The funeral services on Monday
afternoon were attended by people
of note from all parts of the state,
men who had been associated with
Gov. Larrabee in political life, pers-
onal friends Of long standing, and
many who honored him for his long
record of patriotic citizenship and
craftsmanship. The services were
simple, at his request, and the re-
mains were escorted to their resting
place in the Clermont cemetery by
Gov.-Elect Geo. NJ. Clarke, L. S. Sen
ator w. S. Kenyon, and many state
and district officers, besides humid
reds of friends from Ma miles

of Clermont 1t was a bea tiful and

A Firm Market

There is no disputing the fact that
rags are advancing in price and are
hard to get. In several parts of the
country there has been a reduction
of the output of paper on account of
labor trouble which in a degree has
Influenced prices. The approaching
season of cold weather will add an
other influence by making it more
difficult and expensive to collect rags
which will have a tendency to fur
Their stimulate prices. These and 9th
er plausible reasons are given by the
manufacturers as justification of past
and present advances of many grades
of paper and of the high grades in
particular. The present outlook
seems to be for continued firm mar
ket with strong upward tendency
on nearly all grades of goods. The
cost of printed matter must neces-
sarily be increased.

THE PROBLEM OF THE FARM.
How to Keep People on Farm is
Question Easily Solved.

A woman speaker at an Iowa rural
conference uttered significant truth
when she stated that could farmers
be induced to spend as much money
in improving conditions under which
they live on the farm as they spend
when they leave the farm and move
into town, the downward. trend of
rural population would cease and
farm living conditions would be in
finitely improved, says Farm and
Home. The population of the small
middle western town is largely made
up of farmers and land owners who
have moved in to spend their declin-
ing years at ease, or to secure better
educational and social advantages for
their families.
The retired farmer is frequently
an undesirable town citizen. He is
rarely satisfied with town life, is not
able to content himself with town
business and SO divides his existence
III an uneasy oOiI VI way uCN"COh bhS
farm and his village home without
being of marked benefit to either.
When he moves to town he is not adj
verse to spending $4,000 or $4,000
in building a comfortable home, with
all the conyeniences and comforts
which modern invention has made
possible.
Could he be induced to spend half
this in remodeIing his farm house,
installing heating and light devices,
running water, labor saving machin-
cry in the kitchen, and in improving
and beautifying conditions out of
doors, he would secure infinitely bet
ter results. He would make farm liv-
ing conditions attractive rather than
repugnant to his family and provide
home surroundings in which he could
spend a contented rather than dis
satisfied old age. Best of all he
would be a better citizen because his
policy would tend toward the up
building of country conditions. I'M
proved roads and the automobile
have solved the age-old problem of
farm isolation.

father and mother. William LARA
bee, Jr., is member of the state leg
islature and Frederick Larrabee is a
state senator from the Fort Dodge
district.
Mr.. Larrabee was not only success
full in politics, but he was always
prosperous in business. He accumu-
lated large fortune, mostly in banks
and lands, but it is understood that
the most of his fortune had been dis
tributed long before his death, among
his children and among schools and
colleges. He has given large amounts
to Upper Iowa University and one OF
the last acts of his life was to give
and model school house. which is
still in the building, a gift that will
be above $4,000 in money. He was
lover of music and among other
gifts are pipe organs at the Soldiers
Orphans Home in Davenport, the
Boys Industrial school at Eldora
one in the Presbyterian church al
Clermont, and one in the Catholic
church at Clermont.
The funeral services were held on
Monday afternoon at one o'clock. The
services were very brief and simple
in accordance with the late COVER
nor's tastes and wishes in such mat
tiers. The family requested friends
not to send flowers, since even a for
al display, it was felt, would be in
congruous at the last service of one
who wanted everything to be simple
and without display.

A Wrong Idea.
Laurens Advertiser.

LaurenS Advertiser.
A great many people have the
wrong idea of their obligation in
boosting town. They seem to think
when some public spirited citizen
goes to work and carries around a
subscription list to solicit stock to
an enterprise Of some worth to the
city, that all that is necessary is to
subscribe to the stock. That is, in
itself, a commendable spirit If that
part Of the support is followed up by
something more tangible. But 1t
seems in many instances. and it is
said that it has happened In Laurens
rather recently, that people subscribe
to stock for these enterprises and
when, after trades are made and deals
closed, the time comes to pay over
the subscription money they fail 70
come across. Now, this Is not show
ing the proper spirit and Is not really
carrying out an obligation made and
relied upon by others. This should
not be the proper spirit for the
growth Of a town.

When Sheriff Hale addresses his individually called mass meeting this evening at the court house on the sub- ject of the s5O000 gambling bribery offer it is up to him to tell it all.
 The meeting could not serve any other purpose. insofar as Mir. Hale is concerned, since after promising to tell the story in detail, withholding any part of it would disappoint the people, and leave Mir. Hale weaker politically than ao had been before.
 In behalf of the situation. and not in behalf of any political interest, we urge a large attendance on this meet ing. The citizenship, aroused over the s50.Oo0 subject, should not leave it to other hands to levelop all there is to the local question. but should individually and collectively show It's interest in this meeting.
 If the sheriff can prove as serious situation locally as his political speeches and written articles indi- cate, he will have clean advantage. at least in the matter of public con fidence, restored
 If the sheriff falls down and falls io make good in every particular, then the people will rest easier. since they will believe that local conditions are not so rotten as they have been led to believe.
