Iowans at the Yards.

heavy hogs with the sale of 31S-lb
heavy at $500.
w. G.. Carl, of Bennett, sold on
! Wednesdays market Is head of choice
133O-lb steers at $3.50, instead of So
so, as an error in the types made the
mention of his sale read.
Case Noteboom of Hawarden, who
raises 1000 hogs year, was in with
two loads of hogs Friday which
brought the top price of their class.
Frank Smith of Bagley, had a load
| of 3OS-lb hogs in Thursday that sold
at $500. He says corn is "going
down. he having recently bought
some at 800. He says prospects in his
locality warrant a further decline. The
few fat cattle in his country are being
held by the big feeders, who believe
in still higher prices.
Brenton Bros, prominent bankers at
Dallas Center, Woodward and Waukee,
and among the largest feeders in the
state, had in Thursday four cars of
1315-lb party horned and branded cat
tie which sold at $3.50. They sold at
the highest price they have obtained
for any cattle they have shipped this
year. Buyers claimed this drove of
cattle would have sold 81 lower when
the "meat scare was on.
Jim" Hill. of Abel, was here with
eight cars of cattle Thursday. Among
them were two loads of his own feed
ing "a head averaging 1891 lbs, that
sold at $3.50. He said these cattle were

have been fed a month longer. He
| reports the femlest marketable cattle
ready in Dallas county that he has
known in years. He also says hogs are

Charles schwab's Miser.

Charles M. Schwab, in a studio in
New York, was describing a very mean
dealer in pictures who had tried to
cheat him.
"For meanness," said Mr.. schwab, i
can only compare the man with a Lo-
retto miser.
1t is said that the mfser once lost
near Loretto pocketbook containing
$1,000.
The pocketbook was found after
some days by a poor farm hand, and
he as soon as he discovered the name
of the owner, returned it.
'"rhe miser, on getting back his
money, counted it again and again and
the oftener he counted it the blacker
became his scowl.
".What's the matter@ said the farm
hand, anxiously. Isn't it all right?
"Right? No. growled the miser.

Packers Sell Hides High.

Packers are obtaining I5c ID. for
native steer hides. AIT this date in
1904 their price was 11Ac. This is an
advance of 4Ac, or 33 per cent.
Betting butts. are made from native
steer hides, and we find that light butts
are now quoted at 45c. Two years ago
the price was 4Oc, an advance since
then of 1919 per cent. Here we see
that hides are 33 per cent dearer, while
leather has only advanced 1914 per
cent

O. W. Nickerson and j. IS. Baker
were residents of Harwich. Captain
Nickerson as he was called, was a
man of means and very shrewd. Joe
was less fortunate. One day the cap
tain took Joe into a room, closed the
doors and said:
/ Now, Joe, for s25 1 will tell you the
secret of getting rich. Be saving, OF
course. and when you make a bargain
with anyone be sure that no one hears
you, and then if you get the worst OF
it or want to back out, you can. Now
hand me the $25."
Joe thought a second and then said:
did anyone hear us make this bar

one per cent on the amount OF Noes
issued with the provision that when
this insurance reserve reaches total
of three per cent OF the bank notes
insured the premium will be waived
and the experience has been that TINS
tax for the guarantee fund or lnsur-
ancc premium is seldom levied. De-
posits of course, would be greater in
volume than bank notes. but the rate
of taxation for the guarantee. fune or
insurance company's reserve would not
need be any greater.
Insurance of bank deposits would. of
necessity, require examination of each
bank insured and regulation by the in
surance company, which, of itself,
would act as additional insurance. To-
day men who take out boiler insur-
ance do so more for the sake of the ex-
pert inspection by the insurance COM
pany than for the sake of the insur-
ance named in the policy, the convic-
ton being general that inspection by
the company which carries the liability
for the loss will be more careful than
that provided by public inspectors.
Likewise in the case of bank deposit
insurance inspection by the insurance
company would be more thorough and
more careful than government inspec-
ton. Other banks MS members of the
mutual insurance company would have
a personal interest in assisting the in
surance inspectors with information
about banks which We're operating
recklessly and the general result would
be greatly enhanced security on the
part OF the banks themselves. With
deposits absolutely guaranteed by an
insurance company stimulus would
be given to bank deposits. Hundreds
of thousands in money would come
forth from the stockings and the

wAvERLy's SUGAR FACTORY
Huntington Hawk Eye.1


Waverly is to get a 100000 beet
sugar factory, which will employ 300
people. Good for Waverly. If she and
the people of the surrounding country
succeed in keeping that beet factory
and in keeping it going, they will sure

Of these beet sugar factories have been

remain nowhere. And yet the soil was
favorable to the culture of the beet,
but the farmers grew weary of the
labor of producing the beets. And who
