A few days since while passing along
the Main street Of our little city. re-
porter for this paper noticed one OF our
prosperous farmers loading several
sacks Of -four into the back end OF his
five passenger auto, together with
lot of other groceries. which he had
come to town to buy. He lives several
miles in the country and came to town
after doing narly a half days work IN
the fields and expected to get home Tor
a late dinner and back into the hay
field again in couple OF hours after
leaving town. What a change a rev
short years have made in the farming
conditions of the country. Five years
ago, yes, two years ago. this same
farmer would have spent several hours
in making this trip to town. He would
have taken one Of his teams from MS
farm. driven them thru the hot sun
several miles. transacted his business
and by the time he returned nome
would have lost three or four hours
time. With his auto he came to town
in about fifteen minutes; required
half hour to do his business and was
back home again In less time tnan IL
would have taken to hitch up q team
and make the drive one way. All
farmers are not fixed as this one Is IN
the matter of automobiles, but 1t shows
the future possibilities Of farm li1e'

Don't laugh and say this is dream.
It is coming dear reader. and that be-
fore many a boy living now becomes
gray headed The time Is coming when
the majority Of farmers will use auto
trucks to do their heavy hauling on the
roads. when the small traction engine
win handle all the heavy work on the
farm and do 1t cheaper and faster than
can now be done by horses. These
problems are being worked out BY
practical men and it is nH wise to say
they will never come to pass. The

THEN THE BUBBLE BURST.
IAlnia Renuhucan.l

A good lesson may be secured for
the young men by hearing of the pace
making record as set by asvoung man
over in Washington county His name
is Albert Myers and he took such q
rapid shoot upward that he fairly
startled all the people of his surround
ing country. He was station agent for
the Rock Island and had a fairly good
position at Nyra. There was but the
station and a little store in the town.
Myers conceived the idea that he could
just as we'll handle a little grain for
some of the commission houses. For
this he received about l cent per BUSH
ell. He got his penny out Of it and the
railway people did not object because
they got their price for hauling the
freight. Myers was going along at a
pretty even gait and was making some
money. He married young lady who
resided near the town and her father
was wealthy, so it is stated. BY the
marriage he was able to secure credit
with the wholesale houses and erected
large store and carried everything
from a kernel Of wheat to two big
traction engines. Ends were not meet
just the way Myers had figured it out
there was money which must be paid
to the wholesalers, and he was unable
to meet the bills His father -in-law
was called in and the young man
showed him the enormous stock and
left the inference that he was making
money. Then the old gentleman went
on notes to nearly $4,000 for the boy
and the business was continued for a
few months longer. But the business
| had not proven a money maker. Just
the reverse. and the time came when
the young man appealed to the bank
| ruptcy law for relief. The father-in
| law then knew Of the condition and he
, went homo and committed suicide. II
was the case of promising young
| man trying the getrich- quick plan and
1t worked no better than many others
1t was the case OF q young man about
26 years OF age considering himself a
master of finance, a brief fiutter OF
prosperity, with regret. death and sor-
row as the ending

GREATER THAN THE "yElLow PERIL"

Word comes from Washington that
the department of agriculture has ap-
propriated $4,000 Ito discover and
demonstrate the best method Of eradi-
eating hog cholera
What dye think Of that? Do the
Washington authorities desire to be
categorical among the jokers?
What the department ought to do is
curtail Its expensive output Of SUI
perfiuous and in many cases valueless
statistics and get busy protecting the
food supply of the nation, by siren
uous effort to put the country hog
herds on a healthy basis.
Seventy five thousand dollars! Why
like the man who fondled a buzz saw,
it wouldn't last one round.
Chicago Live Stock World.
The protest Is we'll founded. There
is altogether too little attention paid
to the most profitable industry of the
country and quite enough talk of tar
ifs and big navies.
How far will $4,000 go among the
states? II Iowa's share were spread
over her ninety mine counties 1t would
amount to approximately $3.50 to the
county OF course Iowa is starting
out on her own initiative to fight hog
cholera scientifically but at that Iowa
isn't spending anywhere near the
money that the situation calls for. If
all the money sent out Of Iowa 20
catalog houses were piled beside the
loss thru hog cholera it would look
oil Si1
lar bin. When 1owa's immense loss
from hog cholera is multiplied by the
losses Of other states $4,000 does
eeem a very paltry sum to appropriate
for the purpose specified.
A single battleship costs about s1o.-
100000. That's not saying that we
ought not to build battleships enough
to keep out common bidders. But
compared to the cost of a battleship
the sum set aside is a mighty thin
line OF dollars wherewith to oppose
a foe SO deadly to prosperity and of
such pertinacity in its assaults on the
vital interests Of the country
The hog cholera campaign will stand
a very considerable expenditure. Money
spent to check and eradicate bag cho1-
era will be approved as money Well
spent. And that In true whether the
nation, or the state or the county
spends it. Moreover it doesn't pay TO
await action by the general govern
meu, It would be wise TO begin at
once In other Iowa counties as Dallas
county has started.
There's much more and pressing dan
ger from hog cholera than from Jap
anese or German invasion.

