CORN-Closing for the week were
A@1a lower. Conditions In the Argen
tine republic have had more or less to
do with the lowering Of the price of this
article in the United States during this
week than anything else to come to the
front as a potent factor. The weather
in Argentina has changed and Is now
favorable for the handling of the crop
that is offered at lower prices 1t is ex-
pected that buyers Of corn not only in
the United States. but in the old world
as well. will be placed in position to
name the price Of the cash grain to
come out of the southern hemisphere.
In addition to the increased offerings
of Argentina. the Danubian supply Is
larger, and that country is pressing it's
grain for sale. The fact that the corn
in the Argentina republic is Of better
quality than few weeks ago is at
tracing buyers, and it will help the
markets of the world no little, Argen-
tina corn is offering at Now York for

Tame Geese Decoy
Wild Ones in Back
Yard F1o,Uer Home

An unusual story Of tame geese de-
coying wild ones in the residence por-
tion Of the city is told by Billy Pat
ton, 616 West State street.
Last Tuesday night, ond early We'd
nesday morning, people who happened
20 De on the street, or were awakened by
the noise, were attracted by the cries
OF wild geese and ducks as they were
lying low across the city. The birds
appeared to be countless. and because
OF the numerous flocks 1t was impos-
sible to tell just which way they were
going. altho it is presumed, from later
developments, that they were hurrying
south ahead of the cold wave that
struck the northern country.
AS Billy" Patton was on his way
home, at about II o'clock, he heard
an unusual sound emanating from the
backyard Of the w. P. Flower home,
4p7 West Main. He recognized the
call OF the geese and knowing that Mr..
Flower kept some tame geese, investi-
gated to see If anything had happened
to frighten them. He had no sooner
appoarched the yard when, up into the
air, few large number of wild geese.
probably two flocks, and scurried away
toward the south. The tame geese were
out in the yard, and called to their
wild brethren to come back. The pres
ence Of a human being was too much
for the wild birds, and they did not
care to take any further chances on
getting acquainted with the strange.
domesticated fowls.

NEW FIRE TRUCK HERE
Is Very Similar to Old Truck-county
Machine Here

Machine Here.
No less than four carloads OF ma
chinery and materials for the city and
county was delivered al railroad sta
tions this forenoon. Among the ship
ments was the new fire truck for the
city. 1t is in all essential features, so
far as appearance goes, very much like
the old truck. 1t has, however, great
er horsepower, and is somewhat heav-
Ter. The motor is rated at sixty horse
power, and the machine is equipped
with both a hand crank for starting
and a self starter. The fire fighting
equipment carried consists of a large
and several small chemical tanks, and
two sets of short extension ladders.
The truck IS painted red, and num-
bered I, with N. F.. D. across the radi-
a-or ard on top of the hood. The truci.
was run up town and will be placed for
service in the central station. The old
truck will be transferred to the south
side station, and the last team OF
horses of the fire department now used
at the south side station will be turned
over TO the street department.
The road leveler, huge machine,
that the supervisors ordered subject to
a trial, was delivered this forenoon. II
is a machine, mounted on four wheels
and carrying two large metal scrape.s
similar to the blades Of road drag,
which are designed to level the sur
face Of a road and carry the loose
earth to the center of the road to form
a crown.
On another railroad two carloads OF
the corrugated cuivert pipe, purchased
by the city from r. A. Ely. were de.

to the music lovers of Marshalltown an
opportunity to hear music Of an UNI
usually high order. That this oppor-
tunity was fully appreciated by the

demonstrated by the enthusiastic re-

bers.
The progrNm was varied, including
numbers frAn Schumann, D'Albert,
Beethoven, Bortkiewicz. Debussy,

be a master musician whose equal has
rarely been heard in this city. AT the
close of the program Mr.. Lawton re-
sponded to an insistent encore.
Mr.. Lawton was a favorite student OF

her capacity to live unscathed amid
the fires of sex which she deliberate
ly kindles in men!
The dictionary defines "salaman-
DER as a mythical being having hui
man form and endowed with the pow
er of living in proximity to fire. But
Owen Johnson says she is no myth,
but fact. His latest novel 1.-THE Sal
amander" has made her it's heroine.
New York has taken to the sala-
mander phrase. Shops show the sala-
mander petticoat, and the salamander
pantalette, a bifurcated garment
made of ACCORDION Pleated tulle or
chiffon caught in a rubber band at
the ankle and taking the place of an
underskirt.
The salamander formula of fasci-
nation-"a flash of neck, flash of
ankle and a flash of red," is followed
by young girls here more faithfully
than if it were a religious rite!
