CONDITION OF MARKET

Market is very active as to sales, but
for some unforeseen reason prices have
declined, for since January l, 1921 hogs
heads more have been sold than receiv-
ed, under the same conditions any other
necessity would enhance il price. The
demand for Maryland tobacco is greater
today than for ten years. Planters take
warning.

WHAT We Should AlM TO ACCOMPLISH,

Leading editorial written for the Review thir.

took charge OF the paper as editor and proprietor
One of the essential conditions of
success being distinctness and pre-

certain fundamental rules of journal

3. Music, the fine arts. lectures.

characterization of farm and village
homes, good roads and walks, the
planting of groves and orchards, in
fact all efforts to make home life
comfortable and pleasant, should be
encouraged.

between rich and poor. and between
men of different religious and politi-
cal opinions should be fostered. and
fanaticism. which brings strife and
discord. no matter upon what plaus-

be frowned down.
5. All questions relating to good
government such as cheap transpor-
tation, tariff. taxation. the relations
between various classes of society the
solution of the labor and capital prob.
lens should be discussed with mod

THE FIGHT IS ON.

disputants as to the rights and wrongs
of the senatorial succession, we fee

The Marshalltown paper insists up
on the divine right of Cummins. Per
kins. with twinkle in his eye. which
most of his critics fail to see, sug-
gests Carroll for Senator and Clarke
for Governor The Register anc
Leader. the Cedar Rapids Blythite,
thunder fatuously as to harmony anc

Young spends his Capital lavishly in
inventing snares for Cummins feet.
Gentlemen, it is condition. not a
theory that confronts US. The sena-
torship is plum worth fighting for
and it is going to be fought for. If
Cummlns can beat Haugen and Lacey
and Smith with the stand-pat backing
behind them. he will win. The men
who have been following the Governor
devotedly for years are not going to
allow the victory to be wrested from
them INTERESTINGLY. The republicans
who were anything to beat Cum
ins'' did not die with the senior sena-
tor and they also will fight to the last

In he game is chump and deserves
the defeat that will be his.
No truce that might now be de-
clared could be lived up to. And if
it was, no one would believe it.
Our advice is to shake hands and
get to your corners, for Time has
been called.
The effect of the senatorial fight
upon tue rest of the election is diff
cult to estimate. In some places it
will insure large republican vote
which will favurably effect the head
of the ticket but which will be dis
astrous to other candidates. 1t is
very possible that the outcome wi !
he the election of a darnncra tic Sena
tor and it is sure that the republicans
will lose ccores of county Offices on
account of the great contest. 1t is
unfortunate. but it is inevitable, and
the preliminary palaver among a
coterie of editors who would rather
be burned at the stake than agree
with one another is such child's play
that it wakes tiresome.

SEC'Y. WILSON
AN 0PTIMIST
FORETEIIS $500 AN ACRE LAND IN IOWA
SOON.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS The LIMIT.
lana Banker Says Good Land viii be Worth
$500 IN Quarter Century.

Editor Taylor of Traer. has started
an argument upon the subject. "What,
Will Iowa Land Be Worth Per Acre
Twenty-Five Years From Now The
first man to answer the question was
Secretary Wilson of Washington. He
contended that if prices continued.
the population increase was main.
tanned, and the world demanded as
much of the farmer in the future as,
it has in the past. that Iowa land
would bring $500 per acre. j. l..
Bracken, president of the First Ma
tional bank at Tama. thinks that Sec
rotary Wilson Isl stingy about his
figures and that his horoscope should
be enlarged by study of the situa-
ton. Mr.. Bracken reasons out his
theory OF $500 per acre for Iowa land
AS follows:
elm my opinion the best farms in
the county OF anywhere in this latir
tude in Iowa twenty five years, hence
will bring $500 or $500 per acre..
'My reasons for thinking so are
simply these. All the land on this
continent has been discovered. so it
is now question of backing up, and
energeticallv and. intelligently de-
veloping it. In the days Of the rewo,
luton there were three million people
/ in the United States. AT the. begin
ming of the civil war there were
thirty million. On this basis of in
crease in the population. it is not I'M
reasonable to presume that we viii.
have 14O. 100000. people under the
stars and stripes on this continent.
and the question arises. what can the
people do. but to divide up these farms
and settle down on ten and twenty
acres for home. The average size
of farm i'm France today is twenty
acres and their hest farms are selling
| from $500 to 81 900 per acre.

Has a Miniature Watch.

j. v. Barborka has in his posses
sion ring made by his father many
w ars ago when he was a matchmaker
in the city of Prague. The Golden
Prague as it is lovingly called by
European travellers The ring is
unique in that in place of a setting it
bears tiny watch. The watch is a
little larger than dime and still
keeps excellent time. 1t is all hand
work and all the work of Mr.. Bar
borka Sr. Several tempting offers
have been made for this triumph of
watch making but the Baraborka
family intend keeping it as an heir
loom. At present the miniature watch
is on exhibition at the Baraborka
jewelry store.
