STOLE LOCOMOTIVE TO ESCAPE
Maurice Balanofsky, Cousin of Joe
Steinberg, of #. Dodge, Aided Forty
nine Companions to Escape From
Military Prison to Which They Had
Been Sentenced for Life.
Special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Chelsea, Dec. Al attended sale a
few miles south of here a few days
ago. 1t was a small closing out af-
fair and there We're not a great many
there, but as l ran my eye over the
crowd, it was apparent they were
mostly men who own their own farms,
and had money to buy anything that
looked cheap. Everything sold well,
a crib of corn, this years crop, brought
81 cents right in the crib. Cattle and
hogs did not bring as big a price
as they would few months ago. l
contrasted these business men with
those men who run the stores In our
towns. These farmers were talking OF
next years business, the number OF acres
of corn they were going to put in, and
how they were going to seed down this
or that piece. No one said anything
about panic, or that they did not
think it would pay to only plant ten
acres of corn or reduce on any hand.
They are blowing up pastures ana
stubble, and next year will see Just as
many acres of corn as there were this
year. There will be the same acre
age Of oats, and just as many pigs
narrowed as ever.
/ met four farmers in front OF the
bank here and l said: Jim. how will
this panic affect your" well, you see
its like this; I don't happen to owe
anybody anything and l have good
crop of corn, so am all right; but it
is going to be tough on my neigh
Dor. You see he owes for his farm
and has $1.400 interest to pay each
year. He will probably lose his place"
AS long as I had started on
this kind Of an argument, kept it up
for few days, and the strange thing
about it all was it was always the
other fellow who was going to get
hurt, not the man I talked to-
If you were to go into MarshalltoWn,
Waterloo, or any other such town and
get together as many men engaged in
business as were congregated at thts
sale, they would draw down their
faces and look wise. Jones would start
in, not with how much business he was
going to do next summer, but with
the statement that he was getting hold
of all the cash he could, had let one
clerk go, etc. Brown would start his
story and each would scare the other
one. and they would all go back to his
store and countermand from one 20 a
dozen orders given for goods to be de-
livered next spring. Tehy are but chill
dren compared to a farmer when trou-
BILE comes. Here is a farmer who has
40 fine shoats. Sickness comes al ,rg
and takes 1854 of them. Does he lrst?
No, he doesn't. He goes along and
raises more. But let merchant put in
line of goods and 1t loses him as
much as a crop Of hogs amounts to,
he quits it quick.

among the farmers for the past three
months. The only business experience
I have had with the town man is III
