In the February Woman's Home
Companion there is splendid article,
showing how the cost of living is being
reduced in several cities and towns Of
Iowa by the establishment Of local
open markets where producers and
consumers are brought to deal directly
with each other. Des Moines, Cedar
Rapids, Waterloo, and other progress
slve cities and towns have made the
venture with success OF the estab-
lishment made In Des Moines the
author reports i'm part as follows:
1.-THE city council, with many doubts
as to the result, ordered a miniature
park adjolng the old city hall to be
thrown open to the gardeners and
farmers of the vicinity for use as a
curb market.
"Wagers were made by city officials
that there would not be five teams at
the market the first day, and, indeed,
there we're but eleven Citizens visited
the market place more out of curiosity
than with desire to patronize 1t, but
the movement gained from day to day
until, after two weeks, the line Of
wagons over1owed the little park and
finally covered six city blocks.
"One noticeable result of the new
market is that the nearby producer
finds bet ter market with better
prices. and at the same time the cost
of such produce is greatly reduced for
the consumers. The producers claim
that through the system operated by
the commission houses the safe OF
homegrown products was discouraged,
and at times no market at all was to
be found for the local farmer, or that
the prices offered were so extremely
low as to discourage the home market:
"The following are quotations OBJ.
tained from day to day since the
market has been opened, showing con-
trast in prices:
"Grocers' Prices Current-Milk, SC
per quart cabbage, l0c per head po
tatoes, SOC per peck; cantaloupes, l5c

SMOOT BACKS WOOL FIGHT

Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, one
Of the most unrelenting reactionaries
in public life, is to direct the admins
tration tariff on the floor of the United
States senate.
That Smoot is to be the administra-
tion spokesman in the contest over
the revision of the wool schedules,
around which the entire tariff discus
sion will center, is a matter OF keen
satisfaction to the wooden manufactur-
ers Of the country in general and TO
the directors of the so-called woolen
trust in particular.
Smoot, a member OF the powerful
Senate Finance committee, had his
training for the important part he has
been designated to play during this
session, under the tutelage Of former
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
The Mormon church, of which Smoot
is an apostle, is understood to be inter
