carrying every ward in the city by
substantial majorities, and winning

finest of the year thus far, and the
candidates and their friends were out
in force, getting in the votes. Nearly
900 voters took advantage of the op-
portunity to express their choice.
There was spirited campaign for

Mckinney, Peter Jensen and George
Hislop, two to be elected. The result
showed an easy victory for Mr.. Nc

ceived a plurality of 70 over Mr.. His
lop, the two former being elected.
There was no opposition to Ray
Algyer for city treasurer, his total
vote being 661, nor to E. j. Gillett

A resourceful. preacher in Sheldon
has hit upon plan that ought to
help some. Recently he announced
that every egg laid in his parish on
Saturday should belong to him, and
requested that the members of his
congregation should bring the eggs to
church with them on Sunday. Every
hen was to be made lay member, so
to speak. Thus far the scheme is
working like q charm and the hens
seem to work harder on Saturday
than on any other day Of the week.

THE b. ANUNDsEN WILL.
Late Publisher Makes Numerous Be.
quests to Various Institutions,

The last will and testament of the
late B. Anundsen, founder of the De-
cOrah-Posten, was filed with the clerk
of court last week, and is very int
eresting document, inasmuch as he
makes numerous bequests to various
institutions throughout the country.
OF course the value of the estate will
not be known until an invoice is made
but that it is quite large is the gen.
eral knowledge. Messrs. C. B. Berg
eson and c. ]. Weiser are made sole
executors of the estate with Mr.. Weis-
er as trustee for his minor son, and
these gentlemen will see that the pro-
visions of the will are carried out.
| The will provides bequests to pub
lie institutions here and elsewhere as
follows:
For a chapel in Norwegian ceme-
! terry, Decorah $500

| rata as per salary -. -. 1000

After the payment of these public
benefactions, the estate is to be divid-
ed as follows:
Mrs. Helma B. Anundsen, wife, one
third.
Fred H. Anundsen, son, the building
now occupied by himself and X. A.
Wick, valued at $4,000, and two
ninths of the estate, less $4,000,
value of this building.
ByrnjOlf B., son, tw0-ninths of estate,

more at 25 years and remainder at
80 years.

Arthur, F.. Anundsen, son, two
.ninths less $10.500, loaned to de-
ceased son, A. Fl.
Mrs. O. p. Hamre, note OF 800 and
\ interest against estate Of o. T.
Hamre, deceased. \: st '.a
1t will be noted from the above.
that the estate is divided into ninths,
from which Mrs. Anundsen gets three
ninths, and the other members of the
family each two-ninths. The Decor
ah Posten property will be handled as
part of the estate, the stock being di-
vided in shares.
In the public bequests there is pro-
vision for handsome mortuary cha
pei for the Norwegian cemetery which
will be much appreciated by the peo-
pie of that nationality, and for the
distribution of 1000 among the en-
ployes of the Decorah-Posten,p pro ra-
ia, in accordance with the salary they
receive, besides substantial bequests
to orphans homes and educational
institutions, all of which will have
cause to revere the memory of the
man who was so esteemed at home.

The canned corn industry of Iowa
has been developing very rapidly the
past few years. Last year the total
output of canned corn in this state
was estimated to be 13S,437,952
cans. lows canning companies com
planned last year, however, of ar
overproduction With a widening OF
their markets, it is believed that this
can be corrected.
One important industry which has
developed in the past few years in
Iowa is the Portland cement busi-
ness. There are now three large
Portland cement plants in operation
in this state. Their output in 1911
was S1,SS1,253. Previous to 1906,
no cement was produced in this state.
The state geological survey states
that Iowa is rich in materials suit
able for cement making"
About one-fourth of the counties
Of Iowa have coal mines in operation
supplying cheap fuel to factories and
homes. In 1911, the coal output OF
the state amounted to $12,663,507.
The brick and tile industry of
Iowa and clay products of the state
amounted to $4,436,s39. The total
mineral products of the state amount
ed to $21,117,641.
With this ability to supply so large
a per cent of the foodstuffs of the
world, Iowa's future can not help but
be one of prosperity and growth, in
the opinion of far-sighted men who
have watched the trend of events.
Newell Dwight Hills, on the lect-
ure platform in Iowa last summer,
predicted that Iowa land would be
worth $4OO to $500 per acre as the
Panama canal opened up. and the
great industries of the east settled
in the lower Mississippi valley. Iowa,
he mid d.sswill then be called upon to
fury the food for this increasing
population. ''sS',Nslss 60
n In all countries agriculture Is rec
ognized as, the basis of prosperity.
The figures given in this article show
that there is every evidence of pros
perity in Iowa, and will be in the
years to come. These are some of the
reasons why Iowa people should ap-
preciate what they have, and people
looking for a prosperous country in
which to live should come to Iowa.

They have now got a new process
Of making butter without churning,
and they say it beats the butter made
in the old churning way. Some peo-

ON the bottle, too, but the records
have never proven anything yet az
good as the old way.
