HIGHER BUTTER SEEN.
President of EIgin Board of Trade
Sees Big Increase.

Chicago. Aug. 2.-Consumers who are
looking for a drop in the prices of some
of the necessities of life will not get
any drop on butter, according to John
Newman, president of the Elgin Board
of Trade. After the board had increas-
ed the rice a cent a pound Monday,
Mr.. Newman said it was his opinion
that even higher prices were coming
before winter.
Butter will be at prices to exceed
anything in the last few years before
the winter is well started said Mr..
Newman 1.-THE present dry weather is
the cause of This prospect. The talk of
sc cent butter is ridiculous however"
The price was advanced from 81 to %
members reported that pastures in their
regions were dry and worthless and
that farmers had already begun to give
their cows feed that should be saved
for winter.

CORN REPORTS ARE sANGU1NE.
Damage by Drouth and Hot Winds
Exaggerated, 1t Is Said.

Reports received today by l. D. Gra-
ham of the Kansas Farmer, from all
parts of Kansas show that previous re-
ports of excessive damage to the corn
crop on account of drought and hot
winds have been exaggerated.
With the exception of Doniphan
county. corn in the northeastern por-
ton of the state is apparently in good
condition. In the central portion OF
the tate crops have suffered in Os-
borne county. although in the sur
rounding counties conditions are not
alarming. Even in the extreme west
ern portion the damage is not esti-
mated at more than is or 20 per cent.
The early corn has not suffered as Sc
verely as the corn of later planting.

Lots of Fine Bread.

The bread baking contest held
by Bradfield e Gardner in which
they give away six sacks of flour for
the best bread baked from their
celebrated Ardee flour, was closed
last Saturday afternoon at o'clock,
there being about fifty contestants,
two big tables being filled with lus-
cious loaves of bread which were
entered in the contest.
The bread was simply numbered,
the judges, Mrs. w. C. Still and Mrs.
H. U. Leighty, of Garden Grove, not
knowing whose bread they was iudg-
ing. They awarded first prize, three
sacks of Ardee flour, to Mrs. T. S.
Arnold, of Leon, second prize, two
sacks of Ardee -four to Miss Fannie
Clark, of Leon, and third prize, one
sack of Ardee -four, to Mrs. Charles
Gunter, of Leon.
Bradfield & Gardner were well
pleased with the result of the con-
test, as it showed that there were
many good bread bakers in this
vicinity, and that they all liked Ardee
flour. The Reporter editor was kind
| ly presented with the first prize LOAF
and we can testify that it was good
bread

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Henry j. Vogt came near be-
ing the victim of fatal accident
at her home in this city one day last
week. She had turned on the gasoline
stove to generate when her attention
was called elsewhere for a few min
utes, and the gasoline ran down un-
der the stove into a bucket. When she
lighted the stove shortly after the
gasoline in the bucket ignited and
blazed up and she attempted to put it
out with water, and in doing SO her
apron caught fire and in moment
the whole front of her apron and the
light dress she wore was on fire.
Her daughter, Miss Henrietta, was
in the room and she caught up rug
and wrapped it about her mother and
extinguished the flames, but it was a
very narrow escape, as the lace tie
which she wore at her neck was
burned, but the prompt action OF
Miss Henrietta saved her mother
from being burned.

Freezes of Other Years.

The freeze which killed So much
fruit the past week has caused good
deal of talk about freezing weather
in other years. Mr.. M F. Springer,
of Center township, keeps a careful
record of the weather each day in the
year, and he tells us that in 1907 on
April 30th we had five inches of
snow. On May 3rd there was
snow and the thermometer was down
to rs, the next day it was at the
freezing point, and on May 18th
there was heavy snow, yet that year
we had fair crop of cherries, apples
and plums. On April 27, 1908, the
mercury was at the freezing point,
and on May End it was at 26 degrees,
six degrees below freezing, and that
year we had no apples or cherries.
Last spring the mercury was down

candidate for judge, and while he
does not propose to seek the nomina-
Ion, he has agreed to accept it if
rendered him, and if nominated he
would make an active canvass to be
elected Mr. McGinnis is recognized
as one of the best attorneys in the
state of Iowa, and his services have
been called into requisition frequent
ly by the judges of the district court
to hear cases as Master in Chancery
and Referee, and his findings in each
instance have been approved. He
has practiced law in every county in
the district, and is regarded as one of
the best attorneys in the state. There
is scarcely an important case tried
in any of the counties adjoining his
home in which he does not appear.
The democrats of the district have
for several years made no nomina-
tions for judges, declining to contest
the present judges, but now that
there is to be at least one new Judge,
it is nothing more than fair that
there should be democrat on the
bench. The news that Mr.. McGinnis
would accept the nomination will be
received with Joy among the attor-
neys and many others in all parts of
the district.
