SIGNS AND TOKENS.
TCedar Falls Record,1


The Marshalltown Times Republi-
can takes hand in the discussion as
to the distinction between a doctor
ard a physician. Which term is in
keeping with medical ethics? 1t is
something like the distinction be-
tween farmer and an agriculturalis..
Captain Head, of Jefferson, always
contends that farmer is man who
makes his money on a farm and
spends it in town and an agricultural
list is a man who makes his money In
town and spends it on the farm. The
same gentleman has a sign that never
fails in telling who is boss on a farm.
If there is small, neglected farm
house and a large, well painted barn,
the man is proprietor OF the establish
ment, but If there Is a fine large house
and a shack Of barn the woman Is
lord of the place-"rules the roost"
to use the slang. phrase.
EVERGREENS AND CABBAGES.
[Register and Leader.1
In an interview last week with c. c.
Taft, representing the largest fruit
and commission business in Des
+
5000 Christmas trees are required to
celebrate the holiday in Des Moines
and vicinity, the demand for such
trees increasing every year. A vast
amount of holly and other decorative
evergreen material is also used. Re
ferring to the harm done by the fool
ish cabbage snake yarn, which had
the run Of the papers few weeks ago,
Mr.. Taft said that 100000 would not
cover the loss. Upon the appearance
of this story the demand for cabbages
almost entirely ceased all over the
west, and today they are drug on
the market and almost unsuitable.
There was nothing whatever to justify
the story, the cabbage crop this year
being as that of any other year, only
better in quality. The little worm
which started the story is entirely
harmless and may be found any year
among the outer leaves of the cab
bage. This story once started went
like wild fire, and the truth was too
slow to overtake 1T, as 1t always is In
such cases. The loss fell heaviest up
on the Wisconsin truck farmers, as
more cabbage is produced there than
in any others Of the western states.

1t is the conclusion of the Davenport
Democrat that "the state laws for the
regulation of banking need radical
revision. Those who have made the
laws" it contends" "are responsible
for the loose, not to say the reckless
methods that obtain. When the MEM
bers of the general assembly come to-
gether again they hardly need to have
their line of duty pointed out. The
private banker ought to be held to a
more rigid responsibility"

CONCRETE FENCE POSTS.
TVtnton IA e1e

L
We often wonder why useful articles
are not thought of long before they
are For all these years the farmers
have been compel to use wood posts
for their wire fences, and the conse-
quence is that thousands of cattle and
horses have been killed by electricity
following the wires. Now comes a
new invention in posts which will do
away with all this danger. 1t Is the
electrical fence post. The post itself
being made of sand and cement is as
durable as time itself and is economi-
cal in manufacture. A strand Of four
wires run the entire length of the post
into the ground. The fence wire is in
connection with this wire which is a
conductor to electricity. Whenever
electricity strikes the wire it runs to
the first post, and then on down into
the ground. 1t is simple thing In
itself and Is sure protector to stock.
Mr.. ST. Clair expects to have his
factory running by April. At or
about that time he will make due an
nouncement of the fact SO farmers can
visit the factory and examine the
posts. The factory will be located in
Vinton.
Mr.. st. Clair on his farm in jackson
township has eighty rods Of fence on
which he has used the electrical con-
crete fence posts and 1T has met the
approval of all who have examined it.
1t would seem as tho there could
be no question but that it is the COM
ing fence posts for our farmers. 1t is
a utility that has been needed for a
long time and it would seem that the
factory will be a busy place after it
gets in full action.

[Waverly Republican.
William v. Lucas, captain Of Com

never heard a word of criticism
against him from amy member of the
company and we know many of them
intimately. On the contrary, they al
ways praised him as an officer and
loved him as comrade. After the war
he came back to Bremen county and
at once became an influential factor in
public affairs. He was elected county
treasurer on the republican ticket and
held that office two terms. Afterward
he engaged In the newspaper business
in partnership with writer Of this ar
ticle, first owning the Independent for
a couple OF years and then the Repub-
lican for like period. Then he sold
his half interest in the Republican to
James Fletcher and moved to Mason

same in company with his sons. While
at Mason City he was elected auditor
