M arket Notes,

More than half the cattle received
Tuesday consisted of western range
stock, which left a very small supply
of native stock for the market. Steers
were especially scarce, as at least
Is per cent of the whole run was cows
and heifers. Values were generally
steady, with firm feeling for such
cattle as were fat enough to be suit
able.
There was a better demand for
good stockers and feeders and prices
sowed a little gain for the desirable
kinds. The country inquiry was
broader than it has been for some
time because of rains over a large
part of the country.
At the start Tuesday the sheep and
lamb trade was close to steady, but
later in the day weakened and prices
went down 10@15c. 1t was a slow
market most of the time, especially
for the common stuff and most of the
receipts consisted of that class.

FUN FoR THE OLD GUARD.

Bedford Times Republican: These
are great days for the 'old guard"
Can you imagine the mirth that must
be in The minds. and in the hearts Of
the Hepburns. the Laceys, the Hulls,
the Counsines, the Smiths, and the
men from Kansas and Nebraska and
Minnesota who stood with them
against political demagoguery and
hypocrisy. LATE Young, who has means
of expressing himself to the public
daily, is having the time of his life,
while the so-called progressives are
wabbling around, straddling, using
methods heretofore condemned by
them and condemning measures here.
tofore advocated by them, practically
all of them getting right around to
the position so roundly denounced
when beld by the "old guard" Poor
old Henderson and Allison could not
live to see. the day they knew was com
ing, but the above mentioned are all
here enjoying the discontinue of their
traducers.
These are great days for the "old
guard" They have lived to see Cum
minis and the entire Iowa delegation
in congress, with the exception OF
Hubbard, opposing, a Canadian recip
rocity pact. They, have lived to see
Cannon rules put back in operation
after being torn to shreds while the
insurgent band played. They have
lived to see the chief complainants
against them (the magazine publish

methods of S"the interests" They
have lived to see these same maya
zine publishers under Indictment fol

INSURANCE RATES IN IOWA

A tabulation has been made of the
average rate on fire insurance per
500 of liability assumed in Iowa from
as published in the state reports
were taken as a basis, the average
being obtained by dividing the prem
iums received by the amount of liabil-
ity assumed. The figures of the mu-
tual companies were excluded. Fer
the five-year period ending with 1880
the average rate for the Iowa COM
panies was $256, and for the subse-
quent five-year periods was as fol
lows: 1885, $1.97; 1890, $2.11; 1895,
1926; 1905, 1927; 1910, $2.O4.
For the companies of other states
and foreign countries the average
rate for the similar five year periods
was as follows: For the period end
ed with 1880, S129; 1885, $1.36; 1890
$136; 1895, $142; 1900, $1.33; 1905,
S1.29; 1910, $1.21. The wide dispari-
ty between the average rate of the
Iowa companies and those of other
states is accounted for by the fact
that Iowa companies have had the
business of the small, unprotected
towns, where high rates prevail, while
the outside companies were restrict
ed more largely to the protected
towns, with much lower rate.
Some of the recent retirements and
amaigamations of Iowa companies
are explained by the steady decrease
in the average rate in the past de-
cade, it having fallen from $24S in
the five years between 1896 and 1900
to s2.O4 in the last five years. In the
same period the reduction in rate for
the other companies has been but II
cents, as against "A cents for the Iowa
companies.

Today's Markets.

Union Stock Yards Aug. 9.-Pack-
ers are unable to stop the upward
flight of the hog market. They were
confronted today with light receipts,
good quality and a strong eastern
shipping demand and despite their
jockeying prices at the start went up
10 cents above yesterdays average
and remained there until the very
close, when the packers succeeded in
making a slow market and taking off
little of the early advance. The
bulk of the sales today were at $725
@765, against $7.15@7.5O yesterday;
$6.9O@7.30 last Wednesday; $4,000
6.65 four weeks ago; $7.S0@S.25 on

yesterday; 1855 week ago; $3.50 a
month ago; $905 a year ago; $3.50
two years ago and $685. three years
ago today. 1t looks very much as
though the $500 hog would be seen
yet this week, if receipts remain light
and quality good.
Cattle today were generally 10c
higher than yesterday and there did
not seem to be enough good fat ones
to supply all buyers and they were
compelled to fill out with many that
were no more than common.
Good sheep and lambs today met
with ready sales at prices steady with
All others, however, were
down from 5 to 15c and hard to sell.
The estimated receipts for tomor.
row are 10000 hogs, 5000 cattle and
1900 sheep.
Mondays and Tuesdays receipts
this week, compared with week ago
decreased 1900 cattle, 6,400 hogs and

time last year, cattle de.

