TO HAVE BRANCH HERE
Iowa Children's Home Society Sta
tion in Oskaloosa

The district superintendent, A. J.
Benton, who has his headquarters
here in Oskaloosa, has secured prop
erty at 205 South NJ street and aims
to supplement the regular work of the
Home by boarding children for some
who are not able to properly care for
them and yet cannot give them up to
others.
The Society has handled the usual
number of children, though the wild
ows' pension has relieved some. Just
at present there is a shortage of little
babies The usual number of older
children are on hand There is a
brother and sister that go together
and are very nice There is an older
boy that Mr. Benton has to care for
soon who is good natured, strong and
used to farm work. that needs a
home
One thing unusual in the child
business this year has been the equal
number of girls and boys on hand,
almost all the year through The
winter coming on the usual call for
help is out. This Home finding work
has the approval of religious, legis-
lative and national philanthropic so
cieties and never makes the one re-
ceiving help worse than formerly.
Old friends as well as new are ask
ed to remember this army of children
for whom We work.
One Interested.

FINISH JOB CAMPAIGN
Mr.. Abriel Who is Assisting Hears
Doubts as to Result.

One week from tonight Oskaloosa
will either have accomplished a great
task and made phenomenal record
or else acknowledged herself licked
in the effort to raise $1,000 for her
Y. Nj. G. A.
Mr.. Abriel, who Is outlining the
plans and assisting in the campaign,
hears doubts expressed as to the re-
suit derived being accomplished, but
says he has confidence In the work.
ers TO finish the job they began few
months ago, and confidence in the
people of Oskaloosa to see that the
campaign is made a success, He
says, however, that success can only
be obtained by every man doing his
level best in work and giving. Busy
business men who are ready To give
time, besides their money, to the cam.
paign, to the sacrifice of their busi-
ness, will surely meet with generous
response by those who may be more
able to give than are they.

feeling Of intense satisfaction will be
theirs in the years TO come.

neys to be heard before the case is
sent to the jury. The jurors in the

go home. The remainder of the petit
jurors had already been excused until

The Feeding Of Cattle.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 29.-Farm-
ers in the corn belt, especially in the
middle and upper Mississippi Valley,
have, at various periods experienced
loss of cattle pastured on standing
corn stalks after the corn has been
harvested in the autumn.
An element of mystery has sur
rounded the death Of cattle in these
instances. The disease is character
ICED by a very rapid course; in fact.
very commonly there are no premon-
tory symptoms, and 1t is not unusual
for the owner upon visiting the field
in the morning to find one or more
fat cattle dead which on the previ-
GUS evening were apparently in ex-
cellent health.
Another popularity of the disease
Is that losses may occur on one farm
or in one field while cattle on an ad.
joining farm or in an adjacent field
may be free from the affection.
Various investigators in the past
have attempted to discover some
germ or organism or some toxic sub
stance which might be determined
as the cause of this condition, but
thus far the cause of the disease has
not been established.
AS death of stock from this affec-
ton is generally sudden and there is
little opportunity for treatment, ami
mails should not be turned into a field
with standing stalks.
AS a matter of fact the disease may
be actually prevented by cutting the
stalks early and only feeding them
after they have been carefully cured
and removed from the field. Losses
from feeding on standing cornstalks
emphasize the economic value of cut
ting the corn and feeding the stalks
in the barnyard or corral, or, better
still, shredding the dry stalks, under
which condition they may be fed with
the least POSSIBLE waste.
The socalled cornstalk disease
should not be confused with poison
ing from eating sorghum Deaths
among stock from eating sorghum
have been traced to prussic acid pois-
Oning, which poison the sorghum i'm
der certain conditions of growth has
been found to contain in combination

Muscatjne Shjppjno in Potatoes,

Sounds odd, does it not, that Mus
catine should be importing Minnesota
potatoes. But 1913 was an OFF year
in many sections of Iowa, 50 far as
the tuber crop is concerned, and the
cost of living will not be reduced to
great extent this winter, by switch
ing from meat to potatoes. No doubt
in another season, Muscatine county
will again raise sufficient potatoes to
supply a number of counties.

Today's Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards, Oct
29.-Hog receipts today We're several
thousand below expectations and the
quality had improved some over that
of Monday and Tuesday. This gave
sellers somewhat the advantage and
the market was strong and active
from opening till close at an advance
of 10 cents all along the line. Good
eastern shipping orders were the
mainstay of the market. Packers as
usual hung back and did not get into
action until late in the day and then
bought as sparingly as their needs
would allow. They look for liberal
run tomorrow. A good clearance
however was made today.
The bulk sold at $7.S5@S.20 against
$7S0@S.20 yesterday; $7.60G7.95 last

