HON. JOHN A. NASH
Of The Firm Of Nash & Phelps Of
Audubon Says Business is
Better Than Ever

Inreply to question as TO business,
Hon. John A. Nash said the other day
that it is better than ever; that they
never had so much to do as they have
this spring Referring to the loaning
of money, he spoke of the times when
the rate was as high as 36 per cent;
and how when it came down to 20 per
cent and per cent commission for
getting the loan, it was thought that
money was becoming comparatively
cheap. Many of the wealthy farmers
of the county now used to make leans
of Mr.. Nash and pay very high rates
because the money could not be SC
cured any cheaper In discussing the
matter he further said: ''When NC
ney got down to 10 per cent, man
with 1000 would receive thousand
year interest. With that money he
could purchase what he needed from
the farmers at very low prices. Now
est, {. man must have twenty thou
sand dollars to loan. With that mo-
ney now he must pay the farmers
three or four times as much for their
products. This simply shows that a
man depending upon the interest of
his money for living must have at
least four times as much as he did in
those former days wnen prices were
low and interest l0per cent. Moreover
while you may not believe it, l can
prove that farmer can buy Audubon
County land today at 500 per acre
and pay for it in half the time that he
could pay for new land in the early
days at IS per acre. Years ago we sup
posed that by this time the loan BUSH
ness would be of little account. But
instead of growing it has been con-
stantly on the increase. And this
condition indicates increasing pres
perity because the younger men are
buying homes of their own and CIV
ing heavy mortgages while they go
ahead and make the money to pay
them mp. Otherwise they could not
buy farms at all, but would have to
continue to rent. Yes the farm mort
gage so much decried by some people
years ago, has been the means of Civ
ing many people an opportunity to
get a home and pay for it; and many
of our rich farmers today owe their
success to the mortgage even though
they did have to pay high rate fo1
the money. "-Audubon Republican.

Glowing Tribute to Senator Cosson

The Marshalltown Times-Republi.
can staff correspondent at Des Moines
pays the following glowing tribute to
Senator George "osson of Audubon.
Some the Older senators are begin
ming to feel little jealous of the sue
cess and agressiveness of Senator Geo.
Cosson, of Audubon, who with the
passage through the senate Saturday
of the creamery competition bill, has
five big bills to his credit. These in
clude the bill to provide way for Sc
curing the removal of officials who
refuse to enforce the laws, bill better
defining the duties and responsible
ties of county attorneys, bill TO re-
quire that sheriffs shall be in fact law
enforcing officers, and q bill to limit
the time for taking appeals in crimi-
nal cases to six months instead of q
year. A mere statement of the char
acter of these bills show they are of
great Importance.
His bill to revise The law as to the
office of encouragement has not yet
been passed by the senate. OF course
some of these bills may fail in the ser
nate, but it is certain that no member
of either house has to his credit any
list of more important bills than these
Senator Cosson USED to be tele-
graph operator in Perry and along
the line of the Milwaukee, and as such
commenced the study of law. He is
young and persistent worker and has
had the enterprise to go right after
big things.

SENATOR COSSON
The Dignity Of The Law Must Be
Maintained. Bill He Introduced
Defining Duties of Certain
Officials

Only the signature of Governor Car
roll is now required to give two of the
Cosson bills for law enforcement the
dignity of laws.
BY vote of IS to 20 the house yes
terday passed the bill defining the du-
ties of county sheritfs. The bin to
defiue the duties of county attorneys
was passed few minutes later by
about the same vote. Representative
Lee presented both measures and ex-
planned their purpose.
With school and roads legislation
defeated, the Cosson bills now share
honors with the Whipple bill for a
single board of control as the most inn
portant legislation that is likely TO
be enacted this year. Register and
Leader.

urlqIn Of the Mennon,1es.

The Mennonites grew out of four
sects of Dutch, Flemish and German
Baptists. They derive their name from
Memo Simons, Catholic priest who
became a leader of the Anabaptists in
about 1887. Simons was born in 1892
and died in 1887. His True Christian
Belief was published three years be-
fore his death. Following the death of
the leading spirit the sect underwent
divisions and changes of creed.

The German army dogs are so
trained that when they find dead
body they set up a prolonged bowling.
If no one comes they take the dead
mans cap or some small article, and
with this in their teeth go on hunt

gives his cap to the dog and the same
object is accomplished.
