, but it's good yet, as illustrat-
ing the sentiment of certain class of
farmers who, during the thirty-six days
OF the hot SPELL were bound to have the
whole corn crop ruined Two farmers
met in the grocery store. "Hows your
corn?" one asked. Won't get five
bushels to the acre" was the reply.
We'll, we hope for a fair crop" said tbs
first speaker, "for we had good shower
last night ut won't do bit of good"
said farmer No. L. You'll find. instead
of helping your corn, the ground is so

most inclined to believe in the cooking

Mr.. Cummins' opening campaign
speech creates very favorable impress
sion, especially among those who OPP.
pcsed his nomination. His reference to
taxation is particularly commented
upon as the right position for the candi-
date and the republican party. But Just
the same the prohibitionists are going to
make the supreme effort of their lives to
defeat him. His reiteration of his posi-.
ton on the mulct law /. e., he will make
no effort for changing liquor legislation
In Iowa, has especially antagonized
them. Again, Brother Abrams has in
tensified the feeling among this class of
our good citizens by saying he should
vote for Cummins. and giving his rea-
sons therefor. The idea is that IL as
rank an anti-saloon man as Abrams has
so far wandered from the fold in
thought and action as to see any good in
sCummins or the republican party subtle,
seductive Influences must be at work
that demand more than usual effort.
1T does no good to say to these men that
there Is no hope of electing the prohibl-
ton candidate, and IL by chance the
democratic candidate was elected and
that party put in power by their left
handed action there would be almost
free rum in Iowa. It's useless to present
this argument. They're going to vote
for principle. One of these men here in
this town, in reply to the LOCKER n's
statement that Cummins would get the
largest popular vote OF any candidate
ever voted for in Iowa. offered to bet the
writer "a bottle of beer that he

While 1t Is certain that many people
