half as much. and three transfers have

Higher Last Year.

New York seats we're selling at about
their highest last year, and Philadelphia
two years ago PittsbuFg seats also
we're then at their highest since the
stock market boom in 1903. New York
seats are now as high as they were
then. Boston seats are now at about
their highest. This may be partly eX-
planned by the popularity OF copper
mining shares, Boston being the prin-
cipal market for them.

MEAT PRODUCERS Ass0CIA-
TON

A most important meeting was held
in Des MONIES last week that of the
Corn Belt Meat Producers Association.
Delegates were sent from this county.
The association has done great work
for the farmers and should be support
ed. The members in Crawford county
should pay their dues and keep up the
fight for justice from the packing
combine. Mr.. Ames who has done
so much for the association is a strong
man. fearless and honest. The late
meeting was an important one. The
addresses came right down to the
truth of affairs.
The resolutions are quite lengthy
and comprehensive. The portion per-
tanning to the practices at the Chica-
go markets is:
"We demand a house cleaning at
the Chicago stock yards in the manner
of handling crippled hogs and suspect
ed cattle. We condemn upreservedly
the practice which as been followed
by very large number of commits
sion firms there. of permitting our
stock to be yarded by men who are
not in the employ of these firms. and
we earnestly advise all members OF
this association to refuse to consign
stock to all commission firms who do
not employ on salary all men who
handle our stock. We assert the live
stock exchanges at the different
markets have been unfaithful agents
of the producer. We condemn secret
practices of these live stock exchanges
whereby they seek to absolutely con-
troll and monopolize the trade at the
different stock yards. We stand for
a free open and unrestricted market.

because this sand is the finest sand in

We print this overdrawn account of
what is said to be happening at De-
lott, to inform our readers OF the adj
vertising which our neighbor is re
ceiving. 1t has been the means of
drawing attention to Deloit. and the

Deloit will always be strong trading
point. and could we'll stand further
business endeavores. If the sand is
as good as represented and there is
sufficient quantity there is an oppor-
tunity for great things if proper cap
ital was interested. The making use
of clay for bick. rock for cement and
stucco, peat for fuel, placed by
nature at the door is proving the
building up of many Iowa cities. and
the sand deposits along the Boyer may
some dav make the owner wealthy
and build up great manufacturing
plants.

TO HAVE A GLASS FACTORY
The State Papers Printing A Pipe
Dream Sent out From Delot.

Jefferson Bee.-Sand. just plain
ordinary Iowa sand. promises to make
Deloit in Crawford county famous.
Sand by the carload is being shipped
from that point daily to the great
glass factories of Pittsburg. Pa. 1t
is declared to be the finest in the
world for making glass. Up to the
present date nothing in the way Of
extra fine sand has been found along
the Coon. but you can never tell what
might happen.
Deloit is one of the oldest towns in
the State. 1t was settled by the
Mormons in 1916. and for years was
the county seat of Crawford county.
Finally, after the railroad went
through Denison. six miles to the
south. over -shadowed it and became
the county metropolis and center.
For years Deloit slumbered and it is
only recently that some of it's citizens
awoke to the fact that there was
money to be made out of the great
sand hills and deposits laid down in
past ages by the Boyer. They open
ed up one or two of these sand hills
and began business on small scale.
Soon there came calls for the pro-
duct form the nearby points. Masons
who wanted to do particularly fine
piece of work or to lay fancy brick
sent for a supply of Deloit sand. In
this way Its fame spread. Omaha
and Des Moines began using the pro-
duct. One day glass manufacture
heard of the famous sand from the
little Crawford county town and sent
Tor samples of it. The examination
brought a small order. That order
brought larger one. Now that
manufacturer alone is using two cars
loads of the sand every working day.
1t takes considerable force of
men to get out the sand. Forty-two
teams are constantly at work in the
PITS. The enterprise which started
in the smallest possible way promises
to be of one the big things of west
ern Iowa.
Deloit is already feeling the quick
neing pulse. She is rousing from the
