Mason City, Feb. 20.-An idea beau
tiful and patriotic In it's conception
after thirteen years of trial. has ialleo
because Of the lack Of sufficient en-
cnnra cement to keep 1t going. FINS
has been written to the work OF
Memorial University Of this city. Col
A. l.. Sortor believed that it was due to
the memory Of soldiers and sailors OF
the civil war to erect a great educa-
tional institution to their memory. The
matter was presented to the Sons OF
Veterans at the Syracuse convention
and was received with enthusiasm
Later Mason City made the proposal
that it would erect the building and
give it free to the cause If it was To-
Gated here. The offer was accepted. "A
$4,000 building was turned over, COM
pleted and ready for occupancy. School
was commenced and for ten years 1t
has met with successes and adversities
but advers!:ies predominated. A few
months ago, on account Of the lack of
financial support from Sons of Vet
Grams and other kindred patriotic or
ganlzations, the school had to go to the
wall Today the papers have been
completed and 1t becomes the property
OF Archbishop Keane of the Dubuque
diocese. The property. consisting of
the buildings and thirty acres Of land
surrounding it, sold for $4,000 1t is
the intent of those now possessing the
property to keep it intact. From what
can be learned the idea is to build a
great Catholic school here, and in con-
junction with this erect a magnificent
hospital. The archbishop will take over
the property July l next. Since the
burning of the high school 1t has been
occupied as a high school.

Dubuque, Feb. 20.-That President
Taft welcomes ideas which will be Of
assistance in solving the question Of
the high cost Of living is shown by
the enthusiasm with which he has Just
recognized the offer Of the city Of Du-
buque to answer all inquiries about her
famous market-estab)ished ffty-one
years ago-an illustrated description Of
which was sent to the White House by
the Dubuque industrial corporation.
The letter sent to the president con-
cluded with the following sentences:
1--WE believe in sharing with all hu-
mainly an idea which we have found
so good for ourselves" and the chief
magistrate sent on the following tele-
gram:
II have been greatly interested in
reading your article on the city mar
ket of Dubuque. and congratulate you
on your efforts to lower the cost of liv-
ing. WILLIAM Fl. TAFT"
Gave Address on Market.
Clarence A. Cotton, secretary of the
Dubuque Industrial corporation, was
president of the American Association
of Commercial Executives which re-
Gently held its sixth annual meeting in
Louisville, and at that meeting deliv-
cred an address on the great ad-
vantages of Dubuque's city market.
Stree then the Dubuque industrial cor
poration has received many inquiries
from all parts Of the country on the
subject, and Mr.. Cotton says they will
be glad to respond to as many more
requests for information as are re-
ceived.
Immediately after President Taft's
message relative to the high cost OF
living reached congress, the Dubuque
industrial corporation sent market
cards." giving prices obtaining on the
Dubuque city market, to each sena-
tor and representative in congress. and
Congressman C. E. Pickett telegraphed
Dubuque as follows:
your central city market is attract
ing wide attention. The president Is
much interested in the article you sent
him and it's bearing on the important
problem of the high cost Of living.
Many members Of congress are talking
about receipt Of your market cards
and are surprised at your statement
showing purchasing power Of dollar.
I am glad the pioneer market OF the
middle west is ini my district, and as
sure you of my desire to cooperate
with you in any way possible"

Proof Of Efficacy.
The best proof Of the efficacy OF the
Dubuque city market is contained IN
the market cards" published by the
Dubuque industrial corporation last
fall. one side showing prices obtained
upon the market one day when over
325 teams were lined up. and the other
side showing what 81 will buy on the
market.
The Dubuque city market has been
in successful operation for f1ty-onc
years and the people of this city are
,, so accustomed to it that they never
thought of advertising the institution
abroad until the cry of alarm went UP
from all over the country that the
people elsewhere were having all they
! could do to get enough to eat on their
salaries.
