keokuk Lodge No. 10 Celebrated With
Music, Rotations, Dance and
supper at Their An
nuai Event.
BIG CROWD ATTENDS
Many Families and Friends Of Lodge
Members Attend Exercises at
Odd Fellows Function
Last Night.

keokuk lodge No IS, /. o. o. r.,
last night celebrated their sixty
fourth anniversary with fitting cere-
monies at their hall at Seventh and
Main streets. About $50 persons we're
present including families and friends
OF the members of the lodge. The
exercises were carried out as the pro-
gram indicated and We're greatly en-
joyed by everybody present.
Recording Secretary George Banks
was in charge of the program and to
him is due the credit for arranging
the affair. In few well chosen words
he thanked all tho people who had
taken part in the exercises and made
the anniversary success. He ex-
planned that this feature OF the lodge
was carried out each year not only
to celebrate the anniversary of the
lodge but to entertain the families
and friends of the members. The
celebration this year, he said, eclipsed
all other efforts.
At the close of the program an ex-
quisite supper was served and a
dance was given in the adjoining hall.
Pemberton's orchestra furnished the
music.
The program given was as follows:

Suggests a Nut.
Planting Day.

Edward Lind, of Cedar, writes
suggesting that there should be
nut planting day as we'll as Ar
Dor day. Western Europe, says
Mr.. Lind, is noted for the fruit
and nut trees planted alongside
of the roads. These trees are
mostly seeding and are more
hardy than the grated variety,
says the Mail and Breeze. Mr..
Lind calls attention to something
! of which we were not aware, and
that is, that while cutworms are
liable to destroy fruit trees the
first year, they do not trouble
nut bearing seedlings on account
of the bitterness of the sap.
Every land owner" says Mr..
Lind, should plant all waste
creek bends, steep hillsides and
overflow lands to walnutS, acorns
and hickory nuts. On stony and
dry ridges mulch of straw will
help the young plants. have
walnuts 6 years old from 6 to 10
feet high and all the care they
had was a 3-inch mulch of straw
when the nuts were planted.
After the first year they mulch
themselves with their leaves and
the corn husks and tumbleweeds
they catch in wind storms.
Nut trees should not be trans
planted. Plant them thick ex-
pecting some to fail to germin-
ate. Use a spade when planting
among the stumps and roots.
Push the spade down S inches;
drop the nut behind the spade.
Draw out spade and step on the
ground to press down the soil on
the nut. If planted too shallow
mice and gophers may get some
of the nuts. The surest way to
kill a grove is to use it for a hog
pen or feed LOT.
II suggest October 81 for mt
planting day.
Leave the husk on the walnut
in planting. It furnishes plant
food and its bitterness protects
the nut from mice. IF the meat
in a nut rattles, it is too dry to
terminate. This is why English
walnuts do not grow here"

The Cost Of Beef.

Fat steers recently sold tor
more than $40 per hundredweigt,
on the Chicago market, and this
has occasioned various shrieks OF
protest from all over the country.
The following from the New
York Times is a sample:
THE culprits are not the
trusts, but the haters of the
trusts, to-wit, the farmers. 1t
| is the farmers who are raising
SiO steers and wasting a billion
dollars worth of food for steers.
| Not ten per cent of corn stalks
are used. They are treated as
waste and a nuisance, when they
should be treated as fodder and
turned into steers to be sold at
greater profit than by getting
lSlO for corn-fed steers. There is
no objection to finishing" steers
with grain, but there are as
many reasons against wasting
corn stalks as there are dollars
worth of them not used. This
is another count against the far
mer, who has already been con-
victed of not knowing how to
raise as much grain as he ought.
Perhaps before long there will be
a trust formed to raise food which
| will be possible to buy at rates
corresponding with wages"
The eastern folks seem to be
having a great deal of trouble to
accustom themselves to paying
fair prices for farm products.
For a generation they have been
buying from the farmer and pay
ling prices which would not cover
the bare cost of production if al
llowance be made for depreciation
lin the and, that is, for the fertil-
Iity exhausted by the production.
With the increase in population,
the taking up of the available
Hand, and the increase in proper
ton of city population, lessened
production and increased con-
sumption have combined to in
crease the prices of agricultural
products. In the future, the
consumer will have to pay some
thing near fair price for what
the farmer grows, and the quick
er he adjusts himself to this con-
Idition, the better it will be for
him. He can make this read
iustment easier for himself by
lgiving somewhat more attention
Ito economies which he might
practice to the benefit of his
health and to the relief OF his
pocketbook. For example, the
price to the consumer OF loins
and roasts is out of all proper
ton to the price of the cheaper
cuts of meat By improved meth
Iods of cooking, these cheaper
cuts can be made highly palat-
able, and are as nutritious as the
more expensive cuts. If the
eastern consumer does not want
to pay the price which he must
for the latter, we suggest that
he learn how to handle the cheap
er cuts.
The farmer has not taken a
contract to keep the American
people supplied with beef three
times a day, nor is it necessary
that our people should have beef
three times a day. AS matter
of fact, the average resident of
the city eats about three times
as much beef as he ought to eat
for the benefit of his stomach.
If the price of beef should reach

Mr.. Lind's estimate of the cost
of the wells is about $40 each.
This is a new idea to me. It is
at least worth considering.
