THAT FOUR POUNDS OF BEEF A DAY,

inmates OF Iowa state institutions, fig

pensiveness against the board OF con-

ridiculous degree. Where did he get the
figures?
At the soldiers home the per capita
consumption of beef for the month Of
December in the main building was
ihirty-two and one-sixth pounds; in
he old peoples building twenty nine
pounds, in the hospital twenty-f five
pounds, and in the dormitories thirteen

and take meals the daily consump-

Now few men are better fed any

HOLDEN AND THE cONGRESSMEN.

Prof. P. G. Holden is in bad
with the Iowa congressional delegation
to each of whom ne has sent a letter
asking that corn growing contest be
arranged in each congressional district.
AS the professor has planned it each
congressman shall offer free "trip 10
Washington to the winner at a cost to
the lawmak of not less than 500
The congressman held an informal
conference over the proposition and ap-
pert had mis- nerve with him" There
was talk of political holdup, and the
congressman, according to Washington
correspondents, "doped it out" that the
effort was TO exert the leverage of their
own anxiety to succeed themselves up
on their own pocketbooks. The i'm
preston given by the correspondent is
that they concluded not to stand for
It.
1t does look that way-to a con-
gressman-and there will be many
others to take the same view. How
ever, Prof. Holden might argue that
there is no particular reason why
a congressman should not be solicited
for a 800 donation which might prop
erly be requested Of a merchant or
other business man who depends on the
public and who may fear the result OF
refusal to contribute.
Perhaps Prof. Holden was over
jealous. It - an excusable tho embar-
RAISING fault. In this case he has laid
htms self open to the rejoinder made by
the congressman. However the pro-
lessor has been Of large service to the

The RLlSiNeSS FIELD.

Rains which have fallen over the
wheat country have improved pros
poets of that important crop and a.
the same time are responsible for a
decline in prices to the lowest point in
three years. While there is evidence
that consumers Of iron and steel are
showing less disposition to anticipate
requirements than for some time past,
the general situation presents several
encouraging aspects notwithstanding
thar new bookings Of the leading pro-
Queer are on a diminished scale One
Of the favorable features is the steady
reduction in accumulated stocks of pig
IRON, in spite Of the fact that the pro-
duction during March rose to the high
est point since July, 1910. The tariff
agitation centering upon the wool
schedule has naturally led to cautious
operations on the part of ali merchants
handling dress goods and mems year
The yarn markets. by inactivity on
a broad scale, continue to reflect the
curtailed output OF many miscellaneous
textile mills.
In footwear some manufacturers are
fairly busy, but others are feeling the
lack Of supplementary seasonable or
ders and their cutting rooms are es-
pecially Gull at the present time. There
is more optimistic feeling prevalent
thruout the trade however, and it is
expected that orders will show an in
crease, but to the more seaSonable
on.
Liabilities of commercial failures re-
ported for March amount to s1s.474,s4
Of which $685. 200 were in manufac-
turing, ss,S71,2s7 in trading and 81
s44,17+ in other commercial lines. Fail
ures this week numbered 235 in the
United States against PA last year,
and thirty one in Canada compared
with twenty two a year ago.
Fundamental conditions are IN
6oubtedIy sounder and better than in
long time past, but immediate bus
mess, while necessarily large in view
of the constant requirements of an
immense populations, shows reduced
activity for the time being, because the
period of retrenchmert and readjust-
ment is not yet ended The optimism
that prevails abroad, ami especially III
England, is beginning to have it's eff
feet in this country, and must be
counted as ore Of the influences work
ing for improvement.

question presented for decision is: Did

case entitled Hardings Admir- vs. Hard

appeals Of Kentucky, and is reported in

administrator relied upon section 2067
