TO RAISE FUND FOR
PANAMA BUILDING

Des Moines, Nov. ga statewide
movement to raise funds for an Iowa
building at the Panama exposition in
San Francisco in 1915 will be started
in the near future. L. G. Anderson. an
exposition commissioner, appeared be.
fore the Des Moines Admen's clubs this
week. He then went to Dubuque
where he will appear before CONNER
cial bodies in behalf Of the movement
Mr.. Anderson hopes to have enough in.
terest aroused that a. state meeting
will be held within three weeks.
The last general assembly voted
down an appropriation of $4,000 to
erect building at the Panama eXposi-
ton. 1t will be necessary to raise
this amount by popular subscription
The Des Moines Admen's club passed
strong resolutions indorsing such a
movement and Offering it's hearty sup
port.
Here are some of the reasons as
outlined by Mr.. Anderson why Iowa
should have building:
Thirty-one states have already de-
dicated sites for buildings.
Twenty-eight foreign nations will
be represented.
Six legislatures meet in 1914 with
promise Of making appropriation.
Kansas and Wisconsin have commits
sions on the way to San Francisco
row to dedicate sites.
New York has appropriated 100000
for its building, Pennsylvania 100000
and other states similar amounts.
1t is estimated $4,000 people from
Iowa will attend the exposition. Fig
ures are based on comparative dis
tances and registration of Iowans at
former expositions.

WATER SCARCE AT PELLA

Pella, Nov. 29-Water seems to be
getting scarce at the pumping station
on account of the exceedingly low
mark OF the water in the Des Moines
river. The city has ordered the clerk
to notify the railroad company of the
conditions and that the city will be un,
able to furnish them what water they
need until rains visit the state. The
conditions could be remedied by the
deepening of the galleries.

HORSE MARKET

Yesterdays sale was our in between
light SALE l had advertised it as being
especially for southern horses and
mules, and as a result nearly all the
stock consigned was Of that class.
While we had no shipments in this
week. horses were led In from as tar
as 40 miles, and our consignors all
seemed well pleased with their sales.
Prices are lower all round, much low
e. than they have been for the past
~tw years, but this condition is gener-
al and the people are becoming recon-
ciled to it, and many believe prices will
continue to decline.
I advertised that we would have
three different southern buyers. and
we had, in fact. f1ve-kelly, Walsh,
Frandsen. Hull and Winslow, the latter
buying for both the south and the
east.
Consigners were Roy Fite, Hamp
Scott, V. w. Ward. w. T. Ratliff, A. w.
Warner, Sam Ager, E. A. Perdue, John
C'Horan and others. Ottumwa is wide
ly known as place where you can cash
any class of a horse on any Friday.
A GREAT SALE NEXT FRIDAY.
Next Friday we hold our big special
draft sale, and it will be a rouser.
not guess at any of the statements I
make in these ads. And I repeat it-a
great gathering Of horses and horsemen
is what next Fridays sale will be.
Four of our southern customers have
promised to be here to look after all
the small horses and mules, driving
horses and fat plugs that can be gath
cred in Ottumwa that day. They say
they will buy $50 to 200 head If they
can get them. And for the heavy draft,
wagon horses and feeders, the north
and the east, will be here In full COM
petition for them. There is no question
in the world, but Ottumwa Is a better
market for chunks and medium draft
horses than ST. Louis. and 1t Is also
true that we can sell heavy drafts
weighing from 1900 to 1900 to our
northern customers for more money
than the Chicago buyers can pay.
I expect to have several representa-
tives from the lumber country here
next Friday and l say to any one who
has a big horse ready-don't miss this
sale 1t helps if you send word what
you'll have.

ELMSFORD, N. c.. June 7.-Or-
lando Dammit of this village wishes
to change his name and has started
proceedings to that end. Dammit
says that his name has caused him a
great deal of worry. For instance,
it is a common thing to hear some
friend shout:
Dammit! Come here a second,
will you?"
Then again, Dammit says that it is
rather awkward for him when his
name is being called at lodge meet
ings. The secretary goes down the
list of names and when he ONES -
his says:

Half the time, Dammit says, he
doesn't know whether his name is be-

has made a blot Oh the books and is
merely giving vent to his feelings

Head of sanitarium Declares it Is
Only Question Of Few Years
Before Everyone Is Mad.

WASHINGTON. June THE
world is rapidly going insane, and
the present day womens fashions are
responsible for much Of the i'm
morality of the period. These state
ments were made by DR.. W. A. Ruble
president Of the College of Medical
Evangelists and superintendent Of
the Iona Linda oCaLD Sanitarium.
Dr. Ruble declared that if insan-
ity continued TO increase at the rate
it had, within the next hundred years
there would be more insane people
in the world than sane. and that the
insane would set the few sane crazy.
Alcohol, he declared, was directly
responsible for twenty per cent of the
insane. and indirectly responsible for
much more than that. This, together
with the social evil, are the principal
causes of insanity. he declared
There is not one person who is
perfect mentally We have lapses Of
memory. and this shows that we are
not perfect mentally. Then why
should we worry? There is none OF
us but what can overcome these diff
culties The habit of worry may be

MARhET GOSSIP

The market was dull today 1t
was announced there would be a
three day holiday on the San Fran
cisco and New York exchanges, be-
ginning Thursday. This had a ten
dency to discourage trading on short
turns. New York came lower on
most stocks, but San Francisco open
ed higher, especially on North Star
Midway, Mizpah and Rescue. North
Star is looking better today than for
several days. The ore has widened
out to feet of a very excellent
grade. We look for a sharp upturn
on North Star about the first of the
month, when the profits for the
month are published It is believed
that the profits will show around
100000 in which case it will put
Star among the best profit earners,
whose stock is selling well above a
dollar At this rate Star will be
on a dividend paying basis by Christ
mas and a Christmas present will
undoubtedly be distributed. The up
turn in Midway, which we have been
predicting started a little sooner
