CLIPS FROM WOOL
GROWERS MEETING

Southeastern Iowa raises more
sheep and wool than any other section
of the state. About a dozen counties
in this part of Iowa produces more
than half the sheep and wool Of the
entire state.
The bulk of the sheep raised by the
farmers with the big focks in south
ern Iowa is of the fine wool variety.
The majority of the sheep breeders
in this section and especially the men
with small flocks, have the coarse wool
varieties.
Nine men present at the convention
represent the ownership of more than
5000 of the woody animals.
A sheep breeders convention would
seem incomplete without the names OF
Moore, Rail, Blakely and Warner on
the register. They are here and
more regulars with them.

1t was the elders severity In one
direction and his laxity in another that
puzzled people. He owned and drove
the fastest stepping horse in the town.
When out on the road he passed every
thing on four legs. They said it was far
worse to own trotting horse than it
was togo to candy pull and kiss the
girls, but the elder refused to argue the
matter.
What was the matter with the good
man. although he himself did not sus'
pect it, was that away back among his
ancestors-clear back to Miles Stand.

queror--was a game old sport who
couldn't be bluffed. A drop or two OF
his blood had come along down to the
elder. It made him horse sport He
could keep his trotter off the race
but he couldn't hold him in on the road.
The Widow Holmes was new

from town and she drove in about

she drove was bay gelding, six years

+, 1--WE are great believers in insurance
here. Mr. Garfield has insured both
the children so that they will both have
81 900 when they are ready for college.
A little set aside each years lessons
the strain of sending two young people
to college at once
1--WE are preparing for that too, re-
joined Mrs Maxfield. when our old
est boy was year old my husband
deposited $50 in the savings bank, in
his name and he adds dollar week.
At the end of the second year $500 was
,, taken out and invested with mine. The
boy has $3.50 in building and loan
shares and something like $40 in the
bank besides. My husband treats the
girls the same as the boy. Ruth has
over 5000 and baby about 800, includ-
ing interest. That provides for their
education or marriage portion or what
ever they need to use it for. He figures
that each child will have $1,000 when
twenty-one.'
THAT is a little better than we are
doing, but it is taxing you more heavi-
ly,'' said Mrs. Garfield.
1--WE have three children and you
have only two. Harry gives me 5000
year and each child $50: that makes
1855 year. That is pretty heavy, but
we feel that we can get more pleasure
out of the feeling Of security 1t gives
us than we could any other way" said
Mrs. Maxfield
81 guess there is not so much differ
ence after all in the cost per thousand
Your returns are little better, but you
have. the trouble of attending to il"
said Mrs Garfield.
ooh, I do not consider it any trouble
to puy my shares. and friend of mine

it is all a matter of how you look at
it, and Mrs. Maxfeld slipped her tea.
Eyes, suppose so. Eeverything Is,

"Why do you prefer the money to
insurance?" asked the hostess.
81 buy shares at $50 each in the
building and loan company, and they
draw six per cent on first class secur-
ity. With bigger sums l sometimes
take farm mortgages at seven per cent:
The advantage is that If Harry should
be sick or out of position there would
be no danger of a lapse. We could use
our savings in an emergency, though
we shall never touch the money except
under nressure that would drive us 70
borrow on life insurance.
"That way is all right if one takes 1t
seriously. as one would meet the in
surance premiums when they fall due
"We take the thing very seriously
Mrs. Maxwell continued, "and nothing
is allowed to interfere with the pay
ments."

PEACE PROSPECTS
AID THE BEARS
NUMEROUS AND WIDE SPREAD
RAINS FACTOR IN REDUCING
GRAIN TRADE.

Chicago, April 27.-Mexican peace
prospects had o bearish effect today on
the wheat market. The fact that rains
were general over the greater part of
winter and spring crop belts was also
influential in causing a downturn. At
the resulting decline however, buying
on the part of commission house
brought about rally which overcame
nearly all the loss. Opening prices were
M@A to y a 70 lower and there was a
slightly further sag before the market
began to react.
The recovery proved to be only tran
silent. Abundance Of moisture la west
ern Kansas counted especially against
the bulls. The close was steady ~ ON
to &c net lower.
Corn descended with wheat. Profess
sional spectators were active sellers
and were favored by improved weather
in Argentina as we'll as by the change
in the Mexican outlook. Prices started
n off to " up, hardened moderately on
account Of some tightness in the May
option, and then weakened all around.
Falling off in eastern demand for
cash corn kept the market weak. The
close was at u @% to &c net decline.
Oats shared in the depression Of 9TH
er grain. A leading elevator concern
bought generously on the break but
did not seem to make much Roadway
in turning sentiment
Bears attacked the provision market
with decided vigor. First sales varied
from 10c to 2hc advance, with later
transactions showing at further set
back as a rule.
