attacks Mr.. Lawson, claiming that he

Mr.. Lawson knew who would be hit by

says of Mr.. Lawson's attack:
at was the most masterful piece OF
tipster manipulation that has ever been
seen in Wall street. The mine under
the Amalgamated market had been
honeycombed with stop loss orders
placed there by Lawson himself or his
associates who had given many bro
kers orders to sell on stop 5000 shares
whenever certain points in the depres-
other executions Of orders at certain
times These stop orders acted as
battering rams in the market, multi
plying in force as they came pounding
one upon another, and Lawson hddled
on the telegraph wires all over the
country and yelled that his Amalgam-
ated Rome was burning, but that he
had nothing to do with applying the
torch. He was Nero and fiddler and
fireman and incendiary. And shame to
tell it, he was only a part Of a great
Wall street conspiracy. Lawson, in his
operations, was part of the great 'sys-

his newspaper and magazine articles"

ruE outside INVESTMENT.

Considered from all points OF view II
is not altogether such bad thing tnae
our people in Iowa, able to indulge IN
the practice, have invested thousands
of dollars in Dakota and Minnesota OF
even Canadian lands One can add W
that, that even a few investments IN OH
stocks have been good for Iowa people.
Here and there are men who have
bought little railroad stock, OF pos
sibly United States steel, common or
preferred, and are still out of the poor
house. OF course the investor that
obligated himself for future payments
on land. whether in Iowa or Canada
and depended on his business profits
here in Iowa to make such payments,
is little hard UP Just now. A few
thousand of them wanting lift at the
bank or even taking out deposits that
they used to leave in their banks,
makes money scarce, but there Is
better time coming. These debts will
be paid out in few more years and
then just so many people will be better
on in property holdings.
A few years ago the newspapers
were full Of news stories about the
amount Of money piled up in Iowa
banks. Then we actually had plethora
Of money in Iowa. Such period had
to be followed by period Of invest
ment. For a time anything and every
thing sold. Thousands Of investments
were made outside Of the state which
took millions Of money. Trains to the
northwest were crowded and packed
with land seekers. Oil stock and other
stocks were selling everywhere. In Wall
street investors seemed fairly intoxi-
Gated. There was an epidemic Of In
vesting. But 1t took only about two
years to load everybody up with piece
OF property Of some kind. and they have
felt poor ever since while they were
making their payments. In a year or
two more these properties will be paid
for and Iowa will be richer than ever
before because Of the outside income
she will have from these property hold
ings Of her people. It is true that
nearly all that money could have been
invested in Iowa Industrial enterprises
and would have added to Iowas thrift
and at the same time have continued
a boom to local business, but It has not
been all loss for her people to have
invested outside II they nave invested
wisely. Many a $4,000 and $4,000
went up in Iowa last summer and
many more will go up next summer,
which were made from outside invest
ments.

meat of eooesnuss, which grows as plen-
tifully there as apples do in our coun-
try. They are very lazy though about

The natives take advantage Of their
greed and Incidence by cutting small
opening through the she'll just large
enough for Mr.. Monkeys long, thin
hand to penetrate. When he once
gets inside he gets his hand full of
delicious, dainty meat, and his hand
is naturally wider in this act than
when it entered. Finding his hand
will not come out, the monkey scoids
aud chatters and plainly shows his
indignation at the way he has been
trapped, but never thinks Of loosening
his hold on the cocoanut and withdraw
ing his hand as easily as he put it in.
There ne stands, an angry monkey,
until the man who set the cocoanut
trap comes and tekes him captive.

came Flourishins Trees.
''People talk of the wonderful
growth of the tropical Jungle" said
Q traveller last week, ''but they rare
4y think of the wonderful vitality
and swift growth Of our domestic
trees in this country.
"There is the poplar, for instance.
Rip branches from tree, thrust
them into the ground without any
care whatever, and inside of threa
months every one of those branches
will have sent out q mass of roots
and be developing fast into tree.
Il have just passed through a
thicket of poplars in New York
state where trees of about fifteen
feet in height stood so close togeth-
er that a man could barely push his
way between them. They were all
tlourishing, healthy young trees,
with thick trunks.
"To my surprise, / learned from
my guide that this whole little grove
had sprung up from branches stuck
into the ground after windstorm
had torn them from other trees
along the road.
"a still more wonderful tree is
che catalpa, known to most boys on
account of its long bean, which
some of them use for smoking after
it is dry. The catalpa has such q
remarkable vitality that even q tree
has been cut down and sawed into
lengths again and again, to strike
root and sprout and finally grow
up into good trees.
81 saw a fence in the middle west
that consisted of straight row of
beautiful catalpas, each of them
nearly twenty feet high. The row
was SO mathematically straight that
l wondered how the trees had grown
80, especially as the row was nearly
half a mile long. So I rode over to
them and discovered that barb wire
was stretched from tree to tree, evi-
IDENTIFY as division fence. Later
met the owner of the land, and he
explained to me how the trees had
come to grow in SO perfect a line.
About ten years ago. he said,
Z wanted to raise a barb wire fence
along the line of my property to
prevent my cattle from straying.
went into the woods, and we chop
ped down lot of small catalpas,
about sapling size. We chopped
the roots off, leaving a pointed end
at the base, and sawed the crowns
off clean, thus making stakes about
eight feet long. These we drove
into the ground in the row that you
saw and attached our barb wire to
them. Inside Of six months every
stake had begun to sprout, and
since then the fence stakes have
grown into trees" - Washington
Post.
