Iowa Never Fails.

Iowa soil can stand more drought
than any section of equal area in
the United States, according to a
statement by DR.. Chapel, of the
Iowa weather service. This is not
a new discovery, but it has had to
do with large measure of prosper
ity. Our people have many times
been badly frightened by light pre-
cipitation, but rarely, very rarely
indeed, have staple crops been cut
short by such condition. When
all available agricultural area has
been thoroughly tried out it will
appear that in soil capacity and
substantial merit no land anywhere
is more valuable for farming pur-
poses than that of our own state.
While our farms have been rapidly
rising in value, their intrinsic merit
and future worth is not yet gener-
ally understood.

A Potato Freak.

The Walker News records the dis.
covery of quite potato freak: "W
B. Harris discovered a hill of pota-
toes in his garden last week that
was so unusual in growth as to be a
real curiosity. The potatoes were
growing like tomatoes on the vine
above the ground instead of in the
dirt beneath. When the vine was
pulled up it was found that there
were no roots and that the portion
beneath the ground was practically
dead, evidently having been eaten
off by some worm or insect. But ma
ture was not to be cheated in this
way. and being denied the oppor-
tunity to produce a crop in the
usual way, it had sent all of the
substance up through the branches
OF the plant, producing well
formed potato at almost every
joint or union of the vine"

MARKET LETTE.;.
Report of Great Western Stock Mar.
ket at Kansas City.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug.
10, 191O.-lt was a good week in
the stocker and feeder trade, end
ing last Saturday, although there
was considerable price fluctuation.
Values were sometimes higher, but
the close was not much different
from the close of the previous
week. The first days of the week
there was strong call for brand
ed westerns, 1850 to 1850 lbs,
which brought $40 to $5.25, but
the last days of the week competi-
ton from country buyers was not
so good on these, and they went to
killers at 10 to 20 cents less. Stock
steers sold strong all week, and
closed 10 to 10 higher for the
week. Better outlook for fall pas
lures is keeping the run down, as
the supply here today is but $4,000
head, somewhat under expectations
The market is steady to strong to-
day, and there are a good many
buyers here from the country. One
choice lot of black yearlings sold
early today at $3.50, and another
drove of branded yearlings, good
colors, brought $4.4O. Medium to
common stockers sell at $500 to
$500, and fancy feeders, in strong
flesh, bring up to $500. Stock
cows and heifers sell at $500 to
$3.50 for bulk of sales, although
several cars of high bred heifers
from New Mexico sold last week at
1915. The initial shipments OF
Colorado mountain steers will be
here tomorrow, and panhandle cat
tie will come more freely each
week from now on. Best corn fed
steers today brought $3.50, and
straight grass steers in native divi-
sion range from $4.65 to $5.75,
quarantine grass steers $3.50 to
$3.50 today, grass cows 1925 to
$500, bulls $500 to 1896, veal
calves $500 to $3.50.

Camping Out at Home.

within the reach of nearly every.
one.
1T is good to go camping, tc
have shack with wide veranda in
among the trees hidden away from
dust and noise, cool, quiet, sequest.
ered, the Marshailtown Times
Republican says "a tent on an
overhanging bluff where the river
whispers below and a spring spark
les out half way down the slope is
a summer delight and medicine for
tired muscles and strained nerves
But If you can't have them for one
reason or another, 5 cents worth
OF mosquito bar or a few yards OF
screen wire offer you the madica-
ments of the open air. Drag ont
the bed to the porch. Don't l;ghy
the lamps. Go to bed early and
after week of early to bed and
early to rise feel your pulse, look
at your tongue and take stock of
improvement. You can camp out at
home.
But the real outdoors is the
thing. The real woods and the flut-
ter of leaves, the swift oncoming of
the night and the sudden advent of
the morning are the real goods.
Have them if you can. Take them
If you must. Life is short and one
is long time dead. Why hurry out
OF one into the other?
Ever lie down under tree
wrapped in a blanket in the deep
woods when the darkness came sift-
ing in through the branches soft
and heavy as snowfall? Still,
deathly still, at first until your ear
tuned itself to the multitudinous
whisperings of forest night. A
bird chirps peevishly as it is dis
turbed. The ripple on the river
swells into distinctness. A rabbit
runs by, his padded footballs as dis
tinct as the clatter of galloping
horse on paved street. Insects
boom past. All through the woods
are whisperings and the sense of
unseen companionship. Far, far
from infinite distances, comes the
ghost of locomotive whistle. How
good the night. smells and how light
ly the gentle breeze lifts your hair
and then 1t is all at once broad
daylight, the birds are singing, the
east is red and you are wide awake
and hungry with another day ahead
all your own. 1t is good to be
alive. Everything says so, the birds
the trees, the river, your own soul
That's the real thing when the prim-
alive man stirs in you and life is
a physical joy. That's the reaI
thing.
$50 camping if you can-and bt
cautious in your selection of com.
panions. If you can't go camping
screens. tacks, hammer. cot and
east or south porch and content
come next best. And they are good
enough to cheat doctors with
