The old st. Louis race track,
known in trotting circles for over
half "A century, is about to be sold
for city lots.
The recent action of the Missouri
Legislature in prohibiting race
track betting marked the finish of
this old landmark of the turf.
The amount of Legislation that is
being brought up all over the coun-
try regarding betting at race tracks
seems to presage the fact that be-
fore many years the game will be
one of horse flesh, pure and simple.
The 100 to l shot, the sure tip
and the pulled horse will be among
the glorious annals of the past.
There is one redeeming feature !:
we will all have car fare in our jeans
to get home after the races, but
where is the compensation for the
tingle you felt when the sorrel that
carried your last two spot came
romping down the stretch?

BARN BURNS.
L. P. Pemberton Suffers
Second Loss by Fire in
Last Few Months.

Quite an excitement was occa-
stoned Thursday afternoon by the
fire alarm sounding and the dis
covery that l.. p. Pemberton' s
barn on 3rd street was afire. The
fire department quickly responded
with the apparatus, but before they
arrived, the flames had spread to
the surrounding fences and out
buildings on that and the adjoining
lots.
Two streams were quickly at
tached and the boys working with
will the fire was confined to the
building and immediate surround
ings.
There were several horses in the
corral Immediately in the rear of
the barn and in their wild haste to
get away from the fire, Herb Will
son, who was assisting in leading
them out, was knocked down by
one of the crazed animals and re-
ceived severe cuts and bruises.
W hile not dangerous they are pain
full and unpleasant.
The fire was finally gotten under
control but not until practically all
the barn was consumed.
The loss is quite extensive. Mr..
Pemberton had in the barn several
hundred bushels of grain, as well
as a quantity of hay, harness and
tools. 1t will probably foot up to
$500. The barn was new one
completed only a short time ago
and there was no insurance on the
property. This is Mr.. Pember-
tons second loss by fire within a
year, having lost his ranch house
not many months ago together
with most of its contents.
The fire boys deserve "A great
deal of credit for the prompt man
ner in which they turned out, and
there is no doubt but their rapidity
in answering the alarm saved
several of the adjacent buildings,
all of which were dwellings. The
fire was very disagreeable one to
fight owing to the amount of smoke
arising from the burning hay, but
they stuck to the work till the last
of the flame and even the smoke
had been so thoroughly disposed
of that there was nothing left to be
done.

At the conclusion of the program
guests and students were invited
to visit the school exhibits which
were arranged in the different class
rooms
In rooms l and 3 were examina-
ton papers and journals which
were indeed excellent.
But My! The exhibit of the
domestic art department eclipsed
anything ever seen in this part of
the country. Room was deco
rated in the academy colors and
long table in the center was the
sight of lifes time. Nearly 100
prepared dishes of edibles of the
most tempting kinds. Fine meats,
salads, fruits, pies, etc, etc, etc.
Each dish was labeled with the
name of the maker. The display
was surely a credit to Mrs. T. d.
Rees and her students and it was
hard to leave this tempting room.
Room was filled with the fine
art exhibit. The room was deco
rated not only with the school
colors but its walls were adorned
with over POO pieces of art needle
work, lace l.. work, z battenberg,
doilies, sofa pillows well, there
were so many things the eyes were
dazzled with the blaze of color
Where on earth did Mrs. Rees get
so many ideas of such beautiful
things.
But wait moment that was not
all.
The banquet by the domestic
science ladies to the board of
education was the CLIMAX.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-After a slight dip
during the first few minutes Of trad
ing, wheat became firm, owing to buy
ing inspired by fresh confirmation
of damage by frost of the Argentine
crop, and by unfavorable weather for
the movement in the northwest. De-
cember opened at 9Ss to 9s&, de-
clined to 9SA, and rallied to 9SB
@99. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
receipts were 6S4 cars.
The market gained additional
strength the last part of the day, prices
closing up Is for December, at 99A.
Realizing sales by several leading
holders, had depressing effect on
corn, but prices showed slight losses
early. December opened at 6Sas @
63h, and sold down to 631s. Receipts
were eighty-seven cars.
The market displayed more firmness
later on strength in wheat, December
closing up 1s@A at 635s.
Oats.
Oats were steady, on moderate de-
mand by shorts. December opened
at ATS to 47h@47A. Receipts were
1S1 cars.
Provisions.
Commission houses and local packers
were fairly active bidders for provis-
ions. and the result was a firm market
at the opening.

