has been concluded, practically, to
transport him to Ingersoll park, if he
will consent, where he can address
an outdoor meeting. This park is SO
situated that quarter of million
people easily can find standing room
on the sloping hillsides which converge
in such a shape as to make a natural
smpitheater. at the lowest point in
which is stage surrounded by 5000
seets. It is thought that the presi-
dent can occupy the stage and be seen
by moro people than II exhibited at
any other point. He can be heard to
better advantage by more people at an
outdoor meeting than If an attempt
is made to have him speak inside the
auditorium or other limited place.
Farm Machinery Costs More.
The expected rise in the price OF
farm machinery has been announced
by the dealers. 1t amounts to from
five to twenty-five per cent. The
smaller advance is on the heaviest
machinery. Threshers, portable en-
gines and harvesters, for example,
will be advanced about five per cent,
while smaller stun, like plows, culti-
vators, rakes, and even mowers, will
be advanced perhaps as much as 20
or rs per cent. The circulars an
nouncing the rise have been received
by the implement men all over Iowa
the past week. The dealers have been

be no deviation from the listed and
published prices. This is rule which
has not been followed heretofore,
but the implement men say it will be
followed the coming year. The high
er price of steel is given as the rea-
son for the advance in the farm i'm
plement manufactures using steel.
The higher wages are said also to be
in part responsible.

at auction all but nine went to Iowa
men, and of those bought by Iowans
all but eight went to men who were
not breeders heretofore. Mr.. Thorn

said, was not to make money, but
to SOW the seed and pave the way for
large Hereford business in this state