THE cUMM1Ns MEASURE.

Lies MONIES He81SleT anu LSdueI.J
After Attorney General Wickersham
had forced the dissolution of the to-
bacco trust it became an imperative
question what sort of organization
would be permitted to do big business
within the terms Of this Sherman law.
The attorney general taking it up
on himself to settle the matter, in
conference with the managers Of the
tobacco trust and the local United
States court of New York City, entered
into an agreed order of court against
the bitter protests Of the independ-
ent tobacco producers who were not
consulted. under which the present or
ganization of the tobacco industry was
perfected.
The only two parties to the proceed
ing being the attorney general, repre-
senting the United States. and the Of
ficers of the tobacco trust, who were
eminently satisfied with the arrange
ment. there were no proper parties to
an appeal to the supreme court. The
attorney general would not appeal and
the tobacco trust had no occasion to
appeal
In this situation Senator Cummins
introduced in the senate a bill provid :
ing that the attorney general should
perfect an appeal to the supreme court.
and also extending to the Independent
tobacco producers the right to appear
as intervenors.
1t Is this BILL still in the possession
of the judiciary committee. we had
started to say pocketed by the jul
dietary committee. that Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds is seriously consider
ing resurrecting and urging upon con-
gress.
That in some way the final inter-
probation OF the Sherman law should
come from the supreme court, that
what will and will not be.permitted In
the way Of trust organization should
not be left to a secret conference Of
interested parties with the attorney
general, must be plain to everybody.
How can this be brought about better
than by the adoption of the plan Sena-
tor Cummins has proposed?

LET IT GO At THAT.

The Greater Des 1Ioines Committee.
director, writes as follows:
We should like to correct your edit
oria, in your issue Of July il. in which
you state that there are several better
towns in Iowa in which to live than
Des MONIES.
We are only willing to concede to
you that there is one better, and that
is arshalItown. We should like 10
have you believe that Des Moines Is
the second best town in Iowa.
= Yours truly,
RALPH BOLTON.
It ,s a poor sort who will not meet an
honest confession half way and one
concession calls for another. Let it go
as Mr.. Bolton suggests. Marshalltown
is the best town in Iowa 10 live in.
Really Mr.. Bolton has stated a fact
rather than made any concession as
regards Marshalltown. 1t IS but cour-
tesy and kindness returned TO agree
with him that Des Moines has great
advantages and Is getting better.
Large municipal improvements are in
prospect there-if George Cosson wins
his suit-the state fair is to be heid
nearby soon, the baseball team-but it
may be that Mr.. Bolton would prefer
that the baseball team and Councilman
Roe were not discussed. Anyway, Des
Moines has the finest public so!r INKS
OF any city Of Its size in the world and
a bunch Of golfers who never let any
thing get away at state tournament
It has other things, many other things.
The tourist shouldn't leave Iowa with
out seeing Des Moines-by daylight.
It is really no disparagement to Des
Aoines to say that population for pop
uIation, Marshalltown outclasses that
city az a good town to live in. Mar
shalltown has practically all thtt a
large city can offer residents. She has
also the neighborhood spirit and gen.
eral acquaintanceship that the large
city can not and does not have. Mar
shalltown factories are better known
the world over than De8 Moines faa-
tories. She has not as many, but they
have distinctive class. She has fine
homes, prosperous businesses. She Is
happily welded to the contiguous
farming country and city man and
countryman Of Marshalltown and Mar
shall county hold common purposes
and common pride in both town and
country. Men call each other by their
first names in Marsha1ltown. Mar
Shailtown's wage workers are Of dis
finctive class. a greater proportion OF
WorkinGmen own their own homes in

A MANS BARGAIN.
(Grl1ndy Democrat

A man living near here bought a
piece of property a few days ago.
Every one but himself believed he got
stung. He thinks he has a bargain.
He has bargain as long as he Is
confident that he has. 1t is confidence
In what one has that gives 1t Its value.
If farmer has piece OF land that
he is satisfied is worth 5000 an acre II
is the owners confidence that will
make it worth that price. Confidence
not only determines the value Of ones
property but 1t marks the scale OF
ones ability. If a man has confidence
enough in his ability to consider it
worth 800 month he will get his
price and he will be worth 1t.
