The City Market: To Be or Not to Be.

According to estimates furnished by the
United States Bureau of Labor the average fam
lily spends forty-three and half per cent of it's
income for food. This means that if it's revenues
are 5000 per year, 1921 will be turned over to
the grocer for the necessaries of life. Of this
amount 500 will go for vegetables, eggs, fruit
and poultry, the proportion varying in the order
named.
These figures will sufficiently emphasize
how heavily exorbitant produce prices bear down
upon the household of moderate means. They
will also explain why the city authorities have
been anxious to make the city market real
money saver to the consumer. Five dollars
year saved to each family would mean twenty
five thousand dollars to the city. If market
could cut that much out Of the high cost of liv-
ing it would Justify it's existence.
But it must be said unfortunately that our
city market does not do that. The most pains
taking search will not reveal market prices lower
than those asked in the grocery stores. The
causes of this condition are obvious produce is
offered in quantities too slight to affect prices
and those selling it privately combine to hold
their prices up to grocery store rates.
In this way the municipal market is made
almost useless. If more farmers cannot be in
duced to sell their garden truck direct to the
sumner, or if Inspector Mckinley can't find a way
to stop price fixing, the city would profit more
by investing elsewhere the money now tied up
in the market property

to secure former Governor Patterson.
of Tennessee, now a national leader in
the ti-SalOon League, for one OF the
attractions at the coming Richmond

In order to carry forward the up

in Richmond last winter by the impor-
tation of blackguard to give the
people religious instruction which the
local ministerial association admitted
was beyond their capabilities, this

people may sit at his feet and receive
instruction in citizenship.

autumn which relate in plain, unvar-
nished language the arrest of former

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.
1t is Country Where Social Rela-
ton Must Precede Business
Success.

Some people think the United
States can now annex a little year.
ly item of S500,000,000 South
American trade, merely by provid-
ing the needed shipping facilities.
Undoubtedly Brazil, the Argentine,
etc, will buy IN our country while
customary sources of supply are
tied up by the war But if the war
lasts but few months, great Eur
opean exporting houses are not go
ing to lie down while Uncle Sam
walks off with their trade.
Business methods III dealing with
these countries must be radically
changed, as all intelligent observers
know. A system of American banks
is needed An American business
man recently said it took him three
days to cash a United States sub
treasury draft. Uncle Sam is not
on the map. The foreign bankers
take copies of every invoice and
scrap paper that goes through their
hands. They know the prices at
which goods are sold by American
producers, and that valuable infor-
nation is transmitted to Europe.
1t is country where social re-
lations must precede business sue
cess. Business goes by favor and
friendship.
Perhaps our exporters do not now
so frequently print Spanish direc-
tions on goods used in Portuguese
speaking countries. But they still
have too much of the slap dash
method. The salesman with smat-
tering of Spanish tries in vain to
push our goods. 1t is about as IL a
Hungarian laborer, just out of night
school, should try to sell grand pi-
amos in a swell American residence
street.
No mere emergency buying for a
brief war period will win that trade.
But there is a great field for young
men who will study the South Amer
Jean temperament and learn its
whims and Municipalities. The buy
ing that will be done here during
the present war gives a unique OPP
portunity to make start, and open
ducts.

What's News.

What's news anyhow? Editors
seem to differ. Some seem to think
that news is the doings of the high
and mighty, the people who move
along the mountain tops, the princes
of society and industry. That it's
those who live in the biggest houses
on the avenue, who make the biggest
show and attract most attention who
should fill the columns of the papers
and be most talked about And that S
what one finds when it comes to the
metropolitan press and city papers.
But we country editors have differ
ent field to work in. We are inter
ested in the activities of the commu-
nifty, and the people who live and
move and have their being with
us.
What's news with us? Why, any
thing that will make our people think
and act Our readers are interested
in what their neighbors are doing
of course Not necessarily what the
hayward perpetrate, nor what the
dishonest and the depraved are do
ing. They are interested in a way In
the going and coming of the people
they know. 1t is matter of interest
when this person or that goes here
or there. Not very great interest to
the community maybe, but to some
of our readers. And they like to
know about the lesser happenings of
the community. From the nature
of our newspaper work they have
reason to expect it.
But we are also interested In what
people say and think. Often the most
important movements emanate from
the obscurer sources. Somebody has
expressed thought, the newspaper
takes it up and celebrates, readers
enlarge, and so on, till something OF
Importance has developed In the
community.
So we say, news Is anything thai
contributes to the advancement OF
the community. The happening may
be tri' ial, IS result may be grea,
in consuD ltion. The editor mus,
MOI despis, nor ignore the small
things no he small people of the
c. nrlity He should note what
ev.. lieves will make people
think ter act better. and help one
another ore and better. This Is
I news in it widest sense, and, though
trivial in sor eyes, it should be kept
G.within the sion of every up-todat
J ccuntry tor.

To Exhibitors of Swine at Fair


The State Veterinary Department
informs us that it will this year in.
sist on the observation of the follow.
ing rule:
/ Rnle 2.-All swine exhibited al
State, County or other fairs or ex.
hibitions in the State of Iowa must
be accompanied by certificate
showing that they have been immu-
nized with Dorset-McBride-N Miles
anti-hog cholera serum not more
than thirty days prior to date OF
such Fair or Exhibition when serum
alone is used and not less than thir-
ty days prior to date of such Fair OF
Exhibition when the double or sim
ultaneous method is used.
From the above it will be seen il
is now too late to immunize the
hogs for exhibition at the Winnie
shiek Fair with the double or SIM
infamous treatment. There is how
ever time enough to use the single
serum method before the Fair.

SchOOnnaker.

Mrs. lola Jane Schoonmaker Hos
teller passed away at her home in
Ocean Park, California, Sunday,
Aug. 9th, death being due to heart
failure. The remains were brought
to Ossian for burial, the funeral oc-
curing Tuesday, with interment in
Centennial cemetery, Rev. Elton d.
Wells officiating.
The deceased was born Dec. Goth,
1858, at Moneek, Iowa, and was
united in marriage in 1868 to Ezra
Shoemaker, nine children being
born to the union, three of whom
are deceased, Mary, Rufus and
Daisy. The surviving children are
Clara, Fred, Cora, Earl, lola and
Dana, all of whom reside in Canada,
with the exception of lola who lives
in Kansas City, Mo.
The deceased was married to Nor
gan Hostetler, of Ocean Park, in
1912.
While resident of Ossian she
was member of the Universalist
church. Later she united with the
Christian church in Waukeegan, ILL.,
On going to California she transferr-
ed her membership to the Christian
church of Ocean Park, where it was
at the time of her death.
The death has come as a surprise
to all, since the deceased was
thought to have been in good health.
She has been always great lover
OF nature-see;ng the beauty In the
birds and trees and flowers. She was
the student as we'll as the lover of
nature, well read and thoughtful,
and charming in her conversation.
Above all she was a mother-God's
workman at fashioning the human
soul. The loving regard of her chill
dren bear testimony to her greatness
in this work.
The many old friends and neigh
bors of Ossian unite in their sympa-
thy with them that sorrow.
