Unseen, Unknown
Future....

Many years ago the late Charles A
Dana wrote a letter to little CIR
who asked If there was a Santa Claus
Here are some extracts from It:
"Yes, Virginia, there Is Santa
Claus: he exists as certainly as
love, generosity and devotion ex-
ist, The most real
things in the world are those
things that neither men nor Chill
dren see. You may tear apart
the baby's rattle and see what
makes the noise inside, but there
is wall covering the unseen
world which not the strongest
man nor the united strength OF
all the strongest men can tear
apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry,
love. romance, can push aside
the curtain and view the glory be-
yond. Is 1t real? All, Virginia,
i'm all this world there Is nothing
else real and abiding. No Santa
Claus? He lives and lives foreV-
er."
There is a wall covering the un-
SEEN" there is a wall covering the fu-
ture, and those beautiful sentiments
love, generosity and devotion" de-
mand that provision be made for that
unknown future. No better proyis-
ion can be made than by means or a
life insurance policy in the Staunch
Old Mutual Benefit.

Des Moines, Oct. S1-J. NJ. Bechtel
the big apple grower of southwestern
Iowa, was chief witness in the apple
rate case presented to an interstate
commerce commission referee at St.
Louis this week. Laurence Greene. of
Iowa State. College. was another i'm
portant witness, The apple growers
from Nebraska and Missouri were' also
on hand, and q strong showing was
made for the necessity of a general re-
vision Of the rates on apples out of the
big tri-state apple region along the
Missouri river.
The apple raisers declared that ap-
pie growing is profitable and therein
the representatives of the carriers tried
to corner them by inquiring what
com plaint they have if their business is
so profitable with rates as they are.
But 1t was shown that while the region
ships from 5000 to 5000 carloads to
the markets it is capable of producing
more nearly $4,000 carloads when prop
erly developed. In case there is any en-
largement of the business so that mar
kets further away are needed to con-
sumo the surplus the rate question be-
comes important. The market for the
Iowa apples is limited to few large cit
les not far away.
The effort of the apple growers is
to secure rates that will enable them
to go into the south and southwest on
terms equal to those of eastern grow

Baskerville, Oct 81. That Esther
VILE is cursed by firebugs is beyond
dispute. Whether the fires are set for
the purpose of robbery or set by boys
who have a mania for committing
crime of that sort is not known and
will not be known to certainty until
the guilty ones have been found. but
that the recent fires are OF incendiary
origin is beyond question. They have
been so numerous as to cause serious
apprehension on the part of the citi-
zens and warrant a very careful po-
Icing of the city by the mayor and
very watchful eye Kept by ali of our
people for suspicious characters.

but was discovered in time to be eN-

In the business district during that
time fires have been started back of
the Peterson grocery on Lincoln street
and back of the Masonic block on
North Sixth street both Of which were
happily discovered and eXtinguished
before serious damage had been done;
also back of the Smith drug store. The
Beht Jones large feed store was de-
stroyed Thursday night. also re was
started back of the Mahburn & Ander-
SON furniture store. 1t is possible that
the fire in the rear room of the Mrs.
Henry Riley millinery store originated
from the same source. instead of from
an electric f3at@iron as was supposed
at the time.
Evidently the intention was the de-
struction of the property. So far as