RECORD CORN CROP.
Farmer Near Rock Rapids Gathers
Seventy five Bushels Per Acre.

Rock Rapids, Oct. 21.-O. w. Mckee.
a farmer living two miles north of
town, has demonstrated that corn can
be successfully grown in northwestern
Iowa. He has a field of sixty-five
acres that so far as he has picked is
yielding seventy-five bushels per acre
of good, solid corn.
Several years ago Mr.. Mckee
bought the first corn grader that was
on the market and commenced to
grade his seed corn. The best brade
was planted and from this seed was
carefully selected and the grading
process resumed. The ground was
carefully prepared and the crop well
cared for and the result has been in
creased yields every year and better
corn. Mr. Mckee takes great care
in selecting his seed corn, and every
ear is tested. He says: II used to
plant corn and all that came up took
care of and l usually had about as
good as my neighbors, and if l got
thirty or thirty-five bushels per acre
thought I had good corn. Now 1 be-
lieve 100 bushels can be raised from
an acre in this country as well as
forty, with proper care" Mr.. Mckee
uses machine for husking his crop.

New Graft.
Minneapolis, Oct. 21.-George and
Sam Scammon. farmers on their way
from northeastern Iowa to North Da-

whereby they paid SOS to a stranger
to have their car of goods transferred
from one railroad to another.
They arrived in the city late at
night. over the Minneapolis & st.
Louis road, and as the train pulled
into the Kenwood yards man with
lantern entered their car.
you will be transferred to the
Great Northern road he said, Just
as soon as you pay the transfer fee
The brothers had been told their
freight bill covered the transfer
charges. and they hesitated, but the
man with the lantern urged them on,
saying that unless they were trans
ferred at the time they might have to
lay over a week. The charge for the
transfer, he said, was only SOS.
Reluctantly the men paid over the
money, but before they left they COM
planned at the freight depot The mat
ter was at once reported to Edward
HELM, detective for the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis road.
The brothers were notified by tele-
graph to stop at Northtown junction.
Sam Scammon stopped off to help the
police, while his brother went on with
the car.
In the meatime, Detectives Martin
son and Wirtensohn arrested Burt
Markum, a former convict, who had
been employed by the railroad for a
few days. He was identified by Scam
mon and held to await trial on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses.

Special to Times Republican.
Grundy Center, Oct. 21.-Yesterday
saw housekeeping of "hoboes" in
this town. A few nights ago one of
the members of the Jungle" pounded
up farm hand, until it is said he can
not live. Last night a gang of them
tried to hold up the milllman, and
another gang ordered Mr.. Palmer to
deliver his cash. Neither of these men
were robbed, but in each case it was
because they made run and escaped.
Other similar offenses have been com i
mitted of late. A gang Of from fifty
to seventy-fiNe of these undesirables
are camping near town, claiming to
want work as potato shovelers. The
mayor, the two marshals and a crowd
of business men assisted the whole
gang to get aboard trains yesterday
afternoon, and warned them what
would happen If they again struck
town. It is hoped that their course
has been run here.

