STRAWBERRIES NOW
RIPE IN MONTE VISTA

The Monte Vista agricultural
district leads the world in natural
resources climate, artesian water
and the soil, which produces abun-
dant crops of potatoes, grains and
alfalfa. Hardy fruits have been
grown here for years. Now comes
the final triumph. Strawberries
can be successfully raised that ma
ture early and fruit until the first
of November
Miss Laura Bechtel this spring
planted 100 strawberry plants of a
special variety which are called the
Burbank frost proof or blizzard
belt" These plants have paid no
attention to our October frosts and
are now bearing, one plant having
a bunch of eleven berries almost as
large as pullet eggs.

A MUSICAL TREAT

The Presbyterian church was
filed Sunday evening with a highly
apprecistive audience TO listen to
special musical program which
was superbly rendered by the ex-
cellent choir of that congregation.
These musical treats, which have
been given on two successive Sun
day evenings, have been greatly
enjoyed by those in attendance.
The heroic manner in which Dr.
Moore has attended to his ministe-
rial duties in spite of his weakened
condition caused by ill-health has
elected the admiration and wonder
of his hosts of friends in the San
Luis valley. They all fervently
hope that be may soon be able to
fill the Office of pastor of this
church with his old-time vigor.

USES STOVE AS A BANK.
Fort Dodge Woman Deposits 500 in
Range and Then starts Fire to
Get Binner-SOme of DAM
aged Money Nay BE
Redeemed.

Fort Dodge, March 23.-Mrs. Fred
Hesselbring, Jr., has lost her belief
in stoves as good banking place for
money. Last Sunday before going to
the German Lutheran church of
which she is member, she put
about hundred dollars in currency
and bills in the stove. This was
surely a much safer and to say the
least original place than, stockings,
mattress or sugar bowl. No Grant
thief would ever seek there.
After church, there was a big din
ner to get, and the fire was started
for preparation of the meal. Even
in these days of high cost of living,
no family sat down to a richer spread
than one boiled and baked on green
backs. Late in the afternoon, came
the memory of the money and then
CONSERVATION reigned. The silver
part of the hoard was immune, but
the bills and checks were badly sing
ed if not totally burned. However,
the remnants have been sent back to
Washington, and it is thought will be
redeemed.
On Saturday Mr.. Hasselbring, who
is coal dealer, had been collecting
and was too late to take the fruits
of his labor to the bank.

TOWNS DEBT DECREASED.
McGregor Owes But $500 and Part
OF Debt is Not Due For Years.

McGregor, Ia, March 23.-At the
last meeting of the city council the
Indebtedness of McGregor was
brought down to the comparatively
small sum of $500. The first issue
of waterworks bonds amounting to
$4,000 and 900 refunding bonds
were paid off at the meeting. In can
ceiling these obligations it was not
necessary to use a dollar of the 1913
taxes. The only outstanding debts
against the town are now $4,000 re-
funding bonds and the second issue
of waterworks bonds of $4,000. The
latter is not due until 1917. For a
good many years because of extrava-
CANT expenditures in early days es-
pecially the payment of large sums
to the Milwaukee railway company
at the time the river road was built
the city was heavily in debt and taxes
were burdensome. By economical
MANAGEMENT the debts have been
rapidly decreased the past ten years
From this time on taxes it is expect
ed will be considerably lower than
they have ever been.

Iowa Grand Army Statistics.

Des Moines, March 9.-Iowa lost
413 civil war veterans identified with
tho G. A. R. by death during 1913,
according to the report sent to ma
tional headquarters by G.. A. New
man, assistant adjutant general of
the Iowa department of the G. A. R.
Deaths outside the ranks of the G..
A. r. posts are not recorded.
According to the report of the Iowa
department, there are remaining in
Iowa about lila civil war veterans
of whom 9,114 are identified with
the Grand Army and 1000 are out
side. Many of these have dropped
memberships in posts owing to ad-
vanced age, which prevents them
from attending the meetings.
While the death rate among the
veterans did not increase in 1913, it
held its own regardless of the fact
that the number of old soldiers has
been steadily decreasing In 1911
there were 542 deaths, and in 1912
there were Ala. In 1913 there were
Alb reported.

Army Efficiency.

Some people want two battleships
built yearly, others want four, while
some wish none at all. Yet all these
diverging points of view should agree
i'm this, that our military forces
should be organized with the effici-
ency of a private corporation, and so
Systematically that they could fight
at the traditional drop of hat.
During the few days that the Ben
ton incident seemed to reach the pro-
portions of a real war-cloud, many
citizens were anxiously asking what
our army could do if called on to act
in hurry.
Over in England some years ago
a government was turned out OF
power merely because it allowed the
supply of ammunition to get low. In
this country, one questions whether
a single clerk would lose his job on
that account The public is not much
concerned over military affairs. What
1t principally wants is to get an army
post located near by, where the SOL
diers will buy groceries and fodder,
and help boom local trade.
At the army posts life goes on
sleepiiy enough. Baby carts are a
more familiar sight than gun carri-
ages. The soldiers practice the
art of war, when they arn't
moving the lawns, repairing the
walks, or listening to the military
band. A fine type of suburban vii
lage is built up, and graceful and
refined social life exists. But is 1t
preparation for war?
American citizens have reason for
pride in the development of the navy.
Where only three per cent OF the
shots took effect at Santiago, in re-
cent practice as many as 10 per cent
have been hits. But the army life is
less spectacular. Efficiency here
does not interest the people so much,
and they do not demand it SO strenu-
ousIy. Bitter complaints are made
by military students, that personal
friendship and political considera-
lions count too much in making pro-
motions If the army is called into
Mexico it will make fine showing
of courage and science, but it could
do the job much more quickly If
such defects could be done away
with.

BUSINESS IS BRISK . ON MORRIS AVENUE Good Demand for Produce. First Alabama Alfalfa
 of Season

Business continues brisk on Morris ave- nue Fruit and produce merchants re- port a good demand. while the supply is adequate and of excellent quality for this season. Prices as rule remain un- changed in the produce market.
 Meat men also report good trades with slight variations in prices The Mexi- can situation has not as yet affected the market to any sppreciable extent but should hostilities continue much longer the local meat market would probably experience distinct stiffening in prices. It is thought that canned meats would be the first product to be affected in this event.
 The arrival of the first carload of pea green alfalfa of this season from west Alabama caused slight stir among feed merchants. The car in question was re- ceived yesterday by the Tennessee Mill company, which has resumed business on First avenue. As the Alabama all falfa product is of excellent quality, a good demand is expected.
