The Des Moines Commercial club, de-
clared yesterday that the Iowa Retail
Hardware association exposition in
The Coliseum from March to March 4
will be the largest display of hard
ware ever seen west of New York
"The expectations of the officers of
the association have been more than
realized in the responses coming from
dealers and manufa cturers and it is
known now that every available foot
of the big arena with it's $4,000 square
feet of space will be utilized" said Mr..
Botsford ''In short, it has been found
necessary to induce local manufacture
ers to relinquish eight of the perman-
ent booths and to put booths upon the
stage to provide for all applicants.
."Over 100 spaces have been sold
and the exhibits will include every
conceivable line handled by the hard
ware trade. The displays of stoves,
furnaces. fire arms. cutlery ETC., will
be exceptionally strong and those Of
building hardware will eclipse any
thing OF the kind ever seen in the
west A number of strong specialties
that have not been shown before will
be exhibited and demonstrated at this
chow MANY of the old time exhibit
0rs have largely increased their dis
olays because of the ample room pro-
vided.
The prospects of a splendid and
varied show are affecting the prob
able attendance and the responses
coming to Secretary a. r. Sales indi-
cate that all of the previous records
will be eclipsed. It is confidently ex-
nected now that upward of 1890 bona

Gets Reply from New Jersey.
Creston, Feb. 22.-One day last
April, while w. A. McQuiston, travel
ing agent for the Farrell Syrup com
pany, was going through West Point,
Neb., he stopped off there to visit Will
liam Steiren, the leading grocer Of
that place. Mr. Steiren was busy at
the time and McQuiston sat down to
wait.
AS he was waiting he noticed case
of fresh country eggs lying close be-
side him. So, in an distracted man.
ner, he took one of the eggs, wrote
the said hen fruit. and replacing it in
the case he thought nothing more
about it.
Yesterday, returning from a trip
through the west, Mr.. McQuiston
found the following letter awaiting
him:
February 4, 1910.
"W. A. McQuiston-
Dear Sir: l write to you through
very strange way l found an egg
with your address on it. l am with
Childs' Grocery company. l am very
anxious to find out about the western
states with reference to work and
wages and chances for a young
man. | also would like to exchange
some scenes on postals. Hoping to
hear from you soon, am your friend,
Howard w. Louder,
"517 Division St., Camden, N. j."
The little eleven-month journey of
the West Point egg has been the
source of great shock to Mr.. McQuis-
ton, who is now wondering what be
came of the other fruit in the case
and what the pure food Investigators
would think about it If they should
but hear.

of the shining lights of the Thousand

ton Of personal privilege.
"Mr. Chairman and fellow spend

ton Of J. s. Barker for county sur

though. and that speech has been
ranking in my system until I've just
got 10 get il out. Here goes:
'Mr. Chairman. ladies and gentle

Put my candidate for county sur
veyOr on the speakers platform and
ask him what we have been doing
with that thousand dollars day. and
he will change a deck of cards into

ASK him why it is that the property

friend Barker win pull an orange out
of his left ear and a bowl OF soup
from his watch pocket.

There was a round of applause. led
by the king pin of the inner circle.
while the whole of the circle read the
report Of the treasurer. which con-
sisted OF a list OF contributions from
Frank Kimball TO the campaign fund.
A committee was appointed to check
up on Kimbalfs collections during the
