One horse IT years old and in the government service for ten years brought $10 more than the government originally paid, prob- ably establishing a record.

Time, and not very long time, will remedy the financial difficult ties of Prescott. Prescott will, we firmly believe, double its popula- tion and property values within the next three years. There will be a marked increase this year. In- creased property valuation will mean more taxes and more money for the city, and this tax income will keep on increasing with the growth of the city. What will help us out a good deal will be the pas- sage by the coming legislature of a freight and fare bill. This will greatly stimulate mining and will make a great many more people come here to see our section. Pres cott Courier.

King Drag Makes Fine Road.

If any one has any doubt as to the
practicability of the King drag for
country roads, let him drive from De-
corah to the home of Ed. Brakeman,
three miles west of the city, and he
will find what has ordinarily been a
rough piece of road as smooth as a
floor. over which it is pleasure to
drive. We drove out that way the
other day, and were surprised to note
what had been done with the King
drag. The road has been put in
splendid condition by going over it
with King drag after rains, and the
effort and expense is trifling compared
to the benefits derived. The town.
ship trustees are entitled to the
thanks of everyone who drives over
this highway. We can see no reason
why every piece of road in Winnie

treated, and we feel certain that il

Plenty Of Money.

The country is lousy with money.
That is not the most elegant way to
express it, but it sums up what a
stock buyer told us the other day. He
says that when he makes deal now
it is a sight to see the rolls OF bills,
big enough to choke COW, that the
farmers will produce; or if they are
buying something from him, they
will fash check book, while few
years ago check book was compare
lively unmet with. He says he actual
ly never saw the like of it. 1t used to
be when he issued check it would
turn up at the bank in two or three
days paid, but lately he doesn't know
when to look for them. The farmers
carry them or keep them at home as
safer to keep than money. A little
while ago one man sold him some-
thing and the stock man was going to
give him check. The seller dug up
a check that the stockman had given
him some three or four months before
and asked him to put it all in one
new check, as the first one was get
ting worn out. This stock buyer says
that in his whole township he does
not know OF a farmer that half way
tries but is making money and plenty
of it. New Hampton Gazette.

BIG MEN COMING.
Something Of the Talent Which Appears
Here During Chautauqua Week.

DEBORAH will not only entertain a
party of distinguished men during the
DEBORAH Uhautauqua, July ola. but
will have an opportunity to see them
all and hear them express their opin-
ions on everything from the Philip
pines to the Standard Oil company.
Gov. Hoch of Kansas deals with this
latter problem in his lecture. which
is entitled "A Message from Kansas. -
Gov. Hoch will appear here few
days after he presents personally the
So, 600 silver service TO the battleship
Kansas in the name of the people of
that state.
If ever there was man with mes
sage it is the Right Rev. Mgr. j.
Henry Then. His lecture. "Foot-
prints on the Sands Today is one of
the most powerful addresses ever
heard on chautauqua platform. AL
though deep and eloquent, Mgr.
Tihen's lectures are far from being
dry. Humor quietly but frequently
breaks out at unexpected places and
he frequently has his audiences in
roars of laughter.
Peter MacQueen is the old original
travel lecturer, and he keeps his lect-
ures up to the minute. He is making
hit wherever he goes and it is safe
to say that the people here will appre-
ciate him.
A man must be terribly in earnest
to leave his pulpit and go out with
overalls and jumper to earn his bread
as Rev. Geo. l.. McNutt did. Mr..
McNutt still spends several months of
each year as toiler with toilers and
knows the labor problem from start to
finish.
Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska
is an Iowa boy. He was born at
Maquoketa and worked his way
through the state university, and then
went to Nebraska, where he has met
with decided success at every turn.
The people of Nebraska decided last
fall that no one could better represent
them in the upper house of congress
than this young man from Iowa. He
is still boy at heart, but his wide
experience in politics gives him the
right to talk with authority on 1.-THE
Government, Who Owns It?n After
you hear Senator Brown you may
have different idea of your share IN

to appear at the DEBORAH Chautauqua,

several attractions with which he has
been negotiating, and if contracts
are closed as now expected there will
be the finest list of attractions ON the

Several high class and expensive at
fractions Of national repute will be
engaged. there will be base ball
tournament that will be hummer.
some good races, large number of
side shows. tent attractions, etc., lots
of good music. free live stock auc-
ton sale each day, and long list OF
special attractions and amusements
which will be announced later. No
effort or expense will be spared this
year to make the coming fair excel
all others in DEBORAH. 1t is to be
hoped that the farmers throughout
the county will make preparations to
bring in something for exhibition.
The halls, pens, etc. will be thorough
ly repaired and put in first class con-
dition, and everything possible done
for the convenience of exhibitors and
the entertainment of visitors.

Maryland, My Maryland.

Maryland, too, has succombed TO
the Old Home Week epidemic and pre-
poses to have a grand family reunion
of it's distant sons and daughters

farthest point from New England,
however, that the Old Home Week
movement has spread, for Kentucky,
If will be remembered, celebrated such
an event last year with considerable
degree of success. In Maryland a
state association has formed with local
committees in each of the cities and
large centers and invitations are being
sent out to all parts Of the land
together with programs giving the
features of the entertainment to be
provided.
Climatic conditions made it inadvls-
able for Maryland to celebrate Old
Home Week during the summer sea-
son as we did up here in New England
and so October 1913 inclusive are
the days selected and the invitations
assure US that there will not be
moment of that time which will not
thrill with the spirit of hospitality for
which Maryland, my Maryland IS
famous. These invitations are sent
out by Governor Warfield in the name
Of the state, and if enterprise and
elaborate preparations can bring such
thing about. Maryland's Old Home
Week will be an unqualified success.
The celebration will include num-
Der of spectacular features i'll TINS
city. such as an electrical pageant,
grand military and naval display,
gathering of patriotic societies,
parade and ball by the fraternal
orders. a big concert, a night carnival.
etc There will also be a special
pilgrimage to Annapolis on Peggy
Stewart Day, which falls in Old Home
Week The visitors to the capital Will
have an opportunity to inspect the
magnificent new buildings of the
United States Naval academy and the
rcmodeled state house of historic as
sociations. The new Baltimore.
which has sprung from the ashes of
the disastrous fire of 1904, will not be
the least of the features that will
afford delight and will surprise the re-
turning SONS and daughters of the
