Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, January 19.-(Special)-l Liverpool did not fully respond to the improvement of yesterday and while this market was supported from time to time there was slow selling from outside interests which followed the arhitraxe demand Little was heard ,f the ginners' report, whiclNis now ex- pected to he bullish.
 Many advices were received of good demand for grades in the south, which could not be supplied on tho basis previously existing with this market In fact, all of the telegrams were of bullish character which gave a market for the sellers
 March was bought against sales ~ May. The action of he spinners was passed aside as of little value, as all know they must be losing money at the present prices of cotton and yarns. Little change is expected in the mar ket before the ginnsrs' report.

A Serious Ofense.

Jewell Record: Bert F. Keltz and
his fellow conspirators against the
peace and dignity of the world at
large deserve to be shot, hung,
drawn and quartered, scalped, and
few other things. That offer OF
sixty dollars prize money for the
best song entitled "Put Me Down
Gently" In honor Of the Gotch-
Hackenschmidt wrestling match has
brought out the most wierdly hor-
rible flood Of bum verse with which
a long silently suffering people was
ever afflicted. Beside, we ourself
have lost about half day OF
mighty valuable time convincing
ourself that we have no chance to
win the prize money. We are go
ing to charge that time UP to the
genial Bert.

Authorizations are Large.

The duck hunting season win
soon be in full swing and followers
of this sport are cleaning up their
guns in anticipation of the best
shooting season for several years.
The largest game of this variety has
been arriving in this vicinity in
great numbers the past three or
four days. While the teals have
been quite numerous at the differ
ent lakes and ponds around the
country, the mallards, blue bills.
SPIKE tails and canvas backs have
been very scarce till a few days
ago. These larger members Of the
duck family stay in the north until
it becomes so cold there is no open
water left, which makes 1t neces-
sary for them to migrate to warmer
climates until the cold is over, stay
ing in this country but short time

They lay out plan and then
work toward that end everlasting

which to strive, ones life can cas-
lily be frittered away on mere
trifies-things that amuse for the

president of these United States,
foresaw the effects OF this tendency
when he said "The home Is the

1t takes backbone. though, to

Watermelon Day Echo.

Story City Herald: Yes, We edi-
tor was one OF the mob that werld-
ed its way to Webster City last
Thursday to see Taft and eat water
melon. It was a damp day, after a
still damper night, but for all that
Webster City held what was per-
haps the largest crowd that ever
visited the place. And we guess
everybody was satisfied with their
pilgrimage. There was plenty Of
watermelon, three brass bands, a
fine parade, three merry go-rounds,
two ball games, lot of lemonade
stands and knife racks, and of
course everybody got view Of the
president OF the United States and
most of the people heard him. We
had seen Taft before, but We're cur
ious to see IL the worries Of his Of
fee had made him any thinner. We
were glad to note that he is as big
and fat as ever, though he Is a lir-
tie balder on the top Of his head.
Mayor Sparboe introduced the
president. He did 1t In just thirty
one words--which was splendid
feature Of his otherwise good
speech. BY the way, it struck us
that Sparboe is taking his office
harder than Taft IL his. At any
rate, he appeared thin and drawn.
Perhaps it was fright at the great
honor that was his which made him
look that way. President Taft
spoke only few minutes and de-
voted his remarks to his veto Of the
wooden ,and cotton tariff bills passed
by the extra session. He made 1t
clear that when the proper time
comes he will recommend the tariff
measures which will be based upon
knowledge rather than guess-work.
Taft Is no orator, but speaks clear
ly and earnestly. No man who
heard him in Webster City coa.d
fail to understand what he was
driving at. And as far as We could
note. there was general agreement
with him on the matter which he
touched.
