Iowa Land Values.

There is no let-up in the demand
for Iowa farm land-the good old
land that has made the state famous:
that is the best land on earths that
never fails to produce d bumper
crop. The price keeps pace with
the demand, too: and as the demand
is bound to increase, don't be sur
prised il land values mount to a
considerably higher figure. If you
want some Iowa land, the best time
to buy is right now, for the price
will never be lower.
Typifying the stability of Iowa
land prices, is the report, from an
auction sale held at Reinbeck last
week. A number of farms in
Grundy county were advertised to
be sold at auction. Grumpy county
land is the finest on earth, and OF
course the sale attracted big
crowd-one of the biggest crowds
that ever assembled in the town.
The land went like fried chicken at
Methodist picnic. Eighty acres,
uAimproved, sold at $145 per acre
A farm of 800 acres went at 1852;
another farm of 2S6 acres at $l55
and so on. And don't you think
that the buyers were soaked,
They will be able to dispose Of theii
holdings at an advance Of from $2a
to $50 per acre in less than two
years, and the prospective pur
chasers will fall over themselves tt
get the property.
You can't miss it even il you pay
what may seen to be a fancy price
for Iowa soil.-K eokuk Gate City

Elmira Fox was born in Van
Buren, county, Iowa, June 8, 1S41.
She passed away at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. T. NJ. Craft, in Van
Vert, Iowa, August q, 1912, at the
age of II years, 2 months and IL
days. On the 18th day of August,
1860 she was married to John Cor
bett, who still survives. To this
union six children were born, three
of whom preceded their mother into
the Great Beyond. The other three
are still living and were present at
the funeral service. These are, Mrs
T. M. Craft and Mrs. John Fielder,
of Van Vert, and Mr.. j. M. Corbett,
of Ulysses, Neb. These, together
with the aged husband, sixteen
grandchildren and host of friends
and acquaintance are left to mourn
the departure of Grandma Corbett
Mrs. Corbett became member of
the Baptist church thirty-tive years
ago at Bonaparte, Iowa. She came
to Van Vert with her husband and
family thirty-one years ago last
December and has been resident
of that community ever since. Thir-
teen years ago she placed her men,
bership with the Christian church at
Van Vert, where she remained a
faithful member until her DEATH
The funeral services were held in

community in this sad hour.

Hat Little, Prices Big.

To be in style this fall and winter
it seems that women will have to
accommodate much hair with wee
hat.
The powers that be in Paris have
announced that hats are to be small.
Inasmuch as the hat fashions turn
handsprings and otherwise go
through a complete metamorphosis
regularly at the bidding of few
madames, it can be taken for grant
ed that hats are worn by the swagger
element will be decidedly diminu-
tive,
On the other hand, the leading
that more store locks will adorn the
heads of the fair sex this season
hair dressers of St. Louis declare
than in former years past They de-
cry efforts of milliners to help along
the pancake hat furore by predicting
that the hair will be worn brushed
down tightly. The milliners have a
wrong bunch.
~ The hair dressers declare millin-
ers may know what the styles in
hats will be, but they also say that
hair Iussessers best know the styles
of coiffures.
Hair is to be worn wide at the
sides, deep in front and fringed on
the forehead, they say. Early fall
styles from Europe SHOW a high
front elevation, almost return to
the old pompadour. How this will
fit in with the turban affairs which
Partisan milliners have planned to
inf1ict on America has not yet been
decided. .~.s*--*aadln" ~
Milliners assert the idea Of the
designers of the new style is to
make the head appear as small as
possible BY the use of the pancake
hat and the tightly brushed hair,
Mt an ounce Of hay, false hair
wire Or cotton waste must be used,
say the hat sellers.
The hair dressers say there ism I
any use making heads look slnaller
than they are, because they are
small enough already, and tney
assert switches and braids Will De IN
great favor. A sawed-off rat for the
front is acceptable. Put1s, however,
are growing unpopular.
So the fashion devotee will hnd
herself on three horns of a dilemma
She can wear hats that are in style
and lose out on the hair. she can
have the hair right and be wrong on
the hat. Or she can balance the
fashionable hat on the big stylish
hair and look foolish, ,,, :.
The hair dressers and mllliners do
not agree, except on one thing
That is that while the hats may be
little, their cost will not diminish
with their size. The smaller the
lid the bigger the bill, is to be the
programme ''s.'": '-~'-

Great Crops May Tie Up Railroads

Kansas City, Aug. 13.-Freight con-
gestion and shortage of cars are being
predicted by railroad men of the central
west. The chairman of the association
of western railways has issued an ap-
peal to industrial managers and COM
mercial organizations to aid in modify
ing the congestion.
The appeal asks that all lumber, &C.
ment, coal and such freight be moved
in the next few weeks "before the rail-
roads are staggering under the crop
movement.
1t is pointed out by railroad men that
the surplus of cars July II, 1911, was
149, 072, and that this was reduced on
Oct. Is to 20, 532. This year the sur
plus of cars on July Is was 68, 922, and
if the reduction is as great as last year
there will be shortage approximately
of go, 900 cars by the end of October.
Besides the small number of cars
available it is shown that the wheat
crop of Kansas will be approximately
so, 900 carloads greater than it was last
year, and that the crop of northwestern
states will amount to nearly 100, 900 car
loads more than in 1911.
