HE'S A COMPETENT ADVISER
Farmers Son Ran Away to the Cry

Tt is greatly to tie regretted" was
remarked In the hearing of farmer.

raised eight boys and they're all farm

Yes. that's all Poor Rob would go.
spite of all J could do-run away to
the city when he was IL, and we amt
never seen him since, though it's been
over 20 years. But / dunno but its
all right; he hadn't no likin' for farE'
work. nor wouldn't take no interest
il it. He Jes' naturally seemed to
hate the farm and didn't know enough
about farm work to drive ducks TO
water"
Yes. 1 think 1t was better that he
should leave the farm. as he evident
ly had no taste for it. Is he In tcS
mercantile business?"
"Oh, no. nothing of the kind" re-
piled the farmer; for the last ten
years Bob has been editor of an agr-
cultural paper. He writes the Hints to
Farmers How to Do Farm Work.

pol" The Aryan stock. from which
Greek and Latin descended, had Il
way of emphasizing an idea by redu-

MICE IN THE RAILWAY CARS
Travelling Man Always Carries Trap.
and Catches One About Every
Other Night.

"On my last trip across the CONT
nent 1 met man who showed me q
hitherto unsupported danger of sleep
ing cars" said the travelling man. THE
first night out from Denver he occu-
pied the berth across the aisle from
mine. Shortly after everybody had
turned in for the night l heard him
fussing around and l looked out. He
had baited an old fashioned mouse
trap with cheese and was leaning out
to set 1t on the floor under his berth.
Along in the night l thought l heard
the trap click. The next morning 1
got up ahead of my neighbor to watch
his maneuvers with the mouse trap
I felt kind of creepy when 1 saw hin,
pick up the trap with a dead mouse
dangling from the wire moose. Later l
expressed establishment at my neigh

transcontinental train.

COFFEE IS HIGHER.
Beginning Today il Will Require

Beginning Today il Will Require 80
Cents to Buy Lowest Grade.
Twenty-Five cents will no longer buy
a pound of coffee In Des Moines. An
advance goes into effect today which
sends the lowest grade Of coffee to 30
cents per pound.,, Hhtle the choice
brands range upwhI In proportion
When coffee goes up it hits the pock-
etbook Of every householder, for coffee
is one Of the most important items Of
the grocery bill. The price has been
gradually increasing. so that now 1t is
about double the rate of a few years
ago. This, according to dealers, has
been due generally to speculation and a
general supervision of the growing and
marketing Of coffee.
The present advance is due to specu-
lation. according to2rone Bros. There
is shortage in the crop" said the
/ ,nal.ager of that firm, land spectators
have taken advantage OF it by buying
up the supply. That there has been {,
shortage IS SO well established that the
spectators are going to hold onto the
goods and let it 80 only at the top
price
PRICES UP TO STAY.
the price Will drop. In some cases it IS
usual for SPECTATORS to corner the
market ard then dispose Of the goods,
but there is no hope OF 1t in this case.
Coffee which sold short time ago at
Is cents per pound has been selling at
2o cents, but the rate has gone up so
that there is no profit in handling II
at that figure ard 80 cents will for
some time be the lowest grade of COT
fee that can be bought at retail. 1t is
estimated that there is a shortage Of 25
per cent In the crop. which cuts Il
great figure. There is no telling wheth-
er the demand will remain the same or
not. Coffee has been steadily advancing.
but there has so far been no apparent
dropping off Of demand among con-
sumers, which indicates that there are
just as many people drinking coffee
now as there ever were.
I'm former years dealers who made a
speciality Of package goods were able
to buy coffee wholesale as low as Sh
cents per pound. They then used n
pretty good grade OF coffee and made
a leader Of it. When the price ad-
vanced, the grade Of coffee used was
changed and lower grades substituted.
The market played tricks on the job
Der as we'll as the retailer"
| Commencing today the lowest
wholesale price Of coffee is 1914 cents
a pound. Better grades have gone up
accordingly Retailers can not sell cof-
fee under 30 cents and make profit

three feet OF the lad Mrs. Finklc says
he turned suddenly directly in front OF
the car.
Mr.. Clark says that his son knew
the car was coming. and was on the
east side of the street as the car swung