HOW ABOUT THERMOMETERS?

Stewart w. Jameson, OF OSkalooSa'
has contributed the following .sugges'
tive article to the magazine, Hearts
and Homes"
In one of your recent issues | no.
tice an article on the public drink
ing cup with which l heartily agree.
Permit me to call your attention
to the use of the physicians clinical
and the almost univer-
sal failure of the ordinary doctor to
properly sterilize this valuable little
instrument between visits to different
patients. From the nature of the in
strument the doctor cannot use boil
ing water on a thermometer register
ing to only a little over 100 degrees.
Most doctors will wash the instru-
ment in cold water and put it in its
case and let it go at that. 1t is used
most frequently in the mouth and this
when the patient is known to be sick
and most likely is infected with some
sort of bacteria. 1t is held under the
tongue a minute or two.
The public drinking cup is held for
less time to the lips only and is usual
ly washed by the thirsty one before
using and this as thoroughly as the
doctor washes his thermometer, yet
drinking cups have been shown to be
producers of disease as mentioned in
your article Your child who never
saw a public drinking cup, perhaps,
'l: you send for your family doc
tor; his last call previous was on a
typhoid or tuberculosis patient, yet
his thermometer has been washed in
cold water only, but he does not hest
tate to put it under the sick child's
tongue. If he is calling on grown
person his actions are the same.
"The doctors instrument is then
likely to become a disease carrier.
There may not have been much the
matter with the patient previous to
his call, but there is likely to be a
serious case after. Great advances
toward thorough cleanliness have
been made by physicians, but little
things are being overlooked by many
otherwise good practitioners.
ut is time our doctors practice
sterilizing their fever thermometers
every time they are used"

SAM BAIDAUE.

The Persians have a way of saying
on the birth of a child: "Oh, little
one, you come into the world with
cries while all around you are smil-
ing. So live that you may go out
with smiles while all about you are
crying"
Compressed within this simple pray
er are all the things that make life
worth living, all the things that rob
death of it's terrors. To go out with
smiles in the happy consciousness OF
life we'll spent, and with an unfalter-
ing trust in the beneficence of the
unknown beyond.
1t was thus with Sam Baldauf, who
has spent forty busy and successful
years among us. Years not only
crowded full of business activities,
but with good deeds as well. There
is widespread grief today over his
sudden departure, and genuine SYM
pathy for the bereaved ones.
A good husband, good father, a
good citizen. What more could be
said of any man? His great work
will shine through the coming years,
but his real monument will rest for
ever in the hearts of his friends.

EXPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS.

American farmers contributed over
a billion dollars worth of merchan-
disc, or more than one-half of the
domestic products exported from the
United States in the fiscal year just
ended OF the high record expor-
alton of $2,O13,549.O25 worth of domes.
tic merchandise in the fiscal year,
1924 million dollars represented the
value of products drawn directly or
indirectly from the farm.
OF the ten chief agricultural pro-
ducts exported, cotton leads with a
total of 5S5 million dollars, the next
largest items being, in the order
named, meat and dairy products. $50
million; breadstuffs, 12I million; un'
manufactured tobacco, 80 million;
fruit and nuts, 25 Million oil cake,
20 million; cattle and other live ami
mails, 10 million;, cotton seed oil, II
million; vegetables 51a million; and
hides and SKINS, million dollars,
these 10 articles alone showing a
total expectation for the year of $50
ullllOH uOlldi D. L hC REMAINING oSiA
cultural products exported in sums
ranging from l million to 5 million
dollars include Porto Rican coffee, 5
million dollars; grease, 5 million; glu'
co3e, 31a million; seeds, 21a million;
hops, over million; ginseng and 9TH
er medicinal roots, IL million; eggs,
~ million; corn oil. ~ million; hay,
Million and hair, a little over l
million; dollars.
This expectation of 1924 million
dollars worth of farm products, while
somewhat larger than in the preced-
ing year, is still below the record
made in 1907 when 1850 million dol
lars worth of merchandise of that
class left the country.
Tobacco, fruits and nuts, and yege-
tables, however, have moved counter
to the general downward trend in the
movement of farm products, each Of
these classes showing gains not only
over 1910 but also over the high rec
ord year 1907. Exports of tobacco in
creased from 33 million dollars in
1907 to 80 million in 1911; those of
fruits and nuts, from liz million to
24h million; and those of vegetables
from million to 51a million dollars.

