MARKET BREAKS FROM 60
CENTS A PECK TO 65 CENTS
A BUSHEL IN DIES MONIES
WHEN CHIEF EXECUTIVE
GETS BUSY.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. 25.-
When Mayor James Hama opened
the city market place four months
ago, potatoes sold at 60 cents a
peck.
Today patrons of the market
bought all they wanted of the
best quality at 60 cents a bushel.
The potato trust" is broken
Mayor Hanna broke it. One car
load of potatoes which he shipped
into Des Moines and sold at 65
cents a bushel brought prices
tumbling.
Lytton, the mayors secretary,
found that within thirty miles OF
Des Moines farmers were selling
potatoes for 40 and 46 cents. The
commission men were swapping up
the tubers, shipping them to Des
Moines and reselling at 100 per
cent profit.
Mayor Hanna heard Lytton's re-
port and got busy. He contracted
for car OF potatoes to be shipped
from Durant. The potatoes co.'s
SO cents and were of the best
quality. Estimating freight
charges, shringage and cost Of
handling at 15 cents a bushel
Mayor Hanna decided on a price
of 65 cents. The potatoes arrived
and five big transfer wagon!

wagons drove In at GAS a. m. ant

them were on horseback. Later
in the day Price, hurrying to re-
inforce the attacked command,
met a staff officer who told him
the deserted confederate handful

that Price looked disgustedly at

SHORT SHAv|NGs

When one is a keeper of a lodg-
ing house, one must not lower
ones guard for moment, ii
seems. when dealing with human
mature. Not that human nature
will always take advantage of a
lodging house keeper. But ask
any lodging house keeper if he has
no milk of human kindness, and
he will tell you yes, plenty of 1T,
but he has dished 1t out so often
to such as have helped themselves
to 1t, bottle and all, that now 1t
is kept padlocksd when delinquent
dodgers are around. All of which
however reasonable, is very pessi-
mistic.
A So. e st. landlady illustrated
this cynical point of view recently
in case of young man who was
going to distant city owing her
two weeks room rent. She prompt
ly collared his trunk. You'll not

proclaimed.
But, madam, have compass

me have my clothes. When 1 get

acid tones. You'd jump at the
