5 LOOKER.ON IN IOWA

Reinbeck, Jan S-There's good,
healthy rumor atoat that Mr.. A. l..
Ames, of Buckingham, Iowa, will soon
announce his candidacy for the seat in
congress now occupied by Mr. Cousins.
Whether this latest report becomes
certainty or not this much can be
said of Mr. Ames. AS president of the
Corn Belt Meat Producers Association.
he has made large and friendly ac-
quaintance among the farmers. many
of whom would be glad to support him
in his political aspirations
There are several thousands of men
and women in Iowa, whose central
subject of thought and conversation, is
bread and butter" Who figure daily
how to set the most of bread and but
ter, and all that implies, for dollar.
The department of commerce at
Washington has lately complied set
of figures showing the cost of living.
Fortunately for Iowa readers Dubuque,
Iowa, and New York City are the COM
parative points. Public Opinion says:
Directly connected with the question
of the cost of living is that of the place
of living. For some of us that is fairly
we'll determined Birth, chance, neces-
sity or a dozen minor considerations
may decree that we spend our lives In
this or that place, without much re-
gard to our desires, if indeed we have
any. But for many and probably the
majority of the members of the intel
lectual proletariat, there is some room
for choice He possesses some slight
independence of spirit and the range
of his specific occupations is large
enough to give him a certain mobility
of life.
I'm order to make the matter as
specific as possible let us compare the
conditions of two imaginary intellectual
proletarians, living let us say one in
New York City and the other in Du-
buque, Iowa. Dubuque is fairly rep
resentative town of the middle west.
According to the last census 1T had
population of 36,297. 1t is situated in
rich farming section, and is also
something of manufacturing and
railroad center thus offering many
openings for the Intellectual proletar-
ian. For purposes of comparison it
may be assumed that the salaries of
both are twenty dollars a week, altho
salaries in New York City may be
slightly higher than in Dubuque. On
this point it may be asserted safely,
however, that the difference is not SO
great as is commonly supposed. In
occupations of similar character in
both places there is little il any advan-
tage with New York. The New York
proletarian who draws larger salary
than his Dubuque brother. does it as
rule in an occupation which does not
exist in the latter place.
"Our first, altho not our sole, concern
is with the humdrum matters of daily
living The larders of both must be
stocked The relative cost of food in
the two cases can be best illustrated
by table setting forth the cost of the
daily articles of food in the two places,
the figures being obtained from the re-
port of the department of commerce
and labor above referred to. In this
table the prices of all articles are Civ
en- in cents and fractions of cents per
pound.

Certain Ida Grove women deserve

measured by the fact that upon carry

ALL TWIRLERS TO THE
 BARONS LOOK JUST ALIKE

The Barons have reached that stage when all pitchers look just alike to them. It now matters little whether the oppon- ents work a Breitenstein or a Burnum, or Fisher of a Maxwell. The Barons have donned their swatting clothes, and if the present stride with the willow is main- tained. the pennant Is cinched, and as team, the locals will surge far to the lead of all their contemporaries. If the present pace is maintained, the Barons will number more 300 hitters than any other team about the circuit.
 In each of the two Atlanta games, the Barons succeeded in hitting safe thirteen times The first games played in Mont gomery, thirteen was again the lucky number of hits. Then, there is yester-
