Next to Paris the City of Buenos
Ayres contains the largest population
of Latin descent. The immigration
to Argentina is 100000 year. Near
ly a third of the present population
are Italians, an industrious race. A
temperate climate promotes business
enterprise. There will be plenty OF
room for new cattle growers for the
next tentury, and the facilities for
distribution of products are unusually
good
Nevertheless, consumers should not
be too sanguine about reduction in
the cost OF meats as result OF i'm
portatlon from Argentina and Aus
tralia. 1t is true that meats will
come in free of duty and that refrig-
Grating methods on ships are success
full. But there have been cases where
the duty has been taken off of arti-
cles in common use and an advance
in their cost followed. In fact, it
has seldom happened in such cases
that the consumer realized that there
had been a change in prices. Some
how the difference is absorbed by
middlemen or by syndicates who, are
first to get an advantage in the read
justment. Beef from Argentina in
quality is not equal to that raised in
the United States, yet it would serve
a purpose if it were delivered at
prices anywhere near those prevail
ing along the Argentine rivers that
can be penetrated for long distances
by refrigerating ships. But when
this happens larks nmay be gathered
up and roasted, 2 for the skies will
have fallen. Watch and see what
takes place in the beef OF Argentina
and mutton of Australia.

Cost $3.50 To Leave Iowa.

1t cost Charles West, Dallas coun-
ty farmer, $4,000 to be. away from
Iowa for about three months, and he
Is glad to get back even at that price.
Last spring West sold his eighty
acre farm southeast Of Perry for $168
an acre, which he considered good
price He had visions of the fortune
he would make In cheaper land and
bought a farm in Missouri The
short time he spent there convinced
him that there was only one place in
the world to live and he came back,
hunted up the real estate agents that
sold his old place and offered to buy
1t back.
The fact that it had advanced in
price $32 an acre did not stop him,
and he paid the $500 per acre asked.

IOWA AND CHIEF kEokUk.

The North American Indian is not
dying out nor is he without honor in
his native region, observes the. St
Louis Globe-Democrat. A good deal
of Iowa history is commemorated in
the statue of Chief Keokuk just dedi'
Gated in a park of the city that bears
his name. The Daughters of the
American Revolution are doing an inn

are causing to be erected in various
parts of the country. Iowa and Mis-
souri,, side by side on the map, have
much early history in common. Joli'

the French Canadian trader, obtained
in 1888 the Indian consent to work
the lead mines that had been dis
covered by the wife of Fox war
rior eight years, earlier. 1t was by
treaty signed at st. Louis in 1904 that
land on both sides of the Mississippi
river, including a large part OF Iowa,
was ceded to the United States by the
Sac and Fox Indians. Iowa was to
be by turns part of Missouri, Michi'

BEEF FROM ARGENTINA.

There Is talk Of regular supply
of refrigerated beef from Argentina,

ports at 30,000.000 cattle, and 6S.000,-
900 sheep. Its cattle ranch area Is
enormous. and all who journey up its

are struck by the low price Of beef
obtained by those who raise 1t. Yet
only 50.000,00 acres are under culti-
yat;on In total of 100000 suit
