A STRONG TICKET.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor: =
Now that our people are getting
to talk candidates, / am of opinion
that the fitness of candidates, and
their choice should be discussed
BY the people instead of waiting
on the factions to give u two can
didstes for each Office and leave
the people to select one of the two.
The ticket proposed by the Re-
view is an impossibility, it will re-
main only in the mind Of the sdi-
tor of the Review, and will die
there. =.
Suggestions and expressions of
the people are now proper, and
under these circumstances, / wish
to give my views on q ticket that
would not be imaginary, but that
could win, and if I was left to
make q sure winning ticket, /
would make it like this:
For Sheriff
Martin Ducrest
For Clerk Of Court
David Rees,
For Coroner
DR.. Arthur Guilbesu,
For Senator
II. P. Fournet. p"
For Representatives
F. E. Delshousssye,

tion for the other sppointive off,

list secretary of police jury. ]. G..
Bienvenu parish treasurer, Ernest
Beslin, jailer. Adolphe Thibodaux,
assessor, L. c. Gnidry chief depu-
ty sheriff, such q combination
would make q ticket that would
swipe the parish.
If any one can find fault to this
ticket or can offer any improve
ment on it, I will be glad to have
the matter fully discussed, ss /
am of opinion that the selection of

COMBINED INTERESTS.
The ottumWa Drug Co. AggressiveIy
Pushes Business.

Four of Ottumwa's business houses,
which have been in existence for some
time in Ottumwa and which go to con-
stitute what is known as the Ottumwa
Drug company, whose principal place
of business is Ottumwa, is made up
of the following firms: w. R. Beck 6,
Co., corner of College and Main, and
the Ottumwa Drug company, in the
Opera House block, N. F. Reed & Co.
of South Ottumwa and Reed & Orr on
West Second street, near Mclean.
This is combination of young, ener-
getic business men, whose aim is to
carry on in the several locations a
progressive and well equipped drug
and prescription business. The mem.
bers of this concern are W. R. Beck
N. F. Reed and A. l.. Orr and are all
well known to Ottumwa's citizens. They
are all men of good business ability,
thoroughly familiar with their favor.
lite calling and will be found thorough.
ly competent and worthy of public
patronage.
They have just signed contract
for years advertising in the Courier
and there is no doubt that Ottumwa
can be served by this firm with the
best of everything in its line to great
advantage. as it covers the field most
completely.

Attention is respectfully invited to
the announcements of the Ottumwa

large shipments of many kinds of
seeds, seed corn and field seeds, and
they expect to receive in very short
time a large shipment of bulbs and
other flower seeds, as well as all kinds
of garden seeds. They are preparing
for an extensive seed business this
year and are able to supply any re-

with fine twine made from the bark of

to the same process and trained into

From all accounts the rentals of

the uncertainty of the sport, another

A TEXAS FARMERS PLANT.
Too Many Middlemen Increase the
Cost Of All He Has TO Buy Be-
yond Reasonable Limitations,

I'm your last weeks issue you say
farmers should house their tools, in
elusive of 30-cent hoes and $3.50
threshers. The problem confronting
the farmer is to find the 30-cent hoe
and the $3.50 thresher.
II noticed an advertisement in
Farm and Ranch of a vest pocket
threshing outfit. 1t seemed to be
what l wanted, and / wrote the fac
tory for prices. The quotation for
cash with order came back $685.
through Texas jobber. / also have
to pay 65 cents for hoe or $6 a
dozen. So what | desire to know is
where to find the 30-cent hoe and the
$3.50 threshing outfit. 1t might be if
such prices were possible that farm
ers would have enough left to build
shelter for tools, but beg to call at
tention to the fact that farmers are
robbed at both ends of every trans
action in small way. If he has oats
to sell they afe worth 20 cents; if he
needs seed oats they cost him GO
cents. If he has wheat for sale he is
flying high if he gets 40 cents. If he
needs bran for feed he pays S1.2o,
and for -four $3.50. Should he decide
to get fair prices by buying in quan.
tity the wholesalers tell him they
only sell to the trade. With due de-
ference to Farm and Ranch, which
nf NJ lo
retailer in advertising and to whom
courtesy is of course due, the paper
has ever hit on, or at least empha-
sized the greatest leak on the farm,
and that is the ability to buy needed
things on fair basis The law steps
in and says the banker may not charge
over ten per cent. on money per an.
mum, and that railroads can not dis
criminate against shippers. 1t, how.
ever, charges the merchant small
occupation tax that practically Ii
censes him to charge any kind OF
profit, and to refuse to sell except
to the trade, in the case of jobbers
But it is the implement men that
stick on the profits A farmer can do
without things to eat, and usually
does SO, but he can't work without
tools. A plow that could be sold at
fair profit for say Sc will reach the
farmer as SIS proposition. He pays.
factory profit of say so to 100 per
cent, and retailers profit of 25 to 35
per cent. Credit prices are higher.
1t may be that cost of marketing re-
quires these profits, but it means
tax on farmers that they can not pay
and prosper. To go into a wagon
factory and be told the cost in ma
terial and labor of making a wagon
is from $40 to $50, and selling price
from s35 to $50, and then ask local
retailer the cost of a wagon and find
ii going at SIS to 500, gives the idea
of excessive profits. have hoped the
farmers institutes would take the
matter up, and I>believe it the most
question. To get value for
what the farmer sells and to only pay
a fair value for what he buys seems
to me a step toward success. In this
day of progress there is not need for
such complex arrangements. There
should not be so many middlemen
who get rake offs."-Cor. Farm and
Ranch.
