which 1t might do IL some one would
make test case.
Joe Wall. head Of the county exam
lining bureau. on his return home this
week, found q number Of letters ask
ing II tho department was going to
hold that women may not be deputy
county clerks and treasurers and au-
dttors, etc. Some Of the county Off,
GERS, who have discovered that since
the state is keeping tab on things it
Is best to be very careful about the
letter of the law, were getting ready
to supplant women deputies with vot-
ers. This grew out Of a story that
the question had been raised and no
authority was found in the statutes for
women deputies.
Will Take No Action.
But the department will not UNDER
take to GUST women, 50 Chief Wall
says; for It has been discovered that
a number Of years ago. c. w. Mullan.
when he was attorney general Of Iowa,
rendered an opinion which held that a
public official may employ anybody he
pleases as deputy, without regard to
sex, age or previous condition Of SER
vitude. This was based. not on any
thing decided in Iowa, but the deci-
sions Of courts in other states. The
theory is that the head official acts
thru the deputy. who is practically no
moro than the personal representative
Of the chief.
The department Is going to rely on
that decision, at least until some one
makes a test case and gets some rul-
ing to the contrary.
The iowa supreme court has taken
a broader ground as regards public Of
ficials. but might lean toward the la
dies in q matter Of this kind.

A surprising development in the case
against John Mosley for the alleged
murder Of John Schrum came in the
preliminary hearing when Justice J. M.

not shown that crime was committed
or connected Mosley with the alleged

said in Diminishing the case that he did

Ackley, Dec. e.A-If conditions preva-
lent In this community are universal
turnout egg producing centers the 10
cal merchants can not be charged with
responsibility for the high price Of hen
fruit complained Of by the consumers in
the large cities. They are getting none
Of the profit. One Of our local buyers
shipped a consignment Of eggs to Chi
cago this week. He paid an average
price Of 33 cents per dozen for them.
The market price in Chicago at the
time Of their arrival as quoted in the
daily papers was AZ cents. Mr. Local
Buyer received Just 30A cents per doz-
en- for the consignment, not figuring
the price Of the cases in which the eggs
were packed and which cost him %
cents each.
Merchant at Disadvantage.
Keen competition among the mer-
chants of small towns in agricultural
communities and lack Of organization
compels them to pay the farmer price
somewhere near that quoted in the big
produce markets, for the farmer buys
his goods where he can trade In his
produce to the best advantage and Is
usually we'll informed as to market
prices thru the medium of the daily
newspaper. The commission merchant
in the big city pays the local buyer
just what he cares to pay. the latter
being at the disadvantage Of having no
storage facilities. and is obliged to sell
or suffer total loss thru spoilage.
RaiIroaders Judicious Marketing.
Railroad men. employees on the trains
which pass thru the small towns are
many Of the in the habit Of having the
local station agent purchase eggs for
the homeward trip they pick up a few
and their neighbours family. The diff
ference in price between that Of the
small town and the city in which they
live ranges all the way from ten cents
to twenty cents per dozen. tho dis
lance may be but twenty or thirty
miles. b.
Differences Of q Cents.
Recently citizen Of Aclley shipped
a case Of thirty dozen eggs to a rela-t
tive in New York City. The New

using than they were worth here. The
transportation charges were $l.35. and

These things present the question Of
whether the high cost Of living could
not be greatly reduced by different
