The announcement recently
made that the oldest Mason in
Iowa resides at Pochahontas
has resulted in several lodges in
this part of the state announ-
cling they have members in the
same class with the Pocohontas
brother. That city has one of
the oldest Masons in the state
in Ira Demander, who is just
past eighty years, and on of the
first Master of Mason's Home
Lodgde. Mr.. Demander has
proven his loyalty to the order
by long years OF service, and
probably holds a record for con-
tinuous membership in on e
lodge. Mr.. Dermander is a
charter member of Iowa Falls
lodge and has never lapsed his
membership in the organization.

1t has been noted by a num-
Der of newspapers that the
postmaster at Des Moines has
ordered postmasters in Iowa
doing business with that office
to remit in cash. This is a
pretty bluff and a neat scheme
in the interest of Des Moines
against which we enter a
hearty protest. Chicago and
New York drafts are just as
good for Des Moines as any
other community, and the capt.
tai city should take its share of
embarrassment over the short
age of cash as pleasantly as
other cities. The seat of po-
litical wisdom and financial
sagacity should bear its ills as
good naturally as other people.
If the Des Moines trick is al
lowed to go on without protest
how long will it be before every
community is drained of its
supply of cash for the benefit
of hat city?-Harlan Tribune.

Should be Appreciated

If there is any class of bust
ness men in existence who
ought to hold the newspaper
fraternity in grateful remem-
brance it is the bankers of the
country. During the financial
crisis the newspapers were the
salvation of the country. There
was not a fire brand in the
entire lot. From one end of
the country to the otner-in
village, town and city-the
newspapers urged people to be
calm and serene, assured them
that the finances of the country
are safe and sound and that the
banks are absolutely secure and
published the utterances of
noted financiers to back up
their statements. Here in Iowa
the circular issued by State
Auditor Carroll was published
everywhere, thus relieving
what threatened a most danger
Gus condition. The average
obscure country newspaper man
may not have any credit at the
bank but he deserves we'll of
the banking fraternity. If he
is prepared to print checks.
deposit slips, note heads and
the like, he ought to have the
privilege of doing so without
having to buck a big litho-
graphic firm in a great city or
a cheap sweat shop in some re-
mote town. Cedar Falls

The Merchants Best Friend

Henry w. Cornell, in his adj
dress on advertising delivered
at Elmira in the Industrial
Lecture course recently, said:
Publicity comes from the
word of mouth of customers;
from the window display and
from newspaper AMI circular
advertising.
"That publicity which comes
from the word of mouth of
customers is limited to those
who patronize the store.
Chat publicity which comes
through our window display is
limited to those who pass our
store.
"lhat publicity which comes
through the medium of news
paper advertising is carried to
every home, every store, every
factory and every office in the
city. Which, therefore, is the
most important element in
publiclly?
"The newspaper is the mer-
chants best friend, his sharpest
tool in his trade and his best
weapon of defense in the in
sidious attack of the mail order
house. The ad man is not a
CRATER looking for money for
nothing. He is a merchant
with a legitimate proposition
to offer and his work is more
valuable to the merchant and
to the city than almost any
other"

Money Crises Over

World Herald,
Within sixty days money
will be as easy as an old shoe,"
said Gurdon w. Wattles, vice
president of the United States
National bank, who had just
arrived home from New York,
where he went ten days ago TO
personally investigate condi-
tions in the metropolis.
"The furry is over. The
crisis was pa ed last week,
when the New York clearing
house practically took charge of
every bank and trust company.
1t required the resignation of
some of the bank officers and
directors and did some other
drastic things, preliminary to
furnishing the combined assist
ance to all the institutions that
complied with its requirements
This has brought about a condi-
ton so that no bank of any inn
portance will fail, and he situa-
ton from now on will improve
rapidly.
MONEY COMES EASIER
But for the situation in New
York and other eastern cities,
there was no occasion for UNI
easiness in any western bank,
and that was the only reason
that any western bank suspend
ed currency payment, and they
are prepared to resume with
little delay. The movement
west has already begun. While
in the east, l bought 100000
in currency for the United
States National bank, paying a
premium of from 2 to 81 per
cent, which is the rate that is
being paid in New York on the
importations from abroad.

