A GREAT SUCCESS
The Leon End Sale at The Pee-
pies Store a Success Today.

The Peoples Store demon
strated today that judicious
advertising pays about 100 per
cent on the dollar. For a week
they have been advertising a
grand loom end sale to COM
mence at their store today.
Fifteen extra clerks were hired
to attend to the wants of the
customers and they all kept
busy, too. The store this after
noon was absolutely packed
with buyers and everyone as
they got through with their
purchase and passed out the
door declared it was the great
est sale ever held in Mo. Valley.
The goods were sold at such
low prices and the bargains
were so numerous and good
that the large crowd of buyers
was astonished. The loom end
sale was surely a grand success
today. The sale will continue
until October LIST.

Crazy Man.

Jim + inley of Cincinnati
township found a crazy man
out in his yard this morning.
The man was barefooted and
bareheaded, and was down on
his knees searching for some
thig in the grass. When asked
what he was doing he said that
he was looking for his card.
Mr.. Finley loaded him into a
buggy and brought him to town.
He was placed in the city Jail
until noon, when Constable
Stewart took him to the Logan
Jail. He had a letter in his
pocket showing he was from
Sioux City.

When the balloon lit over in
a field last Tuesday evening, the
owner thought he would not
hunt for it until the next morn
ing; but before he had time to
look for it long word was sent
to him by a man by the name
of Fry, who demanded $40 be-
fore he would give it up. 1t
seems that Fry had gone to a
lady in whose field the balloon
lay and told her that he was a
friend of the balloon man and
would bring it in. In this way
he procured possession of it,
and by that means he was able
to fitch money from the owner.
The balloon was not recovered
until late in the afternoon, when
a compromise was made and the
balloon was turned over. Now
the man says it is his turn, and
ne proposes to go before the
grand jury when court sets and
see whether a man can make a
success of that kind of business.

Railway lecture at Ames

RAILWAY keCIurG al AmeS
Ames, Iowa, Sept. Is, 1904.
Judge j. C. Davis of Des
Moines, Chief Attorney for
Iowa of the C. & N. w. Ry., de-
livered his lecture on "The Re
lation of the Railways as Com
mon Carriers to the State and
Federal Governments" last
night in the college chapel to a
large audience. The lecture
was attended by a number of
men from out of town, includ-
ing Senator Warren Garst, Mr..
G. w. Daley, Supt. Telegraph
of the c. & N. w. Ry., supt. O.
Corneilson of the G. G. w. Ry.
and Supt. d. G. Schevenell of
the G. & N. w. Ry. Letters Of
congratulation on the Inaugural
|tion of the course and of regret
at not being able to be present
were read from Governor Cum
minis, Chairman Robinson Of
the Board of Control and
others.
Judge Davis gave a histor-
ical treatment of the develop
ment of the legal relations BE-
tween the railways and the
state and federal governments.
He divided this development
into three periods, the first
covering the time prior to 1850
during which the railways
were treated legally mainly as
improved highways. From
1850 to 1870 occurred the
period of the development of
the modern science of railway
operation, during which the
railways were operated mainly
as private corporations and
during which friction arose
between the different systems
ard between the systems and
the public. During the third
period, from 1870 to the pres
ent time, Governmental control
has interviewed to impose limit
ations upon the railways.
Judge Davis also stated that
at the present time the rail
ways themselves realize the
right and expediency of such
control on the part of the State
and Federal Governments. The
interests of the producers and
shippers and of the railways
are the same. The railway
systems Of the country aim to-
maintain cordial relations at
present with the public and
are ready to confer on any
grievance at all times and to
correct any abuses which mas4
be found to exist. Never has
there existed such cordial re-
lations before between the
railways and the public as now
obtained.
The next lecture of the
course occurs October 5, on the
subject Railway Accounting"

As to Farm Poultry.

1t Is very hard to make farmers I'M
derstand how great their advantages
are in poultry raising. They will say
the work does not pay, for 1t takes
their time from crops that bring more
money. There Is something in this II
one has crop which Is profitable and
which Is brought to the marketing
point at small expense. 1t would be
folly to advocate that anyone drop q
paying crop to take up something they
are doubtful about, but where there
are diversified interests on the farm
poultry can be made to pay more than
1t does.
The writer knows man who has
one acre in small town devoted to
poultry. He goes to nearby city and
buys live poultry of wholesale commits
sion men at the market price, ships
them home. fattens them and markets
them dressed in the towns near him.
Nine-tenths Of the food consumed by
man makes a comfortable living out OF
the work. This is one case of many,
and If this can be done 1t is certainly
reasonable to claim that the farmer,
who can raise the chickens from eggs
and also the food consumed by them,
can turn the result on to the market
at profit.
The one cause of failure is not un-
Outstanding the needs of the fowls and
how to feed them TO advantage. Learn
this by experience, and poultry raising
will be found one Of the most profit
able ventures in which the farmer can
engage.-Indianapolis News.
