500 An Acre in Iowa
Response Of George E. Roberts at the Annual
Dinner Of the Iowa Society of New York.

We are all aware that great
change has come over the circum.
stances of the Iowa farmer, and what
is true of him Is true of farmers ev.
erywhere. Not only in the United
States, but in Argentina, In Europe,
In Australia. in India, the farmers are
prosperous; they are the most pros.
porous class of people In the world
today. And coincident with their
prosperity, strangely enough. there ap-
pears to be world-mystery about the
rising costs of living. Parliaments and
parliamentary commissions, state leg
islatures, grand juries, investment
brokers and writer's OF. high and low
degree are looking for guilty parties
or the responsible cause.
Gold Getting Cheap.
Some people think the gold miners
have worked all the mischief. l
heard an address in this city few
weeks ago in which distinguished
gentleman gave warning that gold
would soon be too plentiful and cheap
for longer use as the standard OF
value. Now it is true that the produc-
ton of gold has largely increased In
the last twenty years. rising from
little above s10n. 600 geo in 1890 TO
about s460.Doo, 900 in 1911 That on
the face of it is q very striking, even
sensational, change in the money sup
ply, and am free TO say that do
not see how anyone can question that
1t must have considerable influence in
the financial world. But there are
counteracting influences which must
be taken into account, and which
cannot go into tonight
The fact is that we do not need to
go beyond the conditions surrounding
the production and consumption of
the staples to find an explanation /
am convinced for myself that the prin-
cipal factor in the rise of prices the
world over is the gain in population
upon the supplies of food and natural
products, and more particularly the
change that has come over the United
States in this aspect in the last dozen
Years.
It is TO be remembered that the
United States has been the chief fac
or in the worlds markets for food
ind raw materials. It has been the
thief source Of supply for the import I
ng nations. SO that any change in the /
citations of production and consump-
ion here. or any change in prices
lere would be influential in all world |
markets.

Douglass Scores Winning Run with
One Out and One on Third.

A game of baseball such is sell
dom witnessed by the augusta fans,
took place, Saturday afternoon, at the
Driving Park diamond. when the
Democratic Club baseball nine Of this
city downed the Papermakers of Gar
diner, 4 to 3, in a 12-inning game of
baseball that was. full of sensational
plays from start to nnish. The dia
monG. which has recently been repair
ed for tine baseball games in the Film
nation Tournament. which will he
held at Hanks Race meet, was in ex-
csllent shape for such a contest and
a good sized crowd of both Augusta
and GARDINER rooters were present.
The Gardiner boys started off
strong, scoring TWO runs in the first
inning, by their ability to hit VIII
son, when needed. ana coupled with
errors by the Augusta players, but
after this inning they were unable to
obtain but a single run, which came
in the third inning. Wilson did not
pitch up to his usual form in the first
part of tho game. bur after the first
three innings he steadied down con-
siderably and held the Gardiner bats
men at his mercy. allowing them only
a very few scattered hits.
Moore, tie Gardiner pitcher, did
some fine work, striking out Is men
in the y innings, and In the 10th in
ming he pulled out of a big hole, with
three Augusta men on bases and one
out, by striking out TWO OF the OPP
posing batsmen.
The winning run Of the game came
in the 18th inning, when with one
man out and Douglas on third base.
Moore struck out mis- batsman, but
Mccarthy dropped the third bah on
the third strike. throwing the ball
To first base. and allowing Douglas
to score, ending the game.
1t may be well to say right here
that Douglass was one of the stars
for the Augusta lineup, and n great
deal of credit for the home teams
victory was due to his brilliant work.

goods, taking everything that came
his way, not missing single chance.
II was Goodchild who caught pref

bat with two men out and two men

possible. Shepard excelled for the los
ing team and he got the only three