Farmers Review.

The American farmer has al
ways had before him the temp
tation to grasp a large amount
of land. This is not surprising
when we consider what his edu-
cation has been. 1t has been
seven or more generations since
our ancestors settled in this
country and during all that
time the defendants of the old
settlers have had the thirst for
land bred into them. This was
because in the beginning of the
development of this country,
land was very easily obtained,
and the most common way for
men to enrich themselves was
to get possession of large tracts
of land.
But today the new conditions
are in conflict with the tenden-
| cy to own land for the mere
sense of owning it. Before a
man buys more land he should
first sit down and consider
whether he can use that land.
He ] shold also consider more
carefully the question of wheth-
er he can not more fully use
the land he has. Today there
multitudes of families that are
made miserable by the possess
ion of too much land.
A man known to the writer
had eighty acres of land located
within a few miles of a thriving
town. He had only himself and
wife to provide for, and he
found it hard to get help even
to take care of the eighty acres.
But he had always owned a farm
of from half to a square mile
in area, and he was miserable
on his little piece OF eighty
acres. His wife wanted to stay
there, for she had been over
worked on the big farm. But
he insisted on selling the nice
little farm and then move to
the city while waiting to get
hold Of a big farm.
What the country needs is a
| lrge number of we'll titled small
farms. That means more indie
pendent farmers and fewer
hired men. 1t means a solution
of the hired help problem. 1t
means more families in a town
ship and that, too, of families
that own the land on which they
are located. Such people thrill
with the delight of ownership
They are help to the commu-
mites. Their children do not
have to rush to the cities to
make a living. More farms
makejbetter schools. 1t means
more electric lines running
here and there over the
country; for the electric goes
where populations are sufficient
ly dense to insure them patron
age. If the American farmer
does not get down to this idea
the foreigner will take the land.
The foreigner comes in from
his little piece of land in Eu-
rope. He has been there to
farm intensively a little piece
of territory. He takes a small
piece and is content with it. He
works and his family works.
They have no hired help prob
lem. They soon own the land
on which the American farmer
was lord, but on which he had
a mortgage. The thirst can no
longer be gratified without the
danger of loosing even the land
necessary for the support of
the farmers family. 81, E

Boarding House Geometry

Edwin Tarrisse in Harper's
Weekly: A scientific friend of
mine has drawn up a boarding
house geometry that strikes me
as being noteworthy. says a
youth with a third-story
"front."
Some of his definitions run
as follows:
81. All boarding houses are
the same boarding houses.
"2. Boarders in the same
boarding house, and on the
same floor, are equal to one an
other in the matter of price,
but not in the matter of out
look.
"3. A single room is that
which has no parts and no
magnitude.
%. The landlady of a board
ing house is a parallelogram;
an oblong, angular, figure
which cannot be described, but
is equal to anything.
IS. All the rooms being
taken, a single room is said to
be double room."
Among postulates and propo
sltions the following are worthy
of consideration:
81. A pie may be produced
any number of times.
"2. The landlady may be re
duced to her lowest terms by a
series of propositions.
SO. A Decline may be made
from one boarding house to an
other.
% The clothing of a board
ing house bed, although ex-
tended indefinitely in both
directions, will never meet.
IS. Any two meals at a
boarding house are together
less than one square meal"

Likes Concrete House

New York, Nov. 14.-Henry
Phipps, the wealthy steel manu-
facturer who, in 1905, gave
81 100000 for the erection of
model tenements in New York
City, is greatly interested in
the possibilities of the two-fam-
lily concrete houses planned by
Thomas A. Edison, the in
ventor, and which, it is claimed
can be built within twelve
hours at a cost of $1,000 to
$1,000.
Mr.. Edison will have the mold
for full sized double residence
cast this winter and as soon as
the frost is out of the ground
next spring, he will build one
of the houses near his labora-
tory. If it proves satisfactory
Mr.. Phipps, probably in coop
GRAFTON with other wealthy
men, will erect a large number
of these houses near New York
City, a city of concrete.
