Complimentary to her guests,
Miss Carrie Roland and Miss

Mrs. Robert Craft entertained
a company of about thirty-five

A prettily bound volume was
the trophy awarded. Mr.. Dole

Later there was music and the
young people danced to their
hearts content. Miss Name
Thurber presided at the piano.
Delicious buffet refreshments
were served about midnight.
A jolly time was had by all, and
by no means was the walk home
in the early morning hours in
the fresh spring air the least
enjoyable feature of the affair,
which was an unusually pleas
ureable one.

It Costs Money Is Get Money.

The Daily Times yesterday
received a copy of the Daily
Alaskan, a paper published at
Skagway, Alaska. But for the
date-line, one would think the
paper published in some of the
larger cities Of the United
States. The issue dated March
% is devoted to a description of
the Tanana placer gold fields,
now enjoying a boom almost
equal to the Klondike and Nome
regions. The paper tells of a
freighter who has been hauling
building logs into the new camp
and selling them for fabulous
prices, the very smallest logs
bringing $3.50 each. The charge
for freighting goods into the
new camp is 81 per pound.
Miners are paid SIS per day,
and laborers are scarce at that
price. A correspondent tells of
a prospector who arrived at the
camp a few weeks ago, after
pulling his entire outfit on a
sled across the ice for $50 miles.
According to the published
schedule of retail prices at
Skagway, a man in that region
has to pay rather high for some
things and no higher for others
than the Iowa citizen. Timothy
hay sells for $34 per ton, oats
brings $38 per ton, while chop
feed costs $37 per ton. Ham
sells for TIC per pound, bacon
18c, flour $3.50 per barrel, evap-
Grated potatoes 18c per pound
and canned butter 35c ger
pound.

teen stitches being necessary to
close the wound. The manage
ment of the work shop in which
the young man worked had
given out none of the facts re-
garding the mishap at the time
the letter was written and moth
ing is known regarding the ma
ture of the accident. George
Arp, who left for Chicago inn
mediately upon the receipt CT
the news of his sons mishap,
had been unable to see him at
the time the letter was written.
Mrs. Arp leaves this evening

IOWA LEADS The WORLD
There are 3,574,Ol2 Cattle
apart From Mich Ccws In
the State,

Des Moines Register-Leader:
Iowa not only leads the nation
and world as a corn raising
state, but is now in the front
rank as the greatest live stock
state in the country. Accord
ing to the statistican of the
United States department of
agriculture, the principal farm
animals of Iowa are worth $277,-
410,484, or S65,0o0,0oO more
than those of any other state,
New York ranking second.
In the number Of it's horses
Iowa leads in value and is Sc
cond to Texas in numbers.
Iowa has 1,044,5 $40 horses, valu-
ed at $50 each or worth a total
OF $79,760,0o1. Texas has H.
201,458 horses, but these are
worth only $38, 90l, 293, or less
than half the value of Iowa
horses. Kentucky and Mis-
souri, featured in song ard
prose for years as the great
horse states of the nation, a1e
way down in the column both
in number and value of horses
and in Individual value, the
horses of Iowa leading all other
states in average valuation.
In dairying Iowa now stands
second only to New York. The
site has 1,390,912 milch COWS,
worth an average each of $1,000
or a total of SAL, 769,O87. New
York's mich COWS number L.
576,503 and are valued at $685.
$4,000.
Of cattle other than milch
COWS Texas has the most, the
total being 8,007,910, valued at
$3.50 each and worth a total
of $109,698,754. But in the
value of other cattle Iowa leads
There are 3,574,O12 cattle other
than the milch COWS in the
state, worth an average of
$3.50 or a total of $81, 544,655.
In the combined value of all
classes of cattle Iowa leads all
the other states.
AS a mule producer the state
does not stand high. 1t is
seventeenth with but 1914
mules, worth $3,400,365.
Sheep growing is also a COM
paratively small industry. The
state has only 898,O4O sheep
valued at 1888 each, a total of
$3,211,571 Montana leads in
the number and value of sheep.
But in the production of hogs
the state is far and away to the
front. Iowa has 7,438,655 hogs
of an average value of 1897
and a total value of $66, 724, 735
while Illinois is second with
only 3,747,OOO, valued at only

Questions answered.
l. 1t was thought silos would
be profitable for dairy farmers
in Harrison county.
2. That the farmers garden
should be planted in rows at
least forty yards long and let
the men keep it clean with a
horse and cultivator, supple
mented with a hoe.
3. The farmers should only
keep such cows, after being
thoroughly tested, prove to be
profitable as butter makers and
if Of good beef breeds all the
better.
The question as to the reason
that wagon axles are made
tapering" was answered as fol
lows by A. j. Simpson Co., of
Omaha, Nebraska:
1t has been found that on ac-
count of the gather in the
axle it is easier running and
holds the oil better, it is not so
liable to a hot box and in case
of a hot box it is easier to re-
move the box from a tapering
axle than the straight spindle,
also at the collar of the axle
which is the heaviest part is
the hardest strain of the load,
the spindle can then taper
down to the point making a
nicer appearance on the out
side of the hub than the full
sized alike would.