| Chicago, Oct. 21.-Cattle-Good
grades We're steady, others weak. LIB
eral receipts and lack of energy on the
part of buyers were the causes Of
weakness.
Further heavy liquidation of the plain
and habitat natives appears probable
later this week, and sellers were not
taking very cheerful view Of the out
look today. The three big roads re-
ported $50 cars in sight for today
which indicated heavy midweek run,
estimated by some as high as $4,000
The trade is not in shape to handle big
supplies without further price break
for the medium to good killers, and also
the commoner warmed up classes. Mon
day supplies of these classes went
largely 10@15c lower, and some at
greater decline. due to lack Of competi-
ton between local and outside buyers,
and still lower prices did not prove a
surprise.
With the strictly we'll finished
classes. however the situation is differ
ent and more encouraging to feeders.
There were. however. some of the 1925
@640 kinds, which went little off In
last rounds Monday. Most Of the high
err priced classes, on the other hand,
were good sellers that day, some MAX
ing firm range, and the outlook for
today and later this week hardly war
rants decline for such kinds, since
the proportion of finished steers COM
ing nowadays is hardly up to the needs
of the buyers. OF course, the great ma
Jority of receipts are from the ranges,
fully two-thirds.

packers were not disposed to pay the
advance.
Influential people in the provisions
trade are taking hold of the deferred
deliveries on quite a liberal scale
around the present level. and are be-
lieved to be accommodating lines for a
long pull. Monday there was better
class of investment buying reported
and many outsiders are understood to
be only waiting for the attitude of the
packers to become less bearish to buy
freely. The great shortage in the
weight of hogs is believed by the bulls
to much more than outweigh the larger
receipts compared to a year ago.
Sheep
Sheep were steady. Receipts were
sufficiently large to prevent sellers
from boosting prices.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Oct. 21.-Fully hundred
members of the Grinnell Business Men S
association and invited guests. assem-
bled at the Metropolitan at $3.50 last
evening and partook of an excellent
three-cours banquet, and enjoyed a
very pleasant social hour before Presi-
dent F. NJ. Gard called the meeting to
order and initiated the speechmaking
of the evening. Professor C. H. Horn.
as member of the association, spoke
freely and earnestly of the relation, In
a business way, that the city sustains
to the college, and made impressive
the fact, as it lay in his mind. that only
by maintaining the high moral stand
ard which has always characterized the
college and the city, will the best tinan-
cial interests of the city itself be sub
served.
j. w. Harpster spoke from the stand
point of the retired farmer regarding
the coming corn contest, and similar
plans that should largely identify the
interests of the farmers and the bust
ness men.
Rev. Elias Handy as the only repre-
sentative of the churches, all the other
ministers being for the evening, at
least, out of the city, spoke of the

ing towards arousing enthusiasm and
uniting all classes in work for the good
of the city, such as forming city band
= fov al lin, I,nr
ings, and for the summer evenings in

Grinnell rally day; and in some other
part of the year Sunday school day;
and also emphasized the absolute ne
ceccity of united effort in cleaning out
and thoroughly disinfecting any plague
spots that might be discovered in the
body polite.
Attorney A. C. Lyon, vice president Of
the association, spoke at some length,
especially emphasizing the immediate
necessity of strong effort upon the
part of the business men and all other
citizens to complete the fund for the
endowment of Iowa College, for which
there are but two working months re-
naming. He also spoke Of the hope
existing among THE Poweshieks'' that
a large number of the business men
may become members and that, when
they have properly remodeled and fitted
up the old +. B. Grinnell home for the
use of the club. it shall become the
center for the social enjoyment and
business conferences of the business
men.
r. F. Nuckolls gave report Of his
conference with the authorities on corn
and stock judging at Ames making
plain the fact that it will be impossible
to inaugurate a "short course" here
this year, but that all plans are be-
ing made to have it next year. In or
der to secure the services of the state
instructors, an organization of 100
farmers and 100 business men of the
city must be effected. There are now
seventy-five towns asking for these
short courses to be brought to them,
and but fifteen can be accommodated
in any one year. President Card named
the permanent committees and special
committee to organize the farmers, and
the meeting adjourned.
