creston Has First Lady Carrier.

Creston. Feb. 5.-Several places in
the state of Iowa are claiming the dis
tinction Of having the first or the only
lady rural route letter carrier in Iowa,
Now it may be true that these cities
and towns may have the first one OF
the gentler sex to deliver postal mat
ter in their particular localities, and
it may likewise be a fact that she is
the only one on duty going out from
their respective cities, but when it
comes to the first lady rural mail car
rier to ever do duty, Creston asks
all other cities, towns and villages IN
the state of Iowa to take off their
hats to the capital city OF Union
county.
It's got to be a mighty cold and
stormy day when the patrons on the
route of Miss A. Celestial Gummere
don't get their mail She has often
covered the territory assigned to hel
at times when carriers on other routes
have been forced to give up and re-
turn to the postoffice.

No Saloons at onawa.

Onawa, Feb. 5.-The city council OF
Onawa has decided that the town
should remain dry" by refusing to
grant four saloon licenses asked for by
M. M. Wise, Frank Wise, T. o. Cody
and A. j. Hoffman. The applications
of the four men were voted on at one
time, the vote being to 3 against
the saloons in Onawa.
1t now seems that there will be little
chance for the reinstatement Of sa'
looms here. An entire new city ad,
ministration will be elected this spring
and an effort will be put forth to elect
city council favorable to a dry
town.

EultOT courier.
This matter of price is not as great
a bugbear as lots of people seem to
think. There is a great increase in
the price Of butter and eggs and there
always will be fluctuations in the
prices of these articles as long as the
rule of supply and demand governs.
But eggs and butter are not all one
| lives on.
Right here, | want to say that I be-
lieve that the Republican protective
tariff is absolutely responsible for the
high prices, because it keeps the fac
tories in this country running and
! therefore, gives employment to the
people here and they have the money
to buy and they do buy, and they buy
SO much that it makes the manu-
facturer and the farmer and the re-
taller hustle as hard as they can to
get enough to supply them. Butter
and eggs were not so high when
Hogan's army was marching through
the northwest and Kelley's army
through the middle west and Coxey's
army was on its way to Washington.
AT that time there were about four
million men in this country that
| could not have bought dozen of eggs
at five cents dozen, because people
knew the tariff would be lowered just
as soon as the Democrats elected got
into the seats in congress, while now
a dealer can sell all he can get at 35
cents per dozen. Do not let yourself
| forget that always when the farmers
are prosperous everyone else is, too.
But the system of raising cattle and
of farming and of marketing much of
| the produce raised in this country, is
undergoing change. 1t is just in the
start of this Transformation. No one
! knows how it is going to be finally
! adjusted.
| AS regards the raising of beef, that
| is done absolutely different now from
what it was few years ago. Former
~ cattle were fed on a range in the
west. They were gotten in the best
condition that that kind of feed would
make them and then they were sold
TO the packing houses and butchered.
Naturally, a great many Of these cat
tie We're not very fat and the meat
was not OF the highest grade.
AS time went along and people got
more money, they refused to have that
class of meat. Now range cattle are
taken TO stock yards at Omaha, Kan
sas City, etc, and sold to commission
men there who in turn sell them to
the farmers who take them to the
| farms and fatten them up by better
| feeding and attention than they can
| get on the range. They then sell them
! to the packers who butcher them and
! sell the meat. That makes four
| freight rates against our piece of beef
| for dinner. Naturally, that is going to
make a change from the way 1t former,
! ly was, where the butcher went out to
| the farm and picked out the fatted calf
and took him into his own slaughter
house and butchered him and cut him
up for his market without giving him
even chance to see railroad.
A few years ago, the farmers fam
! lily Of boys and girls stayed at home
until they were married, and went out
to establish homes of their own The
father had his boys to help him in his
