day over the prospect Of making this city
a leading land market Mr. Rosewater told
the exchange that vast areas OF land in
the western states were to be had by deal
ers in this city for service in making sales.
The appear ance by Mr. Rosewater. on IN
vitatlon from c. c. George. president of
the exchange, served to give the members
revelation as TO the possibilities which
were al their hand for, extended business.
The representative OF the Land show eX-
planned that the opening up OF Omaha as
a central lard selling point for the uni m
TIED territory of the west had been the
greatest definite result of the show. Gen.
ersl results had been to interest the public
in the western direction in opposition to
the unnatural drift OF migration north
into Canada and south into Mexico.
There is an excellent chance for real
estate men OF this city to make business
connections with the great irrigation and
agencies he referred TO- and to assist them

By some, the delay is taken to mean
that the company has decided on plan

THE YOUNGEST SOLDIER.

That Iowa furnished the youngest
soldier in the civil war in the person
of a boy Just past fifteen years old
when he was discharged, has been
proven beyond doubt in the recogni
ton of the fact by the United States
government, in investigating civil
war records during the course of is
suing pension.
The youngest soldier who carried
musket in the civil war was William
Bales, now of Marshalltown, a native
of Jefferson county, and private in
Company X, Seventh Iowa infantry,
known as the Fighting Quakers." Mr..
Bales is a member OF the Soldiers
home, but is now on a furlough.
That Mr.. Bales was late recruit,
served but short time and was ex.
ceptionally young when he enlisted,
are necessary requisites in giving him
the distinction of being the youngest
civil war veteran on active duty as a
private.
Bales was only fourteen years old
when he enlisted In the Seventh Iowa
at Burlington. and when the guns Of
the civil war were silenced by peace
the young soldier was not yet fifteen.
He'was oniyia trifie past his fifteenth
anniyersary when he was discharged.
Bales was a native Of Pleasant Plain.

Thomas and Fannie Ferell and was

years old. The departed sister was
great sufferer for many months.
She ended the journey OF life Friday,

years, 2 months and 20 days. She

GREAT is IOWA,

Cedar Rapids Republican: One hun
bred dollars were carried home by
one Linn county farmer Friday, as
the proceeds from one load of pota-
toes. He had fifty bushels of pota-
toes in the load and they were eX-
ceptionally good ones. The dealers
bought them for 50 a bushel, which
is cheap at this time of year. The
man who has a good patch of pota'
toes this year has something that Is
akin to a gold mine. A real good patch
at that rate ought to bring from $500
to $500 an acre. If they had such an
instance in California they would
have it photographed and sent all oV-
er the country, as showing the pro-
ductivity of the soil. In Iowa, how
ever, We treat it as a merely ordinary
event. We raise such crops as that
all the time and think nothing of it.
OF course, potatoes do not always
command such a price. Compared
with the good old times that we some.
times here about, the 81 bushel pc.
tatoes are quite contrast. What
farmer who can remember back thir,
" years can not recall the tine
when he hauled potatoes to market
for ten cents a bushel?

OLD TIME IOWA EDITOR.

The death OF Ralph Robinson, OF
Newton, marks the passing OF one OF
the pioneer editors of Iowa, and the
transmigration of the old time school
of journalism. Up until he sold his
property and retired from active lie
about year ago, Mr.. Robinson cldhg
to the old blanket form of newspaper
for the Journal, and told the most
striking and sensational stories of the
day, in a few lines of type vita
very modest headlines. These evi.
dences of his ideas were characteris-
tic of the man. His principles were
fixed and he stood by what he thought
was right, and by his friends regard
less OF consequences. His life was
clean and inspiring and the world ~
better for the years that he labored
among his fellow men.
The life story of Mr.. Robinson il
linked closely with the advance of
printing and journalism In the United
States from the days OF the hand set
type and man power presses to the
present time OF machine-made type
and power-propelled presses. He Was
born In Washington, Pa, Sept. II,
1880. and at the age OF IL years be-
gan his work as a printer, being en-
ployed by the Rev. Cornelius Springer
who then was editor Of the Western
Recorder, methodist paper
tAfter working with the Rev. Mir.
Springer a short time. he went to
and later to Wheeiing.

-Tama Herald: Are the Musou,

-Tama Herald: Are the Musqua-
kies progressing? That is foolish
question for a man to ask who has
seen them riding in their own automo-
biles. Last week Joseph lesson, the
interpreter of the tribe, snapped a
bunch of horses for David Jewett's
Mason automobile, and nearly every
day since Joe and his family have
filled that auto and enjoyed trips to
town. With an Indian at the steer
ing gear and with nothing but Indians
in the machine, all gaily decked out
in their gala attire, one is tempted
to believe as he sees them that he has
just awakened from a Rip Van Win
kle slumber of many years and is
back again in Tama for the second
time. The Musquakies are certainly
progressing. Maybe the little old au,
tomobile will do more for their re-
generation than generations of school
teachers and missionaries have been
able TO accomplish.

Jefferson county, where he was born
June 23d, 1850. He was SON of Ca.
leb Bales, and it was without the con-
sent of either his father or mother
that he left home in the winter of
1864, in company of veteran of the
war, named Shaffer, from Oskaloosa,
who had been assigned to recruiting
duty, and went to Burlington to en-
list.
Bales accompanied his regiment
with Gen. Sherman on the great At,
lanta campaign, during the winter of
1864 and spring of 1866, and by reas-
on of his youth he was used to ad-
vantage as a spy, entered the rebel
lines in Virginia and obtained useful
information for his commander, Gen.
Rice. While on a foraging expedition
in Virginia Bales and his bunkmate,
Jesse Hockett, were surrounded by a
SQUAD of rebel cavalry and attacked
in a small shack where the two feder-
ais had taken shelter. In the Skin
mish Bales received saber cut
across the right temple, which serves
to remind him of his youthful exper-
fences. He was honorably discharg.
ed at Louisville, KY, July II, 1866.
Following the war Mr.. Bales came
back to his native Iowa and settled
at Indianola, where he was engaged
in the painting and decorating bust
ness for twenty years. Following his
residence at Indianola he lived at
Allen, Emmerson and Ponca, Neb. He
entered the Home two years ago last
winter. Mr.. Bales is pensioner at
the rate Of $40 per month. his pres,
emit age, 81, preventing him from re-
ceiving a larger pension. He is a
widower, his wife. having died in
1874. He has one son, Caleb Bales,
living at Osceola. During the sum-
mer months Bales still follows his
trade, that of a painter, and is a
member of the local painters and
paperhangers' union No. 254 at Mar
shalltown.

Miss French, lowa's author,
known as Octave Thanet", in an in
terview published at Davenport said
What the working girl is pe"ishing
for is not votes but common or gar
den sense. If she had it she would
mt risk her soul and body in unsan'
itary, underpaid, crowded trades in
which sire does one firing over afad
over learning nothing that will ever
help her or fit her to be a wife or
mother; when she has only to go to
the nearest intelligence office to find
good wages, good food, all the hot wat
er she wants; and every opportunity
to learn what will help her all her life
long. Where we are idiots is that
we have not made this plain to her
long ago."
