Joseph W. Folk, the st. Louis lawyer
who seeks nomination for governor on

den 1000 miles on the railways and 300
miles in stages and carriages; had rest
ed on an average Of but seven hours q
day, and had addressed about 100000
people. This is not the first exhibition
OF endurance Mr.. Folk has made,
When he ran for circuit attorney he
visited every ward in st. Louis and FREE
quontly spoke four times in en- evening.

A late estimate gives the average
size OF Iowa farms at ninety acres. This
is material decrease, as formerly 100
acres was titled by large majority OF
farmers. But farming like all other
kinds OF business is being conducted
on . different scale. Competition is
making all kinds Of changes, and the
well titled small farm is bringing in
larger returns than the neglected large
farm.
