With Price of Corn Lowerstock-
men Are Becoming More
Hopeful
CAUTIOUS AS TO BUYING
Past Experiences, Especially Within
Recent Years, Makes the Feeder
Very Careful as to Investments -
Some Cattle Will be Put on 30 Gent
Corn Early Next Month.

With promise of cheaper corn, feed
ers in the county are looking up, and
are more hopeful as to the outlook
than they have been in recent years.
Corn at 80 cents or lower, will stimu-
late the feeding business very mater
tally, and 1T is claimed by several
farmers who have fed extensively in
the past, that if corn can be bought
around that figure, Marshall county
will be feeding more cattle than for sew
eral years. Feeders are very cautious,
however, as their experiences of the
past few seasons have taught them
that feeding is an improbable bust
ness with high corn. Several farm
ers who have been able TO secure corn
at 80 cents Will begin feeding early liz
January.
1t has only been within the past few
days that corn has begun to move to
any great extent at figures that made
feeding at a profit possible. Farmers
have been holding their corn at 33 and
49, and the feeders have been waiting
for it to touch 80. If corn sells general
ly at 80 or better, feeders claim that
the cattle market will show an immed-
late stimulus, and that many head in
the county will be put on feed for the
spring market. The experience OF
past years, and especially the past few
seasons, has been bitter one to
most feeders. They do not deny that
thew have lost money. for it would be
foolish to make claims to the con-
trary. Many feeders paid anywhere
from 40 to so cents for corn last year,
with the bulk, probably at from 40 to
As. In some instances the feeders did
not get over 80 cents for their corn
when they sold, and some even had to
accept 20. 1t is admitted by feeders
that all that is now necessary, to slim
ulate feeders is a lower price for corn,
and If it does not come there will be
but few cattle fed this winter.
George A. Turner of this city, and c.
H. Ross, of Clemens, who are in part
nership in the stock business. have
been fortunate in securing corn at a
nominal figure, having just purchased
1000 bushels at 80 cents. They are all
ready making preparations to feed, and
have sixty head of steers and spayel
heifers, coming 3, which they will be-
gin feeding early next month. The
animals will be kept on feed 100 days,
and be ready for the April market.
Turner & Ross will probably feed more
than the number already on hand If
they are able to secure corn at prices
they consider reasonable.

Unit at Time.
The entire building of the depart
ment of commerce at Washington, d.

nicke elastic bookcases and filing cab
inets. Why? Because the best is none
too good for government use, and
Globe Wernicke goods are the best.
Made famous by magazine advertls-
ing, the possibilities of the unit sys-
tenn in collecting a book case have be-
come well known. Even single unit
at small expense looks well, three units
look better. five units make magnifi-
cent library case. Beyond five one can
add writing desk unit end for almost
trifing expense added each year one
can soon possess library furniture that
would have cost several hundred dol
lars in any other form and that would
be unsurpassed for elegance by any
other furniture ever made. A. E. Will

OBITUARY..
Mold.

Frank Oscar Mold, a we'll known
clerk of the city, died Saturday after
noon at g.: 13 o'clock at the home OF his
brother Charles A. Mold, All West
Linn street, after three weeks illness
of typhoid fever. Mr.. Mold had been
seriously i'll from the first, and for sew
eral days has been in a very critical
condition, Mr.. Mold was well known in
the city, where he had lived all his
life. He was in the employ Of E. Lee
and Lee & Benedict for twelve years,
and about three years ago went to
Whitton & Whitehead, where he was
employed for about two years. A lit
tie over a year ago he took position
with the Hawkeye Mercantile Com
pany where he remained until about
month before he was taken i'll. when he
went to Henry Pappe's store.
Mr.. Mold was born in this city on
December 2, 1872, and was the son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Mold, both Of whom
are now dead. He is survived by three
brothers and four sisters-Messrs.
Charles. Gus and August Mold, of this
city; Mrs. Anna Strand, Of Des
Moines; Mrs Julia Seberg and Miss
Mary Mold Of this city; and Mrs. So
phia Youngren, living five miles south
west of the city. The death is particu-
larly sad because Of the fact that Mr..
Mold was to have been married IN the
spring to Miss Amanda Redel Of this
city, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. p.
Redel.
The funeral was held this afternoon,
being conducted at 2 o'clock from the

Lutheran church. Rev. c. A. Lindvall
pastor Of the church, assisted by Rev
