Appeal Taken In Liquor Fight
Notice of appeal in the test case Of
Elizabeth Knsuss VS.. Otto Gruenwald
was filed in the district court today
by Attorney H. B. Betty in behalf of
the prosecution and the case will
come up for hearing at the May term
of the supreme court which begins
May at Des Moines. The grounds
set forth in the appeal are that the
court erred in UNFOLDING for a more
specific statement on the part of the
prosecution, as to the alleged viola
tons made by the defendant in the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. This is
the first appeal which has been taken
on the decisions rendered by Judge
William Theophilus but the point in
volved is a close one and a testing
on the part Of the supreme court will
be replete with interest.

ECONOMICAL MARKETING.

It is nothing surprising to such cit
les as have tried the plan to learn that
the open market established by, Des
Molnes has cut store prices on certain
articles Of food-butter, eggs, fruits
and vegetables-from 40 to so per
cent. Within few hours after the
opening of the market the half.hun,
bred or more hueksters had sold out
at prices considerably in advance OF
what they have been receiving, while
the men, women and children who
crowded about the wagons had 'been
able nearly to double the purchasing
value Of their money, leaving buyer
and seller well satisfied.
OF all the plans for reducing the
high cost Of living in cities the estab.
.lishment of open markets is the sim
plest. 1t Is not the. high cost ofsliving
hut theh Ugh cost of selling that makes
urban life more costly year by year.
1t has been intimated that last years
farm products were worth S9,0000,000.'

the remaining two-thirds about So

over $4,000, 100000. 1t cost more to
sell the products than It did to pro.

tenn Of distribution.
