A Rhodes graduate Of Oxford, Eng
land, i!,s to make a thorough and ex-
haustive study of the coal supply OF
the state of Iowa. This is perhaps tine
most important undertaking yet made
by the geological department. The coal
supply has been reported upon from
/ time to time by the department along
with other resources of the state bu.
no report has been made as exhaustive
and thorough as that to be made now.
Professor Calvin, state geologist, has
engaged Henry Kinds of st. Paul, who
was sent to Oxford, England, from
South Dakota. He has but recently
graduated and his first work will be
the Iowa coal supply. He reached Des
Moines yesterday and is familiarizing
himself with the prelininaries for the
work.
The Iowa railroad commission has
raised the minimum on the weight of
cars. For many years it has been a.
600 pounds in this state while the act

till they now vary between 10000 and
$4,000 pounds and no cars of capacity
of 24,0(0 are now manufactured. The
commission has fixed the minimum
now at 10000 pounds. This increase
will to a limited extent assist in car
ing for the car shortage. Shippers
will hereafter put more freight in their
cars ard thus there will not be so
many partly filled cars. The railroads
claim that they have been increasing
the capacity of their cars in order to
solve the car shortage problem but
with the minimum capacity at $4,000
pounds, shippers will frequently only
put thaj. weight in the car. The min.
imum on household goods and a num-
Der of other commodities remains at
$4,000 pounds.
Because Of the additional work
made necessary by the enforcement
of the pure stock food bill, an assistant
chemist has been engaged for the state

University. He entered upon his du-

OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES.
Chances in Average Small Town for
Probably Engaging In Business.

According to the United States CEN
sus of 1900 there was produced in the
United States 1898 ,662, 433 dozen eggs.
The same statistics give the annual
production of poultry at 250,623, ia.
The butter made on farms each year
is in excess of 1000, 100000 pounds.
The cheese made on farms averages
about 100000 pounds annually.
These statistics are interesting, and
with each farmer growing poultry and
eggs and making butter and cheese, 1t
hardly seems possible that such COM
binations as dairy trusts and egg and
poultry trusts could exist, but that
they do is nevertheless a fact.
Every small town in farming dis
trict can command sufficient butter.
egg and poultry trade to support a
prosperous exclusive produce estab-
lishment. The practice has generally
obtained in agricultural districts of
storekeepers in various lines taking
farmers produce in exchange for
goods. The produce thus received by
merchants is forwarded to the com
mission houses in the large city, and
these houses are factors that make 1t
possible to maintain trusts in the pro-
duce business. 1t appears that If each
town had its exclusive produce estab-
lishment to buy what the farmer has
to sell instead of the produce going
through the local stores, that better
prices could be paid the farmers and
the business made most profitable
one II rightly conducted.
According to the natural laws of
business industry succeeds best where
advantages are most abundant. Thus
it seems that the produce offers a
most excellent field in the majority Of
agricultural towns.

There is such thing as over-ferti-
LIKING land. Some plants will stand a
great deal of manure and some will
not. Storer says: Wheat and barley
must not be fed too richly lest they
run to straw and produce no adequate
yield of grain. Years ago. when wheat
was commonly grown in Europe on a
lean, bare fallow. to which a certain
amount of manure was applied, 1t
seemed to the men that practiced this
system that limit had been set to
the amount of wheat that could be
grown on an acre of land. They found
themselves unable to force the wheat
to yield more than a certain definite
quantity of grain, for the moment they
applied to the land any more than the
usual quantity of dung, their wheat
was apt to fail, because the plants
ran to leaf and lodged before coming
to maturity"

EQUITY IN BUSINESS.
Practice Of Live-and-Let-Live PrIneI-
Piles Most Desirable.

Too frequently 1t is noticed that in
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights of the individual are ignored.
Fair dealing is a desirable thing as
well as most simple and 1t requires
only common honesty to practice it.
Not alone is there honesty involved
In the matter of selling but also in
the matter of buying. 1t is quite as
dishonorable for the purchaser to ex-
act that the seller receive no profit on
an article sold as 1t is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods
There is much sound philosophy in
the live-and-let-live gospel. This is
nothing more than an observance of
the Golden Rule that has found ex-
preston in all ages of enlightenment
from the time of Gautama down to
the present. In every day dealings it
is apparent that there is too much of
exaggerated selfshness In evidence.
too great struggle for the vantage.
There should be spirit of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike. Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack of this sense
of equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often is the complaint heard in
rural districts that the storekeepers
of a town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
1t noticed that where this feeling DOM
mates the people that the home
town suffers as a consequence? 1t is
oil nrt ciU tn1v ri M m
chants to require of their customers
more than what may be considered
legitimate and just profit. In fact. 1t
is poor business policy to follow out
a plan of this kind. There are many
towns whose growth has been pre-
vented through a grasping tendency
of the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in a few short years, and to
give the people as small an amount OF
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result of a pol
icy of this kind is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their
trading and quite often buy from the
distant mail-order house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break. 1t is quite as difficult for the
merchant to recover from the habit
of making exorbitant profits as it is
for the patron Of the mail-order house
to turn his trade to the home stores.
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce. and both
determine to practice equity in their
dealings, the merchant to sell honest
goOda at honest DrOfits and the Gus
toner to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle. it
would be wholesome not alone for
the home towns. but for all the COM
munities.

TOWN HELPS.

Poor hotels are denominations that
cause travellers to pass by the towns
where they are located. 1t has been
known that the reputation of a hotel
has ruined the prospects of otherwise
promising towns.
Each town should have good pub
lie hall. place where meetings can
be held or entertainments given. II
such hall be erected by private en-
terprise If rightly managed can be
made a profitable investment in the
average small town.
Quite often when towns are organ
lied the matter of providing for public
parks is overlooked. Every town is a
city in embryo. No one can prophesy
how great 1t may become in time. 1t
is well to look into the future and to
set aside grounds that may be used
for park purposes. 1t has been the
experiments of many cities that the
park question is a troublesome one
when not looked after in ample time.
There is nothing that makes the city
more attractive or is such a blessing
to its people as coy park where
they may meet for recreation during
the warmer months OF the year.