1909 and $5.S0@6.25 in 1908.
The top today was $685.; yesterday
$3.50; last Wednesday $S.25: four
weeks ago $685.; one year ago $iS5;
two years ago $3.50; three years ago
$o65; four years ago $500 and five
years ago 500.
Cattle receipts today were excess
i've for the demand, western rangers
being largely responsible. Demand
was not good from any direction and
the market had very dull tone, with
most of the common and medium
steers quoted lower. There was
nothing choice available in the native
line and buyers did not want the low
grade steers. AS result the mar
ket was generally 10@l5 cents lower
than yesterday. The choice yearly
steers held steady with yesterday
Stockers and feeders dragged along

Poor Yieida of Corn.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-"Corn gathering
is showing and win continue to show
such poor yields that large sections
of country will be afraid that there
will not be enough feed to carry the
live stock through the winter and very
little corn will be on the market ear
ly," wired Houston OF Kansas City to
Harris, Winthrop & Co. THE cold
weather has put an end to pasture al
ready. The corn fodder was poor to
start with, and the heavy rains have
rotted ii badly. The season is cold
and rough now and we seem to be
starting in for long winter At least
it will seem long to a man who is
short of feed Corn is the cheapest
feed there is today in much of the
country. AS winter progresses, the
country drain will take all the centers
can get and we will see fancy prices.
Prices may recede little, but may
reach the high levels at any time.
Wheat has gone into use so rapidly
that We may not be calculating right
on the proportion between supply and
demand and might see prices run up
very quickly"

paved Road To Des Moines.

The Register and Leader says that
the Greater Des Moines Committee is
at work on a project for paved road
from that city to the county seat OF
one of the adjoining counties, men
tioning Newton in particular. such
a road would cost about $4,000 per
mile or $350,000 for the thirty-hve
miles. 1t is a pretty big sum OF
money, but the road would be OF in
estimable value to the people.

CLUBS AND SOCIETY
Various Happy Occasions Among
Town and Country Folx.

The dancing season for the coming
winter was inaugurated by Oskaloosa
Lodge No. 507, Loyal Order of Moose
last evening with an informal dancing
party in the club rooms over the
street car waiting room. Music for
the dancers was provided by Bowen
orchestra and thirty couples enjoyed
the occasion. ...
Oskaloosa Yeomen celebrated Chill
dren's Festival at Fraternity hall
Tuesday evening and the affair was
a big success. The attendance, in
the face of the snow storm and bliz-
card that prevailed during the early
evening hours, exceeded anticipa-
tons. Over one hundred and twenty
five people participated in the events
and entertainment and nearly a half
hundred children between the ages
of three and fourteen We're present.
Decorations of the Halloween order,
pumpkin faces, etc, were employed
and a carnival spirit prevailed with
the crowd present. Following the
program refreshments were served
and the children were given a special
treat in the form of bon bons, an at
tention that was appreciated by the
youngsters.
Prizes were won by those excel
ing on the entertainment program
and numerous performers were spe-
cially good in their efforts. Second
prizes went to Lacey Wright, Pearl
Chew, Robert Kessler and Miss Har-
riet Chew. First prizes were taken
by Charles Kessler, Jr., Mildred Rob
erts, Ida Reynolds and Dale Swanson.
Special prize was awarded to Fred
and Harold Wright for a Woman
song composed by their father, B. A.
Wright The affair was, all in all,
one of the most successful in the re-
cent experience of the lodge and one
thoroughly enjoyed by the large at
tendance present. The old folks are
"a couple of weeks.
The annual Halloween party given
by the Philadora club of the Christ
ian church was held last evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A Hend-
ryX on North c street and was one OF
the most delightful occasions OF the
sort ever held by the club. About
fifty guests were present and all en-
joyed a most pleasant evening. The
HendryX home was deliberately and
tastefully decorated with the usual
Hallowe en- accessories, pumpkins,
candies, etc. A number OF Hallow-
cen stunts" has been arranged for
the entertainment of the visitors anu
occasioned much enjoyment. Mrs.
Pomeroy acted as fortune teller and
Rev. Deadman and DR.. Rodgers gave
practical demonstrations of the for
tunes in a manner that left no doubt
as to the veracity and skill of the
mysterious Glairvoyant. The draw
ing contest showed the club to be pos
sessed of but one artist. ]. h.
Matthews astonished and delighted
the onlookers with his wonderful gen
JUS in the art of daring acts" A lit
erary and musical program was given
and was one of the most pleasing
features Of the evening. Prof. Hook
EFT of the Penn School of Music sang
a vocal solo, Miss Lois Whitaker gave
a reading, and Prof Griffith of Penn
college rendered an instrumental
solo. Delightful refreshments were
served and the company disbanded
with memories of a most pleasant ey-
ening and expressions of desire that
Halloween came on the Philadora

Crimp In Cow Trade.

Chicago, Oct. 29-There seems to
be disposition on the part of the
country to rush in a large number of
common light weight cows and heif-
ers which are hardly in marketable
condition. The diaries are eager TO
clean up before cold weather, and as
fast as fall pastures play out the cat
tie are rushed in. This very large
influx in conjunction with 1.-THE heavy
shipments of Canadian cows direct
to packers has put bad crimp in the
COW trade. tt
