almost any other county in the
state, the county mas never In
all it's history had a candidate
ter :. sl;lte Office. and the only
Calm. il, mas ever haa in y dis
srict way was G. i. l.oofhouro~
for judge. Possessing umnum-
bered men of worth and ability
sufficient to reccomend the
county to the powers that be in
making up state and district
tickets, those powers have
banked upon the fact that the
county can be relied upon to go
republican anyway and the Sc
lections have been made from
other counties no more worthy
and not quite so stalwart in
their republicanism.
A steady diet of crow is not
conducive to political health OF
even good feeling and Cass
county republicans will become
a factor in the republican poll
tics of the state when it ceases
to gulp down what the state
bosses provide and say they like
it when even the lining of their
stomachs have worked loose.

The work that is being done
on the women's building at the
Iowa State Fair will be apprec-
lated by every woman who Wis
it's the fair, commencing Aug
ust 10Th. The women's building
is the one used for many years
for the exhibit of fruits and
flowers, beautifully located on
the hill near the old farm home.
The hall has had a good floor
placed in it and a veranda lG
feet wide and 1O6 feet long has
been placed on the west side.
From the comfortable chairs
on this porch a fine view of the
grounds and city will be had.
The women and children may
rest in this building out of the
dust and noise and have every
comfort desired. 1t will be used
exclusively for the Wome n and
children, and a matron will be
appointed who will have charge
to look after all.
Money Scarce In Iowa.
Dubuque Times: The bankers
at DEBORAH report that money
in northwestern Iowa is scarce
and that interest rates are adj
vancing. The scarcity is attrib-
uted to the sending of money
out of the state for investment
i'm Dakota and Canadian lands.
1t may be that the tax fer
rets have a degree of response
bility for the situation. Their
work has had a tendency to
scare off private investors in
mortgages and to transfer their
investments to other states. 1t
is hardly possible that under a
system for the taxation
OF mortgages, a system that
would encourage private inves-
tors to enter the competition
for such loans, our prosperous
agricultural communities would
ever lack an abundance of mon
ey at the lowest rates to be
found in similar communities
The transportation facilities
for the Iowa State Fair are to
be better, if possible, this year
than ever before. There is a
flat rate for all visitors of one
fare on all railroads for the
round trip from all Iowa sta
tions. The tickets are on sale
18th. There is a ten
minute schedule train service
on the Rock Island to the
grounds from the city. The
fair management is building a
new walk all the way to the
Rock Island station at the
grounds. The street cars take
passengers into the grounds
and they may start from the

her music from start to finish, and

come again see would receive an ova-
tion from the citizens Of Chanute.
Mrs. Boyd is resident of Newton,
where she is power for good. She

cultivation Of musical taste than all
others together. Newton, mainly
through her influence and efforts, has
become musical center in the state
