THE BERRY SEASON
STRAWBERRIES WILL BE PLENTI.
Full WITHIN A WEEK OR TEN
DAYS ON LOCAL MARKETS.
Cold Weather Has Delayed the Lus.
cious Fruit--crop Of 1905 Season is
Expected to be Unusually Large
Retail and Wholesale Quotations.

The strawberry season which is just
opening, will be in its height within a
week or ten days, and the local market
will be sufficiently supplied to satisfy
the usually large demand for this lus-
cious fruit The season this year
promises to be a heavy one, although
the berries are trif1e late in arriving,
owing to the cold snaps which have
been experienced within the past two
weeks. At present the southern fruit
Is on the market in small quantities,
but owing to the expense incurred In
shipping the fruit to this section and
keeping it in condition the price has
necessarily been high. Local dealers
say that the season will not be OH ii
earnest until the arrival Of the Ten
nessee ana Arkansas berries, the fruit
from these states having been delayed
by the cold weather.

STAMPS FOR DEEDS.
Are Furnished Only to Collectors Of
Internal Revenue,

The Bulletin Of Treasury decisions
published April 20, states that stamps
for deeds are furnished by the internal
revenue officer to private persons, but
only to collectors Of revenue in the
various districts, to be affixed and can
celed by them upon the receipt of
payment Of the tax and penalty de-
scribed by the statute. An attorney
had applied for 81 worth Of. stamps to
be placed on a deed of conveyance to
which no stamps had been affixed. The
deed had just been produced for rec
ord and no stamps being on the same,
1t was not eligible for recording. Com
missioner J. w. Yerkes in his letter Of
reply states that the only way for the
client to have the stamp now affixed
to the instrument is to appear before
the collector Of internal revenue, who
on the payment Of the price of the
stamp and a penalty of SO, will affix
the proper stamp which makes the in
strument as valid as if stamped when
made or issued.

The Last Call.

This Is the last call for the BIG
HORSE SALE this week at Ottumwa.
This is the Special Sale for high class
horses and while we will sell all sorts
Of useful horses, the afternoons, both
on Friday and Saturday will be set
apart to the sale Of light harness
horses. There are four or five high
bred and fast stations among the num-
Der to be sold, and anyone wanting a
strictly good high class horse at bed
rock cash figures should be on hand on
Friday afternoon. Mr.. L. B. Cremer
of Hedrick writes me that he will be
here with 18 head of light harness and
speed horses which certainly will be
worth going miles to see.
Another gentleman writes me he will
have here and will sell the highest o
ing trotting stallion In the state. Some
breeder Should secure this horse, as
high actors are the horses which sell
for the top prices. Mr.. Erbacher's. fast
young mare JOSIE" and her sire. AL
lens 2:10A will be shown at speed
and sold early Friday afternoon. |
Just had phone message today from a
Missouri horseman, that he is now on
his way here with a load of high bred
driving horses and few Missouri sad
dlers. There will be included In this
sale an unusual number of matched
driving teams. Also gentle single driv.
ers. If you want something nice in the
horse line and don't live over 100 miles
from Ottumwa, it will pay you to be
here, even if you want but one.
The point of big advantage to the
buyer in our sales is: We give you
plenty OF time and opportunity to care.
fully examine your purchase after it
has been sold to you in the auction,
and before you settle for it. And if
you then find it not as represented in
the sale. you are entirely at liberty to
turn it back, but if found as repre-
sented. you must settle for it and take
it.
This is perfectly fair to both sides
and is the only way we will conduct a
sale.
Remember the dates, April 1929. We
begin selling at a. M, on Friday.
