Attention Feeders.

1t is to the interest of every feeder
in this state to know the exact con-
dition OF the feeds he is using. We
are paying annually over five millions
Of dollars for concentrated feeds and
of these not one pound is being bought
under legal state guarantee. The
stock men and feeders, who are in
tere sted III knowing what their
animals are eating should join in
making thorough investigation OF
the present state of the feeding stuff
business.
By concentrated commercial feeding
stutfs is meant any article of commerce
used for feeding stock, except con.
dlmental foods, hay or straws, whole
seeds and unmixed meals made
directly from the seed of wheat, rye.
barley, oats, EIndian corn, buckwheat,
or broom corn, and feed ground from
whole grain, and sold directly from
manufacturer to consumer.
Thoroughly mix the feed you are
using and take about teacup full
for analysis. Place the teacup full
OF feed in a paper sack. In the sack
place a card upon which is plainly
written the name of the feed, the
name Of the manufacturer, the name
of the dealer from whom YOU pur-
chased it, your own name and the
price you paid for the feed.
Send the samples direct to Chemical
Section, Iowa State College, Ames,
Iowa.
Only those samples sent by feeders
will receive attention. The results of
this investigation with all ANALYSIS
and data will be published and
distributed Cor the instruction of all
feeders and dealers throughout the
state

The Texas Idea of it.

Down in Texas candidate for
political honors who is painting for
publicity of Mandatory nature, like
the fellow YOU read about round here
occasionally, is lead up TO cash
register and compelled TO pay for his
advertising the same as if it were the
virtues of patent medicine that were
being exalted. Here is an interesting
section of the new Terrill election law
which recently became effective in
that state:

paper, pamphlet or printed journal in
favor of or in opposition to any can
didate for any public Office, or in favor
of or in opposition to the success or
defeat of any political party Or any
proposition submitted to vote Of the
people when the same is published III
consideration of the recent receipt
or promise of money or thing OF value,
shall be known as political advertising
and any editor, publisher, manager or
agent of any newspaper, pamphlet or
printed journal who shall publish
political advertising other than adver-
tised matter, which shall be labeled
at the beginning or end thereof with
the word advertisement or who shall
willfully demand or receive for the
publication of such political advertis-
ing money or other thing Of value In
excess of sums due for such service at
the regular advertising rates OF such
newspaper, pamphlet or printed
journal. or any person who shall pay
or offer to pay the editor, publisher,
manager or agent of any newspaper,
pamphlet or printed journal any
money or thing of value for the publ
cation of political advertising, except
advertising matter, shall be punished
by fine of not less than $500 nor
more than 81 1000 and sentenced to
Imprisonment in the county Jail or to
work on the county roads not less
than ten nor more than thirty days:

herein contained shall be construed
as applying to announcements CT

KMBALL COMPANY
SAY COME AND GET A
PIANO on YOUR OWN TERMS

A genuine closing out sale of the J..
G. harvested stock of Pianos and
Organs commenced at 3 O'Clock Satur-
day morning, January 6tn, and the w.
w. Kimball Co., of Chicago, establish
ed in 1857, make prices and terms 81
low that there is no excuse for anyone
going without fine piano any longer.
Remember in this event the manu-
facturer makes the sacrifice in price,
which discounts and double discounts
the lowest possible price any ordinary
dealer could offer prospective buyers.
Terms will also be reduced proper
tionately with the prices, for the
pianos must be sold at once with the
shortest period OF expense possible,
and this means every piano sold at cost,
and even less in some instances, in
order to close up this business with
out delay. The fixtures are for sale
and everything in the store can be
bought for a song, so to speak, COM
pared to their true value.
This is bona fide closing out sale.
and if you are in need of an instru.
the next five years, make haste to our
warerOoms and ascertain just what
you can do, and how much you
actually save in the purchase of fine
piano if you only but use sufficient
exertion to at least act promptly and
avail yourself of the choice selection
during the early part of this sale.
The reputation of the w. ". Kim
ball 60. and their World Renowned
Pianos is alone sufficient evidence of
getting the real ordinary worth of
your money and altogether salts
factory transaction in purchasing an
absolutely high grade and dependable
piano at this sale.
Look at the piano question from the
other standpoint, and reason why it
is the other dealers endeavor to
convince YOU that some other piano
you have never heard of is Just as
good, and can be bought for less
money. During this sale, however,
while we have standard made pianos,
the prices will he lower than even
pianos of cheap grades, and no re-
putatiOns are being sold you at retail
today.
We could quote some verv low prices
and talk about the pianos sufficiently
tuOuSn W dttIdCb StIdy puTclidSeT
here and there, but we are right here
among you with the goods nicely
displayed in our warerooms, and prices
are marked plainly OH every instru-
ment, which is conclusive as to price.
and as previously stated, terms can
be arranged to accommodate everybody
with honest intent desiring first
class piano.
This opportunity is open to all and
there are pianos to suit all-from a
square to practice on to high grade
Art Piano. For the benefit of those
who are employed during the day we
will keep the store open evenings until
8 80.
Come right in and satisfy yourself
as to whether or not you want one of
these bargains before its too late and
they are all taken.

Hats off for the Man Ahead.

In every newspaper we pick mp we
are sure to find lot of gush about the
man behind the corner and the man
behind the gun, the man behind the
buzz saw and the man behind his son,
the man behind his rents, the man be-
hind the fence, the man behind the
bars, the man behind the kodak and
the man behind his whiskers and the
man behind his fists, and ything
behind is entered on the lists.
They skipped another fellow Of
whom nothing has been said, the
fellow who is even or little way
ahead, who always pays for what he
gets, whose bills are always signed,
he's blamed sight more important
than the man who is behind. All we
editors and merchants and the whole
commercial plan are indebted for
existence to the honest man. He
keeps us all in business and town
is never dead, and so we take off our
hats to the man who is ahead. Elk.
The demand is rapidly growing
throughout the country for the
publication in detail of financial
statements of school boards so that the
public may know how their money is
being spent. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars are spent yearly in each
state for school purposes, and no
means are provided for the general
public knowing what the money goes
for. Had this law been in effect the
big Dougherty steal at Peoria would
not have occurred, and who knows but
what others may be doing the same
thing. The public is entitled to know
this as much as they are where the
county funds go.

pyre extended up to a height OF five
feet, leaving the body In the center

started under the pyre with pitch
wood and soon all was ablaze. AS
soon as II got to burning one of the
Hindoos took. dipper OF the melted
butter and poured 1t on the flames,

entire time and when the body had
been reduced to ashes, the ashes were