Horse Trade Unsettled.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-While the horse
market is more satisfactory than a
week ago it was hardly as firm as
Monday and demand was limited for
most arrivals. General quality was
not very good and buyers were in
different bidders for bulk of horses on
sale. Outlet is very uncertain and &C.
casionally a squirt is noticed that is
usually followed by reaction. Receipts
were more moderate, there being
hardly 700 head the first two days this
week against $50 the same period last
week and 679 corresponding time last
year. Sales at $175 and up to $245
were rather scarce while numerous
lots ranged at $14O@165, with some
even lower than 800.

The Grain Market.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Realizing sales of
wheat based on less bullish crop news
from the Northwest made break in
prices early. Part of the sales were
taken back later on more bullish re-
ports of black rust from the North
west, but the close was 1a@Bc low
er. The market has reached point
where buyers who have good profits
are disposed to take them, and some
of the strongest bears are putting out
short lines.
Corn was shown in the face of a
bullish crop report from Iowa, and
made a good decline, which was fol-
lowed by good advance, and closed
at the high point of the day, with
gains OF A@5sc for the day. Oats
closed Nc lower to 1ac higher, Sep
TENDER being weak, and May strang,
and the difference spread to the wild
est so far.

There is no limit to the POSSIBLE
tiles of Iowa soil. John Schrader, OF
Keota, several years ago, rented 20
acres to Mic Bohr to put in barley
the two TO share the proceeds. 1t was
a very wet year; it rained continuous
ly; the water stood in pools all over
the fields and no barley in evidence.
Finally Bohr wanted to sell out to
Shrader for SIS. Shrader didn't want
it. Mic offered to sell for $40 and
John didn't want it, and didn't want it
at S.. Then Bohr turned it over to
Shrader for nothing. Then Shrader
concluded he would tile the field and
got five men to work at it. They
went over the field in the mud re-
CARELESS of any barley, tiled it out
good and that fall they threshed near
ly 80 bushels of barley from the 20
acres and sold it at 65 cents a bush
ell. Bohr and Shrader made nearly
a hundred dollars each out of deal
that neither considered worth any
thing. Since then the crops on this
same field have been large every
year.

INVEST YOUR MONEY AT HOME

Another era of nationwide specula-
ton has passed. This time the peo-
ple's spare cash went into land pro-
iects, many of which have proven
lust about as productive OF DIVIDENDS
as have in the past stellar myers In
stock exchanges. Many people OF TINS
community have contributed to the
land boom. They have been attract
ed by the fact that the property they
bought is far from home and, as
rule. in a locality that they knew lit
tie if anything about. A large amoant
of this business has been done by
PROSPECTUS and circular letter, and in
same cases the buyer will be happier
if he never sees what he bought. We
all believe in land investments, but
we have some good land in our own
neighborhood that ought to be i'm
proved.
This movement has taken capital
from our community that might 9th
erwise have been invested in good
dividend paying business enterprises,
or have been spent for local i'm
provements, for homes, schools,
churches, better roads, farm improve
ments and many other things which
would have made for the greater pros
perity of this vicinity. We believe
now, however, that the time has
come to center attention upon the
welfare of Mahaska county. We be-
lieve also that it is time to forget
about politics, the tariff and other bo-
gies and settle down to a plan for
lettering this particular community
by strong cooperative effort.
1t has been said that the tariff is
local issue, in a large measure, the
same may be said of prosperity. The
people of this vicinity have it in their
power to make prosperity in this To-
cality, but, in order to accomplish
something definite, their money must
be kept at home and spent at home.
Our general welfare will not be pro-
NOTED by sending it to any part of
the world with which we have no dali
ly business relation.
Our Commercial club has done
much the past year in developing a
campaign of development which, if
persisted in, will make this a better
place to live in. There is no place
like home" when everyone is trying
to make it a better place. The time
for action is right now. We can af-
ford to disregard every other issue
but that of local prosperity, but we
should be up and doing something to
further our own interests. We have
in this vicinity fine homes, good
farms, good schools, good roads and
many other things that help to make
life worth living. Let's try to make
them still better and put our money
into solid Improvements at home. Buy
local securities, and run no risk of
losing your income and principal also.
