He Didn't PAY Too Much.

Two years ago, Albert Becker
bought fine farm near Dyersville,
lin Dubuque county, for $106 per acre
Some people thought that he was
Iplunging and had paid more than the
land was worth. Albert gave no heed
to the fellows, who thought that they
knew more about his business than
he did. He raised a couple OF big
crops on the land and a few days ago
he sold the farm for $40 per acre.
He might have gone somewhere in
the quest of cheap land, two years
ago, and have found nothing that
suited him. Surely he would have
found nothing that would have yield
ed him hondsomer legitimate profits
than the farm right here at home in
Iowa.

fred J. Gross of Quincy, ILL.,, Misses

clue to possible solution of the mys-
terry is gasoline can found along the
shore here which belonged to the
launch. The water in the lake is
twenty-five to forty feet deep and
hope of finding the five alive has been
given up. Loughlin was the only
good swimmer in the party. He was
an expert, but it is feared he went
down in attempting to save the 9th
