not know of course, of what the big

When you have a million one dollar
bills and pile them up fiat on top OF
each other and want to take off the
top one you will have to reach up
26S feet. If you laid them end to

If you had the amount in silver dol

The Cost of Advertising.

A single page in a single issue of
the Century magazine taken for ad-
vertising purposes costs $500; in
Harper's $500; in other prominent
magazines from $50 up to 500. A
yearly advertisement of one column
in the Chicago Tribune costs $685.
600; in the New York Tribune S29,-
900 for the lowest rates, $S5,95O
for the highest rates; in the New
York Herald the cost for the lowest
rates is S36,2O3 and $349,000 for
the highest priced column. Yet one
can see that these papers are always
full OF advertising matter. even at
these enormous prices. Won't this
make the man feel funny who pays
$40 year for advertising and struts
about town posing as liberal adver-
tiser?

POULTRY SHOW IS next
Officers Get Very Encouraging
Promises of Exhibits of Fine
Poultry.
DATE is NOVEMBER goth TO Gath.
First Annual Show of Winneshiek
County Poultry Association Will
be Next Public Event i'm
DecOrah

The next public event for Decorah
will be the first annual show of the
Winneshiek County Poultry Associa-
ton, which will be held on November
goth to gath. This association was
organized several weeks ago, for
the purpose of giving this show and
of developing and furthering the in
terests of poultry raisers and fanci-
ers in this part of the state. A large
membership was easily secured,
among which are many of the princi-
pal business men of the city, and the
returns from preliminary announce
ments sent out indicate that there
will be entries of poultry here from
a distance of two hundred miles or
more.
Mr.. Elmer Gimlin of Taylorville,
ILL.,, one of the best judges of poultry
in the middle west, has been secured
to judge the entries, which insures
fair and expert judging.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day evenings there will be a special
feature of the show in the presenta-
ton of prizes to spectators. For this
purpose H. NJ. Cummings gives full
blood White Wyandotte cockerel; E.
J. Stoddard a pair of rose comb
Black Minorcas; o. o. Lomen a pair
of White Leghorns. Special prizes
are also given by the Winneshiek
County State Bank, a silver loving
cup, value $1,000; the Zenner Disin-
fectant Co., II quarts of Zenoleum;
Geo. II. Lee Co., three packages of
Lees Lice Killer, six packages of
Lees Germozone, three packages of
Lees Egg Maker and three packages
of Lees Insect Powder.
The Hzt -af .lra. silSas. IS a comnre-
hensive one and includes cash prizes
for almost every form of entry. Per-
sons desiring a premium list sholld
write to Len Larson, secretary.
We hope that the show will be
success, and there is no doubt of it,
if the people in this part of the state
who have poultry will make exhibits,
and if the general public will at
tend the show.

IOWA FRUIT GROWERS
Join Statewide Movement to Pre-
serve and Dispose Of
Crops.
WILL SAVE MILLIONS YEARLY.
Plan Big Central Distributing Head
quarters for Entire State on
Mississippi River.

Iowa is to have a fruit growers
association that will compete in COM
mercial formidableness with the
lemon distributing organization of
California.
This is the plan of Wesley Green,
secretary of the Iowa Horticultural
association. Mr. Green purposes dur
ing the coming year to take steps to-
ward organizing the fruit growers of
the state, county by county, and pro-
viding a central headquarters and a
shipping point, probably at Daven-
port so as to get advantage of the
Mississippi river freight rates on big
shipments.
He plans that the fruit growers
ship all their fruit, packed in uni
form packages to the central head
quarters and that a secretary and
manager dispose of it there on the
market which bring the highest price
in carload lots. By one central office
it is suggested, thousands of dollars
can be saved the growers in admins
trative work and not only one man
watch the market for all, but get
better rates by freight and better
prices because of large consignments.
Furthermore part of the plan is
to have established a great Iowa
fruit growers cold storage plant, so
that the hand picked fancy stock can
be held until winter warrants bet
ter prices. The main difficulty with
Iowa fruit growers now, says Mr..
Green, ''is that they have no cold
storage facilities. They throw their
fancy stock on the market in the fall
when the market is deluged with
windfalls and seconds and the price
is away down. If these fancy apples
F4af id be held few months, they
could bring better prices, and nearer
what they are really worth.
There is no reason says Mr..
Green, why Iowa can't be as big a
fruit state as Colorado and many
others. Our average apple crop in
Iowa is over four million bushels.
OF this amount Iowa now exports for
sale but about half million bushels.
1t is conservative estimate to say
that this year one million bushels of
apples will go to waste.
In connection with a central stor-
age plant the apple growers could
maintain an evaporatipg plant to
evaporate those apples not sufficient
ly large for the market, and a vine
gar works in which the skins and
smaller fruits could be used to make
vinegar.
1T is safe to say that there is a
fortune lost in Iowa every year in the
by products of the apples alone. l
hope to see the Iowa fruit growers
awaken to their possibilities here" +"

referred to, that General Confer nee
changes, among which was the re-
moval of the time limit" which
hitherto had restricted the pastorate
to limited term of service on each
charge. The action of the General
Conference of 1900 enables preach
ers to remain as pastors of the same
church, year after year, as long as
things are mutually satisfactory, and
the general interests of the churches
do not suffer. 1t is true, efforts have
been made to induce return to the
old rule, but they have not met with
much encouragement, nor is there a
probability that they ever will, for
the present arrangement appears to
work quite well.
My associates on the delegation
from the Upper Iowa Conference
were all men of ability, we'll known
to the church which they had long
served with distinction. The min
listers were II. o. Pratt, formerly a
member of Congress; Homer G..
Stuntz, now one of the secretaries of
the Missionary Society; j. G.. Magee
and j. B. Albrook, for many years
Presiding Elders and S. G.. Brownson,
professor in Garrett Biblical Insti-
tute. The laymen were A. f.
Swisher, j. F. Merry, T. B. Taylor,
j. ]. Clark, w. F. j. Johnston and d.
B. Snyder, with all of whom, except
ing Mr.. Clark, l had formerly been
more or less intimately associated.
Capt. John F. Merry, Assistant
General Passenger Agent of the IL
linois Central railroad, who was a
resident of Dubuque, was my col
league on the Book Concern Com
mittee, where he rendered the church
excellent service and was highly
esteemed by his brethren.
After the adjournment | returned
to Dubuque and Immediately resum-
ed my work on the district.
An incident at the close of the SER
vice at one of the churches on Sun
day afternoon caused not a little
amusement. | had just stepped down
from the pulpit, when fine looking,
middle aged man approached me,
offering polite, though rather effu-
sive congratulations on the way the
service had been conducted, saying
some very pleasant, things about it,.
He had no sooner turned away. how
ever, than a loyal friend of mine
stepped up, and in an earnest, con-
fidential way said: You must not
pay any attention to what he says;
he isn't right in his head" His
daughter, who happened to be stand
ing near us and had heard what the
other man had said, was quite put
out at what she considered her faith
ers mistake. why, Pa" she said
"he was saying some very nice and
polite things to Mr.. Green about the
services, and here you are going to
spoil it ALL" And then we all had
good hearty laugh over the Incl
dent, from which apparently nothing
harmful resulted.

Editors Note-The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. III. H. Green,

ply of his life, to be preserved
as a matter Of record among
his children and grandchildren.
While 1t was written with no
intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filed with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, boy
hood, soldier, clergyman, legis-

which we believe will be read
with interest by the public, and
we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
