spent on q farm with his parents. His
early education he acquired at an
academy at Athens, Ohio.
In 1850, Mr.. Woodland, now grown to
manhood, and enthused by the words
of Horace Greedy, 60 West Young
Man" left the old homestead in, Ohio
for this great and undeveloped terri
tory Reaching what was then the new
state of Iowa, ne found our common
wealth great unsettled prairie, with
no efficient railroad west Of the Mis-
sissippi river. Not disheartened by the
difficulties which confronted him and
endowed with the courage which char
scterized the pioneers OF our country,
he started out across the rolling
prairies afoot to find home in this
new land At this early date he visited
the capital Of our state, which was
then located at Iowa City. The town OF
Hedrick was better known those days
as Haws Point Mr.. Woodland spent a
number OF years teaching school in
Lee and Lucas counties, and also in

tive part in school and church affairs.

APPL|CANTS FILL
PRESCRIPTIONS
STATE PHARMACY COMMISSION
PLANS INNOVATION FOR Civ.
ING EXAMINATIONS.

Des Moines, Oct, 17.-Radical
changes in the methods of conducting
their state examinations have been an
nounced by members of the state
pharmacy commission. The changes
affect the equipment for taking the
examinations and the marks which
shall be attained to register for the
examination.
Hereafter. if the executive council
will stand for the necessary expense,
the state pharmacy commission will
have the equipment necessary to give
those who take the state pharmacy
examinations practical chance to fill
prescriptions as much as answering
questions. Every state which is
keeping step with the times has the
equipment to give those taking the
examination chance to fill perscrip-
tons as part of the examination 1--WE
shall ask the state to give us the
proper equipment and to have it ready
if possible. before the next quarterly
examination. We have also adopted
the oral examination system which is
used with the written examination. It
works excellently."
The commission. through Mr.. Glen
ents, also announced that in an effort
to raise the standard of druggists in
Iowa no registration will be permitted
by a person who has fallen below go
per cent in any one subject and who
does not have a general average over
rs per cent These are the require
ments of the national association for
reciprocal states and as Iowa is now
such state the board intends to raise
the standard for entrants into the pro-
fession

SUGAR CARGOES
WELL HANDLED
(Correspondence of the starr


HlLO, July 15.-Among the visitors
in Hilo at the present time is A. NJ.
Novel; of the Sugar Factors Company,
who came up on the American-Ha-
waiiar steamer Alaskan, 10 familiarze
himself with the details of the shir.
menrs of sugar from the ports OH the
outside islands. Before coming here
lie watched the handling of sugar at
kahului and Kaanapali, and has 1cen
not only looking into the actual han5.
ling of sugar rn board the American
Hawaiian vessel, but also at the va.
rious landings in this vicinity. In
speaking of the matter he said.
Il have been spending considerable
time in looking into the shipping of
sugar from this port, which is 0r
especial interest, as sugar here is not
only handled from lighters, as is the
case at Kahului and Kaanapali, but is
coming on board at the same time
from the Inter-lsland steamers. Dur
ing the first day or two thac | was
here there was not so much going on,
as the Wilhelmina was handling
sugar, which held back the work on
the Alaskan.
From what l have seen l should
say that the work was being carried
on very well and smoothly here, and
the great companies seem to work
very well together. The crop here this
year is large, but is being easily
handled and everything is going along
very smoothly"

COFFEE MARKET
MOVES UPWARD


Willett & Gray, July Coffee prices
have made another move upward in a
natural way and because the position
itself is impregnable, Once more cof
fee itself leads the movement, solely
on the question of supply and demand,
because production is smaller than
consumption and available supplies
are dangerously small This one fact
is thrown out in holder relief because
trade holdings in the interior are so
insignificant and the necessities of the
consuming trade are so great and SO
urgent. Another strong feature is the
heavy short interest in the speculative
markets in consuming countries, and
as frequently predicted in these re-
ports, actual coffee will lead the spec
ulative markets and assert it's true
merits over and above manipulation
and unhealthy tactics.
Week ending July July option,
highest 11.32, lowest 1899, closing
1872; same time last year, 675.
