towns where large stores, with COM
plete stocks and hustling advertisers
have very little difficulty getting the
business?
A case came to my observation only
few days ago A farmer had select
ed from samples bill of carpets which
he wished to buy from his mail order
house. but when he went to town call
ed on his merchant with them, and in
looking over his stock took out his
samples to compare them; upon being
questioned admitted where he got
them. The merchant said that he was
going to Chicago that week to buy
goods and took those samples. If he
could duplicate the order he was to
have it, "Why certainly" said Mr..
Farmer. When the merchant reached
Chicago, he went to his wholesale
house. and found the identical pieces
and sold them to the farmer at catalog
prices and made a profit of 20 per
cent. This is only one of hundreds of
such cases. wherein the catalog house
gets big profits, because the purchas-
or does not know values. But as l said
before. it is not the farmers alone who
natronize mail order houses. His is
about the only class abused for the
practice, however.

Tuesday, Alonzo Robbins of Lee coun-
ty, and j. B. Taylor, of Clinton coun-
ty Wednesday, Betsy Smith of Polk
county, and William Tool of Sac
county. Thursday, Louis; Busse, of
Bremen county. Friday, Joseph c.
Smith, of Monroe county. The last
two named are the cases where the
convicts are to be hanged in April and
the governor has asked the legislature
to review the cases. The legislature
will probably not be asked to act
finally on any of the cases until next
week.
The appropriations committees of the
legislature have practically disposed OF
the plan to have the state go into the
business Of making binding Irvine. 1t
has been found impossible to divert
the money necessary for this purpose.
1t would be an expensive experiment
and might prove, as in Minnesota, one
which would involve additions to the
capital invested. In Minnesota the state
has been asked to give more money to
meet new competition in the twine
business. 1t is now agreed that the
Iowa binder Irvine scheme shall go
over until the next legislature ana be
referred either to a special committee
or to the board of control for full
renort. Then the facts will be on mana
so that the legislature may act with
intelligence.
