CALHOUN FARM VALUES.

A. NJ. Loar last week signed the
papers selling his 294 acre farm north
of town to Charles Elsen for s76 per
acre. possession to be given next year.
Mr.. Loar will continue to reside on the
place this season. He bought the
farm two years ago for S65 per acre
so he clears nice sum on the deal.
However as he made nice thing. he
could have made twice as much II
he had sold last year as he was Offer
ed $50 per acre for the farm at that
time. This sale Is not considered a
good one for the seller. as the farm
Is one of the most valuable in this
part OF the country and In five years
will easily cover the 500 mark. II
is understood that Mr.. Elsen Will move
upon his new purchase next year and
make 1t one OF the model farms In this
part of Iowa. The Geides Bros. have
made an offer OF $50 for the John
Wartchaw farm, just east OF town, $50
acres This farm is being sold to sat
isfy the creditors and easily worth $40
per acre. Mr. Wartchaw will consent
to sell upon conditions he can secure
certain concessions from his creditors.
These sales indicate that there Is very
likely to be quite a movement In Cal
houn county lands the coming season.
Prices will not be quite as stiff as
during the boom, two years ago, but
no one will get land for much less
than 1t Is worth. There are few farms
where the purchasers are pinched
that they will sell a little under the
former price but the man who owns
his farm and Is not distressed Is not
going to sell much less than $40 or
$50 per acre. With the assurance OF
a good crop the coming year 1t Will be
no surprise to see Calhoun county
lands changing hands again at good
figures. However, it will be year or
so before there are any more spas
modic jumps of ten and twenty dol
lars per acre.

THE ROAD LAW.

There is widespread disapprova! OF
the present law. but it is by no means
certain that those who disapprove !,
are greatly in the majority In Carroll
county. Some townships are practi-
caMy unanimous in their opposition.
while there are others almost as solid
Nv in favor of 1T. and many where a
division of opinion exists. The bur-
asn of THE opposition Is from those
who desire to pay portion OF their
taxes in labor. as they have done pre-
yiously when they had plenty of time
to spare from other work There are
other objections. but as a rule these
are directed against the practical OPP
GRAFTON of the law. the work OF the
superintendent, raj Their than against the
law itself. Those who favor the four
district plan rather than one district
can attain their desires under the
presen. law, for 1t implies. If 1t does
not specifically provide, for the APP
nointment OF assistants. and there
seems to be no reason in the law why
am assistant should not be placed an
each school district If the trustees
think 1t eXpedient to do so.

The Most Common Disease.

Yorktown. Ark, Feb. 29th. Leland
Williamson, NJ D., a successful and
clever local physician says:
"There is scarcely another form OF
disease a physician is called unon so
often to treat as Kidney Disease I
Invariably prescribe Dodd's Kidney
Pills and am not disappointed in their
effect for they ara always reliable.
! could mention many cases in which /

to the case of Mr.. A. III. Cole.

larly for three weeks and then few

CDR. Williamson has been regular
practitioner for over twenty years and
his unqualified Endorsement Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills is certainly wonderful
tribute to this remedy.
